This is a step by step guide on how to setup your own mining pool for things like GeekCash, Bitcoin, Litecoin and other crypto-currencies.

  1. Connect to VPS — Ubuntu which GeekCash is already
    To install GeekCash Daemon follow the instructions below: https://medium.com/geekcash/how-to-setup-masternode-from-beginners-ea5f60686790

2. We need install some required packages

Node 8.x.x

sudo apt-get install libevent-pthreads-2.0–5

sudo apt-get install libcurl4-openssl-dev

curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_8.x | sudo -E bash -

sudo apt-get install -y nodejs

sudo apt-get install -y build-essential

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:chris-lea/redis-server

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install redis-server

make sure redis-server work

3. Install open-node-mining-portal

3.1 Get source

git clone https://github.com/geekcash/node-open-mining-portal.git pool

cd pool

npm install

Before run you must change some configuration — I use FileZilla to edit file thought SFTP

3.2 Change pool/config.json

goto /root/pool rename config_example.json to config.json

edit config.json and change the website configuration to match your server

Save and push change

3.3 Change geekcash.json

Go to root/pool/configs -> rename geekcash_example.json to geekcash.json

return terminus back to root

Create new address:

geekcash-cli getnewaddress pool

Go to .geekcash → cat geekcash.conf to show configuration

rpcuser=rKGhy6aC7TPB

rpcpassword=ZMGCchzgRUSGtIfCr9CQhRgqylgg4U2J

rpcallowip=127.0.0.1

listen=1

server=1

daemon=1

Edit file geekcash.json

Change address and rewardRecipients to your new created pool address

Change user and password to your rpcuser and rpcpassword

Save file and push updated file

3.4 Test pool

Go to pool and run node init

3.5 Install Pm2 to keep pool working

npm install pm2 -g

start init.js via pm2

pm2 start init.js — name=”pool”

3.6 Now try mining on new pool

go to website http://your-ip/

Note: if can’t connect to website or stratum Host check your firewall and allow port

sudo ufw allow 80

sudo ufw allow 3333
