That was my main goal, to support the community. I have no overhead costs, so there would be no fees. The server are integrated into the network with fiber lines in a pristine data center environment set to a cool 60F. And like I said, I have several servers to I could create various pools. Perhaps a P2Pool would have to suffice, they are easier to set up after all, though I really do like the look of the frontend from that script. :P

So, I’d like to set up an FTC pool because I have a few servers lying around that I can set up as a cluster with redundant ISPs, however, I am not entirely sure how to go about it. For starters, I do like the look of the PPLNS pools that have become very popular; well, that script in particular (mmcFE: https://github.com/chargr/mmcFE-litecoin).

Anyways, lets say for all intensive purposes I was only going to set this up on one server. What OS should I use? Ubuntu Server? Windows Server? (I do like WS) And then what would be the general steps to take after that? I haven’t been able to find a nicely outlined tutorial and for the sake of saving time, I figured I’d ask quick while I do some research on my own. What modifications need to be made to support FTC (or any other scrypt coin, ie, CNC)?

Essentially, I am looking for somebody to kind of walk me through the general process. I hate to resort to this, but I had attempted to install a pool on one of my CentOS boxes with cPanel but I ran into several issues with the SQL import and syntax errors. The SQL looked fine and even after trying to manually reconstruct the tables, I could not get it to function properly.

Anyways, thank you in advance!
