MicroCoin mining pool

This is a complete pool engine for the MicroCoin (MCC) ecosystem. This is a work in progess hobby project. Use it at your own risk. I don't take any responsibility for any loss. The frontend is not ready yet. Use it on Linux based systems, Windows wallet communication is slow, you won't be happy with that. Tested on Ubuntu 18.04.

Features

• supports 2 mining difficulties (can be extended):
  • difficulty 1 on port 3333 for GPUs
  • difficulty 32 on port 3334 for ASICs
• supports Pascal hashing algo
• payout at every block
• easy to install

  Get started

  Detailed tutorial will be available soon. Main steps:

• download MCC daemon 1.3.6. and sync blockchain, then stop it
• download MCC daemon 1.0.3.2 and start in the background

• download and start pool

  • download MicroCoin daemon 1.3.6.: https://github.com/MicroCoinHU/MicroCoin-Daemon/releases/download/v1.3.6/MicroCoinD-linux.zip
  • unpack
  • set executable permission
  • run
  • wait for daemon sync, it can take hours

    mkdir mccd_136
    cd mccd_136
    wget https://github.com/MicroCoinHU/MicroCoin-Daemon/releases/download/v1.3.6/MicroCoinD-linux.zip
    unzip MicroCoinD-linux.zip
    chmod +x MicroCoinD
    ./MicroCoinD

  • download MicroCoin daemon 1.0.3.2.: https://github.com/MicroCoinHU/MicroCoin-Daemon/releases/tag/v1.0.3.2 Later versions have a bug in sending payments. Will be fixed soon.
  • unpack
  • set executable permission
  • run

cd ..
mkdir mccd_1032
cd mccd_1032
wget https://github.com/MicroCoinHU/microcoind/files/2408030/x86_x64-linux-openssl-1.0.tar.gz
tar -xf x86_x64-linux-openssl-1.0.tar.gz
chmod +x microcoind
nohup ./microcoind -r &

• open mining ports 3333 and 3334
• clone the pool repo
• set parameters in config.txt. For default settings set only the first 2 parameters:
  • pool_fee: your pool fee in percentage
  • pool_account: the account where your pool fee will be sent to
• run the pool

  sudo ufw allow 3333
  sudo ufw allow 3334
  git clone https://github.com/tamasvegera/protopool
  cd protopool
  vim config.txt
  nohup python3 ./_main.py &
