Title: Novice’s Guide to Setting up a Crypto-Currency Mining Pool
Post by: profall on February 19, 2015, 01:22:27 AM
I have created a guide on how to create your own mining pool for a single crypto-currency (not a multipool). I tried to make it as novice friendly as possible and explain every step. All you really need is a very, very basic knowledge of Linux and some patience. I feel like it's important for crypto that more people are capable of running a mining pool, or at least have the knowledge of it.

I wrote the guide for Litecoin. However, it can be easily adapted to Bitcoin. Just a few things you'd need to change in the guide that are self explanatory anyway and you can ask for help if you get confused about it.  

Here's the guide:

Here is an example of what you would be setting up if you follow the guide:

All the software used in the guide is free/open source.

I will try and create more guides as time goes on. I will also support the guides I currently have, so feel free to ask any questions pertaining to the guide in the Help & Support forum. Anybody else that is knowledgeable with mining pool software, or linux feel free to help other users.

This is also the "early access" launch of my site. Eventually the main site of BlockGen will heavily benefit both miners and pool operators, but those details are mine to know.

I will check this thread occasionally and try to answer some questions, however please refer to my site.

I have added another simple guide, showing you how to utilize CloudFlare and have it point at your pool.
