Description

This is a Stratum Proxy for Zcash using JSON-RPC.

Originally developed by the Cryptense team.

Working with Dwarfpool and Nanopool. Also tried on Miningspeed on Zclassic / BitcoinZ / ZenCash coins. Some issues with flypool, better not use with this pool.

Successfully tested with EWBF's Zcash CUDA miner. 0.3.4b and dstm's ZCash Nvidia Miner v0.5 (Linux) with several GPUs Rigs.

WARNING This work is still in development. Please report any broken features or issues.

Features

Additional up to 10-20% increase of earning compared to standard pools
Zcash stratum proxy
Pool failover system
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
Bypasse worker_id for detailed statistic and per rig monitoring - not supported on flypool yet / working on nanopool
PM2 support
SSL / TCP protocols support

How it Works

  Pool A < ---+                         +------------- > Rig 1 / Worker 1
 (Active)     |                         |
              |                         +------------- > Rig 2 / Worker 2
              |                         |
  Pool B < ---+--- > StratumProxy < ----+------------- > Rig 3 / Worker 3
(FailOver)                              |
                                        +------------- > Rig 4 / Worker 4

Todo

Logfile setup
ASCII UI
Watchdog system (alive / gpu failure)
Hashrate computation

Installation and Start

git clone https://github.com/BScrk/zecproxy.git
cd zec_stratum
npm install
npm start

The proxy will automatically listen on port 8000 for miners.

Configuration

all configs in file config.json to change settings.

{
  "wallet": "<Your wallet>",
  "password" : "<Pool password or just 'x'>",
  "port": <Proxy port>,
  "proxy_name" : "<Proxy default name>" (shown on the pool if enable_worker_id set to false),
  "enable_worker_id": true|false (send worker name to the pool or not), 
  "pool" : { "host" : "<HOST>"  , "port" : <PORT>, "ssl" : true|false },
  "pool_failover_enabled": true|false,
  "pool_failover" : [  { "host" : "<HOST>"  , "port" : <PORT>, "ssl" : true|false },
                       { "host" : "<HOST>"  , "port" : <PORT>, "ssl" : true|false },
                       { "host" : "<HOST>"  , "port" : <PORT>, "ssl" : true|false }],
  "restart_delay": <delay before restarting the proxy on error>,
  "on_rejected_share": {
                      "strategy" : "<On Rejected Share strategy>" (continue / kill / restart),
                      "threshold" : <number of rejected shares before applying strategy>
                    },
  "debug" : true|false
}

On Rejected Share strategies :

continue : ignore and continue
restart : Restart the proxy (without pm2)
kill : Kill the process (hard restart using pm2)

Miners command line

EWBF's Zcash CUDA miner

./miner --server <PROXY_ADDRSS> --user <RIG_NAME> --pass --port <PROXY_PORT>

exemple : ./miner --server 192.168.0.10 --user miner_1 --pass "x" --port 8000 --solver 0

dstm's ZCASH Cuda Miner

./miner --server <PROXY_ADDRSS> --user <RIG_NAME> --pass --port <PROXY_PORT>

exemple : ./miner --server $192.168.0.10 --port 8000 --user miner_1 --pass "x"

Docker

The project is now dockerized for more convenience :)

Official container ...

Find the official image on the Docker Hub bscrk/zecproxy :
