I have access to several machines - with various GFX cards , and was wanting to start my own pool, or at least have a easy way for me to organise my efforts into one point of contact. IYSWIM.
what is the best way of consolidating my machines to one central hub then out to a mining pool [2nd step]
|
In the Beginning there was CPU , then GPU , then FPGA then ASIC, what next I hear to ask ....

Even in the event that an attacker gains more than 50% of the network's
computational power, only transactions sent by the attacker could be
reversed or double-spent. The network would not be destroyed.

Just signup for deepbit, slush's or whatever pool you want, add as many workers you have as pc's, then mine with the pc's using the workers user/pass. Can't get more simpler. |

That does work , however need a lot more micro managing than I wanted  if I want to swap pool I have to do a lot of editing [well not a lot but ...meh] can I run my own pool locally and connect that or is that not really sensible? |

In order from easiest to hardest:
1) Join an existing pool.
2) Run a single bitcoind and have each miner connect to it.
3) Run the flexible mining proxy and join many pools.
4) Run your own pool.
Option 3 is ideal for most people. The best balance between resilience and effort.

Search, and ye shall find. http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=9945.0You need to edit (or more likely create) a bitcoin.conf file to set a username and password that your node will allow to connect. It goes in %APPDATA%\bitcoin\ (on XP, this is C:\Documents and Settings\YOUR USERNAME HERE\Application Data\bitcoin\ ). server=1
rpcuser=USERNAME
rpcpassword=PASSWORD
rpcallowip=*
rpcport=8332
That should get you started. If you aren't behind a NAT box on private IPs, change rpcallow to the one IP that you are connecting from, or the subnet. You then use that info as the parameters to your miners, either as discrete arguments, or by packing them into a URL. Details will vary by miner. |

You could use the flexible mining proxy from the forum. Provided you have access to a webserver with mysql and php capabilities. You can point all your miners from various locations to the proxy and anytime you want to change the pool you just enter a new pool in your proxy website

I personally just point all my workers at whatever pool I happen to be with at the time - I manage them all remotely using logmein.
If you can possibly get the flex proxy set up, do it. It'll change your life. Even more so if we have another bad weekend like the last one. |

I'm looking at the flex proxy now as I thin that would be perfect for my needs

I really don't recommend that, too much work for this. |

maybe, maybe not. In Fact i want to setup a pool for several people. Perhaps I decide this to be to much work, but i will try at least. It would surely be also a nice opportunity to learn s.th. about the network.

you may also want to list the gpus that you have access to also, then we could tell you if it's even worth it, if they're Nvidea gpus it may not be worth it, even top of the line Nvidea cards get stomped by mid level ATI cards...

First off, be positive in this forum. Secondly, learn to spell. Thirdly, don't go acting like you know everything. |

St the moment there aren't so much GPUs which would be used. (ah 5870, a 4870 and a GTX 570), But i know several people who would like to anticipate. So i thought of my own pool. If i see the effort is too big. I drop it. But at least I want to try.

The basic software is called pushpool. Setting it up currently is a chore. |

You might want to use http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=5506, it's a flexible mining pool proxy that switches to another pool should the first one become unavailable. You can also put it in front of your own bitcoin client  |
