This is a lightweight daemon that allows mining to a local (or remote) spectre node using stratum-base miners. It is up to the community to build a stratum based miner, the original built-in miner is using gRPC interface.
Shares-based work allocation with miner-like periodic stat output:
===============================================================================
worker name | avg hashrate | acc/stl/inv | blocks | uptime
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ghostface | 12.62KH/s | 6/0/0 | 6 | 17h36m38s
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total | 12.62KH/s | 6/0/0 | 6 | 17h36m46s
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Network Hashrate: 138.40MH/s
======================================================== spr_bridge_v0.3.16 ===
Multiple miners with significantly different hashrates can be connected to the same stratum bridge instance, and the appropriate difficulty will automatically be decided for each one. Default settings target 15 shares/min, resulting in high confidence decisions regarding difficulty adjustments, and stable measured hashrates (1hr avg hashrates within +/- 10% of actual). The minimum share difficulty is 12 and optimized for CPUs mining SpectreX.
solo_mining: If set to true, stratum's variable difficulty (vardiff)
calculations are bypassed, and network difficulty is used instead.
Over several days, the hashrate will essentially reflect your raw luck, as only
successfully mined blocks impact the hashrate estimates. This makes it a useful
way to gauge luck. :)
If you prefer more frequent hashrate updates based on submitted shares, you'll
need to leave solo_mining set to false.
The grafana monitoring UI is an optional component but included for convenience. It will help to visualize collected statistics.
If the app is run with the -prom={port} flag the application will host
stats on the port specified by {port}, these stats are documented in
the file prom.go. This is intended to be use
by prometheus but the stats can be fetched and used independently if
desired. curl http://localhost:2114/metrics | grep spr_ will get a
listing of current stats. All published stats have a spr_ prefix for
ease of use.
Install go 1.19 or later using whatever package manager is approprate for your system, or from https://go.dev/doc/install.
cd cmd/spectrebridge
go build .
Modify the config file in ./cmd/spectrebridge/config.yaml with your setup,
the file comments explain the various flags.
./spectrebridge
Best option for users who want access to reporting, and aren't already using Grafana/Prometheus. Requires a local copy of this repository, and docker installation.
Install Docker using the appropriate method for your OS. The docker commands below are assuming a server type installation - details may be different for a desktop installation.
The following will run the bridge assuming a local spectred node with default port settings, and listen on port 5555 for incoming stratum connections.
git clone https://github.com/spectre-project/spectre-stratum-bridge.git
cd spectre-stratum-bridge
docker compose -f docker-compose-all-src.yml up -d --build
These settings can be updated in the config.yaml
file, or overridden by modifying, adding or deleting the parameters in the
command section of the docker-compose-all-src.yml file. Additionally,
Prometheus (the stats database) and Grafana (the dashboard) will be
started and accessible on ports 9090 and 3000 respectively. Once all
services are running, the dashboard should be reachable at
http://127.0.0.1:3000/d/z73gHk89e1/sprb-monitoring with default
username and password admin.
These commands builds the bridge component from source, rather than
the previous behavior of pulling down a pre-built image. You may still
use the pre-built image by replacing docker-compose-all-src.yml with
docker-compose-all.yml, but it is not guaranteed to be up to date, so
compiling from source is the better alternative.
