This application simplifies running multiple harvesters for the cryptocurrency Chia. Instead of having to do the entire process on every harvester machine this will get everything running with minimal configuration required.

This is used as a private mining pool until pools are officially supported by chia.

This is because of 2 main reasons:

• The server cannot know how many plots the miners really have
  • Pool must trust miners
• The mining rewards are stored on a wallet which is not accessible by miners
  • Miners must trust Pool

• https://github.com/Playwo/ChiaPool/wiki/Installation

Configure environment variables

• chiapoolcli_poolhost - Address of the pools webinterface, e.g. https://my-chia-pool.com/
• chiapoolcli_minerhost - Address to the miners webinterface, usually http://localhost:8888

The miner is optional, but some features will not be available if the CLI has no access to the local miner to authenticate requests.

This pool uses 2 keys, one for farming and one for storing rewards. You can read about how it works here. This is enabled by default, you only need to add your keys to the node.env file.
