StellaPool - Riecoin mining pool software

Post by Pttn »

StellaPool is a Riecoin mining pool software, designed as a starting point for new pool operators. It was written from scratch with a C++ backend and a PHP frontend and provides the main features that one would expect from a mining pool. StellaPool also propose an innovative PoW Credits (PoWc) feature, which distributes points to miners that can be "consumed" for services. PoWc are also designed to replace Captchas.

It has been a while that I worked on it for my Riecoin pool, and also a while that I thought about using PoW as Captcha replacement. It would certainly be annoying to wait for the CPU to produce a required PoW while submitting a form, so a solution would be to "store" the PoW for later use, which a Riecoin pool can do very well. An improvement of this system would be to design a whole PoWc blockchain and protocol as the services still have to trust the pools.
Alternatively, RIC could have directly been used instead of PoWc, but most would certainly not pay actual money to replace Captchas, and this does not prevent a spammer from accumulating a lot of RIC.
PoWc can also simply be used by the pool for rewards or so.

StellaPool replaces NOMP-RIC, which I will no longer maintain.

PoWc can be earned in my pool and consumed in the Riecoin Faucet. Use this code if you want to create your own PoW Faucet or integrate the PoWc system somewhere else. I also invite other pool operators to implement the PoWc system.
