This is a simple pool which makes use of node-merged-pool to allow for a simple merged mining solution

Quick Start

0. Clone this repository
1. Gather dependencies:

npm install merged-pooler-portal

0. Set coin configurations
1. Copy config.json.example to config.json.
2. Edit config.json as needed.
