keva-stratum

High performance CryptoNote mining stratum with Web-interface written in Golang. This project is forked from monero-stratum, with the support for Kevacoin and simpler build process. It includes the part of Monero source code required for the project and does not need an external Monero source tree. It also builds on Windows through MSYS2.

Stratum feature list:

• Be your own pool
• Rigs availability monitoring
• Keep track of accepts, rejects, blocks stats
• Easy detection of sick rigs
• Daemon failover list
• Concurrent shares processing
• Beautiful Web-interface

Installation

Dependencies:

• go-1.6
• Everything required to build Monero or Kevacoin. Follow their build instructions to install the dependencies for your system.

Linux

Use Ubuntu 16.04 LTS or 18.04 LTS, or Ubuntu on Windows Linux Subsystem(WLS).

Install Golang and required packages:

sudo apt-get install golang

Clone stratum:

git clone https://github.com/kevacoin-project/keva-stratum.git
cd keva-stratum

Build stratum:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make

Run stratum:

./keva-stratum config.json

If you need to bind to privileged ports and don't want to run from root:

sudo apt-get install libcap2-bin
sudo setcap 'cap_net_bind_service=+ep' /path/to/keva-stratum

Mac OS X

Install Golang and required packages:

brew update && brew install go

Clone stratum:

git clone https://github.com/kevacoin-project/keva-stratum.git
cd keva-stratum

Build stratum:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make

Run stratum:

./keva-stratum config.json

If you need to bind to privileged ports and don't want to run from root:

sudo apt-get install libcap2-bin
sudo setcap 'cap_net_bind_service=+ep' /path/to/keva-stratum

Windows

If you are using Windows Linux Sytem (WLS), check the instruction under Linux.

Just like Monero, keva-stratum can be built on Windows using the MinGW toolchain within MSYS2 environment.

• Download and install the MSYS2 installer, either the 64-bit or the 32-bit package, depending on your system.

• Open the MSYS shell via the application mingw32 (for 32-bit Windows) or mingw64 (for 64-bit windows).

• Update packages using pacman:

    pacman -Syu
  

• Install dependencies:

  To build for 64-bit Windows:

  pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-toolchain make mingw-w64-x86_64-cmake mingw-w64-x86_64-boost mingw-w64-x86_64-openssl mingw-w64-x86_64-zeromq mingw-w64-x86_64-libsodium mingw-w64-x86_64-hidapi
  

  To build for 32-bit Windows:

  pacman -S mingw-w64-i686-toolchain make mingw-w64-i686-cmake mingw-w64-i686-boost mingw-w64-i686-openssl mingw-w64-i686-zeromq mingw-w64-i686-libsodium mingw-w64-i686-hidapi
  

  Install Golang:

  pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-go
  

Clone stratum:

git clone https://github.com/kevacoin-project/keva-stratum.git
cd keva-stratum

Build stratum:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake -G "MSYS Makefiles" ..

IMPORTANT: STOP AND CHECK

Check the output of cmake and make sure it finds the OpenSSL library, and the library is inside your MSYS2 directory. e.g. the output should be something like this:

-- Found OpenSSL: C:/msys64/mingw64/lib/libcrypto.dll.a (found version "1.1.1b")

If the OpenSSL is not inside your MSYS2 directory, cmake is not using the correct OpenSSL library. e.g.

-- Found OpenSSL: C:/OpenSSL-Win64/lib/libeay32.lib (found version "1.0.2q")

In the above case, you need to adjust the search path so that cmake uses the correct library.

Now we are ready to build:

make

Run stratum:

keva-stratum.exe config.json

Configuration (config.json)

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

The upstream is used to point to the Kevacoin daemon kevacoind. The user and password under upstream are mandatory, and they must be the same as the ones specified in Kevacoin configuration file kevacoin.conf. You must use anything.WorkerID as username in your miner. Either disable address validation or use <address>.WorkerID as username. If there is no workerID specified your rig stats will be merged under 0 worker. If mining software contains dev fee rounds its stats will usually appear under 0 worker. This stratum acts like your own pool, the only exception is that you will get rewarded only after block found, shares only used for stats.
