Should work just fine at digital ocean. Vultr is literally almost exactly the same as digital ocean (vps provider), they are just a newer company and offer more free credits to attract customers which is why I used them for the guide. The Vultr VPS performed flawlessly. Digital Ocean has good performance as well.

I can't guarantee the static ip setup on the hardening/security guide will be the same but everything else should be the same in the guide if you use digital ocean.

If the landlord sees the power bill spike right after you move in it will raise suspicion. Most places that have included utilities do have a clause in the lease that state they are for normal day to day activities or something similar (if they had a decent lawyer setup the lease) and obviously bitcoin is not a normal business function/day to day thing.

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.

Your Welcome, and thank you for the compliment.

Your Welcome.


A lot of the miners I have met that are setting up their own pools are doing so because they have a lot of mining rigs, or they want a private pool with them and their friends and a multitude of other reasons. Some even just like having the user interface for their single solo mining rig, so they can see all there stats in one simple area. Also, there is currencies out there with a low network hashrate, or no pool to support them.

Can we get an updated node list?

I am adding them to my .conf and I found some from the original thread:

addnode=23.23.186.131
addnode=50.16.206.102
addnode=50.19.116.123
addnode=98.165.130.67
addnode=54.242.50.205
addnode=50.17.98.53
addnode=54.225.43.37

However, seems like only 4 of them work now. Any sort of node list out there?

The type of people that break into houses while the homeowners are still there, are more worried about big screen TV's and prescription pills. These are not intelligent people, mainly the type that do crack/meth on a regular basis and have been in and out of jail their whole life. I do not think they care about bitcoin or even know what it is.

Pools should not have staking enabled, since it will cause payout issues.

Can you please inform us of the nodes and such so we can pre-stage our .conf files.

We are here for launch! Waiting on the source.

Come and Mine!
