ok, I got it working. does anyone know how I can tell who is connected to my pool?
Wait, are you trying to create a mining pool, or have clients connect to your bitcoin server?
Because as far as I know, they are two different things.
A bitcoin pool gives out "shares" of 1 difficulty each. A bitcoin server just doles out work at the current difficulty.
I think you need some sort of external proxy for the clients to connect to if you want to see who is connecting to your bitcoin server. I dont know of such a program.
