PowerPool: A flexible mining server

Features

• Lightweight, asynchronous, gevent based internals.
• Built in HTTP statistics/monitoring server.
• Flexible statistics collection engine.
• Multiple coinserver (RPC server) support for redundancy. Support for coinserver prioritization.
• Redis driven share logging allows multiple servers to log shares and statistics to a central source for easy scaling out.
• SHA256, X11, scrypt, and scrypt-n support
• Support for merge mining multiple auxilury (merge mined) blockchains
• Modular architecture makes customization simple(r)
• Support for sending statistics via statsd

Uses Redis to log shares and statistics for miners. Work generation and (bit|lite|alt)coin data structure serialization is performed by Cryptokit and connects to bitcoind using GBT for work generation (or getauxblock for merged work). Currently only Python 2.7 is supported.

Built to power the SimpleMulti mining pool.
