A gevent based Stratum mining pool server.
- Lightweight, asynchronous, gevent based internals.
- Built in HTTP statistics/monitoring server.
- Flexible statistics collection engine.
- Multiple coinserver (RPC server) support for redundancy. Support for coinserver prioritization.
- Celery driven share logging allows multiple servers to log shares and statistics to a central source for easy scaling out.
- SHA256, X11, scrypt, and scrypt-n support
- Support for merge mining multiple auxilury (merge mined) blockchains
- Modular architecture makes customization simple(r)
Uses Celery to log shares and statistics for miners. Work generation and (bit|lite|alt)coin data structure serialization is performed by Cryptokit and connects to bitcoind using GBT for work generation (or getauxblock for merged work). Currently only Python 2.7 is supported.
Built to power the SimpleDoge mining pool.

The only external service PowerPool relies on in is its Celery broker. By default this will be RabbitMQ on a local connection, so simply having it installed will work fine.
sudo apt-get install rabbitmq-serverSetup a virtualenv and install...
mkvirtualenv pp # if you've got virtualenvwrapper...
# Install all of powerpools dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt
# Install powerpool
pip install -e .
# Install the hashing algorithm modules
pip install vtc_scrypt # for scryptn support
pip install drk_hash # for x11 support
pip install ltc_scrypt # for scrypt support
pip install git+https://github.com/BlueDragon747/Blakecoin_Python_POW_Module.git@e3fb2a5d4ea5486f52f9568ffda132bb69ed8772#egg=blake_hashNow copy config.yml.example to config.yml. All the defaults are
commented out and mandatory fields are uncommented. Fill out all required fields
and you should be good to go for testing.
pp config.ymlAnd now your stratum server is running. Point a miner at it on
localhost:3333 (or more specifically, stratum+tcp://localhost:3333 and
do some mining. View server health on the monitor port at
http://localhost:3855. Various events will be getting logged into RabbitMQ
to be picked up by a celery worker. See Simple Coin for a reference implementation
of Celery task handler.
Reporter The reporter is responsible for transmitting shares, mining statistics, and new blocks to some external storage. The reference implementation is the CeleryReporter which aggregates shares into batches and logs them in a way designed to interface with SimpleCoin. The reporter is also responsible for tracking share rates for vardiff. This makes sense if you want vardiff to be based off the shares per second of an entire address, instead of a single connection.
Jobmanager This module generates mining jobs and sends them to workers. It must provide current jobs for the stratum server to be able to push. The reference implementation monitors an RPC daemon server.
Server This is a singleton class that holds statistics and references to all other modules. All components get access to this object, which is largely concerned with handling startup and shutdown, along with statistics rotation.
Stratum Manager Handles spawning one or many stratum servers (which bind to a single port each), as well as spawning corresponding agent servers as well. It holds data structures that allow lookup of all StratumClient objects.
Stratum Server A server that listens to a single port and accepts new stratum clients.
Agent Server A server that listens to a single port and accepts new ppagent connections.
