This application is a trust based mining pool for the cryptocurrency Chia. It works by running a harvester and farmer (no node) on each miner machine and sending all rewards to the pool address. Winning block rewards will be redistributed amongst miners. Setting up miners is simple and can be done with minimal configuration required.

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

This is because of 2 main reasons:

• The server cannot know securely measure how many plots miners really have & miners could change the reward address back to their own wallet
  • Pool must trust miners
• The mining rewards are stored on a wallet which is not directly 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.
