This pool is being further developed to provide an easy to use pool for Ethereum Social miners. 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
- Modern beautiful Ember.js frontend
- Separate stats for workers: can highlight timed-out workers so miners can perform maintenance of rigs
- JSON-API for stats
- Ether-Proxy HTTP proxy with web interface
- Stratum Proxy for Ethereum Social
Ethereum Social Pool operators please join the discord channel for the further updates about ETSC!!
Dependencies:
- go >= 1.9
- redis-server >= 2.8.0
- nodejs >= 4 LTS
- nginx
- gesc (go-esc)
I highly recommend to use Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.
$ sudo apt-get install -y build-essential golang-1.9-go
$ sudo ln -s /usr/lib/go-1.9/bin/go /usr/local/bin/go
$ sudo ln -s /usr/lib/go-1.9/bin/gofmt /usr/local/bin/gofmt
$ sudo apt-get install redis-server
It is recommended to bind your DB address on 127.0.0.1 or on internal ip. Also, please set up the password for advanced security!!!
$ sudo apt-get install nginx
Search on Google for nginx-setting
This will install the latest nodejs
$ curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_8.x | sudo -E bash -
$ sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
$ wget https://github.com/ethereumsocial/go-esc/releases/download/v0.2.3/gesc-v0.2.3-linux-amd64.tar.gz
$ tar -xvzf gesc-v0.2.3-linux-amd64.tar.gz
$ sudo cp gesc-v0.2.3-linux-amd64/gesc /usr/local/bin/gesc
If you use Ubuntu, it is easier to control services by using serviced.
$ sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/ethersocial.service
Copy the following example
[Unit]
Description=Ethersocial for Pool
After=network-online.target
[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/gesc --cache=1024 --rpc --rpcaddr 127.0.0.1 --rpcapi "eth,net,web3" --extradata "Mined by <your-pool-domain>" --ethstats "<your-pool-domain>:EthereumSocial@stats.ethereumsocial.kr"
User=<your-user-name>
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
Then run go-esc by the following commands
$ sudo systemctl enable ethersocial
$ sudo systemctl start ethersocial
If you want to debug the node command
$ sudo systemctl status ethersocial
Run console
$ gesc attach
Register pool account and open wallet for transaction. This process is always required, when the wallet node is restarted.
> personal.newAccount()
> personal.unlockAccount(eth.accounts[0],"password",40000000)
$ git config --global http.https://gopkg.in.followRedirects true
$ git clone https://github.com/ethereumsocial/ethersocial-pool
$ cd ethersocial-pool
$ make all
If you face ethersocial-pool after ls ~/ethersocial-pool/build/bin/, the installation has completed.
$ ls ~/ethersocial-pool/build/bin/
$ mv config.example.json config.json
$ nano config.json

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
It is required to run pool by serviced. If it is not, the terminal could be stopped, and pool doesn’t work.
$ sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/etherpool.service
Copy the following example
[Unit]
Description=Etherpool
After=ethersocial.target
[Service]
Type=simple
ExecStart=/home/<your-user-name>/ethersocial-pool/build/bin/ethersocial-pool /home/<your-user-name>/ethersocial-pool/config.json
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
Then run pool by the following commands
$ sudo systemctl enable etherpool
$ sudo systemctl start etherpool
If you want to debug the node command
$ sudo systemctl status etherpool
Backend operation has completed so far.
Firewall should be opened to operate this service. Whether Ubuntu firewall is basically opened or not, the firewall should be opened based on your situation. You can open firewall by opening 80,443,8080,8888,8008.
$ nano ~/ethersocial-pool/www/config/environment.js
Make some modifications in these settings.
BrowserTitle: 'Ethereum Social Mining Pool',
ApiUrl: '//your-pool-domain/',
HttpHost: 'http://your-pool-domain',
StratumHost: 'your-pool-domain',
PoolFee: '1%',
The frontend is a single-page Ember.js application that polls the pool API to render miner stats.
$ cd ~/ethersocial-pool/www
$ sudo npm install -g ember-cli@2.9.1
$ sudo npm install -g bower
$ sudo chown -R $USER:$GROUP ~/.npm
$ sudo chown -R $USER:$GROUP ~/.config
$ npm install
$ bower install
$ ./build.sh
$ cp -R ~/ethersocial-pool/www/dist ~/www
As you can see above, the frontend of the pool homepage is created. Then, move to the directory, www, which services the file.
Set up nginx.
$ sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/default
Modify based on configuration file.
# Default server configuration
# nginx example
upstream api {
server 127.0.0.1:8080;
}
server {
listen 80 default_server;
listen [::]:80 default_server;
root /home/<your-user-name>/www;
# Add index.php to the list if you are using PHP
index index.html index.htm index.nginx-debian.html;
server_name _;
location / {
# First attempt to serve request as file, then
# as directory, then fall back to displaying a 404.
try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
}
location /api {
proxy_pass http://api;
}
}
After setting nginx is completed, run the command below.
$ sudo service nginx restart
Type your homepage address or IP address on the web. If you face screen without any issues, pool installation has completed.
- 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
poolFeeAddress
is not specified all pool profit will remain on coinbase address. If it specified, make sure to periodically send some dust back required for payments. - DO NOT OPEN YOUR RPC OR REDIS ON 0.0.0.0!!! It will eventually cause coin theft.
