For stratum mining pool i dont understant one think
I should first have this proxy runned or it can work normaly without it ?
since no much documenation about mining pool(for proxy yes i tryed proxy for other pool and it works) i dont understand how stratum mining pool works, i downloaded it and i only have config file, dont understand even how to turn it on, so i would like to ask here?

Josh,

If you are just looking to connect to a pool with stratum then just use cgminer (It supports it internally, so no extra steps.)

If you are looking to run your own solo pool:
Slush's stratum pool is kept very simple and is for pool software writers. I've forked it and made it a little more suitable for fulltime use (added things like db support, stats page, basic install instructions, etc...) it's at: https://github.com/generalfault/stratum-mining

If you are looking to connect non-stratum aware miners to a stratum pool then use the proxy.
