Title: Creating Private Litecoin Pool Between Friends, Where To Start?
Post by: Tittiez on February 11, 2012, 09:52:40 PM
So, me and a couple friends decided that we could mine in a private pool together.
Two Phenom ii X4, One X6's, One i5, and One i7.

I already own a ubuntu VPS and I have basic linux knowledge, can anyone give me an idea where to start? I understand PoolServerJ added Litecoin support, would it be best to try to use that? I just need pointed in the right direction.

Although the latest version of PoolServerJ advertises experimental support for scrypt-based chains, as far as I know nobody has managed to get it to work fine yet.
At the moment I think you have two choices for the pool software: ArtForz's version of pushpool or p2k's ecoinpool.

I don't recommend pushpool (https://github.com/ArtForz/pushpool) because it is currently unmaintained.
I think ecoinpool (https://ecoinpool.p2k-network.org/projects/ecoinpool) is the way to go.

You might be able to create a private litecoin p2pool.  I think if everyone edits the litecoin BOOTSTRAP_ADDRS in p2pool/networks.py to only include your own nodes, it will work.  There could be more to it though.

Sure! Make your own Litecoin P2Pool node! For you and for your friends...
With that, you can grow with the rest of us...

Yeah actually I did, and I had ecoinpool working just fine. My friends slowly stopped mining so I eventually scrapped it to use the VPS for other things, but not before we mined a few blocks.
