Because it was really difficult for me to find this file initially because its original download location has a broken link, I put the Stratum Proxy up on my Media Fire account. This is the Windows version, btw.
A big thanks to whomever originally gave it to me! I was unable to get the blades working at all until I set them up with the proxy. The deprecation of the Getwork protocol has pretty much required that you have a separate computer running a stratum proxy for your blades.
http://www.mediafire.com/download/744mhjx4fjdmvu4/mining_proxy.zipIn order to use it, I made a batch file in the folder I unzipped the program into.
1. Say you unzipped the mining_proxy.exe file into a folder on your hard drive called 'C:\bitcoin\proxy\'
2. Create a new text file in that folder called 'run.bat' (change the extension from .txt to .bat)
3. Right click on the 'run.bat' file and enter the following text: mining_proxy.exe -o stratum.btcguild.com -p 3333 (this is obviously for BTCGuild. Find the stratum server for your own pool and replace the -o parameter with that information)
4. Save the changes to your batch file.
5. Your blades should be configured with the ip address of the computer you are running the stratum proxy on. In order to determine the address of the computer, open up a command prompt (go to the start bar, type 'cmd' into the search box, and start up cmd.exe. Type in the command 'ipconfig' and hit enter. Your address will look something like the following: IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.17
5. This step was important for me. I had to turn off my blades first, then start the batch file (double click on it, as if you were running any program). Now that there is a command line window open and you can see the stratum proxy is running, power on your blades.
