Hey everyone,
A number of PHP developers (Sliver, Edison, C4N10 and myself, ViperAus) have been working together to create a Litecoin edit of Slush0's Stratum. We believe we have the code right and so I thought I'd test on FeatherCoin due to the current low difficulty meaning more blocks should go through the system compared to Litecoin. I have just uploaded everything today and it looks good so far - even have 1 block reward already; now I just want to pressure test the machine to see where else we can make some improvements before we release the code into the public domain.
Please help us test this code
You will need to jump on the website (http://www.altpool.com) and register; and then point your mining clients to our server:
stratum+tcp://mine.altpool.com:3333/Any FeatherCoin that is found, will be paid out - I am also planning to release the front end code once we know all the functions are working correctly.
If you would also like to support our work; you can join up to my litecoin pool:
www.mineltc.comUPDATE:
THIS IS A PPLNS POOL, NOT PPS
Please do not expect shares to be credited to your account until after that block was found.
UPDATE 2:
From Page 8.
Alrighty; sorry for the delay in this last update.
Looking at the poll results, it appears that the general consensus is to create the site with MMCFE.
I am happy to say I have now done this on a temporary server which has been offered to me by the supplier of my new server whilst awaiting it to be setup. Hopefully the full server will be online in a day or two.
In the mean time, if you want to join up on the new site and start mining on this temp box please feel free to do so. Any members that join in the next 48 hours will have their account set to 0% pool fee for the next month.
I have also added in a few tweaks with the stratum server; the main one that affects users is that miner details are now being validated.
Website:
http://fc.altpool.comStratum connection: stratum+tcp://fc.altpool.com:3333/
Getwork connection:
http://fc.altpool.com:8336/I have only just literally uploaded the site and am yet to add content back into the pages; I shall get to this in the next 24 hours.
As this is also a new site, many functions are as yet untested and there may be a few bugs from the original developer, but so far from my testing everything looks good.
