This pool is being further developed to provide an easy to use pool for Ethereum Classic miners. This software is functional however an optimised release of the pool is expected soon. Testing and bug submissions are welcome!
- Support for HTTP and Stratum mining
- Detailed block stats with luck percentage and full reward
- Failover geth instances: geth high availability built in
- Separate stats for workers: can highlight timed-out workers so miners can perform maintenance of rigs
- JSON-API for stats
- New vue based UI
- Supports Ethereum Classic, Mordor, Ethereum, Ropsten, ubiq
Dependencies:
- go >= 1.19
- core-geth
- redis-server >= 2.8.0
- nodejs >= 4 LTS
- nginx
I highly recommend to use Ubuntu 20.04 LTS.
First install core-geth.
Clone & compile:
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_8.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
git clone https://github.com/yuriy0803/open-etc-pool-friends.git
cd open-etc-pool-friends
cd build
chmod 755 env.sh
cd ..
make
Install redis-server.
./build/bin/open-etc-pool-friends api.json
You can use Ubuntu upstart - check for sample config in upstart.conf.
Install nodejs. I suggest using LTS version >= 4.x from https://github.com/nodesource/distributions or from your Linux distribution or simply install nodejs on Ubuntu Xenial 16.04.
NOTE: at this point keep your nodejs version <= 10.x.
The frontend is a single-page Ember.js application that polls the pool API to render miner stats.
cd www
Change ApiUrl: '//example.net/' in www/config/environment.js to match your domain name. Also don't forget to adjust other options.
Install deps
$ sudo npm install -g ember-cli@2.13
$ sudo npm install -g bower
$ sudo chown -R $USER:$GROUP ~/.npm
$ sudo chown -R $USER:$GROUP ~/.config
$ npm install
$ bower install
$ ember install ember-truth-helpers
$ npm install jdenticon@2.1.0
Build.
chmod 755 build.sh
./build.sh
Configure nginx to serve API on /api subdirectory.
Configure nginx to serve www/dist as static website.
Create an upstream for API:
upstream api {
server 127.0.0.1:8080;
}
and add this setting after location /:
location /api {
proxy_pass http://api;
}
You can customize the layout using built-in web server with live reload:
ember server --port 8082 --environment development
Don't use built-in web server in production.
Check out www/app/templates directory and edit these templates
in order to customise the frontend.
Configuration is actually simple, just read it twice and think twice before changing defaults.
Don't copy config directly from this manual. Use the example config from the package, otherwise you will get errors on start because of JSON comments.

}If you are distributing your pool deployment to several servers or processes, create several configs and disable unneeded modules on each server. (Advanced users)
I recommend this deployment strategy:
- Mining instance - 1x (it depends, you can run one node for EU, one for US, one for Asia)
- Unlocker and payouts instance - 1x each (strict!)
- API instance - 1x
- Unlocking and payouts are sequential, 1st tx go, 2nd waiting for 1st to confirm and so on. You can disable that in code. Carefully read
docs/PAYOUTS.md. - Also, keep in mind that unlocking and payouts will halt in case of backend or node RPC errors. In that case check everything and restart.
- You must restart module if you see errors with the word suspended.
- Don't run payouts and unlocker modules as part of mining node. Create separate configs for both, launch independently and make sure you have a single instance of each module running.
- If
poolFeeAddressis not specified all pool profit will remain on coinbase address. If it specified, make sure to periodically send some dust back required for payments.
To use this pool on the mordor testnet two settings require changing to "mordor"
network in your config.json (this sets backend (validation,unlocker) to mordor paramaters) APP.Network in your www/config/environment.js (this sets the frontend to mordor paramaters) rerun ./build.sh
