Effective Mining with Barrenero

[PeRDy]

Hello !

I want to share with you the project I've been working on during last months: Barrenero.

Context
Just when I began to mining cryptocurrencies I tried to build something to improve robustness in mining, providing a real-time data and status checkers for my miners.
After this, I found that current miner software is in a continuous evolution, so I'd need a proper method for updating my miners, easy and stable.
Due to I'm mining with some mates, I chose Telegram as our communication channel, so I use it to also interact with our miners, and share the status, information and so on.

What is Barrenero?
This projects aims to create a platform to develop and use cryptocurrency miners such as Ether, Storj... The main goal is to provide a flexible and robust set of services and tools for effective mining cryptocurrencies and performs real time checks over these miners.
Code repository can be found in https://github.com/PeRDy/barrenero.
The full documentation, including installation and use instructions, can be found in http://barrenero.readthedocs.io.

Barrenero consists of following services:

• Miner: Tools and scripts for mining cryptocurrencies, defining a self-contained image for each type of miner. Code can be found in https://github.com/PeRDy/barrenero-miner.
• API: REST API for interacting with Barrenero, providing methods for querying miners status, restart miners, how is your miner working in a pool, wallet balance and transactions. Code can be found in https://github.com/PeRDy/barrenero-api.
• Telegram: Telegram bot for Barrenero that serves information and provides interactive methods through Barrenero API. Alerting when a new transaction is completed in your wallet, when a miner stops working and so on. Code can be found in https://github.com/PeRDy/barrenero-telegram.

To Do

• Create miners for other currencies, like Monero or ZCash.
• Create public docker containers for services.
• Add a service for sending metrics to Grafana.
• Add a service for sending logs to Kibana.
