Clone this repository locally and run make

git clone https://github.com/archit120/Monero-Pool.git
cd Monero-Pool
make

The resulting binaries can be found in /build/

Compile the C++ part of the solution then compile the C# project named Monero-Pool. After doing this copy the C++ dll to same folder as your pool binaries.

Binary releases can be found on the repository.

Have a look the sample config.txt given and configure it to your liking.

Edit the config.json

{"scheme":"tcp","host":"192.168.1.4","port":6379}

Download and extract Predis to the root directroy of front end. Host with a webserver capable of serving PHP files.

When upgrading it is highly recommended to wait for an official release. Since the pool is still in extremely beta stage many big changes may be implemented so follow the step listed in release carefully while upgrading.

No cryptonote based coins have a testnet mode (yet) but you can effectively create a testnet with the following steps:

• Open /src/p2p/net_node.inl and remove lines with ADD_HARDCODED_SEED_NODE to prevent it from connecting to mainnet (Monero example: http://git.io/0a12_Q)
• Build the coin from source
• You now need to run two instance of the daemon and connect them to each other (without a connection to another instance the daemon will not accept RPC requests)
  • Run first instance with ./coind --p2p-bind-port 28080 --allow-local-ip
  • Run second instance with ./coind --p2p-bind-port 5011 --rpc-bind-port 5010 --add-peer 0.0.0.0:28080 --allow-local-ip
• You should now have a local testnet setup. The ports can be changes as long as the second instance is pointed to the first instance, obviously
