If anyone is interested in renting Decred hashing power to mine Decred even without having physical miners: we added Decred algorithm to NiceHash. Since original Decred specification lacks stratum support, we made a few minor patches to the Decred specification in order to be able to put support for Decred on NiceHash. The specifications are published here. Pools and mining software have to be patched in order to be compatible with the new specification. If you are a buyer you can already submit orders by using suprnova pool on special port dcr.suprnova.cc:2255 as target pool. If you are a seller (miner) you'll have to use new version of miners. A new version of sgminer has already been released, whereas the maintainers of ccminer mining software should patch ccminer and provide new release with support for the modified specifications.
Feedback welcome.
Best regards,
NiceHash team.
We don't see any performance gain in using your stratum implementation, there is a working implementation, so why change it ?
Nevertheless we'd like to offer support for stratum to our users using your service, do you have a reference implementation ?
