[Mining Proxy] Ultimate Proxy V2

[Major Miner]

Hello everyone ! After a lot of work i'm glad to present you the last version of Ultimate Proxy.

Ultimate Proxy is a multi platform (Linux/Windows) mining proxy that can help you in some ways listed below.
It will act as one big miner, subscribing for jobs once and broadcasting them to connected workers.

It is in active development and I will do my best to make it better over time, the v1 was pluggable to a free online dashboard, but this feature is not yet implemented in the v2, I'm thinking about the best way of doing it and will probably be back if the community show interest for it.

I rewrited a lot of things recently so if you find any bug please let me know, here, or open an issue on Github.

I love this project and I hope you will too, either way, let me know your thoughts, leave a comment, I will be very glad to read them!

Features:

• Huge bandwidth usage reduction
• Smart switch (Profit, Reward, Difficulty, TimeToBlock) [Thanks to Minerstat for providing such an awesome API for free]
• End-to-end encryption
• Pool mining
• Solo mining directly to node (Only ETH/ETC for now)
• Switch between pools and/or node without restarting miners
• Switch between wallets without restarting miners
• Keep track of your workers uptime
• Keep track of your workers reconnection
• Get total and per pool accepted/rejected shares
• Get average and per pool calculated hashrate
• Get average and per pool response time
• Unlimited number of failover pools

Supported coins:

• Autolykos: ERG
• Equihash125: FLUX
• Equihash144: BTCZ, BTG
• Equihash192: YEC, ZCL, ZER
• Equihash: ARR, HUSH, KMD, ZEC, ZEN
• Etchash: ETC
• Ethash: BTN, CAU, CLO, ETHW, EXP, OCTA, QKC, UBQ
• Firopow: FIRO
• Kawpow: CLORE, RVN, MEWC, NEOX
• kHeavyHash: KAS
• Nexapow: NEXA
• Octopus: CFX
• Scrypt: LTC, DOGE, DGB
• Sha512256d: RXD
• Sha256: BTC, BCH, BSV, DGB, XEC
• VerusHash: VRSC

Some users find it useful for:

• Mining on unMineable and switch between coins
• Mining on pools most of the time and try their luck on solo the rest of the time
• Mining on different wallets for charging hosting fee
• Mining on different wallets for splitting rewards in case of sharing rig/farm
• Control workers using different OS at a single place

Usage:

1. Download Ultimate Proxy
2. Edit config.json according to your needs (Please use a high difficulty port)
3. Either double click on the .exe file, or in your terminal use one of the following command:

Load the default config (config.json if found, or switch-config.json if found, else create config.json)

Code:

chmod +x            # Linux, you may need to do that once to give it permision to run
./UltimateProxyV2   # Linux
UltimateProxyV2.exe # Windows

Load specified config file name (Eitheir a coin config file or a switch-config.json file)

Code:

./UltimateProxyV2 ConfigName.json   # Linux
UltimateProxyV2.exe ConfigName.json # Windows

4. Now instead of pointing you workers to the pool address, change it to your proxy IP
5 - Enjoy

Your virus total links show malware trojan.  Probably should get that cleaned up.  Virus total needs to be 0 hits.  Your own links shows 2 then 1.

Hey, thank you for your input. 
I would obviously like virustotal to show 0 detection, but it is only false positives due to the fact that I obfuscated my code to prevent or make it a little bit harder to reverse engineer it. I worked on it full time for a pretty long period, so I think this can be understable. Anyway even without obfuscation some antivirus marked the v1 version as virus as it was communicating with my backend for online dashboard, so yes I can see why it is a problem, but I think it would be hard to make it 0 hits. 
As for the fact that on some scans antivirus mark it as virus and on some other scans will mark it as safe, I don't know why, but it is weird indeed.

Looks like bitcoin is not a supported coin?

Hey
Not atm because I don’t have any bitcoin miner, and I like to test everything before publishing a new version, even if I find protocols specifications.
But maybe I can add it when I find some time if you are willing to try it before I release it

I am interested in the further development of this.

Possibility of a chat soon?

I have tested it last night/thismorning ...

Went to bed - and woke to find that only the HashRate of ONE of the Three test Systems (Z15Pro) was showing up on 2Miners, and the average on the Pool was only bout 240KS instead of the approx 2.4MS it should have been. Not only that, but the 'Name' that shows up on 2Miners is '0' - Literally just the Number Zero!

I am not new to these things so either I have setup the Config incorrectly (which seems pretty easy - but possibly incorrect), or the Proxy is finding it difficult to connect all Three of these Miners.

The Z15Pro DOES have issues connecting to certain Pools - like NiceHash for example - but 2Miners on the ZEC Pool connects directly without issue. The Z15Pro hss issues connecting to the ZEN Pool currently.

We can discuss this at length if You prefer - and will add the Discord Server - or You can contact Me on Ours though the best way to get hold of Me is through Skype.

Thanks!

Oh, that’s unfortunate, I hate to know that it doesn’t work for someone. I will do my best to figure this out.

I must say I’m not familiar with ASICS as I don’t have any, but I really want to add support for them and handle all edge cases. A kind user pointed some hashrate to my server so I could add Sha256, maybe we could do the same if you are willing to, this way I would be able to figure out the problem more easily (I can obviously set your address in the config so it mine for you while I debug it).

The 0 worker name is the default one on 2miners I think, did you set the proxy worker name ?

Does the two missing from 2miners where still hashing and still connected to the proxy ?

Thank you very much for taking time to report this issue(s) and providing more information about Nicehash and ZEN problems, I really appreciate it.

I would indeed prefer to discuss further about it on Discord.

I am trying to use the proxy but I get an error in red saying hex2bin error and also on ccminer when mining Verus, any idea?
