ravencoin-stratum-proxy

Allows you to mine directly to your own local wallet/node with any mining software that uses the stratum protocol.

If you are a windows user and are not familiar with python, a walk-through and auto installer is avaliable for a (hopefully) easy install. See here.

Important Note

This is BETA software mainly tested on test-net, but has been confirmed to work on mainnet. (First known coinbase thanks to @pdath: https://rvn.cryptoscope.io/api/getrawtransaction/?txid=abf95dd29ac6732b5ff068bbc1063ef734268a2f04459f3be8ce2f5ea2d1e529&decode=1 can check by putting the vin0 coinbase into a hex->ascii converter).

Important Note 2

This is not pool software and is meant for solo-mining. All proceeds go to the address of the first miner that connects.

Important Note 3

Mining software will only send a share when it has found a block. No shares for long periods of time is normal behavior.

• Setup
• Node Requirements
• Usage
• Help

Setup:

1. Requires python 3.8+
2. Run python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt

• Note that the pysha3 module will need to be compiled so you need some kind of C compiler installed. Alternatively, a precompiled .whl is avaliable in windows/python_modules.

For Windows:

A bat file is avaliable to auto install python and dependencies and generate another bat file to run the stratum.

1. Ensure your node is configured as required.
2. (Re)start your node (the qt wallet works).
3. Download this repo (https://github.com/kralverde/ravencoin-stratum-proxy/archive/refs/heads/master.zip)
4. Unzip the downloaded file
5. Open the unzipped folder
6. Open the windows folder
7. Double-click generate_bat.bat
8. After generate_bat.bat completes with no errors, go back to the previous folder.
9. Double-click run.bat to run the stratum converter.

Node Requirements:

Requires the following raven.conf options:

server=1
rpcuser=my_username
rpcpassword=my_password
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1

On *nix OS's this file is located at ~/.raven by default. On windows, this file is located at %appdata%\roaming\Raven.

You may need to create the raven.conf file and add those lines if it does not exist.

For testnet you can add testnet=1 to your raven.conf

note:

• Default Mainnet rpcport = 8766
• Default Testnet rpcport = 18766

Make sure you configure the rpcport on stratum-converter.py accordingly.

Usage:

The stratum converter uses the following flags python stratum-converter.py Port_for_miner Ip_of_node Rpc_username Rpc_password Rpc_port Allow_external_connections Is_testnet(optional)

With this in mind we can run testnet from a local node with a local miner:

python3 stratum-converter.py 54325 localhost my_username my_password 18766 false true

And for a local node on mainnet with an external miner:

python3 stratum-converter.py 54325 localhost my_username my_password 8766 true

Connect to it with your miner of choise:

status	miner	example
✔️ Works	T-rex	t-rex -a kawpow -o stratum+tcp://PROXY_IP:54325 -u YOUR_WALLET_ADDRESS -p x
✔️ Works	TeamRedMiner	teamredminer -o stratum+tcp://PROXY_IP:54325 -u YOUR_WALLET_ADDRESS -p x --eth_hash_report=on
✔️ Works	Gminer	miner --algo kawpow --server stratum+tcp://PROXY_IP:54325 --user YOUR_WALLET_ADDRESS --pass x

ravencoin-stratum-proxy's Issues

Confirm this project works!

Not an issue - but I have been using this software on the mainnet and struck my first solo block! So if you have been wondering, stop and try this project out.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0CzW6g6hHBQ

possible block solution error (dev fee for rvn code forks)

Anyone know how to fix error for possible block solution?

{'result': 'bad-cb-community-autonomous-amount', 'error': None, 'id': '0'}

Historical States, not being returned

Why having a store of 20... since there is no maintenance...
even adding to the Queue.. it is not being returned.. am I missing something here ?

SupportNICEHASH?

this project will work with NICEHASH?

install issue

I get following error when tryin install proxy ( OS : win 8.1 64bit )

Why is the difficulty so high, is this normal?

Video walkthrough

This isn't an issue - but I didn't know any other way to contact you. The discord link isn't working.

I've created a video based on this project and how to deploy it on Ubuntu 22.04.

Missing Hashrate on Proxy window

I have 1250 Mh/s total and 8 worker .
But Proxy say ; 120-300 mh /s .. is it normal ?

Install problem if some of the folders have space in their name

Example:
I:\mining for fun\ravencoin-stratum-proxy-master\ravencoin-stratum-proxy-master\windows

CURRENT_DIRECTORY will have the correct path but when powershell execute command with:

%CURRENT_DIRECTORY%python.zip, parser will stop at the word mining.

In this case i had to do:
'%CURRENT_DIRECTORY%python.zip'
And for every command with powershell i did this.

Of course not only powershell has problem with spaces. Every other path have to go under " " if they are not already under quotes

Front-end compatible?

Hello,

It's not a bug but a legitimate question: Is there any front-end like MPOS-PHP compatible with this nice piece of software?

session.post() with strong passwords

I tried to use a strong random RPC password, and it failed to create a valid URL for session.post().

For example, try using a password containing &. I suspect the parameters should be passed through something like urllib.parse.quote().

Can't make it work with other kawpow coins like Neoxa/Clore

Hi, i'm trying to adopt your stratum to work on other kawpow based node and getting the following rejections:
Error code: 20 - bad-cb-community-autonomous-amount

I noticed other people are getting similar problems:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Neoxa/comments/wd4oby/solo_mine_to_qt_wallet_with_trex_teamredminer_and/

can you help to solve it please?

username password for miner

Can I set this proxy with user password as traditional pools ?

like --pass x on miner command
