Hey Luxor miners, we've got a new software product for you...π
Introducing Relay, a lightweight proxy server built to improve connections between Luxor Pool and our miners, particularly those with weak internet.
Why did we build Relay and what are its features?
A quick π§΅
Relay is a stratum-compatible proxy for managing large scale ASIC deployments. It can be run on a @Raspberry_Pi (or similar hardware) or the cloud.
Relay can help miners with bad internet (e.g., those in rural areas or O&G sites) lower their bandwidth and boost connectivity.
With Relay, you can:
-Have a single connection for up to 65,000 miners, thus reducing load on your farm's network
-Manage connection redundancy. If the pool disconnects, miners don't drop
-Lower bandwidth by compressing shares by up to 90%
-Improved efficiency and reduce stales
Additionally, Relay comes with customized views into stratum statistics; every share gets accounted for in our custom-built dashboards. The dashboard also supports multiple usernames for a single Relay deployment.
