How to start mining with proxy up?

./farm.sh

Description

This is Stratum Proxy for Ethereum based pools (RPCv2) using asynchronous networking written in Python Twisted. Originally developed for DwarfPool http://dwarfpool.com/eth

NOTE: This fork is still in development. Some features may be broken. Please report any broken features or issues.

Features

• Additional up to 20% increase of earning compared to standard pools
• ETH stratum proxy
• Automatically failover via proxy
• Only one connection to the pool
• Workers get new jobs immediately
• Submit of shares without network delay, it's like solo-mining but with benefits of professional pool
• Central Wallet configuration, miners doesn't need wallet as username
• Support monitoring via email
• Bypass worker_id for detailed statistic and per rig monitoring
• pass submitHashrate to pool

How it works

   Pool A <---+                        +-------------+ Rig1 / PC1
 (Active)      |                       |
               |                       +-------------+ Rig2 / PC2
               |                       |
  Pool B <---+-----StratumProxy  <-----+-------------+ Rig3 / PC3
(FailOver)                             |
                                       +-------------+ Rig4 / PC4
                                       |
                                       +-------------+ Leaserigs

Proxy working check

• To check that proxy works open in browser http://127.0.0.1:8080/ (or your changed ip and port from config)
