Can you build a ACOIN pool that is solo, private, or public?

Yes. The pool type affects authentication, abuse controls, and how you present payouts and stats. We’ll recommend a launch approach based on whether you’re mining alone, with a group, or operating a public pool.

Do you help with nodes, RPC security, and wallet handling for ACOIN?

Yes. We deploy and harden the node layer (RPC allowlists, secrets, monitoring), then validate wallet and payout flows with small-value test runs before going live.

Will it work with NiceHash hashpower?

In many cases, yes. Compatibility depends on how miners connect and how your pool handles difficulty updates and session behavior. We can tune vardiff and onboarding docs for external hashpower marketplaces where appropriate.

Do you provide the pool website, dashboard, and charts?

Yes. We can deliver a full branded pool website with a miner dashboard (workers, hashrate, payments), plus status pages. If you prefer an API-first deployment, we can also integrate stats into your own UI.

What do you need from me to start a ACOIN pool setup?

Your pool type (solo/private/public), expected hashrate, preferred payout model, target hosting (VPS/dedicated/cloud), and whether you want a full website UI or a minimal operational deployment. From there we propose the cleanest rollout.

ACOIN Mining Pool Setup (SHA256/SHA256d) — Operational Build Guide

ACOIN is listed here as SHA256/SHA256d. Standard ASIC miners can connect via Stratum. Use the steps below to ship a stable pool, not a fragile demo.

How an ACOIN pool actually runs in production

Treat the pool as three loops: the ACOIN node serves block templates, Stratum scores shares, and the payout layer settles balances. Reliability comes from tight RPC access, predictable wallet behavior, and clear handling for orphaned blocks.

Pool mode: Decide solo, private, or public; it changes auth and rate limits.
Accounting rules: Pick how shares convert to credits, then document it for miners.
Node + wallet: Run a dedicated daemon with monitored disk, peers, and restarts.
Share difficulty: Use VarDiff so each miner submits shares at a steady pace.

Selecting a pool engine for ACOIN workloads

Your core choice determines how you debug incidents later. For ACOIN, prioritize clear logs, repeatable configs, and easy replacement of a failed Stratum process.

Yiimp path: Good when you want the classic pool website quickly. See the Yiimp setup guide.
Miningcore path: Fits teams that prefer an API‑first service layout. See the Miningcore setup guide.
Custom build: Use this when you need custom accounting, unusual auth, or gateway routing.

Operational heads‑up

External hashpower behaves differently than farm miners. VarDiff (variable difficulty) raises or lowers share difficulty per miner to keep share rate sane, which helps when rentals arrive in bursts.

What we build and harden for an ACOIN pool

ACOIN daemon layer: Build/install, RPC authentication, wallet strategy, and health checks.
Database + retention: Plan share and block tables so cleanup never stalls the pool.
Stratum surfaces: Ports, bans, worker naming rules, and miner‑facing documentation.
Payout plumbing: Thresholds, fee logic, and a payout model (see payout schemes).SOLO/PPLNS/PROP notes.)
UI + status: A clear dashboard plus an operator status page for incidents.
Security baseline: Firewalling, least‑privilege users, and hardening (see security hardening).

If you run multiple SHA256 coins on one cluster, we isolate wallet keys and accounting per coin. That way, an ACOIN incident does not spill into BTC or other chains.

Miner endpoint examples you can copy/paste

Publish a short “how to connect” section with worker format and fallback ports. Keep examples minimal so miners do not guess.

stratum+tcp://POOL-DOMAIN:3333
stratum+ssl://POOL-DOMAIN:3443

For public pools, we also provide a longer help page covering common ASIC firmware and marketplace clients.

ACOIN‑specific checks before you open traffic

Daemon provenance: Pin the ACOIN build you deploy, then re‑test getblocktemplate after upgrades.
Wallet behavior: Validate sendmany, fee selection, and address checks on a staging wallet first.
Reorg gating: Maturity = confirmations required before a coinbase output spends; hold credits until your chosen gate is met.

ACOIN go‑live readiness checklist

ACOIN node synced, peer count stable, RPC bound and locked down.
Wallet encrypted, unlock workflow tested, backups stored offline.
Stratum ports open, VarDiff bands tuned, ban rules verified.
DB growth monitored, retention jobs scheduled, slow queries reviewed.
Payout run simulated to small addresses; edge cases logged.
Frontend shows current height, hashrate, and service health clearly.
Runbooks written for restarts, upgrades, and emergency wallet moves.

ACOIN setup: common operator questions

How do you verify ACOIN blocks before crediting shares?

We validate templates from the daemon, track found blocks, and only move credits forward after your confirmation policy is satisfied. We also keep clear orphan handling so a reorg does not create negative balances.

Can ACOIN run beside other SHA256 coins on one pool cluster?

Yes, as long as each coin gets its own daemon, wallet key material, and payout accounting. Shared infrastructure (monitoring, gateways, DB host) is fine when quotas are enforced.

What is the safest way to expose ACOIN RPC to pool services?

Keep RPC on a private interface, require authentication, and restrict by firewall rules. Treat RPC like root access to funds; audit who can reach it.

Do you tune VarDiff for mixed ASIC fleets?

Yes. We tune share targets so low‑hash and high‑hash devices both submit at a workable cadence, without flooding the database or starving block finding.

What do you need to start an ACOIN pool build?

A domain, hosting plan, your preferred payout method, and whether the pool is public or private. If you already have a daemon build, share the version and any custom flags.
