High performance Node.js (with native C addons) mining pool for CryptoNote based coins. Comes with lightweight example front-end script which uses the pool's AJAX API. Support for Cryptonight (Original, Monero v7, Stellite v7), Cryptonight Light (Original, Aeon v7, IPBC) and Cryptonight Heavy (Sumokoin) algorithms.

- TCP (stratum-like) protocol for server-push based jobs
- Compared to old HTTP protocol, this has a higher hash rate, lower network/CPU server load, lower orphan block percent, and less error prone
- Support for Cryptonight (Original, Monero v7, Stellite v7), Cryptonight Light (Original, Aeon v7, IPBC) and Cryptonight Heavy (Sumokoin) algorithms.
- IP banning to prevent low-diff share attacks
- Socket flooding detection
- Share trust algorithm to reduce share validation hashing CPU load
- Clustering for vertical scaling
- Ability to configure multiple ports - each with their own difficulty
- Miner login (wallet address) validation
- Workers identification (specify worker name as the password)
- Variable difficulty / share limiter
- Set fixed difficulty on miner client by passing "address" param with "+[difficulty]" postfix

Those are legitimate requirements. If you use old versions of Node.js or Redis that may come with your system package manager then you will have problems. Follow the linked instructions to get the last stable versions.
Redis warning: It'sa good idea to learn about and understand software that you are using - a good place to start with redis is data persistence.
Clone the repository and run npm update
for all the dependencies to be installed:
git clone https://github.com/dvandal/cryptonote-nodejs-pool.git pool
cd pool
npm update
Use config_geldum.json
then overview each options and change any to match your preferred setup.

node init.js
The file config.json
is used by default but a file can be specified using the -config=file
command argument, for example:
node init.js -config=config_backup.json
This software contains four distinct modules:
pool
- Which opens ports for miners to connect and processes sharesapi
- Used by the website to display network, pool and miners' dataunlocker
- Processes block candidates and increases miners' balances when blocks are unlockedpayments
- Sends out payments to miners according to their balances stored in redis
By default, running the init.js
script will start up all four modules. You can optionally have the script start
only start a specific module by using the -module=name
command argument, for example:
node init.js -module=api
Example screenshot of running the pool in single module mode with tmux.
To keep your pool up, on operating system with systemd, you can create add your pool software as a service.
Use this example and create your service file /lib/systemd/system/cryptonote-nodejs-pool.service
Then enable and start the service with the following commands :
systemctl enable cryptonote-nodejs-pool.service
systemctl start cryptonote-nodejs-pool.service
Simply host the contents of the website_example
directory on file server capable of serving simple static files.
Edit the variables in the website_example/config.js
file to use your pool's specific configuration.
Variable explanations:
var api = "http://geldumpool.com:8117";
var email = "support@poolhost.com";
var telegram = "https://t.me/geldum";
var discord = "https://discordapp.com/invite/YourPool";
var marketCurrencies = ["{symbol}-BTC", "{symbol}-USD", "{symbol}-EUR", "{symbol}-CAD"];
var blockchainExplorer = "http://chainradar.com/{symbol}/block/{id}";
var transactionExplorer = "http://chainradar.com/{symbol}/transaction/{id}";
var themeCss = "themes/default.css";
var defaultLang = 'en';
The following files are included so that you can customize your pool website without having to make significant changes
to index.html
or other front-end files thus reducing the difficulty of merging updates with your own changes:
custom.css
for creating your own pool stylecustom.js
for changing the functionality of your pool website
Then simply serve the files via nginx, Apache, Google Drive, or anything that can host static content.
You can configure the API to be accessible via SSL using various methods. Find an example for nginx below:
- Using SSL api in
config.json
:
By using this you will need to update your api
variable in the website_example/config.js
. For example:
var api = "https://poolhost:8119";
- Inside your SSL Listener, add the following:
location ~ ^/api/(.*) {
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8117/$1$is_args$args;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
}
By adding this you will need to update your api
variable in the website_example/config.js
to include the /api. For example:
var api = "http://poolhost/api";
You no longer need to include the port in the variable because of the proxy connection.
- Using his own subdomain, for example
api.poolhost.com
:
server {
server_name api.poolhost.com
listen 443 ssl http2;
ssl_certificate /your/ssl/certificate;
ssl_certificate_key /your/ssl/certificate_key;
location / {
more_set_headers 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *';
proxy_pass http://127.0.01:8117;
proxy_http_version 1.1;
proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
proxy_set_header Connection 'upgrade';
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_cache_bypass $http_upgrade;
}
}
By adding this you will need to update your api
variable in the website_example/config.js
. For example:
var api = "//api.poolhost.com";
You no longer need to include the port in the variable because of the proxy connection.
When updating to the latest code its important to not only git pull
the latest from this repo, but to also update
the Node.js modules, and any config files that may have been changed.
- Inside your pool directory (where the init.js script is) do
git pull
to get the latest code. - Remove the dependencies by deleting the
node_modules
directory withrm -r node_modules
. - Run
npm update
to force updating/reinstalling of the dependencies. - Compare your
config.json
to the latest example ones in this repo or the ones in the setup instructions where each config field is explained. You may need to modify or add any new changes.
Documentation for JSON-RPC commands can be found here:
- Daemon https://wiki.bytecoin.org/wiki/JSON_RPC_API
- Wallet https://wiki.bytecoin.org/wiki/Wallet_JSON_RPC_API
Curl can be used to use the JSON-RPC commands from command-line. Here is an example of calling getblockheaderbyheight
for block 100:
curl 127.0.0.1:18081/json_rpc -d '{"method":"getblockheaderbyheight","params":{"height":100}}'
- To inspect and make changes to redis I suggest using redis-commander
- To monitor server load for CPU, Network, IO, etc - I suggest using New Relic
- To keep your pool node script running in background, logging to file, and automatically restarting if it crashes - I suggest using forever or PM2
