I miss when crypto was about decentralisation.
Pretty interesting.

Who here has actually made their own pool and is using it now?

Offer escrow, receive negative trust
uNOMP's github says this:
Quote
Development stopped and is now unsupported. The node.js version is being deprecated in October 2016.

If uNOMP is now unsupported, what is the de-facto software for pool development nowadays?

Props to OP for these video tutorials by the way, excellent step-by-step process Smiley

Mine at Jonny's Pool
You need some way to attract miners to your pool.  That's what it all boils down to.  The more miners you convince to hash with you, the more coin you can make as a pool operator.  The problem is that the vast majority of the hash rate belongs to China.  Chinese pools represent over 75% of the network.  They continue to grow because that's where so much gear is produced and hosted.  Cheap all around costs mean higher profits from mining operations.

Look at the non-Chinese pools distribution for the past 3 months...

Slush - about 6.16% of the network
Kano - about 2.35% of the network
Eligius - about 0.12%
Bitminter - about 0.12%

Believe me, if I were running a pool for profit, I'd have closed it down a long time ago Smiley

Can you make a mining pool and profit without mining yourself?
Is it possible?  Yes.  Is it likely?  No.

To make money from running a pool (not including any advertisement or non-mining revenue like donations it might generate), you need to charge fees.  You then need to get a whole lot of miners hashing on your pool.

Here's an example.  Let's say you create a pool and charge 1% fees to your miners.  Let's also assume you manage to get 1PH/s of hashing power pointed to your pool.  Right now, that would expect to earn you about 0.009915BTC per day (or ~$6.50).

Let's use a real-world example.  Kano's pool charges miners 0.9% fee.  His pool has about 28PH/s of hashing power currently.  Expectations are that he'd make 0.24993BTC per day (roughly ~ $164.50).

Sure, it looks like easy money, right?  Good luck!  I've been running my pool for nearly a year and average about 150TH.  That's a drop in the ocean, especially considering about half of that is my own mining hardware.  I have a 0.5% fee.  Therefore, my current expected earnings per day from the pool alone is 0.0007435BTC a day (or roughly ~ $0.49).  That's less than $15 a month, which doesn't even come close to covering the costs of running the pool.
So how do you bring miners to your pool.. is all advertising  strategy and fees?  what about websites that list your pool( like a directory
) is there such a thing and do they charge as well? I am very green in this topic so please excuse my ignorance .  Wink

what about https://unomp.org/

isnt it way to go nowadays?

And do you need very fast top specs server for running pool ?

I got 12 cores CPU 8GB RAM 180GB HDD, would that do ? Linux server would that do ?
