Building a ZEC private pool

Mining
1

I would like to build a private pool on my local network for ZEC, how do i go about this? pointers?

You want to setup your own stratum pool server and point your miners at it.

Yup… that’s exactly what I was thinking!

that sounds interesting for me too. maybe you can use p2pool and modify for ZEC but i am not an software developer only it system engineer. The second thing is you can spend 2.5 BTC to sammy007 for his zec-proxy…

i know some php and python … not so good in c … and just started mining less than a month ago … and definitely dont have 2.5 BTC :))) that’s actually my current target to cover what i have spent so far on my small 2 gpu’ed rig :)))

GitHub - Atrides/eth-proxy: Stratum proxy for Ethereum maybe a fork is possible from the original eth-proxy?

that looks simple but i still have yet to understand the mechanics of the entire cryptocoins communications and how things talk to each other!!!

I would suggest you to read this:

  1. How to get new work from zcashd (same API as bitcoin):
    getblocktemplate - Bitcoin Wiki

  2. Now you need to distribute somehow the work to your miners. I would suggest stratum (what everyone uses):
    zips/draft1.rst at 23d74b0373c824dd51c7854c0e3ea22489ba1b76 · str4d/zips · GitHub

  3. In the end you need to construct a valid block. The low level Zcash protocol overview:
