Mining/Pool-Creation
The mining pool software is super basic.
It is missing very important features:
- reporting to shackleton for stats
- reasonable rate reporting for workers or total
However, to run it:
Pool Server
bazel build :all bazel-bin/MrPlow plow.conf
plow.conf needs:
node_host= (node to connect to) pool_address= (address to pay pool fee) pay_the_duck=0.00 (Percentage to pay to fireduck out of each block. Completely optional). pool_fee=0.01 (percentage to pay the pool address out of each block. Note: 0.01 = 1%) db_type=rocksdb db_path=plowdb (this must be different from the node db location) rpc_port=12221 (optional)
You can set the pool_fee really low, but it can't be zero due to needing somewhere to allocate the block reward before there are any shares.
RPC
If an rpc_port is specified, then MrPlow supports RPC commands.
Mining Client
Miners need to run bazel-bin/PoolMiner. Same config as miner. It will default to port 23380, which is where the pool server runs.
