ZelCash ZelHash (Based on Equihash 125/4) OpenCL Miner

Usage

One Liner Examples

Linux: ./zelhash-opencl-miner --server <hostName>:<portNumer> --user <walletAddr or userName> --devices <deviceList>
Windows: ./zelhash-opencl-miner.exe --server <hostName>:<portNumer> --user <walletAddr or userName>  --devices <deviceList>

Parameters

--server

Passes the address and port of the pool the miner will mine on to the miner. The pool address can be an IP or any other valid server address.

--user

This parameter is used to pass the wallet to mine on or the pool user name to the miner.

--pass (Optional)

If the pool requires a password to the username, this can be used to pass it to the miner.

--devices (Optional)

Selects the devices to mine on. If not specified the miner will run on all devices found on the system. For example to mine on GPUs 0,1 and 3 but not number 2 use --devices 0,1,3 To list all devices that are present in the system and get their order start the miner with --devices -2 . Then all devices will be listed, but none selected for mining. The miner closes when no devices were selected for mining or all selected miner fail in the compatibility check.

How to build

Windows

Install Visual Studio >= 2017 with CMake support.
Download and install Boost prebuilt binaries https://sourceforge.net/projects/boost/files/boost-binaries/1.68.0/boost_1_68_0-msvc-14.1-64.exe, also add BOOST_ROOT to the Environment Variables.
Download and install CUDA Toolkit https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-downloads
Add .../boost_1_68_0/lib64-msvc-14.1 to the System Path.
Open project folder in Visual Studio, select your target (Release-x64 for example, if you downloaded 64bit Boost and OpenSSL) and select CMake -> Build All.
Go to CMake -> Cache -> Open Cache Folder -> zel-opencl-miner (you'll find zel-opencl-miner.exe).

Linux (Ubuntu 16.04)

Install gcc7 boost packages.

  sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/test
  sudo apt update
  sudo apt install g++-7 libboost-all-dev -y

Set it up so the symbolic links gcc, g++ point to the newer version:

  sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/gcc gcc /usr/bin/gcc-7 60 \
                           --slave /usr/bin/g++ g++ /usr/bin/g++-7 
  sudo update-alternatives --config gcc
  gcc --version
  g++ --version

Install OpenCL

  sudo apt install ocl-icd-* opencl-headers

Install latest CMake

  wget "https://cmake.org/files/v3.12/cmake-3.12.0-Linux-x86_64.sh"
  sudo sh cmake-3.12.0-Linux-x86_64.sh --skip-license --prefix=/usr

Go to zel-opencl-miner project folder and call cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release . && make -j4.
You'll find zel-opencl-miner binary in bin folder.
