Extremly tired of searching this xvg mining pools that actually work/steal Sad

. If there is anybody that has knowledge of setting up one just for blake2s mining pool i can provide a server for it and pay for creating/maintance. Unfortunatly i have limited knowledge of linux and even less time to do it.....

Creating something like a mining pool without linux knowledge could lead to big problems - especially regarding security.
Also I'm not sure which specs the server needs but I don't think the hardware of already existing pools is that bad - I think there are just too many miners so I guess the needed server could be very expensive.

Hardware is not so important, except the CPU. You need to secure it, just running it behind your router's firewall won't help you. Then you need DDOS protection - as soon as you start getting more miners, the big whales will kill you with regular and syncronized attacks. The ISP bandwidth is not so important as if they have IPS/IDS enabled (which will result in miners unable to connect to the pool).
People running pools for free, hoping to achieve something nowadays are doomed

Hi,

Well, seems to be pretty easy setting up a pool - doing it right now (just for fun, education and testing - won't 'publish' it) but somehow I'm bewildered there aren't more (good) pools.
DDoS protection seems to be a bigger problem - and of course the server has to be secure in general and linux experience is not bad for this. But in general it still seems to be easy.

https://github.com/tpruvot/yiimp seems to be a good basis - at least all XVG pools seem to use it.
