Title: Information and help needed
Post by: swogerino on March 21, 2018, 09:14:55 PM
I was contacted by some of my colleagues at work that they want to setup their own pool and point all their miners to this pool in order to mine more efficiently and to have the chance to find a block every 1-2 days. I work as an IT but I am not familiar with these things, at best I have helped them by installing their mining computers. They told me their hashrate is 4 Ghs in DaggerHashimoto which I believe is Ethereum.

I think they need a server and a programmer who will do the maintenance for them but I don't know what else is needed. Can anyone help me with a list of all the needed things. I told them that this will be costly but they told me to not worry for the budget.

You need to be a little bit more specific :)
they want to set up up multi coin mining pool wit auto switching function ?
or they want to set up ETH mining pool ?
they want a mining pool for what coin exactly ?

That 4Gh/s what you mentioned is probably around 150 GPU, if its a amd rx470/480/570/580 setup with right bios mod and fine tune :)

HERE is a basic guide (http://betbybitcoin.com/setup-ethereum-mining-pool-using-open-source-ethereum-pool/) to set up a ETH mining pool

Ok thank you for your reply, I think at first they need only an ethereum mining pool and they have 50 mining computers with the Rx 580 Nitro so they have 50 computers multiplied by 6 cards , 300 cards. I guess they don't have fine tuned the cards. We will have a look at the guide and will ask questions here if we have any.

It seems they try to do "Solo Mining" to their own mining pool, so they were asking you to build private mining pool, right? xxcsu (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=826393) has given you the link to do it.

I meet someone that do solo mining on ETH. 31,5 GH/s from 900 GPUs, solving around 2-3 block a day.

Of Course.
I am mining Ethereum Solo with 31,5 GH/s from 900 GPUs

You are the man!  ;)
How many blocks solved each day by the way? Am curious to compare with pooled mining estimation.
Have you tried other Ethash coins? Music coin maybe?

I am mining 2 - 3 blocks a day, best was 7 blocks at one day, but got them with a luck of under 20 % each.
Other coins are not such profitable like ethereum at time.
Got a private multipool with Ethereum, Ethereum Classic, Expanse with autoswitching between coins.
I am only mining the "big 3" DaggerHashimoto coins, but in fact only ethereum, based on profitablity.

Thank you. I told to my colleagues the same thing is being discussed there in the topic you provided, that solo mining is good for those who believe in winning often the lottery and that would not be profitable anyway because they are some persons, each one with a specific number of mining computers and they will split the winnings. I told them to use Nanopool or Ethermine or Nicehash if they prefer payouts in Bitcoin but they are insisting on solo mining , all of them. I gave them both links, link to the guide and link to the topic for them to check, I am out of this as my share will be small anyway even if I help them with setting up Ubuntu and Nginx for example.

I am locking the topic for the moment, if they will have other questions I will reopen it.
