BDTCOIN (BDTC) Pool Setup — Engineering Checklist and Services
BDTC pools usually run into operational issues around fee policy, wallet sends, and database churn. This guide is written for operators who want repeatable deployments and fewer payout surprises.
BDTC pool anatomy: where operators lose time
A BDTC pool is a transaction pipeline with a hashpower front end. Stratum accepts shares, the node validates blocks and transactions, and the payout wallet sends real funds. Build for observability so a fee or mempool change does not become a blind outage.
- Fee behavior: Know how the BDTC daemon chooses fees for payouts.
- Payout accounting: Decide how you record credits and reversals.
- Storage pressure: Plan retention early; shares grow quickly under load.
- Network stability: Watch peer health and chain height drift.
BDTC stack decisions: speed vs auditability
Pick the platform that matches how you plan to audit payouts. Some operators want a quick UI; others want structured APIs and exportable accounting for BDTC financial tracking.
- Yiimp deployment: Quick UI and common pool features. See the Yiimp setup guide.
- Miningcore deployment: API‑heavy approach for automation. See the Miningcore setup guide.
- Custom accounting: Useful when BDTC needs bespoke payout reports or integrations.
A payout script that ignores mempool conditions will hang or overpay. In staging, test wallet sends with different fee scenarios, and confirm you understand what the daemon does when fees are unset.
What we wire up for a BDTC pool environment
- BDTC node + wallet: Install, secure RPC, and design hot wallet funding.
- Share DB design: Tables, indexes, and pruning so BDTC shares stay queryable.
- Stratum tuning: Job timing, connection limits, and ban thresholds for noisy miners.
- Payout modeling: Pick a scheme and document it (see payout schemes).how to choose SOLO vs PPLNS vs PROP.)
- Operational UI: Expose payout queue, wallet balance, and reject breakdowns.
- Hardening + monitoring: Security plus alerts (see security hardening).
We also validate a “payout day” scenario: backlog of credits, wallet sends, and partial failures. That rehearsal is where BDTC pools commonly reveal weak spots.
BDTC miner connection strings and support docs
Keep miner examples simple, then link to deeper docs for firmware quirks. A short “known good” config saves hours of support.
stratum+tcp://POOL-DOMAIN:3333
stratum+ssl://POOL-DOMAIN:3443
If you serve both farms and rentals, document separate ports and the expected difficulty behavior for each group.
BDTC‑specific areas to verify in staging
- Fee policy: Confirm whether BDTC requires a min relay fee, and how the wallet chooses fees for sendmany.
- Indexing needs: If you need to reconcile payouts against chain activity, enable the indexing features your daemon provides and test queries before launch.
- Deposit expectations: Exchanges can require extra confirmation gates; align your crediting/payout policy with how BDTC is accepted downstream.
BDTC launch checklist for production ops
- BDTC daemon fully synced; peer set monitored and stable.
- RPC restricted to pool hosts; credentials rotated and stored safely.
- Wallet funding and payout sends tested with small batches.
- Stratum configured for disconnect storms; ban logic validated.
- Database retention configured; pruning verified in staging.
- Accounting reports exported; orphan reversal logic verified.
- Operator alerts enabled: sync lag, rejects, payout failures, disk.
BDTC pool FAQ for engineers
How do you handle BDTC payout transactions when the mempool is busy?
We design payout logic that can pause, retry, and escalate to an operator when fee behavior changes. The key is to avoid endless retries that drain a hot wallet or strand credits.
Can you help reconcile BDTC payouts against on‑chain history?
Yes. We set up indexing where supported, and we keep logs that tie payout batches to wallet txids. That makes audits and support tickets much faster.
What’s the typical failure mode for new BDTC pools?
It is usually wallet automation: missing fee settings, unexpected unlock behavior, or a payout script that assumes perfect network conditions. We test those paths explicitly.
Do you support both solo and shared‑reward BDTC pools?
Yes. We can configure SOLO, PPLNS, or PROP variants and document the behavior so miners understand variance and payout timing.
What do I provide to kick off a BDTC pool setup?
Share your infrastructure preference, whether you want Yiimp or Miningcore, and any constraints around custody and payout frequency. If you already run a BDTC node, include its config.
