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 provided by linking with Monero libraries
• Integrated NewRelic performance monitoring plugin

Installation

Dependencies:

• go-1.6
• Everything required to build monero
• Monero v0.10.0

Mac OS X

Install required packages:

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

Download and compile Monero v0.9.4.

Now clone stratum repo and compile it:

git clone https://github.com/sammy007/go-cryptonote-pool.git
cmake .
make

Notice that for share validation stratum requires monero source tree where .a libs already compiled. By default stratum will use ../monero directory. You can override this behavior by passing MONERO_DIR env variable:

MONERO_DIR=/path/to/monero cmake .
make

Build stratum:

go build -o pool main.go

Linux

I would recommend you to use Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.

Install required packages:

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

In order to successfully link with monero libs, recompile monero with:

cmake .
CXXFLAGS="-fPIC" CFLAGS="-fPIC" make

Build CGO extensions:

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.

Private Pool Guidelines

For personal private pool you can use DigitalOcean 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.
