>>> Introduction <<<
This is a CUDA accelerated mining application which handle :
Bitcoin
HeavyCoin & MjollnirCoin
FugueCoin
GroestlCoin & Myriad-Groestl
JackpotCoin
QuarkCoin family & AnimeCoin
TalkCoin
DarkCoin and other X11 coins
NEOS blake (256 14-rounds)
BlakeCoin (256 8-rounds)
Deep, Doom and Qubit
Keccak (Maxcoin)
Pentablake (Blake 512 x5)
S3 (OneCoin)
Skein (Skein + SHA)
Lyra2RE (new VertCoin algo)
Neoscrypt
where some of these coins have a VERY NOTABLE nVidia advantage
over competing AMD (OpenCL Only) implementations.
We did not take a big effort on improving usability, so please set
your parameters carefuly.
THIS PROGRAMM IS PROVIDED "AS-IS", USE IT AT YOUR OWN RISK!
If you're interessted and read the source-code, please excuse
that the most of our comments are in german.
>>> Command Line Interface <<<
This code is based on the pooler cpuminer 2.3.2 release and inherits
its command line interface and options.

-d, --devices gives a comma separated list of CUDA device IDs
to operate on. Device IDs start counting from 0!
Alternatively give string names of your card like
gtx780ti or gt640#2 (matching 2nd gt640 in the PC).
-i, --intensity GPU threads per call 8-31 (default: 0=auto)
Decimals are allowed for fine tuning
-f, --diff Divide difficulty by this factor (std is 1)
-v, --vote Heavycoin block vote (default: 512)
-o, --url=URL URL of mining server
-O, --userpass=U:P username:password pair for mining server
-u, --user=USERNAME username for mining server
-p, --pass=PASSWORD password for mining server
--cert=FILE certificate for mining server using SSL
-x, --proxy=[PROTOCOL://]HOST[:PORT] connect through a proxy
-t, --threads=N number of miner threads (default: number of nVidia GPUs in your system)
-g number of mining threads per GPU (default: 1)
-r, --retries=N number of times to retry if a network call fails
(default: retry indefinitely)
-R, --retry-pause=N time to pause between retries, in seconds (default: 15)
-T, --timeout=N network timeout, in seconds (default: 270)
-s, --scantime=N upper bound on time spent scanning current work when
long polling is unavailable, in seconds (default: 5)
-N, --statsavg number of samples used to display hashrate (default: 30)
--no-gbt disable getblocktemplate support (height check in solo)
--no-longpoll disable X-Long-Polling support
--no-stratum disable X-Stratum support
-q, --quiet disable per-thread hashmeter output
-D, --debug enable debug output
-P, --protocol-dump verbose dump of protocol-level activities
-b, --api-bind IP/Port for the miner API (default: 127.0.0.1:4068)
--benchmark run in offline benchmark mode
--cputest debug hashes from cpu algorithms
--cpu-affinity set process affinity to specific cpu core(s) mask
--cpu-priority set process priority (default: 0 idle, 2 normal to 5 highest)
-c, --config=FILE load a JSON-format configuration file
--no-color disable colored console output
-V, --version display version information and exit
-h, --help display this help text and exit
>>> Examples <<<
Example for Heavycoin Mining on heavycoinpool.com with a single gpu in your system
ccminer -t 1 -a heavy -o stratum+tcp://stratum01.heavycoinpool.com:5333 -u <<username.worker>> -p <<workerpassword>> -v 8
Example for Heavycoin Mining on hvc.1gh.com with a dual gpu in your system
ccminer -t 2 -a heavy -o stratum+tcp://hvcpool.1gh.com:5333/ -u <<WALLET>> -p x -v 8
Example for Fuguecoin solo-mining with 4 gpu's in your system and a Fuguecoin-wallet running on localhost
ccminer -q -s 1 -t 4 -a fugue256 -o http://localhost:9089/ -u <<myusername>> -p <<mypassword>>
Example for Fuguecoin pool mining on dwarfpool.com with all your GPUs
ccminer -q -a fugue256 -o stratum+tcp://erebor.dwarfpool.com:3340/ -u YOURWALLETADDRESS.1 -p YOUREMAILADDRESS
Example for Groestlcoin solo mining
ccminer -q -s 1 -a groestl -o http://127.0.0.1:1441/ -u USERNAME -p PASSWORD
For solo-mining you typically use -o http://127.0.0.1:xxxx where xxxx represents
the rpcport number specified in your wallet's .conf file and you have to pass the same username
and password with -O (or -u -p) as specified in the wallet config.
The wallet must also be started with the -server option and/or with the server=1 flag in the .conf file
>>> API and Monitoring <<<
With the -b parameter you can open your ccminer to your network, use -b 0.0.0.0:4068 if required.
On windows, setting 0.0.0.0 will ask firewall permissions on the first launch. Its normal.
Default API feature is only enabled for localhost queries by default, on port 4068.
You can test this api on linux with "telnet <miner-ip> 4068" and type "help" to list the commands.
Default api format is delimited text. If required a php json wrapper is present in api/ folder.
I plan to add a json format later, if requests are formatted in json too..
>>> Additional Notes <<<
This code should be running on nVidia GPUs ranging from compute capability
3.0 up to compute capability 5.2. Support for Compute 2.0 has been dropped
so we can more efficiently implement new algorithms using the latest hardware
features.
