Stratum Proxy
Here, we'll be installing go-quai-stratum, the Go implementation of Quai Network. This tutorial is focused for Linux Distributions and MacOS systems.
Running go-quai-stratum on Windows or WSL2 is not currently supported.

For the simplest installation process, we recommend installing and running go-quai-stratum on the same computer that you're running go-quai. Running go-quai-stratum on a separate computer is for advanced users as it requires additional networking configuration.
If you've already installed go-quai, you already have all the necessary dependencies to run go-quai-stratum.
Snap Install (snapd is not installed by default on all Linux Distros):
# install snapd if you don't have it already
sudo apt install snapd
# install go
sudo snap install go --classic
MacOS Install:
brew install go
If you're not on Ubuntu or MacOS, instructions on how to install go directly can be found on the golang installation page.
Linux install:
sudo apt install git make
MacOS install:
brew install git make
Now that you've installed the base dependencies, we can go ahead and clone the go-quai-stratum repo.
To clone the go-quai-stratum repo and navigate to it, run the following commands:
git clone https://github.com/dominant-strategies/go-quai-stratum
cd go-quai-stratum
This command installs the main branch to your local machine. Unless you intend to develop, you must checkout the latest release.
You can find the latest release on the go-quai-stratum releases page. Then, check out the latest release with:
git checkout put-latest-release-here
For example (this not the latest release, check the releases page for the latest release number)
git checkout v01.2.3-rc.4
To run the Quai stratum proxy, you'll need to do some minor configuration. Start by copying the example configuration file to a local configuration file.
cp config/config.example.json config/config.json
Within the
config.json file, you'll be able to configure networking settings and other relevant variables. Before running the proxy, we need to build the source. You can build via Makefile by running the following command:
make quai-stratum
Now that we've built the source, we can start our proxy.
To run the proxy, you'll need to know the web-socket ports utilized by the shard you want to mine within the node. Web-socket ports for each shard can be found in the Node Overview page.
Pass the web-socket ports for the region and zone you'd like to point your proxy at as flags in the run command like so (replace
REGION-WS-PORT and ZONE-WS-PORT with the web-socket ports of your desired slice):./build/bin/quai-stratum --region=REGION-WS-PORT --zone=ZONE-WS-PORT
The proxy should begin streaming logs to the terminal that look similar to below.

To stop the proxy, use CTRL+C in your terminal.
quai-stratum by default listens for miner connections on port
3333.After configuring and pointing your proxy at a shard, you're now ready to point a GPU miner at it and start mining.
