GetworkStratumProxy (GSP) is a "reverse" proxy for stratum miners to mine on getWork-based servers.
GSP is specifically for Stratum clients (such as TeamRedMiner, PhoenixMiner or any stratum-capable miner) to getWork-only servers. The motive behind developing this was to use third-party miners to solo mine cryptocurrencies (instead of using ethminer which supported getWork connections).
Currently, GSP is tested to work with a private Ethereum network, setup with puppeth and mined up to a canonical chain (chain with consensus achieved). Nothing is changed with the jobs sent and received by GSP, only that whatever is sent and received to it is relayed to the opposite side. GSP has also been used to mine directly on the Callisto mainnet blockchain and successfully proxied the submitted solutions of 14 block validations, using the ethproxy proxy mode.
TeamRedMiner pointed to stratum+tcp://127.0.0.1:3131 which is GSP, GSP then relays getWork and submitted jobs to stratum clients and node respectively and then the node verifies submitted works by GSP, thus sealing the block.
GSP is made using C#/.NET 5.0 and .NET SDK is needed to build the solution.
git clone https://github.com/SergeantSerk/GetworkStratumProxy.git
cd GetworkStratumProxy
dotnet build -c Release
cd GetworkStratumProxy.ConsoleApp/bin/Release/net5.0/
dotnet GetworkStratumProxy.ConsoleApp.dll --help
Currently, no binaries are built and added to releases yet. As such, you have to clone this repository and build it yourself. See Source.
Running GSP should be fairly straightforward, only ever needing to passing few arguments.
GSP currently expects you to pass --rpc URL argument, where the URL is a properly constructed URL pointing to a blockchain node that supports eth_getWork API, such as http://127.0.0.1:8545.
dotnet GetworkStratumProxy.ConsoleApp.dll --rpc http://127.0.0.1:8545/ -v
- It is advised that you use
-vargument for verbose output for the first run, to see if polling for the server is successful.
dotnet GetworkStratumProxy.ConsoleApp.dll --rpc http://127.0.0.1:8545/ -v --poll-interval 200
- You can specify the
--poll-intervalin milliseconds at which GSP polls the server for new jobs. The default value should be fine but can be changed to something lower.
Pleae submit any issues when using GSP in order to improve it (such as uncaught exceptions, communication issues). You can contribute to this repository as need be under licence.
Thank you for considering donations, they are always welcome and definitely not necessary.
