Nexus CPU Pool/Solo Miner

Build instructions

Install dependencies Ubuntu:

sudo apt-get install build-essential libboost-all-dev libdb-dev libdb++-dev libssl-dev libminiupnpc-dev libgmp-dev

Install dependencies Archlinux:

The miner currently needs openssl-1.0 instead of openssl. Use makefile.archlinux to point at the 1.0 lib and not at the new one.

sudo pacman -S base-devel boost db openssl-1.0 miniupnpc gmp

Clone the repo

cd ~
git clone https://github.com/hg5fm/PrimePoolMiner.git PrimePoolMiner

Build the miner

cd PrimePoolMiner
make MARCHFLAGS=-march=native -f makefile

miner.conf

The pool miner can now be configured via miner.conf. Two example files miner.conf.* are included.
Please copy/rename them to miner.conf in order to use it .

You can adjust the parameters used to initialise the prime sieving / wheel factorisation to optimise the prime chain rates (or WPS) for your CPU.

"host": <the pool hostname / ipaddress to connect to, in solo mode this should be the address of the NSX wallet node, quotation marks needed> 
"port": <the pool port, default 9549 for pool, for solo mining the default is 9325, quotation marks needed>
"nxs_address": <your payout address - if it's left empty ("") the miner will try to work in SOLO mode, quotation marks needed>
"sieve_threads": <number of threads to use for sieving, default is 0 (all available cores)
"ptest_threads": <number of threads to use for primality testing, default is 0 (all available cores)
"timeout": <timeout when connecting to pool, default 10s>
"bit_array_size": <the size of the prime sieve in bytes, default 8388608. Adjust this to suit your CPU cache size> 
"prime_limit": <max prime number used to initialise the sieve, default 71378571 - not in use at the current stage>
"n_prime_limit": <max inverses prime limit, default 4194304 - not in use at the current stage>
"primorial_end_prime": <largest primorial, default 12>

Run the miner with miner.conf

./nexus_cpuminer

Run the miner without miner.conf

The Required Arguments are 'IP PORT ADDRESS'

Default Arguments are Total Threads = CPU Cores and Connection Timeout = 10 Seconds

Format for Arguments is 'IP PORT ADDRESS SIEVE-THREADS PRIMETEST-THREADS TIMEOUT'

Solo mining example:

./nexus_cpuminer localhost 9325 ""

Pool mining example:

./nexus_cpuminer nexusminingpool.com 9549 <your-own-nexus-address>
