BetaCoin (BET) Mining Pool Setup — Build, Secure, and Document
A BET pool should be built around what the daemon actually does, not what a template assumes. The workflow below emphasizes block template testing, RPC hardening, and miner documentation that reduces support load.
BET pool overview: minimize unknowns
For BET, the practical goal is deterministic behavior: templates that validate, shares that credit, and payouts that complete. Build staging tests for every RPC call you depend on, then promote configs only after those tests pass.
- RPC contract: List the exact RPC calls your pool requires.
- Block acceptance: Prove block submission works before inviting miners.
- Miner rules: Write down address/worker formats and enforce them.
- Operational limits: Set connection caps and ban thresholds to protect uptime.
BET platform selection: which stack fits your ops team
If your main risk is integration drift, choose the stack that is easiest to audit. Logs, metrics, and explicit configuration matter more than a fancy UI when BET troubleshooting starts.
- Yiimp route: Works well with the common pool + web pattern. See the Yiimp setup guide.
- Miningcore route: Works well for API automation and clean services. See the Miningcore setup guide.
- Custom integration: Used when BET needs adapters around template or wallet calls.
Some SHA256 forks support AuxPoW, also called merged mining, where one proof can secure multiple chains. If BET supports it on your branch, verify template fields and submission flow before advertising merged support.
What we configure for a BET pool deployment
- BET daemon ops: Install/build, keep peers healthy, and secure RPC.
- Share accounting: Round tracking, orphan reversal, and retention planning.
- Stratum tuning: VarDiff and ban policy tuned for your expected miner mix.
- Payout strategy: Thresholds and scheme selection (see payout schemes).how to choose SOLO vs PPLNS vs PROP.)
- Documentation + UI: Miner pages plus an operator status surface for incidents.
- Security hardening: Firewall rules and service isolation (see security hardening).
We also help you build a small “integration test pack” that hits the daemon and wallet endpoints you rely on. It makes upgrades safer for BET.
BET miner endpoints and worker name guidance
Give miners one recommended endpoint and one fallback. Make the username format explicit and include an example for popular ASIC firmware.
stratum+tcp://POOL-DOMAIN:3333
stratum+ssl://POOL-DOMAIN:3443
If you accept external hashpower, publish port purpose and reject reasons so renters can self‑diagnose.
BET‑specific technical considerations
- Template fields: Verify which fields BET requires in getblocktemplate, especially after upgrades.
- AuxPoW awareness: If BET is AuxPoW‑enabled, validate merged mining behavior in staging before you expose it.
- Wallet call behavior: Confirm how the BET wallet handles unlock, fee selection, and large batches of outputs.
BET launch checklist
- BET daemon synced; template calls stable and monitored.
- RPC credentials stored safely; access limited to pool network.
- Wallet send tests passed; unlock and backup routines confirmed.
- Stratum ports configured; VarDiff targets set; bans tested.
- Database retention active; query performance checked under load.
- Payout accounting verified; orphan reversals tested in staging.
- Miner docs published: endpoints, worker rules, reject meanings.
BET setup FAQ for pool operators
How do you test BET block submission before going public?
We run a controlled mining test, submit a block, and confirm it is recognized by the daemon and visible via block queries. That test is repeated after upgrades.
Can you integrate BET into an existing multi‑coin SHA256 pool?
Yes. We isolate BET wallets and accounting, then reuse shared infrastructure like monitoring and gateways. The goal is to keep failures contained.
How do you document BET address formats without guessing?
We use validateaddress/getaddressinfo output from your daemon and test small sends on the target network. The docs reflect observed behavior, not assumptions.
Do you help tune VarDiff and connection limits for BET?
Yes. We set targets that protect the database while keeping miners responsive, and we adjust settings based on measured share rates.
What inputs let you start a BET setup quickly?
Tell us your preferred engine, deployment region, and whether the pool is public. If you have a BET daemon build, include version, flags, and any patches.
