>>> Introduction <<<
This is a CUDA accelerated mining application for use with
HeavyCoin and FugueCoin. We did not take effort on 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
heavy use to mine Heavycoin
fugue256 use to mine Fuguecoin
-o, --url=URL URL of mining server (default: " DEF_RPC_URL ")
-O, --userpass=U:P username:password pair for mining server
-u, --user=USERNAME username for mining server
-p, --pass=PASSWORD password for mining server
-v, --vote Heavycoin block vote (default: 512)
--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)
-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)
--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, --background run the miner in the background
--benchmark run in offline benchmark mode
-c, --config=FILE load a JSON-format configuration file
-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
cudaminer.exe -t 1 -a heavy -o stratum+tcp://stratum01.heavycoinpool.com:5333 -u <<username.worker>> -p <<workerpassword>> -v 512
Example for Heavycoin Mining on hvc.1gh.com with a dual gpu in your system
cudaminer.exe -t 2 -a heavy -o stratum+tcp://hvcpool.1gh.com:5333 -u <<WALLET>> -p x -v 512
Example for Fuguecoin solo-mining with 4 gpu's in your system and a Fuguecoin-wallet running on localhost
cudaminer.exe -q -s 1 -t 4 -a fugue256 -o http://localhost:9089 -u <<myusername>> -p <<mypassword>>
For solo-mining you typically use -o 127.0.0.1:xxxx where xxxx represents
the RPC portnumber specified in your wallet's .conf file and you have to
pass the same username and password with -O as specified in the wallet's
.conf file. The wallet must also be started with the -server option and
the server flag in the wallet's .conf file set to 1
>>> Additional Notes <<<
This code should be running on nVidia GPUs ranging from compute capability
2.0 up to compute capability 3.5. Just don't expect any hashing miracles
from your old clunkers.
>>> RELEASE HISTORY <<<
March, 18 2014 initial release.
