Honestly, I expected in the last year that somebody would write a C implementation of a pool WITH stratum.
My personal opinion of slush's implementation(in Python) of stratum is....it sucks. I and many others have read his stratum documentation and it's lacking, one needs to read and understand the python code to implement this in anything else.
I've been honestly tempted to write this in C, but there just isn't enough time.

Awesome tutorial. I wish I had this earlier. I feel like it's too late to even try now.
Awesome! Nice to get it free! 
Cheers for the feedback.
In the near future i'll make a new series detailing security, and email setup
thanks

Really awesome! Keep it up please.

I'm sure many more viable pools would have been created had people known how to start their own mining pools. Now most of the hash seems to be going to private farms owned by the ASIC companies themselves.
Too bad you weren't around doing these vids in summer of 2011 I could have used them.
Back then I was planning to make a Namecoin mining pool but that never happened as I was never able to figure out how to get it up and running with the documentation that existed back then.

Thanks for the videos. It took a bit of coaxing, but I got bitcoin to work on it. I just saw that you updated it for the changes in MPOS. That was a pain to figure out why I couldn't get to it. Still not sure about the stats showing in MPOS, but at least it seems to be working. I've also got an eliopool working. Any chance of being able to integrate MPOS as the front end for it?
thanks for the tutorial I always wanted to host a bitcoin mining pool I already have a strong server will look into it and post with any questions.
Just what I have been looking for. Thanks for your videos not often people do for free.
What would the min requirements needed for a server needed to run on. I have a spare system doing nothing with 500GB hard drive on it x4 amd 3.8Ghz
Does everything need to be done in Linux or can a pool be made for Windows etc???

The easiest way is just to use a windows system running VMware or VirtualBox. The system specs you've provided seem good, just remember that you'll need enough RAM for the windows machine as well as the linux machine. I've found that if you have less than 1gb of RAM on the linux machine it's quite difficult to compile the wallet (ie you get lots of errors)

These videos are made on a windows machine.
It's just in a virtual machine which runs the linux OS.
If you've got a spare windows server, then you're ready to virtualize linux.
Good One
thanks for sharing

Thanks for sharing, I have always wondered how to make your own mining pool.
Gave you a like and a favorite

I'll definitely be checking out your videos soon, I've wanted to set up a pool for awhile now, but just a local one to see how it would all work out.

I am getting this error:
chown: cannot access ‘public/templates/compile’: No such file or directory
chown: cannot access ‘public/templates/cache’: No such file or directory
i checked the git, and shows [[MOVED] Removed include and templates from public [TESTING]]
any idea if we need to do any extra step?
chown: cannot access ‘public/templates/compile’: No such file or directory
chown: cannot access ‘public/templates/cache’: No such file or directory
i checked the git, and shows [[MOVED] Removed include and templates from public [TESTING]]

This is becase of the new directory structure in the MPOS software on github.
I've update the tutorial on youtube, but essentially you just need to change the command to conform to the new directory structure so do:
chown -R www-data templates/compile templates/cache logs
Hope that helps
great tutorial

is it possible to make a pool on an windows based server?
You could probably make MPOS work under a VM, but CoiniumServ might also be of interest to you. Note that it's only the server side, not the public-facing web side (MPOS is pretty much a turnkey solution, offering all of it neatly packaged together).I can't really think of a good reason to use a Windows-based server for this, though, unless it's all you have available to you for some reason
If you only have a windows machine your best bet is to run a VMWare (like I have in this video) and have the network set to bridged mode, then just forward ports 80, and the worker port to the local IP of that virtual machine. Downside is that the host machine (windows) has to stay on all the time.
