Guides
Everything, step by step
Start with the guide for your coin. Each one walks from download to first accepted share on every platform bzminer runs on, then covers tuning and the things that go wrong. The rest are about the miner itself: the dashboard, overclocking, pools and farms, and running it on a mining OS.
How to mine
XELIS
XELxelhash on your GPUs and CPU at the same time. Pool, wallet, and every platform.
Read the guide →Ergo
ERGAutolykos v2, GPU only. Why it needs 2 GB of VRAM and what to do with the rest.
Read the guide →KawPow
RVN · XNA · NEOX · MEWC · CLOREOne algorithm, five chains. Naming the coin is what picks the chain, and the wallet changes with it.
Read the guide →Ethash / Etchash
ETC · ETHWThe same algorithm, two DAG schedules. Get the -a name right or every share is worthless.
Read the guide →Pearl
PRLA zk proof-of-work: every share is a STARK proof. Why the hashrate looks small, and how to mine solo.
Read the guide →Quantus
QTCPoseidon2 on GPUs and CPU, no DAG. Pools, and solo mining against your own node over authenticated QUIC.
Read the guide →Cuckaroo29
XTMA 2^29-edge graph, not a hash. Why the rate is single digits, and the 10 GB of VRAM it needs.
Read the guide →RandomX
XMR · ZEPH · SALCPU only. Huge pages, thread counts, and the memory it needs, on every platform.
Read the guide →Verus
VRSCVerusHash 2.2 on the CPU, while your GPUs do something else.
Read the guide →Warthog
WARTjanushash needs a GPU and the CPU together. What the calibration phase means, and how to mine solo.
Read the guide →CryptoNight
CCX · RYOcn/gpu on GPUs and CPU, plus eighteen classic variants for private pools.
Read the guide →MoneroOcean
paid in XMROne pool, one Monero wallet, five algorithms. The password pin that makes it work.
Read the guide →The miner itself
Web dashboard & monitoring
Every sensor in the rig in a browser, charts, LAN access, the farm view, and the JSON API.
Overclocking
Power limits, clock offsets and locks, fan curves, per-card settings, and what to reach for per algorithm.
Console & hotkeys
The four screens, what every column means, the hotkeys, and the commands behind the c key.
Devices & multi-algo
Pick cards by number or PCI address, decide how much CPU mines, run two coins at once, and say which algorithm gets which device.
Pools & farms
Backup pools that switch back on their own, mining through SOCKS5, and one pool connection for a whole farm.
Hive OS & mmpOS
Installing the current version on a mining OS, what each flight-sheet field becomes, and the force_algo escape hatch.
Benchmarking
A real stratum server inside the miner, so a measured share is an accepted one.
LLM server
Serve a language model from the miner on an OpenAI-compatible API, and keep the card mining whenever nobody is asking it anything.
The dev fee
What it costs, when it is paid, where it goes, and how to watch a whole cycle in a minute.
Troubleshooting
No GPUs found, rejected shares, a card that never mines, a dashboard that will not open.
