Title: How to start alt coin private pools [TRC]
Post by: maunderingcabal on March 06, 2013, 11:14:09 AM
I am thinking of starting a PPS TRC pool. Anyone have any guidance to do this? I want to make one, because no good ones exist.

I'm not sure this will help you getting some info / tips from those currently running one  :)

There is practically no one running a TRC pool, and no one running a TRUE PPS pool. They are all round based. I want to start a TRUE PPS TRC pool

I guess you'll have to create your own then.
There's pushpool and stuff like that, or p2pool would work to setup your own pool too, but you would still have to create your own front-end to handle accounts, count/calculate shares and so on.

When I get a chance I will look into this to see if I can't find some info for you. FYI: it would work the same as a litecoin or bitcoin pool, so if you do some search you should find some information. I remember long ago I thought about doing something like that for litecoin and there was some pretty good info out there.

Everything I've ever found is all in Linux or c+ code. Is there anything that uses the terracoind or something that would be relative non-coder friendly? I can't figure out how to even install pushpool or p2ppool... maybe this isn't possible. I just miss coinoton's pure PPS TRC and would like to start one of my own if it doesn't exist.

If you can't even install p2pool (which basically just means unzipping and read/follow instructions), then no, there's nothing (that I know of) relative non-coder friendly.

You should at least know what you're doing if you want to run a pool (and want people to trust you with their money/ressources).

OK i got p2p pool to work I just need to learn how to configure it for terra coin. Honestly I'm more baffled by pushpool. atleast I can get p2p pool to open and do something.

For p2pool to work with TRC just use something like
Code:
run_p2pool.exe --net terracoin -a <your-terracoin-address> -f 0 --bitcoind-p2p-port 13333 --bitcoind-rpc-port 13332 <your-terracoin.conf-username> <your-terracoin.conf-password>
where
-a is your address and optional, if you don't set it, p2pool will request one from terracoind
-f is the fee you want to grab from others using your pool (they can connect by using an address as username and any password)

run
Code:
run_p2pool.exe --help
for more info/options

Aren't there any nearly ready frontends yet? I thought so because some poolsites look very similar, see http://pool-x.eu, http://lhpool.eu, http://nvc.khore.org, etc ?
