Title: Which is the most-recent/best mining pool-software to use?
Post by: d-angel2001 on February 22, 2018, 04:08:39 PM
I've noticed nomp has a lot of forks. Some of them fix things or missed algo or simply upgraded to more recent nodejs-versions. Can anyone suggest a good and recent version/fork or anything else than nomp?
My wish-pool would be a very small and simple one providing only the stratum/pool functionality, may be a simple example-frontend (like nomp already has) and the rest provided as API to get the data in any custom web-frontend for myself.

The software should be flexible enough to add custom coins and if possible new algos as well (is there any npm library that covers most of them?!). Multi-Pool feature like nomp would be nice to have. But I'm also open to set-up a clone of each pool for themselfes.
I'm also open for any DIY npm-libs that are well documented and explain how to code a simple stratum/pool for myself would be georgeous, too (I'm self employed as developer and someone just "tries to learn from scratch").

I'm happy for any feedback and recommendations.

CK Pool code is used by many pools, It was written by CK the guy behind CG miner.

Have a look at the official topic the source code is available to download free.

Sounds interesting. Is there anywhere a list of supported algos?

Found it myself:
https://gist.github.com/namnm/350d6b7a01dc4eabcacb590b088572cb#ckpool

Code:
Cons:
Natural made for bitcoind. Other coin types are not supported.

Yiimp sounds interesting as it supports a lot of algo and development seems to be still active:

https://github.com/tpruvot/yiimp/tree/next/stratum/algos

Only documentation is ment to be not too good. But as there are a lot of pools existing I think it can't be too difficult at all.

Update: Yiimp seems to have serious security issues?

> Multiple YiiMP pools hacked, this is what I know so far..

What about unomp? This is supposed to be new branch of nomp. I'm seriously considering giving it a try to set up a pool for some new coins. Any security concerns that I should know about?
