This release supports:
- very fast CPU implementation (up to 40 Sol/s on i7-6700K CPU @ 4.00GHz), based on xenoncat solvers
- support for NVIDIA GPUs, based on Tromp solvers
- (beta) support for AMD GPUs, based on Tromp solvers, ported by eXtremal to OpenCL
Run with "-h" parameter to learn possible commands. By default, miner uses all CPU cores and no GPU devices. You need to explicitly enable GPU devices (setting "-cd" parameter for NVIDIA or "-od" parameter for AMD). If you wish to mine only with GPUs and no CPU, you must explicitly set "-t 0".
Miner auto detects CPU extensions (SSE2, AVX1 or AVX2) and uses appropriate miner.
PLEASE note: if you have issues with AMD, try deleting .bin files!
!!! SPECIAL NOTE !!! There are two miner binaries included in the release package:
- nheqminer.exe is used to mine on NiceHash.com service as a hashing power seller; you will be paid in Bitcoins, use your Bitcoin address as username
- nheqminer_zcash.exe is used to mine on Zcash by NiceHash ZEC pool; you will be paid in ZEC, use your Zcash address as username
Examples:
- Mine on NiceHash.com service as a hashing power seller, using CPU and NVIDIA GPU, using USA location:
nheqminer.exe -l usa -u BTC-ADDRESS -t 6 -cd 0
In this example we have a quad-core CPU with hyper-threading (8 threads available) and only one NVIDIA GPU in the computer. We are mining with 6 threads on the CPU and on the whole NVIDIA GPU.
- Mine on Zcash by NiceHash ZEC pool, using CPU and AMD GPUs, using EU location:
nheqminer_zcash.exe -l eu -u ZEC-ADDRESS -t 6 -od 0 1
In this example we have a quad-core CPU with hyper-threading (8 threads available) and two AMD GPUs in the computer. We are mining with 6 threads on the CPU and on both AMD GPUs.
All of the available locations are "usa" (USA), "eu" (EUROPE), "jp" (Japan), "hk" (Hong Kong).
