Working with Proxy Ports

Proxy Port Structure

• Port — the entry point for miners. HashCore Proxy can accept connections on multiple ports simultaneously. Each port is configured independently and can serve a large number of miners.
• Proxy groups — an intermediate balancing layer. Load between groups is distributed by weight.
• Pools — specific mining pools within a group. The first pool is primary, the rest are backups (Failover).

Creating a Proxy Port

1. Click the + New proxy port button.

The "Proxy port configs" modal window will open.

2. Fill in the main parameters:
   • Name — port name (up to 28 characters), used for identification in Grafana.
   • Port — port number for miner connections (working range: 3000–4000).
   • Submission rate — share submission frequency to the pool. Default: 5 (1 share every 5 seconds). Specified in seconds between shares:
     • 5 — 1 share every 5 seconds
     • 10 — 1 share every 10 seconds
     • 2 — 1 share every 2 seconds

     In the YAML file, the same parameter is specified as frequency: submission_rate: 0.2 = 1/5.

   • Aggregation — number of miners per pool connection. Default: 200, maximum: 255.
     • aggregation: 10 with 68 miners → 7 connections to pool
     • aggregation: 255 with 68 miners → 1 connection to pool
   • Mining algorithm — sha256d (Bitcoin/SHA-256D) or scrypt (Litecoin/Scrypt).
3. Add at least one pool to each Proxy Group.

   ⚠️ If a group has no pools, clicking Save will show: "Pool group must have at least one pool"

4. Click Save.

After saving, the port will appear with Inactive status. To activate, click ⋮ → Enable.

Managing a Proxy Port

1. In the ports list, click ⋯ to the right of the port.
2. From the context menu:
   • Enable/Disable — toggle port on/off
   • Edit — open settings
   • Delete — delete the port

Settings are applied automatically without restarting the system.
