>>> 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
groestl use to mine Groestlcoin
-d, --devices gives a comma separated list of CUDA device IDs
to operate on. Device IDs start counting from 0!
Alternatively give string names of your card like
gtx780ti or gt640#2 (matching 2nd gt640 in the PC).
-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
ccminer.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
ccminer.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
ccminer.exe -q -s 1 -t 4 -a fugue256 -o http://localhost:9089 -u <<myusername>> -p <<mypassword>>
Example for Fuguecoin pool mining on dwarfpool.com with all your GPUs
ccminer.exe -q -a fugue256 -o stratum+tcp://erebor.dwarfpool.com:3340 -u YOURWALLETADDRESS.1 -p YOUREMAILADDRESS
Example for Groestlcoin solo mining
ccminer.exe -q -s 1 -a groestl -o http://127.0.0.1:1441 -u USERNAME -p PASSWORD
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, 27 2014 Heavycoin exchange rates soar, and as a result this coin
gets some love: We greatly optimized the Hefty1 kernel
for speed. Expect some hefty gains, especially on 750Ti's!
By popular demand, we added the -d option as known from
cudaminer.
different compute capability builds are now provided until
we figure out how to pack everything into a single executable
in a Windows build.
March, 24 2014 fixed Groestl pool support
went back to Compute 1.x for cuda_hefty1.cu kernel by
default after numerous reports of ccminer v0.2/v0.3
not working with HeavyCoin for some people.
March, 23 2014 added Groestlcoin support. stratum status unknown
(the only pool is currently down for fixing issues)
March, 21 2014 use of shared memory in Fugue256 kernel boosts hash rates
on Fermi and Maxwell devices. Kepler may suffer slightly
(3-5%)
Fixed Stratum for Fuguecoin. Tested on dwarfpool.
March, 18 2014 initial release.
