ethproxy

Description

This is Stratum Proxy for Ethereum based pools (RPCv2) using asynchronous networking written in Python Twisted.

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
• Fast deployment through Docker

How it works

Example:

rig1 ---- rig2 ---- rig3
            |
        stratum proxy (ethproxy)
        |          |
    Pool A      Pool B
   (Active)   (Failover)

Configuration

• ethproxy/settings.py contains settings, all of which can be set via environment variables

Command line start

Recommended farm-recheck to use with stratum-proxy is 200:

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

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. The requirements for running the software are below.

• Python 2.7+, 3.6+
• python-twisted

Installation

[Linux]

With python (and pip) installed, use pip to install:

pip install ethproxy

Start proxy with:

ethproxy

[Windows]

This are old directions, might be easier to pip install but twisted has native dependencies so good luck with that :)

Download compiled version https://github.com/Atrides/eth-proxy/releases

Or use python source code

1) Download Python Version 2.7.14 (or greater) 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:Python27Scripts;

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:

   pip 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/

7. Download eth-proxy. Extract eth-proxy.zip. Change settings and start with command:

   python xmr-proxy.py
   

[Docker]

Use this generic command line (conf references likely need to be updated with package refactor):

docker run -d -v CONFIG:/app/eth-proxy.conf -p PORT:8080 --name eth-proxy fmauneko/eth-proxy

Exemple:

docker run -d -v /srv/eth-proxy/eth-proxy.conf:/app/eth-proxy.conf -p 8080:8080 --name eth-proxy fmauneko/eth-proxy

TODO

• lint and make python more happy
