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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

[Optional, recommended] Setting up blocknotify

• In config.json set the port and password for blockNotifyListener

• In your daemon conf file set the blocknotify command to use:

  [path to scripts/blockNotify.js] [listener host]:[listener port] [listener password] [coin name in config]
  %s"
  

  • Example: dogecoin.conf > blocknotify="scripts/blockNotify.js localhost:8117 mySuperSecurePassword dogecoin %s"
