🛠️ Development Guidelines

Mining Code Standards

# Mining calculation template
def calculate_share_difficulty(target_bits: int) -> float:
    """Calculate share difficulty from target bits."""
    max_target = 0x00000000FFFF0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
    target = target_bits
    return max_target / target

def validate_share(share_data: dict) -> bool:
    """Validate submitted mining share."""
    # Share validation logic
    # Difficulty verification
    # Address verification
    return True

Database Operations

# Database operation template
async def record_share(worker_id: str, difficulty: float, timestamp: datetime):
    """Record mining share in database."""
    async with pool.acquire() as conn:
        await conn.execute(
            "INSERT INTO shares (worker_id, difficulty, timestamp) VALUES ($1, $2, $3)",
            worker_id, difficulty, timestamp
        )

🐛 Troubleshooting

Common Issues

Stratum Connection Failed

# Check stratum server status
netstat -an | grep 3333

# Test stratum connectivity
telnet pool.blgvbtc.com 3333

# Check stratum server logs
tail -f logs/stratum.log

# Check difficulty settings
curl https://pool.blgvbtc.com/api/difficulty

# Verify worker configuration
curl https://pool.blgvbtc.com/api/workers/WORKER_ID

# Check share validation logs
grep "share_rejected" logs/pool.log

Payout Delays

# Check payout queue
curl https://pool.blgvbtc.com/api/payouts/pending

# Verify Bitcoin node connectivity
bitcoin-cli getblockchaininfo

# Check payout processing logs
tail -f logs/payouts.log
