Make sure to have CUDA >= v9.0 installed. CUDA 8 has compilation errors for sm_61 device.
$ sudo apt-get install cmake fasm libboost-dev libboost-system-dev libboost-log-dev libboost-thread-dev
$ git clone git@github.com:dmikushin/nheqminer.git
$ cd nheqminer
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake ..
$ make -j48
Parameters:
-h Print this help and quit
-l [location] Stratum server:port
-u [username] Username (bitcoinaddress)
-a [port] Local API port (default: 0 = do not bind)
-d [level] Debug print level (0 = print all, 5 = fatal only, default: 2)
-b [hashes] Run in benchmark mode (default: 200 iterations)
CPU settings
-t [num_thrds] Number of CPU threads
-e [ext] Force CPU ext (0 = SSE2, 1 = AVX, 2 = AVX2)
NVIDIA CUDA settings
-ci CUDA info
-cd [devices] Enable CUDA mining on spec. devices
-cb [blocks] Number of blocks
-ct [tpb] Number of threads per block
Example:
$ ./nheqminer -cd 0 2 -cb 12 16 -ct 64 128
If run without parameters, miner will start mining with 75% of available logical CPU cores. Use parameter -h to learn about available parameters:
Example to run benchmark on your CPU:
$ ./nheqminer -b
Example to mine on your CPU with your own BTC address and worker1 on NiceHash USA server:
$ ./nheqminer -l equihash.usa.nicehash.com:3357 -u YOUR_BTC_ADDRESS_HERE.worker1
Example to mine on your CPU with your own BTC address and worker1 on EU server, using 6 threads:
$ ./nheqminer -l equihash.eu.nicehash.com:3357 -u YOUR_BTC_ADDRESS_HERE.worker1 -t 6
Note: if you have a 4-core CPU with hyper threading enabled (total 8 threads) it is best to run with only 6 threads (experimental benchmarks shows that best results are achieved with 75% threads utilized)
Example to mine on your CPU as well on your CUDA GPUs with your own BTC address and worker1 on EU server, using 6 CPU threads and 2 CUDA GPUs:
$ ./nheqminer -l equihash.eu.nicehash.com:3357 -u YOUR_BTC_ADDRESS_HERE.worker1 -t 6 -cd 0 1
