so, this is actually a new working miner with improved performance on 192/7 windows/cuda and not a scam?

We will support zergpool in GMiner v1.02

For zergpool --auto option should be added.

Hello,

"--pers" option - Personalization string for Equihash algorithm, you can pass any string, only one requirement: string should have length 8
Personalization string should be defined in coin's white paper.
Example for BitcoinZ:

Also take look to equipool, in getting started section they describe personalisation strings for many coins.

Best Regards.

Hello,

Please list all your supported -pers options. Do you have one for BitcoinZ?

nope, sorry

Is there a no fee option?

Change Log:
v3.24
+ added support of mining to ZIL pools without ZMP protocol support (ezil, k1pool, ...), miner automatically detects right scheme for ZIL connection, however you can select scheme manually: zmp://, zmp+ssl://, ethproxy+tcp://, ethproxy+ssl://, stratum+tcp:// or stratum+ssl://

v3.23
+ enable dual Kaspa mining while ZIL mining round(for Kaspa+ZIL, ETC+Kaspa+ZIL, Ergo+Kaspa+ZIL). this feature removes Kaspa hashrate drawdown while ZIL mining round, use -zildi / --zildual_intensity to changed dual intensity

v3.22
+ added support of custom OC settings for ZIL mining round, to specify custom OC settings use follow commands: --zilcclock. --zilmclock, --zilpl, --zillock_cclock, --zillock_mclock (check mine_kaspa+zil_oc.bat/.sh from archive with miner)
+ selects smaller solver size on GPUs thats not have enough memory to hold ZIL DAG (for Cortex, Grin32 and Aeternity)

v3.21
+ supports ZIL mining via ZMP protocol: single (can be combined with KASPA mining), dual (with any supported algorithm: ETC+ZIL, ERGO+ZIL, RVN+ZIL, KASPA+ZIL, CTXC+ZIL, BTG+ZIL, ...) and triple mining mode (ETC+KASPA+ZIL / ERGO+KASPA+ZIL). to enable dual/triple ZIL mining you need specify ZIL server and ZIL wallet via --zilserver and --ziluser parameters, you may specify multiple ZIL servers (failover servers). check sample .bat/.sh files in miner archive
+ improved miner stability

v3.20
+ improved compatibility with Kaspa pools (supports KStratum to support mining on Kaspa Node)
+ improved Kaspa, ETC+Kaspa, Ergo+Kaspa mining performance for GTX 10xx GPUs (up to +5% in single mining mode)

Description:
GMiner was created by a Russian group of specialists in the field of high performance computing and cryptography.
The first version of GMiner was released on September 21, 2018 and was received quite warmly among users.
Thanks to its unique developments and stability, in just six months, the miner became a favorite on the Equihash algorithms.
The miner is focused on NVIDIA and AMD platforms and supports most popular algorithms such as: Ethash, ProgPoW, KAWPOW, Equihash, CuckooCycle.
GMiner maintains a leading position in the mining of such coins as Beam, Grin, Cortex, Bitcoin Gold.
In 2020, the miner added support for Ethash, ProgPoW and KAWPOW algorithms with high performance relative to competitors.
The development team never stops at what has been achieved and achieves the maximum performance of the algorithms with the minimum power consumption, it is these qualities that distinguish GMiner from the competitors and win the hearts of users.

Miner Features:

• commission is charged continuously, and not in intervals (as in most miners), which has a positive effect on the user's profitability on PPLNS pools
• verifying generated DAG, warning when GPU overclocking is very high for Ethash, Etcash, KAWPOW and ProgPoW algorithms, helps to overclock GPU without errors
• verifying Shares on processor, warning when GPU overclocking is very high for Ethash, Etcash, KAWPOW and ProgPoW algorithms, helps to overclock GPU without errors
• DAG caching if the GPU has enough memory, DAG files are not recomputed when switching to another algorithm when mining Ethash + Zilliqa or Nicehash, which has a positive effect on user profitability
• auto selection of optimal kernels for each device on Ethash, Etcash, KAWPOW
• ability to manually select kernel on each device for Ethash, Etcash
• temperature control and stop the GPU in case of overheating
• watchdog - process-observer of state of main systems of the miner, which will restart the miner in case of crash or freeze
• mechanism to restore lost connection with pool
• support failover pools, the miner uses failover pools until the connection with the main pool is restored
• support secure connections
• support SOCKS5 proxy
• support tor network
• informative and readable tabular statistics output to console
• display of detailed information on each device (temperature, power consumption, cooler load, memory frequency, processor frequency, energy efficiency)
• parallel output of information to console and to file on disk
• built-in statistics server - remote monitoring of the miner in browser
• memory tweaks for Nvidia GPUs with GDDR5X and GDDR5 memory
• core clocks, memory clocks, core voltage, memory voltage, fan speed, power limit overclocking for Windows
• safe DAG generation for Nvidia GPUs
• automatic fan speed control for target temperature
• support charging of maintenance fee

Miner supports failover pools, if the main pool is not available, the miner switches to the failover pools, after the main pool is available, the miner will switch to it, example:
eth.2miners.com - main pool
eu1.ethermine.org and asia.sparkpool.com - failover pools

Miner supports charging of maintenance fee (maintenance fee charging after charging developers fee), example:
eth.2miners.com:2020 - maintenance fee pool
0x270686d8A5c33Ba2E584EF8e94128A07B57BcB2A - maintenance fee wallet
20 - maintenance fee percent

Miner resets mt, cclock, cvddc, mclock parameters to default values while DAG generation to avoid errors

Parameters details:
'--kernel' - allows you to choose one of several kernels, the fastest kernel is automatically selected by default.
Cores differ in performance and energy efficiency depending on the GPU model and overclocking parameters.
To set the kernel manually, pass the kernel index to the parameter.
Try to choose the best kernel for you manually by going through all the options

'--mt' - allows you to choose one of several tweaks for GPUs with GDDR5X and GDDR5 memory.
A higher value gives more performance and less stability, risk of finding invalid shares increases.
Try to check all values to determine which one suits you best.
Administrator rights required.

'--safe_dag' - allows you to choose a way to DAG generation.
In fast mode (value 1, auto for GTX GPUs) miner generates DAG as quickly as possible, DAG errors are possible at maximum overclocking.
In safe mode (value 2, auto for RTX GPUs) miner generates DAG with error control, useful for RTX cards at maximum overclocking.

'--tfan' - allows you to set a target temperature for fans.
Miner monitors temperature of GPU and actively controls the fan speed trying to hold target temperature.
'--tfan_min' and '--tfan_max' options set minimum and maximum fan speed limits.

Fast start:
To start Ethash, enter at the command line:
'--algo' - mining algorithm, in this case ethash
'--server' - pool address and port, in this case the pool is eth.2miners.com, port is 2020
'--user' - Ethash wallet and worker name, in this case wallet is 0x5218597d48333d4a70cce91e810007b37e2937b5, worker is worker1

For Ethash and Etchash algorithms, there are 2 options for stratum protocol (proxy and stratum), to explicitly specify the protocol use the '--proto' parameter, for example, to use Nicehash pool, enter in the command line:

If you have a mixed rig, you can run the miner only on CUDA devices:
or only on OpenCL devices:
or on devices of your choice, such as GPU0 GPU2 and GPU4:
the list of available GPUs can be seen by calling the following command:

For Ethash and Etchash algorithms there is a possibility of manual selection of kernels:
'--kernel 0 2 3' - kernel numbers for each device, 0 - auto kernel selection for GPU0, kernel #2 for GPU1, kernel #3 for GPU2

Also you can select one kernel for all devices:
'--kernel 5' select kernel #5 for all devices

To set temperature limits on GPU0 GPU2 and GPU4, upon reaching which mining on this device will pause until it cools down:
where 80 is the temperature limit for GPU0, 70 is the temperature limit for GPU2, 65 is the temperature limit for GPU4

To save the miner's logs to a file for later analysis:
where "c:\log.txt" is the path to the file with the miner's logs
