The latest release of Pooler CPUMiner v2.5.2 is now available.

[BigLitleBit]

[b]Version 2.5.2 [/b]

 

- Add support Smart Resource Allocation: The program now intelligently allocates mining resources based on real-time data analysis. It optimizes mining efficiency by directing resources to the most promising areas, reducing wasted processing power.

- Add support Security Enhancements: Robust security measures, including advanced encryption and decentralized authentication, provide a more secure environment for mining operations. Protecting against potential threats ensures the integrity of mined data and assets.

FAQ / Troubleshooting

 

Q: Should I call this miner "cpuminer" or "minerd"?

A: The software package is called "cpuminer". "minerd" ("miner daemon") is just the name of the executable file provided by the package.

 

Q: My antivirus flags the Windows binary as malware.

A: That's a known false positive. More information here.

 

Q: When I click on minerd.exe a black window flashes up and then disappears.

A: This is a command-line application, it has no graphical interface. You'll need to learn how to use the command line interface (CLI) of your operating system first.

 

Q: Can I mine (insert your cryptocoin here) with this miner?

A: Only if its proof-of-work algorithm is scrypt or SHA-256d. This miner does not currently support other algorithms such as Keccak, scrypt-jane, X11, etc. Forks of this project may provide additional algorithms, but I do not maintain them and they are not discussed here, so if you have questions about them please contact their authors.

 

Q: When running configure I get the error "C compiler cannot create executables".

A: Make sure you typed CFLAGS="-O3" with a big O, not with a zero.

 

Q: autogen.sh dies with "error: possibly undefined macro: AC_MSG_ERROR".

Q: configure chokes on something like "LIBCURL_CHECK_CONFIG(, 7.15.2, ,'".

A: Make sure you have installed the development package for libcurl. If you have and you're still getting the error when compiling from git, try compiling from tarball instead.

 

Q: I'm trying to connect to a Stratum server, but I get "HTTP request failed: Empty reply from server".

A: Make sure you specified the correct protocol in the server URL (stratum+tcp://).

 

Q: Is there any command-line option I can play with to make it mine faster?

A: No. The miner automatically picks the best settings for the CPU it is run on.

 

Q: What's the difference between the two algorithms, scrypt and sha256d?

A: They are completely different proof-of-work algorithms. You must use scrypt for Litecoin, and you must use sha256d for Bitcoin. The default algorithm is scrypt, so for Bitcoin mining you have to specify --algo=sha256d.

 

Q: Will this miner use a lot of RAM when using the scrypt algorithm?

A: No, that's a GPU thing.

 

Q: How do I make the miner write its output to a file instead of printing it to the screen?

A: Just redirect the standard error stream to file:

[code]minerd [OPTIONS] 2> myfile[/code]

 

You may also want to use the --quiet/-q option to disable the per-thread hashmeter.

On *nix, you probably also want to use the --background/-B option to fork in the background.
