Title: Coinium - C# based open-source pool software [.net & mono]
Post by: bonesoul on March 07, 2014, 12:28:13 AM
New support topic here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=604476.0 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=604476.0)

We are collectively developing a mono based new pool software;

https://github.com/CoiniumServ/coinium

Quote
Coinium is an effort to bring crypto-coins to C# space and create a reference pool software implementation. It can be compiled with Microsoft .NET or Mono, which means you can run it on Windows, MacOS, and Linux.

More details soon!

This looks really cool, I downloaded the source and ran it, but my miner would not talk to it - it keeps timing out.    Will this work with cpuminer?

I've been keeping an eye on Coinium. I'm in the process of developing a gameplan to set up a multipool type of thing, with some select auto-exchanged POS coins available for users. As far as multipool software that supports auto-exchange, there's nothing ready made that I can use, so I've been digging and digging everywhere I can for code snippets or other stuff I can adapt to something like NOMP. I've actually ran across quite a bit of very interesting stuff, but most everything I come across is done with programming languages I'm less than familiar with, so it presents a rather large obstacle. Since I ran across Coinium I've been pretty excited to see it with all its planned features implemented. I haven't actually tried out a build of it yet, but was wondering how feature-complete it is so far? Any idea how far off it is from being ready for running a live pool, and are/will the switching and autoexchange features be usable when its ready for live testing, or will those features be held off until the rest of the project has matured further?

Sorry for all the questions, just trying to get an idea of what, if anything, I can do with Coinium at the moment. Also, I really like the frontend on the coinium.org pool website. Will that be a feature in CoiniumServ or is it a custom, proprietary frontend? I'd like to get my hands on that :b

There's a ton of multipools out there, some of the biggest and oldest, if I'm not mistaken, are pretty much 100% custom. Unfortunately, for a lone entrepreneur like me, hiring a dev team is out of the question, and I just don't have the time or enough experience in the most useful programming languages for this kind of project. Its nice to see a project taking shape that doesn't seem to be having any features deliberately held back or put aside for a "premium" version.

Thanks for reading and please, if you have any information for me, if you wouldn't mind sending me a quick PM to check the thread, I would greatly appreciate it.

This looks amazing! Any word on which version of Mono this will require as I know certain distributions have some older Mono packages in their repos.

our main support topic is over here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=604476.0

and mono 3.2+ is just fine.
