GMiner v2.15 - Added support for Cuckaroo29b (BitTube) [AMD/NVIDIA]

GMiner v2.15 [Equihash/CuckooCycle/Ethash/ProgPoW/KAWPOW]

GMiner is a high-performance miner for AMD / Nvidia GPUs. The fee is 0.65% for Ethash, 5% for BBC, 5% for Cortex, 3% for Cuckaroom29, 3% for BFC, 2% for all other algorithms

Features:

Watchdog (automatic restart of the miner when the GPU crashes, the connection to the pool is lost, the miner crashes)
Failover pools (automatically connect to a failover pool when the primary pool is unavailable, support for an unlimited number of failover pools)
Energy Efficiency Calculator ( Show power consumption for each GPU, Sol / W)
SSL strat connection (optional)

Configure GMiner

Step 1: Download the miner

Download this program and unzip it. In the program folder you will find files with the extension .bat and instructions in Russian. For a quick start, just change the wallet to your .bat file. The file name is as follows: in the beginning is the name of the coin, then the pool.

Step 2: Choose a pool!

The pool rating and pool power statistics pages will help you choose a pool. For mining on some pools, registration is required.

Step 3: Virtual memory in Windows

Before starting GMiner, you need to increase the virtual memory in Windows to at least 7 GB (or better to 7.5 GB) x (Number of cards), so for a farm with 6 cards you need at least 42 GB for Cuckaroo29. For Cuckatoo31, about 8 GB on one 1080 GTX TI graphics card.

We expose the page file in the system

“ Control Panel All Control Panel Elements System – Advanced System Settings ” – “Advanced ” tab, then “Parameters “, again the tab” Advanced “.

We find the settings of the Virtual memory, click “Change”. Uncheck the option “Automatically select the size of the swap file” and put “Specify size”. Specify the desired size in MB (Example for 6 cards – 45000). Click on the “Set” button. Reboot the farm.

Configuring a .bat GMiner file

настройка батника GMiner v1.83 - улучшена Eaglesong на Nvidia

miner.exe — this argument indicates which program will be launched. Leave as is. This file should be in the same folder as the batch file
—algo grin29 — indicate the algorithm of the mined coin.
—server grin29.f2pool.com — after the –server switch, specify the address of the pool.
—port 13654 — specify the port of the pool
—user rgz — after -user, depending on the pool, either the pool login or the address of the digital wallet is indicated. In our example on f2pool, this is the login
—pass x — specify the pool password. Can be left empty if the pool does not require (x value)

Examples For a Grin coin in f2pool pool:

miner.exe --algo grin29 --server grin29.f2pool.com --port 13654 --user rgz --pass x

Examples For Grin and sparkpool pool

miner.exe --algo 150_5 --server beam.sparkpool.com --port 2222 --ssl 1 --user 2d1f865b393afa3ead1e0dd0c0307c0cbcdb8412671c86fbd0b21cfe5328b608ca5.rig0

Examples For a Beam coin

miner.exe --algo 150_5 --server beam.f2pool.com --port 5000 –ssl 1 --user 2d1f865b393afa3ead1e0dd0c0307c0cbcdb8412671c86fbd0b21cfe5328b608ca5.rgz --ssl 1

Run GMiner

Let’s run the miner. To do this, click on the file with the extension .bat with the desired coin. The program console will open. Let’s look at what information it displays to us:
