I have a new question for you.

I have setup the stratum mining proxy, and all is working fine. (Actually found our first block recently!) However, I have pushpool running as well, and some of my users still use it based on preference.

How can I be assured that people that use stratum isn't getting more shares than those who's using pushpool? Is there a way to set the difficulty on stratum? As of now i set the difficulty manually in pushpool's config file, with rpc.target.bits

Help is appriciated!

This is how you change the difficulty in Stratum:

go to mining/subscription.py

change

self.connection_ref().rpc('mining.set_difficulty', [16,], is_notification=True)

to

self.connection_ref().rpc('mining.set_difficulty', [32,], is_notification=True)

That will set the difficulty to 32 - or change to whatever value you want.

  • Will the 32 in: self.connection_ref().rpc('mining.set_difficulty', [32,], is_notification=True) actually correspond to the SAME difficulty stated in the config of pushpool? So 20 in pushpool = 20 in that line you posted? – Robin Jonsson May 27 '13 at 22:31
  • Note that this stratum server does not use the same definition of difficulty as the rest of mining. So if you want difficulty 32 shares, you need to use: self.connection_ref().rpc('mining.set_difficulty', [31.99951171875,], is_notification=True) – Luke-Jr Nov 24 '13 at 6:11
