NiceHash Ethereum Pool is standalone simple, easy to compile, build&run pool for mining all Dagger-Hashimoto based coins such as Ethereum. This pool is made in C# .NET with share checker written in C/C++ and will easily compile and run on Windows X64. All what you need besides this pool is Ethereum wallet.
This pool only works with EthereumStratum/1.0.0 which is supported by NiceHash. Specifications are in file EthereumStratum_NiceHash_v1.0.0.txt.
Compatible miners:
- https://github.com/nicehash/cpp-ethereum (WIN builds: https://github.com/nicehash/cpp-ethereum/releases)
To connect miner to the pool, you can use any username and password. Example for ethminer:
ethminer -S mypool.com:3333 -O anyuser:x ..other parameters..
- Very small server side load.
- Support for single or multiple Ethereum wallets.
- Single RPC getWork call can support up to 32k miners.
- Compatibility with EthereumStratum/1.0.0, which is supported by NiceHash. Buy hashing power from NiceHash.
- Easy to setup solo mining pool.
- X64 based Windows operating system
- .NET Framework 4.5: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30653
- Visual Studio 2013 redistributable: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40784
- Latest release from here: https://github.com/nicehash/nhethpool/releases
- This pool is unable to build DAGs on it's own (yet). You need to prebuild DAG files (using ethminer for example) and put them in some folder.
- After you have established Ethereum wallet and configured it's RPC, configure config.json and run nhethpool.exe.
- Get Visual Studio 2013: https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/news/vs2013-community-vs.aspx
- Unpack lib.7z in folder 3rdparty\cryptopp\lib
- Open solution with Visual Studio 2013
- Build
