A must-see for miners: why is your mining pool data always getting snagged?
Recently, a mining owner confided in me that their miners were frequentlyNode synchronization delayI'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do that. Once because of the loss of packets, the entire mining pool did not produce blocks for three days, and directly lost a dozen bitcoins. In fact, this kind of problem is 80% related to theIP qualityRelated - It's like filling water with a leaky spoon, even the best equipment is good for nothing.
The traditional practice is to let the miner connect directly to the mining pool server, but this is equivalent to sticking your own door number on the packet. Not only is it easy to be flagged as abnormal traffic, but it can also result in theKey Data Intercepted. Especially when transmitting across borders, network censorship in some regions acts like a sieve, specializing in encrypted traffic.
IP Camouflage: Making Packets Play Hide and Seek
Here's a wild idea: use ipipgo's residential agent as adata relay. This is done in three steps:
1. Group mining machines to bind IPs in different regions
2. Setting random switching intervals (10-30 minutes recommended)
3. Configure the whitelist to allow only the mining pool server to backhaul
Take the measured data from a North American mining pool, after using dynamic residential IPs:
| norm | direct connection | Forwarding agent |
|---|---|---|
| packet loss | 18% | 2.3% |
| delayed swing | ±300ms | ±80ms |
| Synchronization success rate | 72% | 98% |
Choosing an IP is like finding a date: look for inner beauty
Comparison of three common IP types on the market:
Server Room IP-Fast but easily recognized (mining pools hate this)
Mobile IP-Addresses are erratic (good for guerrilla)
Residential IP--Real Home Networking (recommending ipipgo's 90 million + resources)
Here's the kicker: ipipgo supportProtocol-level camouflageThe first thing you can do is to disguise the miner traffic as HTTPS requests from ordinary home devices. It's like putting plainclothes on a packet, so it won't be singled out for inspection when going through security.
Handy Configuration Guide
Take mainstream mining software for example:
1. Created in the ipipgo consoleAPI key
2. Download the proxy client for the corresponding system
3. Find the network configuration in the miner's settings
4. Fill in the proxy address and port (note that the socks5 protocol should be selected)
5. Enable automatic IP rotation
There's a pit to watch out for:Don't open the global agent.! Just proxy the domain name related to the mining pool. Once a mining pool to Windows update traffic also go proxy, the result of three days to use up 2TB of traffic, purely to ipipgo send money.
Frequently Asked Questions QA
Q: Does using a proxy reduce arithmetic?
A: Arithmetic depends on the hardware, proxies only affect network quality. Pick ipipgo just because their residential IP comes with thenetwork priority channelThe measured latency is lower than a direct connection
Q: How can I prevent my IP from being hacked by the mining pool?
A: three tips: ① each time you submit the task to change the IP ② disable the high-risk area IP segment ③ with ipipgoIP Health DetectionFunctionality auto-filtering
Q: How does docking multiple mining pools at the same time work?
A: It is recommended to assign exclusive IP groups to each mining pool. For example:
- Texas Residential IP for North American Mining Pools
- European Mining Pool Tied to Dutch IP
- Asia Mining Pool Cut Japan Line
This avoids stringing and is consistent with the principle of geographical proximity
In the end, the choice of the right proxy service provider will be half of the success. ipipgo support for all protocols to access this point is very critical, some of the old miners are still using the SSH protocol to transmit data, the ordinary proxy can not be brought. Recently, their newIntelligent RoutingThe function is even more evil, it can automatically select the exit node with the best network condition, miners can try it.
