This pool is being further developed to provide an easy to use pool for Ethereum miners. This software is functional however an optimised release of the pool is expected soon. Testing and bug submissions are welcome!
- Support for HTTP and Stratum mining
- Detailed block stats with luck percentage and full reward
- Failover geth instances: geth high availability built in
- Modern beautiful Ember.js frontend
- Separate stats for workers: can highlight timed-out workers so miners can perform maintenance of rigs
- JSON-API for stats
Dependencies:
- go >= 1.9
- geth or parity
- redis-server >= 2.8.0
- nodejs >= 4 LTS
- nginx
First of all let's get up to date and install the dependencies:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -y
sudo apt-get install build-essential make git screen curl nginx tcl -y
Install GO:
wget https://storage.googleapis.com/golang/go1.13.5.linux-amd64.tar.gz
tar -xvf go1.13.5.linux-amd64.tar.gz
rm go1.13.5.linux-amd64.tar.gz
sudo mv go /usr/local
export GOROOT=/usr/local/go
export PATH=$GOPATH/bin:$GOROOT/bin:$PATH
sudo nano ~/.profile
#add this in the end and save
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin
source ~/.profile
go version
Clone & compile:
git config --global http.https://gopkg.in.followRedirects true
git clone https://github.com/Exlo84/ether1pool.git
cd ether1pool
make
Installing Redis latest version
curl -O http://download.redis.io/redis-stable.tar.gz
tar xzvf redis-stable.tar.gz
cd redis-stable
make
make test
sudo make install
sudo mkdir /etc/redis
sudo cp ~/redis-stable/redis.conf /etc/redis
sudo nano /etc/redis/redis.conf

Register pool account and open wallet for transaction. This process is always required, when the wallet node is restarted.
personal.newAccount()
personal.unlockAccount(eth.accounts[0],"password",40000000)

cd www
Modify your configuration file
nano ~/ether1pool/www/config/environment.js
Create frontend
cd ~/ether1pool/www/
sudo npm install -g ember-cli@^2.18.2
sudo npm install -g bower
sudo chown -R $USER:$GROUP ~/.npm
sudo chown -R $USER:$GROUP ~/.config
npm install
bower install
npm i intl-format-cache
./build.sh
Configure nginx to serve API on /api subdirectory.
Configure nginx to serve www/dist as static website.
Edit this
sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/default
Delete everything in the file and replace it with the text below. Be sure to change with your info
upstream api {
server 127.0.0.1:8080;
}
server {
listen 80 default_server;
listen [::]:80 default_server;
root /home/<name>/ether1pool/www/dist;
index index.html index.htm index.nginx-debian.html;
server_name _;
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
}
location /api {
proxy_pass http://api;
}
}
Save and close
Restart nginx
sudo service nginx restart
First, install the Certbot's Nginx package with apt-get
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:certbot/certbot
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install python-certbot-nginx
And then open your nginx setting file, make sure the server name is configured!
$ sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/default
. . .
server_name <your-pool-domain>;
. . .
Change the _ to your pool domain, and now you can obtain your auto-renewaled ssl certificate for free!
$ sudo certbot --nginx -d <your-pool-domain>
Now you can access your pool's frontend via https!
- Unlocking and payouts are sequential, 1st tx go, 2nd waiting for 1st to confirm and so on. You can disable that in code. Carefully read
docs/PAYOUTS.md. - Also, keep in mind that unlocking and payouts will halt in case of backend or node RPC errors. In that case check everything and restart.
- You must restart module if you see errors with the word suspended.
- Don't run payouts and unlocker modules as part of mining node. Create separate configs for both, launch independently and make sure you have a single instance of each module running.
- If
poolFeeAddressis not specified all pool profit will remain on coinbase address. If it specified, make sure to periodically send some dust back required for payments.
