[ANN] Bminer: a fast Equihash miner for CUDA GPUs (5.4.0)

[alirahmat88]

Bminer is a highly optimized Equihash miner that runs on modern NVIDIA GPUs (Maxwell and Pascal, i.e. GPUs that have compute capability 5.0 or above). Bminer is the fastest publicly available Equihash miners today. It features a completely restructured algorithm to maximize the stream processor occupancy and the instruction pipeline efficiency. It realizes the full potentials of Pascal GPU cards.

Bminer also comes with REST APIs to facilitate production deployments (e.g., mining farms).

Similar to other miners, Bminer contains 2% devfee.

Features

Fast

735-745 Sol/s on GTX 1080Ti
450-460 Sol/s on GTX 1070
315-325 Sol/s on GTX 1060
On stock settings

Secure and reliable

SSL support
Automatic reconnects to recover from transient network failures
Automatic restarts if GPUs hang

Operation friendly

Comes with REST APIs to facilitate production deployments


Quickstart

To mine Zcash on nanopool:

Download and extract Bminer into a folder (e.g. C:\bminer or /home/bminer)
Edit mine.bat (mine.sh on Linux) and change the address to the desired Zcash address that Bminer mines towards.
Open command line prompt and run mine.bat (mine.sh).
Enjoy mining Smiley
