Linux: ./beam-cuda-miner --server <hostName>:<portNumer> --key <apiKey> --devices <deviceList>
Windows: beam-cuda-miner --server <hostName>:<portNumer> --key <apiKey> --devices <deviceList>
Passes the address and port of the node the miner will mine on to the miner. The server address can be an IP or any other valid server address.- For example when the node is running on the same computer and listens on port 17000 then use --server localhost:17000
Pass a valid API key from "stratum.api.keys" to the miner. Required to authenticate the miner at the node
List all devices that are present in the system and their order start the miner. Then all devices will be listed, but none selected for mining.
Selects the devices to mine on. If not specified the miner will run on all devices found on the system. For example to mine on GPUs 0,1 and 3 but not number 2 use --devices 0,1,3 Best practice is to specify pciBusID:pciDeviceID to select a device: --devices 1:0,2:0 The miner closes when no devices were selected for mining or all selected miner fail in the compatibility check.
- Install Visual Studio >= 2017 with CMake support.
- Download and install OpenSSL prebuilt binaries https://slproweb.com/products/Win32OpenSSL.html (
Win64 OpenSSL v1.1.0h
for example). - Download and install CUDA Toolkit https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-downloads
- Open project folder in Visual Studio, select your target (
x64-Release
for example, if you downloaded 64bit OpenSSL) and selectCMake -> Build All
. - Go to
CMake -> Cache -> Open Cache Folder -> beam-cuda-miner
(you'll findbeam-cuda-miner.exe
).
- Install
gcc7
ssl
packages.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/test
sudo apt update
sudo apt install g++-7 libssl-dev -y
- Set it up so the symbolic links
gcc
,g++
point to the newer version:
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/gcc gcc /usr/bin/gcc-7 60 \
--slave /usr/bin/g++ g++ /usr/bin/g++-7
sudo update-alternatives --config gcc
gcc --version
g++ --version
- Download and install CUDA Toolkit https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-downloads
- Install CMake
sudo apt install cmake
- Go to beam-opencl-miner project folder, make directory
build
, change dir tobuild
and callcmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release .. && make
.
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
make
- You'll find beam-cuda-miner binary in
build/equihash
folder.
