Simple Stratum Mining Proxy for Ergo

The current version of ergo miners only support http request and response.

In order to work with a stratum pool, this proxy is required.

This proxy is a simple wrapper that gets jobs from stratum mining pool and creates an http interface for miner.

Quick Start

1- Download executable proxy for Linux/Windows.

2- Run the proxy with appropriate options.

• In Windows PowerShell:

.\ErgoStratumProxy.exe -s <POOL_ADDRESS> -p <POOL_PORT> -u <WORKER_NAME>

• In linux:

./ErgoStratumProxy_Linux -s <POOL_ADDRESS> -p <POOL_PORT> -u <WORKER_NAME>

See other options by running with -h argument. Among these arguments, listening port (-l), password (-w) and timeout (-t) are optional.

• Argument -l opens a port for listening to the miner (default port is 3000)
• Argument -t changes the reconnection timeout (in seconds) to the stratum server (default is 300 seconds)

Miner Configuration

• In the miner's config file config.json set node address to the proxy's address (by default this address is: {"node":"http://127.0.0.1:3000"}, unless you have changed the listening port)

Build

Windows users can use this tutorial in order to install the proxy.

1. Install Node v12+ and npm

2. Install package dependencies:

npm install

3. Pass arguments to client.js:

4. Start proxy

node client.js -s <POOL_ADDRESS> -p <POOL_PORT> -u <WORKER_NAME>
