How to customize or modify a .bat file

Right-click on the file, select "Change".

how to change a batch file

A text document will open and you will see a list of program commands. To quickly launch the program, you just need to change the address of the digital wallet to your address.

Setting up a.bat file for Ethereum (Binance Pool)

1. miner this argument specifies which program to run. We leave it as it is. This file should be located in the same folder as the batch file.
2. --algo ethash we indicate the algorithm of the mined coin. If you do not know what algorithm the coin has, then you can see the cryptocurrency algorithm here.
3. --server ethash.poolbinance.com after the key, we --server indicate the address of the pool. See the pool rankings here.
4. --port 8888 we specify the port of the pool
5. --user username1 then --user, depending on the pool, either the pool login or the digital wallet address is indicated. In our example on the Binance Pool, this is the login.

Ready example:

miner --algo ethash --server ethash.poolbinance.com:8888 --user username1

Please note that in all examples you need to change username1 to your own login from the pool. If there is a wallet in the example, then the wallet needs to be changed too.

Attention! In order for Gminer to run, you need to adhere to the strict syntax. Those. Extra spaces, commas and other punctuation marks are not allowed where they should not be.

Please note that this is a simplified setup diagram. Below we will take a look at all the commands.

Setting up for Ethereum (Ethermine)

1. miner this argument specifies which program to run. We leave it as it is. This file should be located in the same folder as the batch file.
2. --algo ethash we indicate the algorithm of the mined coin.

  • 0 - automatically,
  • 1 - enabled,
  • 2 - off
• --lhr_tune - specify a list of LHR tuning values ​​separated by spaces (for each video card separately), which means the percentage of unlocking of the video card. Available values:
  • 0 - automatically,
  • default value: 0.

For example: 72 71 73

• --lhr_autotune - Specify a space-separated LHR autotune list. Available values:
  • 0 - off,
  • 1 - enabled.

For example: 1 0 1

• --lhr_autotune_step — specify LHR autotune step size, default value is 0.1 (for example: 0.2)

• --lhr_mode - Specify a list of LHR modes separated by spaces. Available values:

  • 0 - power saving mode,
  • 1 - maximum performance mode,
  • default value 1

For example: 1 0 1)

In-depth look at Gminer full LHR unlock with comparison to NBMiner and T-REX Miner, as well as overclock settings and profits. Which miner is the most table? That is a question we will try to answer in this video.

Setting for Equihash

Not in the mood to read? Watch the video with quick and easy setup:

We have covered the main command line arguments for running this program. Below is a list of all the commands, but for now let's start the miner.

To do this, click on the file with the.bat extension with the desired coin. The program console will open. Let's look at what information it displays to us:

1. GPU2 Share Accepted 331 ms It means that the second video card has found a share (solution), it is important to understand that the miners are rewarded precisely for the found shares, and not for anything else. Learn more about the remuneration structure
2. Temperature: GPU0 42C GPU1 44C GPU2 47C GPU3 42C GPU4 40С GPUS 34C Temperatures of all video cards. You can find out about the permissible temperatures for video cards in mining here
3. Rejected Shares: GPU0 0 GPU1 0 GPU2 0 GPU3 0 GPU4 0 GPUS 0 Means that there are no rejected shares. This is very good, you need to aim for a low percentage of share rejected. If they appear, then you need to lower the overclocking, check the connection and ping to the pool, etc.
4. Power: GPU0 185W 0.03 G/W GPU1 183W 0.03 G/W GPU2 229W 0.03 G/W GPU3 197W 0.03 G/W GPU4 185W 0.03 G/W GPU5 187W 0.03 G/W Display of the power consumption of each card and its efficiency G / Watt
5. Total Speed: 37.5 G/s Shares Accepted: 18 Rejected: 6 Power: 1166W 3.03 G/W The general indicator of the hash rate, the accepted share, the rejected, the power consumption of the entire farm, as well as the efficiency
6. New Job: 59655248 Difficulty: 4 Poole sent a new job for video cards
7. Speed: GPU0 6.1 G/s GPU1 6.2 G/s GPU2 6.3 G/s GPU3 6.3 G/s GPU4 6.3 G/s GPU5 6.3 G/s The hash rate of each GPU. It is this speed that can be driven into various mining calculators.
8. Uptime: 0d 00:61:01 Electricity: 6.019kWh The total running time of the farm and the amount of electricity consumed for all the time

System requirements for mining

Hardware

Cards Nvidia's: 1060, 1070, 1070ti, 1080, 1080ti, 2070, 2080, 2080ti and newer.

Please note that this is not a complete list of supported devices. If you have other video cards, then they should also be compatible with this program.

Software

1. Program for mining - see Step 1 below.
2. Overclocking software - MSI Afterburner. It works great for limiting power and temperature (very important for protecting your graphics cards and optimizing hash rates!)
3. Tested Overclocking Configuration

These settings were stable for the Nvidia GTX 1080 TI.

Coin wallet

The instructions assume that you already have a coin wallet. You can open a deposit on any convenient and safe exchange, or by downloading the official cold wallet from the official website of the coin you are interested in.

You can find a guide to secure wallets here.

Finally, let's get started!

Step-by-step guide to setting up the program

Step 1: Download the miner

Download this program and unzip it.

program files

In the folder with the program, you will find files with the.bat extension and instructions in Russian. For a quick start, you just need to change the wallet to your own in the.bat file. The names of the files are as follows: at the beginning there is the name of the coin, then the pool.

Step 2: Choose a pool!

The pool rating and pool capacity statistics pages will help you choose a pool.

For mining on some pools, registration is required.

Step 3: setup

Virtual memory in Windows

Before running GMiner, you need to increase the virtual memory in Windows to at least 7 GB (and preferably up to 7.5 GB) x (Number of cards), so for a farm with 6 cards you need at least 42 GB for Cuckaroo29. For Cuckatoo31, about 8 GB per 1080 GTX TI graphics card.

we expose the swap file in the system

Control Panel \ All Control Panel Items \ System - Advanced system settings - Advanced tab, then Settings, again the Advanced tab.

Find the Virtual Memory settings, click Change. Uncheck the box "Automatically select the size of the paging file" and put the checkbox "Specify size". We indicate the required size in MB (Example for 6 cards - 45000). Click on the Set button . We reboot the farm.

All command line arguments

If there are two commands per line, then you only need to enter one. The second is her synonym. Example: -h [--help] are the same thing. We enter either -h or --help.

-v [ --version ] - show the version of the program

Happy mining!

Problem solving

In this section, we will take a look at the most common errors encountered by users. If you have errors that are not described in this guide - report them in the comments below!

Connection Error: "End of file"

The settings for connecting to the pool are incorrect. Most likely you did not specify a key --ssl 1 for connecting to the pool via ssl.

Out of memory error

If you get this error, it means that the cards are out of virtual memory. Increase your swap file! There is an example above.

The program does not start

If the program does not start, then add the key at the end of the batch file pause so that the program does not close, but displays the code and description of the error that has occurred.

No devices for mining

The device is either not found or is busy with another application. Close other processes using the GPU through the task manager and try again. Also make sure that the system recognizes all video cards
