# Stratum Portal
## Goal of this project
When ready, this portal will be able to spawn pools for all configured coins/cryptocurrencies.
Each pool will take advantage of clustering to load balance across multiple CPU cores and be
extremely efficient.
## Description
This portal is an extremely efficient, highly scalable, all-in-one, easy to setup cryptocurrency mining pool written
entirely in Node.js. It contains a [stratum poolserver](https://github.com/zone117x/node-stratum), reward/payment/share
processor (*not yet completed*), and front-end website (*not yet completed*).
For reward/payment processing, shares will be inserted into a fast NoSQL key/value database such as Redis.
Each coin will have a processor that monitors for confirmed submitted blocks then send out payments
according to shares accumulated in the database.
It can be used to create a pool for a single coin or for multiple coins at once. The pools use clustering to load
balance across multiple CPU cores.
For now the plan is to not have user accounts, but rather, have miners use their coin address for
stratum authentication. This portal will come with a minimalistic HTML5 front-end that displays
statistics from from each pool such as connected miners, network/pool difficulty/hash rate, etc.
For reward/payment processing, shares are inserted into a fast NoSQL key/value database (Redis). Each coin has a
processor that monitors for confirmed submitted blocks then send out payments according to shares accumulated in the
database.
To reduce variance for pools just starting out which have little to no hashing power a feature
could be added that connects upstream to a larger pool server. After receiving work from the larger
pool it would then be redistributed to our connected miners.
This portal does not have user accounts/logins/registrations. Instead, miners simply use their coin address for stratum
authentication. A minimalistic HTML5 front-end connects to the portals statistics API to display stats from from each
pool such as connected miners, network/pool difficulty/hash rate, etc.
Another great feature would be utilizing the multi-pool ability of this portal to allow a connected
miner to be switched from one pool/coin to another. The switching can be controlled using a coin
profitability API such as CoinChoose.com or CoinWarz.com.
To reduce variance for pools just starting out which have little to no hashing power a feature is planned which will
allow your own pool to connect upstream to a larger pool server. It will request work from the larger pool then
redistribute the work to our own connected miners.
Automated switching of connected miners to different pools/coins is also easily done due to the multi-pool architecture
of this software. The switching can be controlled using a coin profitability API such as CoinChoose.com or CoinWarz.com
(or calculated locally using daemon-reported network difficulties and exchange APIs).
