Attention all Pool Operators:

We have added stratum support for aptcoin to the stratum-mining module.  All of the code is in github, and the easiest way to get it is as follows:

https://github.com/aptcoin/stratum-mining.git

Follow normal pool setup instructions (for example the MPos quickstart guide), but using our stratum-mining module instead.  The steps differ only a little bit:

cd stratum-mining
git submodule init
git submodule update

cd externals/aptcoin_scrypt
sudo python setup.py install

cd ../stratum
sudo python setup.py install

Then add your config file to stratum-mining/conf/config.py (be sure to specify 'scrypt-nm' instead of 'scrypt' though) and start the pool.

This does not affect the pool front end that you're using.

This does not require a new Aptcoin release, however it won't hurt to update your CPUminer if you're going to mine against a pool.  Our version is here:

https://github.com/aptcoin/cpuminer.git
