Pool server software

[tvasconcelos]

Hi, been having this idea of having a "green" pool. Low power private pool. Been experimenting with a Raspberry Pi and been able to mine with ecoinpool. I don't have too much hashing power, but i've noticed that with this hardware, ecoinpool seems to handle the load much better than pushpool, but still i get some rejects. Not too many as the majority are submited shares right after pool "switches" block. I might get a second RPi and share the load between the two. Litecoind and webserver on one and pool on the other. But for now it's working...

My doubt is, what pool backend has the lowest footprint, or demand on the hardware? My problem with ecoinpool is that couchdb grows enormously and way too fast, for the disk space i have available, and i don't have the knowledge to reduce, or make something with it. And it's not maintained for a while now.

I've only tried pushpool and ecoinpool. It's the one's with a somewhat simple installation tutorial. I've tried to setup eloipool, but don't know how to do it, and there's no documentation. Does anyone knows of an easy to follow installation guide for eloipool? Or is kind enough to make one? Or at least give some pointers ?

Basically i'd like to have a pool, a private pool, so that i could point some hashing power that i could have access. But, if i have some friends who want to join in, i'd like to offer them the possibility to point their hardware, possibly just with their address, to my pool, and have payments for them. Only tried simplecoin for the frontend yet. Didn't find any good open source, free frontend. Just a simple, easy, in the way of litecoinpool.org. Nothing flashy, fancy, bling bling, etc...

Well, that's it. If someone can give some pointers with this i'd very much appreciate it.
Please do refrain from pointing me to p2pool, as i've seen in every post where people asking for "how to make a pool" threads!!

Thanks in advance.

Are you using an OS and ecoinpool on the PI or just ecoinpool?

How many GB is your SDcard?

Have you tried any of these other pool servers on the PI https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Poolservers ?

Did you get any help with Eloipool https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=61731.0  on the PI?

If you're running a pool for just yourself, you're wasting your time, you should just be solo mining.  ecoinpool is ancient and outdated, and needs an old version of bitcoin-qt which is a total deal breaker.

Seriously, just run a p2pool node if you want to have friends helping, or use one of the bigger pools that have teaming.  Or assign each friend a worker name on Eligius, with payout address to your wallet - you can then split up the proceeds later.
