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/releasesThey 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:
https://siatalk.slack.com/messages/mining/details/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 ...
