Title: Mining proxy? Post by: kingcoin on May 21, 2013, 05:55:30 PM Are there any simple to set up mining proxy's available?
Is it possible to use a plain web proxy like squid for mining? Title: Re: Mining proxy? Post by: 01BTC10 on May 21, 2013, 05:57:28 PM https://github.com/cdhowie/Bitcoin-mining-proxy
Title: Re: Mining proxy? Post by: kingcoin on May 21, 2013, 06:57:07 PM https://github.com/cdhowie/Bitcoin-mining-proxy That's what I had in mind when I said "simple to set up". Full blown Apache, MySQL and PHP is not exactly simple to set up. I was hoping for something more light weight. However, if that's the only miner proxy available then I just have to give it a try...

Quote Requirements Apache (2.2 or newer recommended). PHP 5.3 or newer. MySQL (5.1 or newer recommended for best performance). Instead I'd suggest https://github.com/slush0/stratum-mining-proxy which just needs python-dev on linux (and would appear to run stand-alone on windows according to the readme).

I'll look into that, even though "python-dev" is probably some Ubuntu or other distro related package. Hopefully it should be possible to install the individual packages locally rather than changing the global installation... Title: Re: Mining proxy?

Hopefully it should be possible to install the individual packages locally rather than changing the global installation... It just runs on python, but the setup script downloads a bunch of packages (eg twisted). There was a recent thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=194472.0;all where someone was having problems with the install due to not running apt-get update and apt-get install python-dev. This is just FYI as you're clearly pretty clued-up with linux stuff.Title: Re: Mining proxy? Post by: kingcoin on May 22, 2013, 09:46:35 AM The system I have in mind is somewhat limited so I would prefer a small application. I will not use the install scripts, but rather try to install the required Python packages below a plain user $HOME directory.

Title: Re: Mining proxy? Post by: kingcoin on May 22, 2013, 12:48:07 PM Well, maybe not that bad: cloning a couple git repo's and adding them using sys.path.append and then it was at least running.

Looks good. I should be able to pick up some configuration examples from there. Title: Re: Mining proxy? Post by: kingcoin on May 26, 2013, 08:02:35 AM Actually it was quite simple to install under a local $HOME directory. I simply added the file $HOME/.pydistutils.cfg with the following contents:
Code: [easy_install] and all the installed files appeared under /home/proxy/python/python-libs. |
