# go-cryptonote-pool

High performance CryptoNote mining stratum written in Golang.

**Stratum feature list:**

* Concurrent shares processing
* AES-NI enabled share validation code with fallback to slow implementation
* Integrated NewRelic performance monitoring plugin

## Installation

Dependencies:

  * go-1.6
  * Everything required to build monero
  * Monero >= **v0.10.0**

### Linux

Use Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.

Compile Monero source (with libraries option):

    cmake -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=1 .
    make

Install Golang and packages:

    sudo apt-get install golang
    export GOPATH=~/go
    go get github.com/yvasiyarov/gorelic

Build CGO extensions:

    MONERO_DIR=/opt/src/monero cmake .
    make

Build stratum:

    go build -o pool main.go

### Mac OS X

Install Golang and packages packages:

    brew update && brew install go
    export GOPATH=~/go
    go get github.com/yvasiyarov/gorelic

Compile Monero source:

    cmake .
    make

Now clone stratum repo and compile it:

    MONERO_DIR=/opt/src/monero cmake .
    make

Build stratum:

    go build -o pool main.go

### Running Stratum

    ./pool config.json

## Configuration

Configuration is self-describing, just copy *config.example.json* to *config.json* and run stratum with path to config file as 1st argument.

```javascript

    // Address to where mined blocks will rain

                "maxConn": 32768
            }
        ]
    },

    // Monero daemon connection options
    "daemon": {
        "host": "127.0.0.1",
        // Monero RPC port, default is 18081
        "port": 18081,
        "timeout": "10s"
    }
}
```

### Private Pool Guidelines

For personal private pool you can use [DigitalOcean](https://www.digitalocean.com/?refcode=2a6767e6285f) droplet. With recent blockchain-db merged into Monero it's ok to run it even on 5 USD plan. You will receive 10 USD free credit there.
