ethminer Ethereum miner with OpenCL, CUDA and stratum support

ethminer is an OpenSource Ethereum GPU miner. It is actively maintained.

Features

• OpenCL mining (AMD + Nvidia)
• CUDA mining (Nvidia)
• Stratum and Getwork support with failover
• Windows, Linux and osx support

Usage

ethminer is a command line program. You need to launch it either from a Windows command prompt or Linux console. For easier handling you also can create Windows batch/cmd files or a Linux Batch script.

Full list of all available commands:

./ethminer --help or ethminer.exe --help

Sample usages

Nanopool, CUDA, stratum with hashrate reporting on windows

ethminer.exe -RH -SP 1 -U -S eth-eu1.nanopool.org:9999 -O <YOUR-ACCOUNT>.rig

Nanopool, OpenCL, getwork on linux

./ethminer -G -F http://eth-eu1.nanopool.org:8888/<YOUR-ACCOUNT>.rig

Ethermine, Mixed GPUs, stratum with hashrate reporting on windows

ethminer.exe -RH -X -S eu2.ethermine.org:4444 -O <YOUR-ACCOUNT>.rig

Ethermine, CUDA, enabled api in read-only, stratum with hashrate reporting on windows

ethminer.exe --api-port -3333 -RH -U -S eu2.ethermine.org:4444 -O <YOUR-ACCOUNT>.rig

Basic JSON-RPC API

Since version 0.12 ethminer supports basic api support for stats and if not in read-only mode to restart the miner remotely. You need to start ethminer with --api-port <portnum> to enable the api.

Use a positive number like --api-port 3333 to enable read-write mode or a negative number like --api-port -3333 in read-only mode. Both samples enable the api on port 3333.

The api itself is claymore miner compatible. So you should be able to use any monitoring tool supporting that protocol.

For example:

• Ethman shipped with Claymore on Windows
• Ethmon (needs a small patch)

You also can send the raw messages to the port to get a json response:

Stats: {"id":0,"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"miner_getstat1"}

Restart miner: {"id":0,"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"miner_restart"}
