High performance Stratum poolserver in Node.js for merged mining
High performance Stratum poolserver in Node.js. One instance of this software can startup and manage multiple coin pools, each with their own daemon and stratum ports.
This software has been modefied for merged mining. It is still in development.
This is a module for Node.js that will do nothing on its own. Unless you're a Node.js developer who would like to handle stratum authentication and raw share data then this module will not be of use to you.
This server was built to be more efficient and easier to setup, maintain and scale than existing stratum poolservers which are written in python. Compared to the spaghetti state of the latest stratum-mining python server, this software should also have a lower barrier to entry for other developers to fork and add features or fix bugs.

Create the configuration for your coin:
Possible options for algorithm: sha256, scrypt, scrypt-jane, scrypt-n, quark, x11, keccak, blake,
skein, groestl, fugue, shavite3, hefty1, qubit, or sha1.
var myCoin = {
"name": "Dogecoin",
"symbol": "DOGE",
"algorithm": "scrypt",
"nValue": 1024, //optional - defaults to 1024
"rValue": 1, //optional - defaults to 1

"reward": "POS", //optional - Used for hybrid POW/POS coins
/* Magic value only required for setting up p2p block notifications. It is found in the daemon
source code as the pchMessageStart variable.

"peerMagic": "fbc0b6db" //optional
"peerMagicTestnet": "fcc1b7dc" //optional
};
If you are using the scrypt-jane algorithm there are additional configurations:
const myCoin = {
"name": "Energi",
"symbol": "NRG",
"algorithm": "nrghash",
"chainStartTime": 1375801200, //defaults to 1367991200 (YACoin) if not used
"nMin": 6, //defaults to 4 if not used
"nMax": 32 //defaults to 30 if not used
};
If you are using the scrypt-n algorithm there is an additional configuration:
var myCoin = {
"name": "Execoin",
"symbol": "EXE",
"algorithm": "scrypt-n",
/* This defaults to Vertcoin's timetable if not used. It is required for scrypt-n coins that
have modified their N-factor timetable to be different than Vertcoin's. */

}
};
If you are using the keccak algorithm there are additional configurations (The rare normalHashing keccak coins
such as Copperlark and eCoin don't appear to work yet - only the popular ones like Maxcoin are):
var myCoin = {
"name": "eCoin",
"symbol": "ECN",
"algorithm": "keccak",

require it to be set to true. Maxcoin and most others are false. */
