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. -a, --algo=ALGO specify the algorithm to use anime use to mine Animecoin bitcoin use to mine Bitcoin blake use to mine NEOS (Blake 256) blakecoin use to mine Old Blake 256 deep use to mine Deepcoin dmd-gr use to mine Diamond-Groestl fresh use to mine Freshcoin fugue256 use to mine Fuguecoin groestl use to mine Groestlcoin heavy use to mine Heavycoin jackpot use to mine Jackpotcoin keccak use to mine Maxcoin luffa use to mine Doomcoin mjollnir use to mine Mjollnircoin myr-gr use to mine Myriad-Groestl neoscrypt use to mine FeatherCoin nist5 use to mine TalkCoin penta use to mine Joincoin / Pentablake quark use to mine Quarkcoin qubit use to mine Qubit Algo s3 use to mine 1coin skein use to mine Skeincoin whirl use to mine Whirlcoin x11 use to mine DarkCoin x14 use to mine X14Coin x15 use to mine Halcyon x17 use to mine X17 vanilla use to mine Vanillacoin lyra2v2 use to mine Vertcoin -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 <> -p <> -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 <> -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 <> -p <> 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 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. >>> RELEASE HISTORY <<< 2015-02-01 Release 1.0, forked from tpruvot and sp-hash 2015-02-03 v1.01: bug fix for cards with compute capability 3.0 (untested) 2015-02-09 v1.02: various bug fixes and optimizations 2015-03-08 v2.00: added whirlpoolx algo (Vanillacoin), also various optimizations and bug fixes 2015-03-30 v3.00: added skein (for Myriadcoin for example) 2015-05-06 v4.00: added Neoscrypt 2015-05-15 v4.01: fixed crash after ctrl-c (Windows), fixed -g option 2015-07-06 v5.00: -g option removed, some bug fixes and optimizations 2015-07-08 v5.01: lyra2 optimization 2015-08-22 v6.00: remove Lyra2RE, add Lyra2REv2, remove Animecoin, remove yesscrypt 2016-05-03 v6.01: various bug fixes and optimizations 2016-05-12 v6.02: faster x17 and quark 2016-05-16 v7.00: added Vanillacoin, optimized blake and blakecoin, added stratum methods used by yiimp.ccminer.org 2016-05-16 v7.01 stratum.get_stats bug fix 2016-06-02 v7.02 fix default intensity for Nist5 fix power usage statistics 2016-06-11 v7.03 faster lyra2v2 >>> AUTHORS <<< Notable contributors to this application are: Christian Buchner, Christian H.
