Description

This is Stratum Proxy for Ethereum based pools (RPCv2) using asynchronous networking written in Python Twisted. Originally developed for DwarfPool http://dwarfpool.com/eth

NOTE: This fork is still in development. Some features may be broken. Please report any broken features or issues.

Features

• Additional up to 20% increase of earning compared to standard pools
• ETH stratum proxy
• Automatically failover via proxy
• Only one connection to the pool
• Workers get new jobs immediately
• Submit of shares without network delay, it's like solo-mining but with benefits of professional pool
• Central Wallet configuration, miners doesn't need wallet as username
• Support monitoring via email
• Bypass worker_id for detailed statistic and per rig monitoring
• pass submitHashrate to pool

How it works

   Pool A <---+                        +-------------+ Rig1 / PC1
 (Active)      |                       |
               |                       +-------------+ Rig2 / PC2
               |                       |
  Pool B <---+-----StratumProxy  <-----+-------------+ Rig3 / PC3
(FailOver)                             |
                                       +-------------+ Rig4 / PC4
                                       |
                                       +-------------+ Leaserigs

ToDo

Configuration

• all configs in file eth-proxy.conf

Command line to miner start, recommended farm-recheck to use with stratum-proxy is 200

• ./ethminer --farm-recheck 200 -G -F http://127.0.0.1:8080/rig1

External script to restart proxy (made by rain)

• https://paste.ubuntu.com/15327007/

Proxy working check

• To check that proxy works open in browser http://127.0.0.1:8080/ (or your changed ip and port from config)
• If you see "Ethereum stratum proxy" and some infos about connections.
• If not then mostly case that you have application running on this port, at example Antivirus.

Requirements

eth-proxy is built in python. I have been testing it with 2.7.3, but it should work with other versions. The requirements for running the software are below.

• Python 2.7+
• python-twisted

Installation and start

• [Linux] 1) install twisted

  apt-get install python-twisted

2) start proxy with

 python ./eth-proxy.py

• [Windows] Download compiled version https://github.com/Atrides/eth-proxy/releases

Or use python source code

1) Download Python Version 2.7.10 for Windows https://www.python.org/downloads/

2) Modify PATH variable (how-to http://www.java.com/en/download/help/path.xml) and add C:\Python27;C:\Python27\Scripts;

3) Install python setuptools https://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools/#windows-7-or-graphical-install

4) Install Python-Twisted https://pypi.python.org/pypi/Twisted/15.4.0 File Twisted-15.4.0.win32-py2.7.msi (32bit) or Twisted-15.4.0.win-amd64-py2.7.msi (64bit)

5) Install zope.interface, in console run:

   easy_install -U zope.interface

6) Install PyWin32 v2.7 pywin32-219.win32-py2.7.exe or pywin32-219.win-amd64-py2.7.exe http://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/files/pywin32/
