Spectre Stratum Adapter

This is a lightweight daemon that allows mining to a local (or remote) spectre node using stratum-base miners. It is up to the community to build a stratum based miner, the original built-in miner is using gRPC interface.

Features

Shares-based work allocation with miner-like periodic stat output:

===============================================================================
  worker name   |  avg hashrate  |   acc/stl/inv  |    blocks    |    uptime
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 ghostface      |       4.17KH/s |          3/0/0 |            0 |      21m17s
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                |       4.17KH/s |          3/0/0 |            0 |      22m31s
======================================================== spr_bridge_v0.3.15 ===

Variable difficulty engine (vardiff)

Multiple miners with significantly different hashrates can be connected to the same stratum bridge instance, and the appropriate difficulty will automatically be decided for each one. Default settings target 15 shares/min, resulting in high confidence decisions regarding difficulty adjustments, and stable measured hashrates (1hr avg hashrates within +/- 10% of actual). The minimum share difficulty is 12 and optimized for CPUs mining SpectreX.

Grafana UI

The grafana monitoring UI is an optional component but included for convenience. It will help to visualize collected statistics.

Prometheus API

If the app is run with the -prom={port} flag the application will host stats on the port specified by {port}, these stats are documented in the file prom.go. This is intended to be use by prometheus but the stats can be fetched and used independently if desired. curl http://localhost:2114/metrics | grep spr_ will get a listing of current stats. All published stats have a spr_ prefix for ease of use.

Install

Build from source (native executable)

Install go 1.19 or later using whatever package manager is approprate for your system, or from https://go.dev/doc/install.

cd cmd/spectrebridge
go build .

Modify the config file in ./cmd/spectrebridge/config.yaml with your setup, the file comments explain the various flags.

./spectrebridge

Docker (all-in-one)

Best option for users who want access to reporting, and aren't already using Grafana/Prometheus. Requires a local copy of this repository, and docker installation.

Install Docker using the appropriate method for your OS. The docker commands below are assuming a server type installation - details may be different for a desktop installation.

The following will run the bridge assuming a local spectred node with default port settings, and listen on port 5555 for incoming stratum connections.

git clone https://github.com/spectre-project/spectre-stratum-bridge.git
cd spectre-stratum-bridge
docker compose -f docker-compose-all-src.yml up -d --build

These settings can be updated in the config.yaml file, or overridden by modifying, adding or deleting the parameters in the command section of the docker-compose-all-src.yml file. Additionally, Prometheus (the stats database) and Grafana (the dashboard) will be started and accessible on ports 9090 and 3000 respectively. Once all services are running, the dashboard should be reachable at http://127.0.0.1:3000/d/z73gHk89e1/sprb-monitoring with default username and password admin.

These commands builds the bridge component from source, rather than the previous behavior of pulling down a pre-built image. You may still use the pre-built image by replacing docker-compose-all-src.yml with docker-compose-all.yml, but it is not guaranteed to be up to date, so compiling from source is the better alternative.

Docker (bridge only)

Best option for users who want docker encapsulation, and don't need reporting, or are already using Grafana/Prometheus. Requires a local copy of this repository, and docker installation.

Install Docker using the appropriate method for your OS. The docker commands below are assuming a server type installation - details may be different for a desktop installation.

The following will run the bridge assuming a local spectred node with default port settings, and listen on port 5555 for incoming stratum connections.

git clone https://github.com/spectre-project/spectre-stratum-bridge.git
cd spectre-stratum-bridge
docker compose -f docker-compose-bridge-src.yml up -d --build

These settings can be updated in the config.yaml file, or overridden by modifying, adding or deleting the parameters in the command section of the docker-compose-bridge-src.yml

These commands builds the bridge component from source, rather than the previous behavior of pulling down a pre-built image. You may still use the pre-built image by issuing the command docker run -p 5555:5555 spectrenetwork/spectre_bridge:latest, but it is not guaranteed to be up to date, so compiling from source is the better alternative.
