Post by: pindis on May 18, 2011, 12:24:24 PM
Hi guys.

In order to have a mining pool server, what's required?

Connection: ?
Hardware: ?
Software: ?

I must say I have tried a little to search, but didn't really find anything useful.

You'd need a pretty good network connection as everyone would be downloading and uploading things constantly, a good cpu and a bit of ram (i7&4gigs) should be enough for a pretty good pool, and then you could just throw linux on it and run pushpool.

Linux wont be a problem, already got it. got a i5(quad) overclocked to 3.6 with 6gb ram. internetconnection will be worse.. 20/2 :) so I guess I'll leave it up to somebody else! :) Will donate you when I come home :)

No I'm not trolling, all the anwers are in the last few pages of this very forum. It's going to take a fair bit of time, effort and some money to setup a pool. Yet you expect others to pull all that information together to save you 30 minutes to a few hours of research for your benefit?
