EDRCoin (EDRC) SHA256/SHA256d Mining Pool Setup — Reliability‑Driven Build
Because EDRCoin is mined with SHA256/SHA256d, it fits naturally into ASIC‑based pool operations. This guide walks through the practical pieces we deploy for a reliable EDRC mining pool: node/RPC, Stratum behavior, payouts, and public documentation.
EDRC pool basics: keep the node stable and payouts provable
An EDRCoin pool needs two properties: it must accept and score shares correctly, and it must pay miners from a wallet that stays healthy under repeated batch transactions. We build for observability so you can diagnose issues quickly.
- Daemon stability: supervised services, disk planning, and alerts for sync drift keep mining aligned to the real tip.
- Wallet readiness: define backup and recovery routines; payouts should never depend on a single fragile wallet file.
- Stratum safeguards: VarDiff (variable difficulty), ban rules, and connection caps prevent noisy miners from consuming all resources.
- Truthful stats: website and API should reflect the same ledger so miner disputes are resolvable with data.
EDRC pool core selection: Yiimp, Miningcore, or bespoke
EDRC can be delivered on standard SHA256 pool engines. The key is choosing what you want to operate day-to-day: UI workflows, API integrations, or custom ledgering.
- Yiimp-based: A good choice for fast deployment with a familiar UI; follow the Yiimp setup guide guidance when you want the classic miner dashboard.
- Miningcore: Best for service separation and API-first architecture; the Miningcore setup guide approach gives a clean starting point for production tuning.
- Custom stack: Choose custom when you require specialized accounting, custom miner auth, or multi-region Stratum design.
Launch day goes better when you can see what’s happening: node tip, template freshness, share accepts/rejects, and payout transaction states.
EDRC pool setup scope: from daemon to dashboard
- EDRC node layer: install/build, supervised services, and RPC restricted to pool services only.
- Pool core + database: share persistence, block tracking, and retention aligned with expected throughput.
- Stratum endpoints: ports, VarDiff (variable difficulty) tuning, bans/limits, and miner docs with clear worker rules.
- Payout pipeline: wallet signing flow, batch strategy, and payout model selection (see payout schemes and how to choose SOLO vs PPLNS vs PROP).
- Website UI: miner dashboard, earnings, payments, and a status page tied to true component health.
- Security hardening: secrets handling, backups, firewalling, and monitoring patterns (see security hardening).
We validate EDRC operation with a closed rehearsal: collect shares, process a payout cycle, and reconcile the wallet transactions against the pool’s ledger before taking outside traffic.
EDRC miner endpoints and worker-format examples
Use a small, consistent set of endpoints and keep examples copy‑paste friendly. When ports are unclear, miners guess—and support gets noisy.
stratum+tcp://POOL-DOMAIN:3333
stratum+ssl://POOL-DOMAIN:3443Include a short note about reject causes (wrong address, stale shares, wrong port) so miners can correct issues without waiting on support.
EDRC operational notes: confirmations, wallet ops, and monitoring
- Confirmation buffer: choose a consistent crediting rule and keep it visible so miners understand payout timing.
- Template freshness: alert on stale templates; it’s often the first indicator of node trouble.
- Backup drills: periodically restore/rescan in a safe environment to confirm wallet recovery is real.
EDRC launch checklist (operator verification steps)
- EDRC node synced, restart-safe, and monitored; alerts cover stalled tip and disk/peer anomalies.
- RPC locked down; wallet methods available only to the payout service with protected credentials.
- Stratum ports tested across miners; VarDiff and ban rules verified under reconnect pressure.
- Database backup and restore workflow confirmed; share retention policies set.
- Payout flow rehearsed with small-value payments; wallet txs reconcile to pool balances.
- Dashboard and API show consistent balances and payment history; status page reflects real health.
- Operator runbook prepared with incident steps (node stall, wallet rescan, rollback).
EDRC pool FAQ for engineers
Do you deploy redundant EDRC nodes for safety?
When uptime requirements justify it, yes. We can run multiple nodes and monitor template freshness so the pool can fail over cleanly if one daemon misbehaves.
How do you test EDRC payouts before taking public miners?
We run a closed cycle: shares → balances → payout batch → confirmation tracking. That proves the ledger and the wallet signing flow agree.
Can EDRC be hosted as a private pool first?
Yes. A private launch reduces risk while you validate monitoring, payouts, and wallet recovery steps.
What does VarDiff mean for EDRC miners?
VarDiff is variable difficulty. The pool adjusts share difficulty per miner to keep submission rates predictable and database load stable.
What do you need from me to start an EDRC pool build?
Provide your expected hashrate, pool type, preferred engine, hosting details, and whether you want ongoing managed operations.
