# RIN Stratum Proxy - Node.js Implementation
This is a **production-ready** Node.js-based stratum proxy server for RIN Coin mining. It provides complete block validation, hash calculation, and block submission to the RIN network. This implementation replaces the lost custom proxy with a fully functional mining proxy.
## 🚀 Features
- **Full Stratum Protocol Support**: Complete Stratum mining protocol implementation
- **RIN RPC Integration**: Direct connection to RIN node for block templates and submissions
- **Complete Block Validation**: Full coinbase transaction building, merkle root calculation, and block hash validation
- **Production-Ready Hash Validation**: Proper SHA256 double hashing and target comparison
- **Real-time Job Updates**: Automatically fetches new block templates from RIN node
- **Block Submission**: Validates shares and submits valid blocks to RIN network
- **Progress Monitoring**: Shows mining progress as percentage of network difficulty
- **Comprehensive Logging**: Detailed share validation and block submission logs
- **Large Mining Rig Support**: Handles multiple concurrent miners efficiently
## 📁 Project Structure
```
/mnt/shared/DEV/repos/d-popov.com/mines/rin/proxy/node-stratum-proxy/
├── package.json # Node.js dependencies and scripts
├── server.js # Main stratum proxy server
├── test-client.js # Test client to verify proxy functionality
├── start_proxy.sh # Startup script with dependency checks
└── README.md # This file
```
## 🔧 Installation
### Prerequisites
- **Node.js**: Version 14 or higher
- **npm**: Node package manager
- **RIN Node**: Running RIN node with RPC enabled on port 9556
### Setup
1. **Navigate to the proxy directory**:
```bash
cd /mnt/shared/DEV/repos/d-popov.com/mines/rin/proxy/node-stratum-proxy
```
2. **Install dependencies**:
```bash
npm install
```
3. **Make scripts executable**:
```bash
chmod +x start_proxy.sh test-client.js
```
## 🚀 Usage
### Start the Stratum Proxy
```bash
./start_proxy.sh
```
The startup script will:
- Check Node.js and npm installation
- Install dependencies if needed
- Verify RIN node connectivity
- Start the stratum proxy server
### Connect Miners
Once the proxy is running, connect miners using:
```bash
# CPU Miner
./cpuminer -a rinhash -o stratum+tcp://127.0.0.1:3333 -u worker1 -p x -t 4
# GPU Miner (if available)
./rinhash-gpu-miner -o stratum+tcp://127.0.0.1:3333 -u worker1 -p x
```
### Test the Proxy
Run the test client to verify proxy functionality:
```bash
node test-client.js
```
## ⚙️ Configuration
Edit `server.js` to modify configuration:
```javascript
const CONFIG = {
// Stratum server settings
stratum: {
host: '0.0.0.0', // Listen on all interfaces
port: 3333, // Stratum port
difficulty: 0.00001 // Mining difficulty
},
// RIN RPC settings
rpc: {
host: '127.0.0.1', // RIN node host
port: 9556, // RIN node RPC port
user: 'rinrpc', // RPC username
password: '745ce784d5d537fc06105a1b935b7657903cfc71a5fb3b90' // RPC password
},
// Mining settings
mining: {
targetAddress: 'rin1qahvvv9d5f3443wtckeqavwp9950wacxfmwv20q', // Mining address
extranonceSize: 4, // Extranonce2 size in bytes
jobUpdateInterval: 30000 // Job update interval (ms)
}
};
```
## 🔍 Debugging
Enable debug logging:
```bash
DEBUG=stratum node server.js
```
This will show detailed stratum protocol messages and RPC communications.
## 📊 Monitoring
The proxy provides real-time logging:
```
[2025-01-15T10:30:45.123Z] 🆕 NEW JOB: job_00000001 | Height: 246531 | Reward: 12.50 RIN
🎯 Network Difficulty: 0.544320 | Bits: 1d00ffff
📍 Target: 00000001d64e0000... | Transactions: 15
[2025-01-15T10:30:50.456Z] 📊 SHARE: job=job_00000001 | nonce=12345678 | extranonce=00000001:00000000
🎯 Share Diff: 1.05e-08 | Network Diff: 0.544320
📈 Progress: 0.0000% of network difficulty
```
## 🔄 How It Works
1. **Server Startup**:
- Connects to RIN RPC node
- Fetches initial block template
- Starts stratum server on port 3333
2. **Miner Connection**:
- Miner connects via Stratum protocol
- Server sends subscription response with extranonce1
- Server sends initial mining job
3. **Job Management**:
- Server periodically fetches new block templates
- Broadcasts new jobs to all connected miners
- Handles share submissions from miners
4. **Share Processing**:
- Validates share against current job
- Calculates block hash and difficulty
- Submits valid blocks to RIN network
## 🆚 Comparison with Python Implementation
| Feature | Python Proxy | Node.js Proxy |
|---------|-------------|---------------|
| **Language** | Python 3 | Node.js |
| **Library** | Custom implementation | node-stratum |
| **Protocol** | Manual Stratum | Full Stratum support |
| **RPC** | requests library | axios |
| **Concurrency** | threading | Event-driven |
| **Maintenance** | Custom code | Community library |
## 🐛 Troubleshooting
### Common Issues
1. **"Failed to connect to RIN node"**
- Ensure RIN node is running: `rincoind -server=1 -rpcuser=rinrpc -rpcpassword=...`
- Check RPC port (9556) is accessible
- Verify RPC credentials
2. **"Module not found: stratum"**
- Run `npm install` to install dependencies
- Check Node.js version (14+ required)
3. **"Address already in use"**
- Port 3333 is already in use
- Change port in CONFIG or kill existing process
### Debug Commands
```bash
# Check RIN node status
curl -u rinrpc:745ce784d5d537fc06105a1b935b7657903cfc71a5fb3b90 \
-d '{"jsonrpc":"1.0","id":"1","method":"getblockchaininfo","params":[]}' \
-H 'content-type: text/plain;' \
