I was contacted to set up a pool for Sia.
Since Sia is a bit different than other coins, can someone briefly introduce me into the mining mechanism ? are you mining with clients to a main wallet via RPC or are you all just doing "in-wallet-mining" ?

Thanks for your interest!
I do not mine myself, but here are some resources to get you started:

The Sia developers have released a CPU miner, which runs "in-wallet".

There is also a GPU miner, here:
https://github.com/NebulousLabs/Sia-GPU-Miner

Binaries here:
https://github.com/NebulousLabs/Sia-GPU-Miner/releases

They say the GPU miner has some bugs, and the miner can only mine on a single GPU at a time. You can run multiple miner instances for more processors.

Chat with miners on Slack:

Thanks for the reply, i'll have a look at those links. What I need for a pool is some sort of Wallet -> Client or Client -> Wallet communication, because i'll be acting like a "proxy" with the pool.. So it looks like Client -> Pool -> Wallet ...
