## Stratum Server Instructions
|
|
In simple terms, the stratum protocol is a protocol to distribute crypto mining work to multiple miners. Mining pools typically run a stratum endpoint that the various miners communicate with.
|
|
Please refer to other web sources for more information about mining pools or the stratum protocol.
|
|
|
|
When mining LBC, you can solo mine directly to an instance of a full node (using the node's wallet). Or you can mine as part of a pool.
|
|
You can host your own pool or use one of the many hosted LBC pools. See https://miningpoolstats.stream/lbry
|
|
|
|
This document refers to Yiimp, a derivative of Yaamp, as found here: https://github.com/tpruvot/yiimp.git .
|
|
Please refer to the instructions there as well. Yiimp has supported LBRY mining for several years.
|
|
|
|
Yiimp consists of two pieces: the web GUI for pool management (written in PHP) and the Stratum server (written in C++). The two communicate via polling a MySQL database (or MariaDB).
|
|
The web GUI and configuration of the pooling rewards, fees, etc. are out of scope here.
|
|
|
|
To help you with running Yiimp, we have created two docker images: one for the DB and one for the Yiimp Stratum Server. (See the subfolders.)
|
|
Use of the Docker images is optional; you can refer to other Yiimp and MySQL documentation for running it without Docker.
|
|
If you are using your own database instance, you will need to import the Yiimp SQL files to establish the yaamp database.
|
|
See https://github.com/tpruvot/yiimp/tree/next/sql .
|
|
|
|
### Sample Usage Steps:
|
|
|
|
#### 1. Run the full lbrycrd node:
|
|
```
|
|
./lbrycrdd -testnet -rpcuser=ruser -rpcpassword=rpswd -deprecatedrpc=validateaddress -deprecatedrpc=accounts -daemon
|
|
```
|
|
The included deprecated RPCs are required for compatibility with Yiimp.
|
|
It will need to be caught up to the current block before it is ready.
|
|
Remove `-testnet` for the real deal.
|
|
#### 2. Run and initialize the datatabase:
|
|
```
|
|
docker run -d -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=patofpaq -e MYSQL_DATABASE=yaamp --network host --name db lbry/yiimp_db
|
|
|
|
docker exec -it db mysql -uroot -ppatofpaq
|
|
use yaamp;
|
|
delete from coins;
|
|
insert into coins(name, symbol, symbol2, algo, enable, auto_ready, rpcuser, rpcpasswd, rpchost, rpcport, rpccurl, rpcencoding, hasgetinfo, hassubmitblock, usememorypool, usesegwit, auxpow)
|
|
values('Local LBRY Instance', 'LBC', 'LBC', 'lbry', 1, 1, 'ruser', 'rpswd', '127.0.0.1', 19245, 1, 'utf-8', 0, 1, 0, 0, 0);
|
|
exit
|
|
```
|
|
Use port 19245 for testnet, port 9245 for main.
|
|
#### 3. Run the stratum server:
|
|
```
|
|
docker run --network host -d lbry/yiimp_stratum
|
|
```
|
|
Alternatively, to get more output or see how its called directly:
|
|
```
|
|
docker run --network host -it lbry/yiimp_stratum bash
|
|
cat config/lbry.conf
|
|
./stratum config/lbry
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### 4. Connect sgminer to it:
|
|
```
|
|
sgminer -k lbry -o stratum+tcp://127.0.0.1:3334/ -D -T -O mn824Su1wX7ip8WcNYzXwwWqvBvkeWGRo6:x
|
|
```
|
|
The username there is the account to receive payments from the pool. The password is unused. Tested with https://github.com/lbryio/sgminer-gm.
|
|
You can use whatever miner you prefer. |
