Adding a new coin to YIIMP

  • First step is to get the cli wallet for the new coin installed and running on your server. We will cover installing a new wallet in a future article. This article will focus specifically on the YIIMP pool code modifications and configurations required to add a new coin.
  • Add line to yaamp.php for your coin so it matches the algo.conf port number
    • You may find your coin already listed, if so confirm the information
    • You can commonly find the yaamp.php file in /var/web/yaamp/core/functions/ directory
    • There are up to three places you may need to edit yaamp.php. Don’t be fooled into thinking there is just one edit.
  • Review/update your coin configuration file commonly found in /var/stratum/config
    • Verify all the servers, ports, passwords, etc. Commonly a transposed port # or typo in the algorithm name will cause a multitude of errors when you begin to run the stratum
  • Review the YIIMPFRONTEND database (your MariaDB/mysql server) Algos table. Be sure your coin’s algo is listed. If not see Adding a new algorithm to YIIMP.
