$ tar -zxvf nginx-1.10.3.tar.gz
$ cd nginx-1.10.3
$ ./configure
$ make
$ sudo make install

4.3 nginx setting

Please refer to the difference between ‘mvs_mining_pool_nginx.conf’ and ‘conf/nginx.conf’.

4.4 Start nginx

$ cd /usr/local/nginx
$ sudo ./objs/nginx -c ./conf/nginx.conf

5. Build open-mining-pool

5.1 download & install go 1.9.1

$ wget https://storage.googleapis.com/golang/go1.9.1.linux-amd64.tar.gz
$ sudo tar -xzf go1.9.1.linux-amd64.tar.gz -C /usr/local
$ export GOROOT=/usr/local/go
$ export GOPATH=$HOME/go
$ export PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin:$GOPATH/bin

5.2 download open-mining-pool source code & apply patch for mvs & build

$ git clone https://github.com/sammy007/open-ethereum-pool.git
$ cd open-ethereum-pool
$ git apply ../mvs_mining_pool.diff
$ make

5.3 Change open-mining-pool config

Please refer to the difference between ‘mvs_mining_pool_config.json’ and config.example.json, and generate your own config.json.
Note: the ip address ‘10.10.10.37’ in ‘mvs_mining_pool_config.json’ should be modified to your own ip address.

5.4 Start open-mining-pool

$ ./build/bin/open-ethereum-pool ./config.json

Note

  1. This mining pool is modified based on open_mining_pool, which is suit to ethereum. Only getwork/submitwork are supported in the patch. If you need more functions, you shall develop them by yourself.
  2. Remember setminingaccount first,otherwise getwork will fail.
  3. MVS go SDK(in developing): https://github.com/mvshub/mvs_rpc_go.git
