  • ngxrest - nginx module for REST api, fastcgi analogue
Install dependencies

sudo apt-get install cmake libssl-dev libsodium-dev libpcre3-dev libleveldb-dev libboost-all-dev libgmp-dev libprotobuf-dev protobuf-compiler libjansson-dev

Setup ZCash daemon

You can find setup instructions on ZCash github page: https://github.com/zcash/zcash/wiki/1.0-User-Guide

After building by command ./zcutil/build.sh you must apply pool integration patch:

patch -p0 < pool.diff

Add path to pool libraries in Makefile:

Build ZCash daemon again:

make -j5

Launch command is src/zcashd -p2pport=12201. Port 12201 is used by internal pool protocol. Also, you can use poolrpccmd utility for interact with daemon by command line.

Setup pool configuration file
pool_frontend_zcash {
  isMaster = "true";
  poolFee = "1";
  poolFeeAddr = "t1ZsLopJKzyuaqmeC2Y6cx1351G13st2sWN";
  walletAddrs = ["p2p://127.0.0.1:12201"];
  localAddress = "p2p://127.0.0.1:13301";
  walletAppName = "pool_rpc";
  poolAppName = "pool_frontend_zcash";
  requiredConfirmations = "10";
  defaultMinimalPayout = "0.01";
  dbPath = "/home/xpm/pool.zcash";
  keepRoundTime = "3";
  keepStatsTime = "2";
  confirmationsCheckInterval = "7";
  payoutInterval = "30";
  balanceCheckInterval = "3";
  statisticCheckInterval = "1";

  zmqclientHost = "coinsforall.io";
  zmqclientListenPort = "6668";
  zmqclientWorkPort = "60200";

  pool_zaddr = "zcWDMjkEyRPQAFjs5RWEzoqXG9BipLRWr4S9bC4A44g7eBv6ZhnqrWWc5M5MyNn4pt9vP2PEvK9NkUwerQbewEcEWz8ZL4f";
  pool_taddr = "t1ZRsyK4pkBq7WD4gnF8r3nCYSQT19Zhh3C";
}

  • isMaster - alltimes "true", slave mode for distribute share calculating not implemented

  • poolFee - pool fee in percents

  • poolFeeAddr - address for pool fee

  • walletAddrs - list of zcash daemons in pool cluster. Now tested only with one daemon. Port 12201 must be taken from -p2pport command line argument of zcash daemon (see 4).

  • localAddress - backend address and port. Used by poolrestapi module and poolrpccmd utility

  • walletAppName - alltimer "pool_rpc"

  • poolAppName - alltimes "pool_frontend_zcash"

  • requiredConfirmations - minimal confirmations for block before payout (pool can't make payout for orphans)

  • defaultMinimalPayout - default minimal payout for new accounts

  • dbPath - path for pool database, must be exists

  • keepRoundTime - how much days pool keep shares

  • keepStatsTime - statistic (performance, number of GPUs, temperatures) keep time in minutes

  • confirmationsCheckInterval - interval for check new mined blocks confirmations number

  • payoutInterval - payout interval in minutes

  • balanceCheckInterval - balance check interval in minutes

  • statisticCheckInterval - statistic check interval in minutes (should be 1)

  • zmqclientHost - native zeromq protocol host name

  • zmqclientListenPort - navite protocol port

  • zmqclientWorkPort - extra port for native protocol (pool uses port N and N+1)

  • pool_zaddr - only for ZCash, pool Z-Address for receive coinbase funds. Must be created by zcash-cli z_getnewaddress

  • pool_taddr - only for ZCash, address used for make payouts. Must be created by zcash-cli getnewaddress

Setup poolrestapi module
poolrestapi {
  listenAddress = "cxxrestapi://127.0.0.1:19999";
  coins = ["xpm", "zcash"];
}

xpm {
  frontends = ["p2p://127.0.0.1:13300"];
  poolAppName = "pool_frontend_xpm";
}

zcash {
  frontends = ["p2p://127.0.0.1:13301"];
  poolAppName = "pool_frontend_zcash";
}

  • listenAddress - address and port for poolrestapi. Used by nginx module for fast interaction (like fastcgi).

  • coins - coin list. Name used as URL part for HTTP REST queries.

  • frontends - pool frontend addresses, must be taken from 'localAddress' of pool frontend configuration file

  • poolAppName - must be taken from 'poolAppName' of pool frontend configuration file

Setup nginx

This is fragment of nginx.conf file:

    upstream api_backend {
        server     127.0.0.1:19999;
        keepalive  32;
    }

    server {
        listen       *:80 reuseport;
        server_name  pool;

        location / {
            root   html;
            index  index.html index.htm;
            expires 5s;
        }

        location /api {
            cxxrest_pass api_backend;
        }

        location ~* ^.+\.(jpg|jpeg|gif|png|ico)$ {
          expires 3d; # 3 days
        }
    }

  • upstream api_backend:

  • server - poolrestapi address, must be taken from poolrestapi configuration file (see p.6)

  • server/location /api:

  • cxxrest_pass - module name and link to upstream api_backend

Full nginx configuration file example you can find in poolrestapi repository

Launch ZCash daemon
src/zcashd -p2pport=12201

After launching you can test it with poolrpccmd utility (from poolcore repository)

cd YOUR_BUILD_DIRECTORY/poolcore/x8664-Linux
poolrpccmd/poolrpccmd p2p://127.0.0.1:12201 getInfo

 * coin: ZEC

poolrpccmd/poolrpccmd p2p://127.0.0.1:12201 getBlockTemplate

Launch pool
cd YOUR_BUILD_DIRECTORY/pool_frontend_zcash/x86_64-Linux
./pool_frontend_zcash ~/.poolcfg/zcash.cfg

~/.poolcfg/zcash.cfg - pool configuration file (see p. 4)

Launch poolrestapi and nginx
cd YOUR_BUILD_DIRECTORY/poolrestapi/x86_64-Linux
./poolrestapi ~/.poolcfg/poolrestapi.cfg
Copy web client part and launch nginx
cd YOUR_BUILD_DIRECTORY/pooljs/coins-for-all/webapp
cp -r * NGINX_INSTALL_DIRECTORY/html
sudo NGINX_INSTALL_DIRECTORY/sbin/nginx (you need sudo because port 80 is used)

  • Show shares per worker over last 1 hour
  • Fix multiple workers under same name not summing hash rate
  • Fix difficulty api call
  • Add zec price api
