Hi,
I am setting up my private mining server so I don't depend on public mining services. I tried Deepbit but was DDoSed so I switched to BTC Guild and then he got DDoSed so now I decided to build my own mining pool.
#1 What would be server requirements to setup mining pool that could handle for start 100 GH/s - 300 GH/s, and what would be server requirements for running it up to 1 TH/s?
My old VPS specifications are
Processor 2 dedicated cores
RAM 1536 MB (dedicated) +512 MB of SWAP
Disk 48 GB SAS with RAID 60
Bandwidth 30 Mbps
(about 9.3 TB of data transfer)
My current server specifications are
Intel® Core™ i7-920 Quadcore
incl. Hyper-Threading Technology
RAM 12 GB DDR3 RAM
Hard discs 2 x 1500 GB SATA-II HDD
(Software-RAID 1)
NIC 1 GBit OnBoard
connected at 100 MBit
Backup Space 100 GB
Traffic Unlimited*
I am currently using push pool 0.5.1. but it breaks at 70 GH/s+. I am not sure is that because of too many connections or what... On old VPS it was also breaking at 70GH/s+
When pool hits 70GH/s server doesn't shut down or get restarted. Almost nothing happens on server side, apache works, MySQL works, but no new work is accepted. Then slowly if I keep it that way pushpool would crash totally and processor use would jump up to 97%. I need to stop the pushpool from SSH and start it again and then all works normally till it hits 70 GH/s...
When pushpool hit 70 GH/s I run miner from my computer and I got this error
0 MHash/s Error 80072EE2: The operation timed out
0 MHash/s Error 80072EFD: A connection with the server could not be established
0 MHash/s Error 80072EFD: A connection with the server could not be established
0 MHash/s Error 80072EFD: A connection with the server could not be established
#2 Is there any hosting company you ppl recommend?
#3 What does cause most stress to server when doing pool mining?
#4 Do you guys have any tips for setting up a pool mine (what problems do usually occur)?
#5 What is currently best miner for CPU mining?
#6 What is currently best miner for GPU mining?
#7 Why is SDK needed for GPU mining?
#8 Does Ufasoft miner need SDK for working with GPUs?
#9 Does Ufasoft miner automaticly use GPU mining if SDK are installed and there is GPU avaiable?
#10 How does Ufasoft miner work actually with GPU mining?
#11 Why doesn't push pool use all cores? It uses only one on my dedi. How to set it to use all cores?
I am willing to pay 10 - 20 BTC for ppl that can fix me my issue and stabilize my mining pool.

Alisa
