Switch to ckpool like -ck said. UNOMP is inefficient and not suitable for large farms.

Hi
Try switching from UNOMP to MPOS. If in not mistaken UNOMP has poor worker management which might explain why you can only reach up to 800 workers. You should have a much better experience with MPOS.

None with answers?

Hahaha! NO. Not with that...I'm sorry. I didn't knew it was free. I thought, you were inviting me for something else. Please accept my sincere apologies!


 P.S. Answers to questions are much appreciated considering your vast experience  and skills.

Conflict of interest to provide you with free software... okay 

Well, I appreciate your inputs here. But, it seems conflict of interest to me. I'd be really thankful if you can help me point of mistake or comment of question raised.

Thanks ck!

You're running shit pool software. Try ckpool (see my sig).

I'm experimenting with Open Source code available on Github (https://github.com/UNOMP/unified-node-open-mining-portal) to run a mining pool.

We got everything working and started mining with everything deployed on Digital Ocean’s server having 20 CPUs and 64 GB RAM. But as soon as we connected enough miners to reach 1 PH/s, we started getting socket errors and the CPU usage crossed 80% and the miner connections started dropping off.

Next, we shifted the entire setup to AWS using a c4.8xlarge instance. Now we could reach only upto 800 workers (3.7PH/s) and similar problems started coming up.

I did a little digging into the setup and here is what it contains

1 Bitcoin Server (a full node which runs in the server mode and accepts connections through the RPC protocol) - runs using bitcoind - Is one of the concerns as it is single threaded and I am unable to run it in a multi-threaded way.
1 Node Stratum Server https://github.com/UNOMP/node-merged-pool - this connects to the bitcoin server above using rpc and this also eats up a lot of CPU
Node Servers for Frontend / Payments / etc - this works fine

Now, that we have the overview of the scenario and the problem.

Here are the questions that come up to mind:

1. Can we run bitcoind in a multi-threaded way?
2. Can we run bitcoind in a distributed setup (with multiple servers behind a load balancer)?
3. Can we run the node stratum miner in a distributed setup (with multiple servers behind a load balancer)?


Any expert who have come across same problem or understand the need  are welcome to help me. Answers, comments and thoughts are really appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
