Update - Pool Owners' Agreement
The up-to-date version of Pool Owners’ Agreement can be found on our Wiki.
Due to the recent events the following recommendations and decisions have been made by the community and developer team.
Only use pools listed in the whitelist. Even though it’s very restraining in its current state, using only approved pools is vital for the health of the network. For now, every submission regarding whitelist addition will be audited, and only one pool will be added to whitelist per week. This will continue until the network is fully stable. The following requirements have to be fulfilled in order to apply for a pool:
- No private pools
- A public frontend would be appreciated. If you don’t want to add one, please provide at least:
- Pool state must be exposed in real time (maximum interval time: one minute) by HTTP.
- Pool stats must be exposed in real time (maximum interval time: one minute) by HTTP.
- Pool net conn must be exposed in real time (maximum interval time: one minute) by HTTP.
- Server time zone must be set to UTC time zone.
- Must use ntpdate to synchronize time.
- Must use root or unlimited user (max open files limit set to more then 4096) to start pool process.
- Do not try to change the hardcode of max miners.
- Server configuration with 8-core CPU, 32G RAM, SSD raid0/raid10 and above.
- 1Gbit/s Internet Speed and above.
- Do not block other pools to synchronize.
- The contact person of a pool must be added to the Discord poolowner group.

Tips:
Please use UTC time and sync time on pool server with nearest source from http://www.pool.ntp.org/
ntpupdate -s servername
Please use cat /proc/cpuinfo to get CPU info.
Please use cat /proc/meminfo to get RAM info.
Please use ulimit -a to get max open file info.
Please use timedatectl get to timezone info.
Please modify /etc/security/limits.conf to set open file limit.
Example:
soft nofile 65536
hard nofile 65536
state is xdag command, export this information at least once per minute.
echo -e "state\nexit\n" | ./xdag -i > state.txt
stats is xdag command, export this information at least once per minute.
echo -e "stats\nexit\n" | ./xdag -i > stats.txt
net conn is xdag command, export this information at least once per minute.
echo -e "net conn\nexit\n" | ./xdag -i > netconn.txt
The public HTTP access links should be like these and updated at least once per minute:
Please set your firewall or iptable correctly for other pools to connect.
