Zilliqa Mining Proxy

A mining proxy between Zilliqa CPU nodes and GPU mining rigs. This proxy only runs on a machine with a public IP address. The public IP address is required for both the Zilliqa CPU nodes and GPU mining rigs to connect to it.

Installation & Usage

1. Install Python3.7.2+ and MongoDB

2. Clone Zilliqa-Mining-Proxy, and setup the Python dependencies:

   git clone https://github.com/DurianStallSingapore/Zilliqa-Mining-Proxy
   cd Zilliqa-Mining-Proxy
   sudo python setup.py develop

3. Change the settings in the pool.conf file for the following:

   # settings to change for zilpool
   api_server:
     host: 127.0.0.1 # key in your machine's internal/private IP
     port: 4202 # key in the port you are using for Zilliqa client
     path: /api # key in the path for connecting to zilpool
   
   database:
     uri: "mongodb://127.0.0.1:27017/zil_pool"
     # For more details, refer to: https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/connection-string/

4. Find out the public IP address of this machine:

   curl https://ipinfo.io/ip

   You will be required to connect the Zilliqa CPU nodes and the mining rigs to your public IP address.

   • For Zilliqa CPU nodes, you have to edit the constants.xml file MINING_PROXY_URL parameter:

     <MINING_PROXY_URL>http://52.220.146.17:4202/api</MINING_PROXY_URL>

   • For the GPU mining rigs, you have to change the input proxy_ip to that of your public IP address when setting up the Zilminer clients.

5. Run Zilliqa proxy server

   python start.py
