Yolo and Solo Your Private Pool for ORE Mining

The goal of this project is to balance the ever-growing public pools and decentralize computing power, in line with the ORE design principle: anyone can mine. As expected, more individual miners.

This is private pool server. Forked from ore-hq-server.

It's tailored by Miraland Labs as a lightweight release, derived from and credited to ore-hq-server.

Key Differentiators of the Private Pool

Simplified and lightweight.

Optimized for home and/or personal use.

Zero fee charge for computing client, mining tx fee only for pool server.

No delegate.

No database.

Scale from a few to tens of devices, either laptop or PC.

Balance between worse penalties and better rewards.

Easy setup and flexible home deployment.

Install

To install the private pool server, 2 approaches are recommended:

Approach One: install from crates.io directly, use cargo:

cargo install ore-private-pool-srv

Approach Two: download source code from Github at: github:

https://github.com/miraland-labs/ore-private-pool-srv

and then compile locally

cargo build --release

Dependencies

If you run into issues during installation, please install the following dependencies for your operating system and try again:

Linux

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install openssl pkg-config libssl-dev

Notes: you may need to install dependencies to enable sound notification on ubuntu OS with:

sudo apt-get install libasound2-dev
sudo apt-get install libudev-dev

MacOS (using Homebrew)

brew install openssl pkg-config

# If you encounter issues with OpenSSL, you might need to set the following environment variables:
export PATH="/usr/local/opt/openssl/bin:$PATH"
export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib"
export CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/opt/openssl/include"

Windows (using Chocolatey)

choco install openssl pkgconfiglite

Build

To build the codebase from scratch, checkout the repo and use cargo to build:

cargo build --release

Env Settings

copy .env.example file and rename to .env, set with your own settings.

Run

To run pool server, execute:

ore-ppl-srv [OPTIONS]

or, if you build from source code downloaded from github, enter into ore-private-pool-srv home directory, duplicate bin.example directory and rename to bin, modify settings in start-ore-ppl-srv.sh, execute:

bin/start-ore-ppl-srv.sh

or

RUST_LOG=none,ore_ppl_srv=info bin/start-ore-ppl-srv.sh

you will find daily log file in logs sub directory.

Help

You can use the -h flag on any command to pull up a help menu with documentation:

ore-ppl-srv -h

Usage: ore-ppl-srv [OPTIONS]

Options:
-b, --buffer-time <BUFFER_SECONDS>
        The number seconds before the deadline to stop mining and start submitting. [default: 5]
-r, --risk-time <RISK_SECONDS>
        Set extra hash time in seconds for miners to stop mining and start submitting, risking a penalty. [default: 0]
--priority-fee <FEE_MICROLAMPORTS>
        Price to pay for compute units when dynamic fee flag is off, or dynamic fee is unavailable. [default: 100]
--priority-fee-cap <FEE_CAP_MICROLAMPORTS>
        Max price to pay for compute units when dynamic fees are enabled. [default: 100000]
--dynamic-fee
        Enable dynamic priority fees
--dynamic-fee-url <DYNAMIC_FEE_URL>
        RPC URL to use for dynamic fee estimation.
-e, --expected-min-difficulty <EXPECTED_MIN_DIFFICULTY>
        The expected min difficulty to submit from pool client. Reserved for potential qualification process unimplemented yet. [default: 8]
-e, --extra-fee-difficulty <EXTRA_FEE_DIFFICULTY>
        The min difficulty that the pool server miner thinks deserves to pay more priority fee to land tx quickly. [default: 29]
-e, --extra-fee-percent <EXTRA_FEE_PERCENT>
        The extra percentage that the pool server miner feels deserves to pay more of the priority fee. As a percentage, a multiple of 50 is recommended(example: 50, means pay extra 50% of the specified priority fee), and the final priority fee cannot exceed the priority fee cap. [default: 0]
-s, --slack-difficulty <SLACK_DIFFICULTY>
        The min difficulty that will notify slack channel(if configured) upon transaction success. [default: 25]
--no-sound-notification
        Sound notification on by default
