Pool Choice for Legal Botnet

[dddbtc]

Would you let a legal botnet connect to your pool?

All miners would be connecting from a single block/range of IP addresses.



If you'd like a boatload of intel i5/i7 computers running minerd.exe to connect to our pool please post below.  I'd prefer altcoins or a profit-switching pool, but essentially I'm looking for a pool where I can connect multiple computers using a wallet address as the username or a pool with a worker configuration system simple enough to easily connect this many computers.

EDIT: You'll make mad fee income from this project and it has the possibility for (legal) expansion in the future.  What can your pool do for my project

You should, IMHO, run slush's stratum proxy inside your lan and point it to a pool, so that the pool just sees a new client and your stratum proxy handles your boatload of CPUs.

edit: you will end up spending in electricity a lot more than the value of the BTCs you'll be able to mine.

Point noted on the stratum-proxy.  And as far as electricity goes, the university gets "free" government electricity and leaves all the lights on in many buildings on all night long, it wasn't approached as a concern when this project was approved.  So I'm not going to factor that in until I am approached about it.  In all honesty, I don't think they'll notice, its likely going to be a drop in the bucket.

They're more excited about the compsci students managing it and the finance kids doing the taxes on what little income it produces.

The only concerns I got were from faculty/administrators were:

Don't DDOS the network
Don't create any kind of mass network security vulnerability

I've already provided the sources of cpuminer, minerd, and minerd-scrypt-jane to a professor for him to pick through the source code.  He understands (for the most part) how cryptocurrencies function.

stratum_proxy without a doubt.  I ran it for a while with 40 CPU miners doing LTC mining.  Worked perfectly.  It needs very little to run - I ran it on a Pentium D machine with 1GB RAM and Windows XP (old Dell GX620).

Well, it's just a p2pool, but if you wanted to give it a run I've got a quarkcoin pool set up at nogleg.com:8372.  Shouldn't be a problem unless it's over 300 or 400 connections (I've already had 400 on there at once).. the fee is 0%, though the last time I had the hundreds of connections, I raised it to 1%.   it uses a modified minerd with the algo=quark option (this - github.com/uncle-bob/quarkcoin-cpuminer)

i've also got a xeon 1240v3 in dallas and an e5-1650 in phoenix that could be set up for something possibly

(ed: oh, the log is also symlinked & viewable at nogleg.com/quark.log, cleaned fairly regularly... ed2: and i have quarkcoind configured to require a 0.0001 transaction fee, so it misses most of em, which are 0)
