Bminer is a highly optimized cryptocurrency miner that runs on modern AMD / NVIDIA GPUs. Bminer is one of the fastest publicly available miners today -- we use various techniques including tiling and pipelining to realize the full potentials of the hardware.

Initially bfgminer is a software for mining coins which use sha256 algorithm. When the purpose is pool mining, then the software connects to a mining pool. This software is ideal for those working as the it admin of a university, most of the time, those computers in the lab are idle. Bitcoin core initial synchronization will take time. The mining software is compatible with gpu mining hardware and runs on mac, but if you have any of the bfgminer is a software for mining coins which use sha256 algorithm. Bitcoin mining hardware handles the actual mining process whereas bitcoin ming software acts as the enabler.

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

Bminer supports mining Equihash-based coins (e.g., BitcoinGold, BitcoinZ) with 2% of devfee.
Bminer supports mining Ethash-based coins (e.g., Ethereum) with 0.65% of devfee. It is also possible to dual mine Ethash and Blake14r-based / Blake2s-based coins, where the devfee is 1.3%.
Bminer supports mining Bytom (BTM) with 2% of devfee.
Bminer supports mining Grin (GRIN) with 1% of devfee.

Quickstart¶

Download and extract Bminer into a folder (e.g. C:bminer or /home/bminer)
Depending on the coins that you want to mine, find the corresponding script in the folder. For example, the corresponding script is mine_grin29.bat (on Windows) or mine_grin29.sh (on Linux) when mining Grin using the Cuckaroo29 algorithm.
Change the address and account information in the script.
Run the script and Enjoy mining :-)
