This application simplifies running multiple harvesters for the cryptocurrency Chia. Instead of having to do the entire process on every harvester machine this will get everything running with minimal configuration required.
This is used as a private mining pool until pools are officially supported by chia.
| Can be used for | Cannot be used for |
|---|---|
| Mining with others you do trust | Mining with others you do not trust |
| Self Pooling | Plots from different 24 word keys |
This is because of 2 main reasons:
- The server cannot know how many plots the miners really have
- Pool must trust miners
- The mining rewards are stored on a wallet which is not accessible by miners
- Miners must trust Pool
- Clone the project
- Go to the subfolder of Docker depending on which one you want to build
docker build . -t [ImageName] --build-arg BRANCH=latest --no-cache
Configure environment variables
- chiapoolcli_poolhost - Address of the pools webinterface, e.g. https://my-chia-pool.com/
- chiapoolcli_minerhost - Address to the miners webinterface, usually http://localhost:8888
The miner is optional, but some features will not be available if the CLI has no access to the local miner to authenticate requests.
This pool uses 2 keys, one for farming and one for storing rewards. You can read about how it works here. This is enabled by default, you only need to add your keys to the node.env file.
| Farmer key | Wallet Key | |
|---|---|---|
| Stores mined XCH | No | Yes |
| Accessible by miners | Yes | No |
| Accessible by plotters | Yes | No |
| Used for plotting | Yes | No |
