Later, he co-founded Yibite, the premier Chinese Bitcoin portal, as well as F2Pool, the first mining pool for Chinese miners and one of the largest in the world. Discus Fish wrote the very first Chinese-language mining tutorial and introduced the 24-hour settlement protocol, which later became an industry standard for mining pools worldwide. In 2017, Discus Fish co-founded Cobo together with Dr Changhao Jiang.
