Based on https://github.com/caesarsalad/eth-solo-pool and https://github.com/etclabscore/open-etc-pool
Web frontend from https://github.com/esprezzo/open-perkle-pool
Originally from https://github.com/sammy007/open-ethereum-pool
Install dependencies
- Install Go Programming Language, Redis and Nginx
sudo apt install golang redis-server nginx
-
Install Node Version Manager as described here https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm#install--update-script
-
Build and run core-geth
git clone https://github.com/etclabscore/core-geth
cd core-geth
make geth
mv build/bin/geth /usr/bin/core-geth
# this address should be used as coinbase if payouts enabled:
core-geth --classic account new
# use --txpool.locals option if you want to include "own" pool transactions into block will be mined by pool;
# replace 0x0 with coinbase address:
screen -dmS core-geth core-geth --classic -http --mine --miner.etherbase 0x0 --unlock 0x0 --password /path/to/password/file --allow-insecure-unlock --txpool.locals 0x0
Build and run pool
git clone https://github.com/e4p1k0/etchash-solo-pool
cd etchash-solo-pool
make
- Edit configuration files in configs/ directory. Config files allows to run the pool as separate modules: api, stratums, unlocker and payout.
Example below is "all-in-one" config with all modules enabled:

- Run the pool
screen -dmS etc-api ./build/bin/open-etc-pool configs/api.json
screen -dmS etc-stratum ./build/bin/open-etc-pool configs/stratum4b.json
screen -dmS etc-unlocker ./build/bin/open-etc-pool configs/unlocker.json
screen -dmS etc-payout ./build/bin/open-etc-pool configs/payout.json
Build the frontend
cd www
- Edit config/environment.js. Here 7070 port is where you want the web frontend to be:
ApiUrl: '//11.22.33.44:7070/',
nvm use v8.17.0
npm install -g [email protected]
npm install -g bower
npm install
bower install
./build.sh
- Edit /etc/nginx/sites-available/default file with sudo. Here upstream port is the same as in configs/api.json, server port is the same as in www/config/environment.js:
upstream etc {
server 127.0.0.1:8080;
}
server {
listen 0.0.0.0:7070;
root /path/to/etchash-solo-pool/www/dist;
index index.html index.htm;
server_name localhost;
location /api {
proxy_pass http://etc;
}
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.html;
}
}
- Restart Nginx
sudo systemctl restart nginx
