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.

Table of Contents

  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.

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.

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.

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
❗ Errors NBminer
