I'm trying to set up a bitcoin/altcoin pool server, but I've run in to a bit of a problem, I have no way to verify I've connected to the pool succesfully, and no stats or informations on the actual pool operations. Is there some way I could find these stats in litecoin-qt or bitcoin-qt? The getinfo command seems to only return stats about the client, versus the actual pool info. I'd also like to have them generated automatically vs having to calculate myself.

Please provide more information. How long have you been a miner, how long have you know bitcoin/litecoin/altcoin? What are you using for your back end/frontend? either one should show you if you are on the right track. if you can provide this info i can help. I am a altcoin pool op for about a year now myself. EDIT are you using a front end? – Joe White Jan 7 '14 at 2:10

@JoeWhite Updated and no I don't believe I am using a frontend, though I'm not sure what it is. I'm just trying to start, but now that I think about it, I have heard about frontends before. – Dylan Katz Jan 7 '14 at 2:32
Dylan, i suggest you do a lot more reading before you attempt to run a pool. A pool is not an easy job, you need an in-depth knowledge of bitcoin/c++/python etc. It's not simply cut and paste.
Unfourtunately from waht i am reading you are only running a coin daemon as your pool node which won't work for a pool. check out how to install mmcfe for litecoin. that should help you out

I know c++, and python, I'm currently learning quite alot about bitcoins. Thank you for putting me on the right track, though I think you underestimate me. EDIT: Also does pushpool work for this? – Dylan Katz Jan 7 '14 at 2:40

Dylan, i'm sorry if you got the opinion that i underestimate you. I do not know you more than your post here and you said some odd phrasing "but now that I think about it, I have heard about frontends before" so I just have to assume that you are not knowledgeable about it. I just don't want to see you have any problems with your code. please feel free to contact me with any help you may need. – Joe White Jan 7 '14 at 2:42

yeah pusphool does work, but not sure why you would want that. stratum is much better. github.com/moopless/stratum-mining-litecoin EDIT or mpos github.com/TheSerapher/php-mpos – Joe White Jan 7 '14 at 2:43
