Title: Setting up a Private Stratum Pool
Post by: code18red on March 29, 2013, 10:48:56 PM
I am looking for information on how to setup a private stratum pool for me and my friends.
If someone could point me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it.

Have a look in the mining pools thread.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=41.0

Specifically
This one which is slush's stratum server
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=108533.0

which generalfault expanded on a bit and the git respository for it is here

https://github.com/generalfault/stratum-mining

Managed to get this basically working in the last couple of days.

There is also eloipool
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=61731.0

setting up for solo

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=158105.0

I managed to get the server started, but not with midstate as I cant get it to compile.
Havent gotten around to testing the server yet.

There is a list at

https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Software#Mining_Pool_Servers_.28backend.29

only one current on there is eloipool.

Edit: To add there is really no easy setup and go, out there without paying someone to write it unless you can do it yourself.

Hey Tiktoc -
What build error are you getting with midstate? 

I have been messing around trying to get eloipool working and no luck so far, but I think I got past that step.  I think I needed to change the -lpython3.2 to -lpython3.2mu when compiling on ubuntu.

Post your error and maybe we get eloipool working on ubuntu.

I have been working on a similar concept.  I posted in the Newbie section but in the meantime there has been a great post put up by 'tiktoc'.  url:  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=162788.0;topicseen

Topic: Avalon users: bitcoind and slush's/generalfaults mining pool setup.

Amazingly straightforward after spending some intimate time with the code.

I was able to get everything going and tested on testnet.

Best of luck,

--> Sebek1006 ;D

It was missing some include files I think from memory or wrong version. Will have another go at it in the next few days.
jgarzik/luke-jr? i think replied in that thread and said that midstate wasnt actully needed unless unless you were using a specfic miner program demon something?
