[ANN] stratum proxy new generation

[p4u]

It is a pleasure for me to announce the new stratum-mining-proxy (based on Slush work) I have been working on the last months.

Code here https://github.com/p4u/stratum-proxy-ng

Hope you like it. It is still in development and would be nice to have some contributions.

List of changes and new features:

• Remove all GetWork related code (not needed anymore)
• Heavy redesign of the code
• Define a backup pool which is used if there is some problem with the current pool.
• Control thread: new interface to control the proxy via TCP socket and JSON (i.e origin pool can be changed without restarting proxy).
• Watcher thread: informs about current details of the proxy every 10 seconds
• Share notify snippets support added (allows execute custom python code when a share is found)
• Support for new set extranonce stratum method (partial)
• Some other small features and bugfixes
• Add a class diagram to better understand how it works

you want to make it better then may i suggest a good simple GUI. im sick of looking at command screens all the time

[p4u]

Yes, the GUI is in the to-do list, this is why I implemented the control protocol which uses JSON. If some web developer wants to contribute, he is welcome.

However IMO it is more important to have a powerful and flexible software rather than a shitty one with a nice GUI.

I'm developing a new stratum proxy with a different technique. I named it "stratum relay".
