I am looking to create a mining pool in the very near future.  I saw some posts on these forums about it, but they were fairly dated.  I thought I saw previously that Antpool had a cloud template available for standing up your own mining pool, but I cannot find any details at this point.  I already have the mining infrastructure available so that is not of a concern.  Let me know if anyone has any feedback or if anyone might be interested in collaborating on this project.
