Miningpool module

[goodthebest]

@lukechampine @alexfreska @eddiewang @ChrisSchinnerl @Didrole hey folks, any miningpool module for sia? There used to be toastpool repo that would work with mining pool but that's outdated already. Any clue where I can get siad working with p flag?

Hi there. I spent some time trying to bring the toastpool repo up to date, but unfortunately they made a number of changes to the core packages, so the code has diverged a lot and the merge is horrendous; it would take quite a long time just to get it compiling again, let alone working properly. :/

Perhaps someday we can dedicate Foundation resources towards developing an official mining pool implementation. In the meantime, the only advice I can give is to ask around in the Sia Discord. There might be someone there who can point you towards an actively-maintained implementation.

@lukechampine thanks man for the response.

1. How one can solo mining directly with the node?
2. What's sia's discord link?

For solo mining, you can use the /miner API endpoints: https://api.sia.tech/#miner-header-get

Our Discord is https://discord.gg/sia. I recommend asking around in the #mining channel. 👍🏻
