Bminer is a highly optimized Equihash miner that runs on modern NVIDIA GPUs (Maxwell and Pascal, i.e. GPUs that have compute capability 5.0 or above). Bminer is the fastest publicly available Equihash miners today. It features a completely restructured algorithm to maximize the stream processor occupancy and the instruction pipeline efficiency. It realizes the full potentials of Pascal GPU cards.

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

Similar to other miners, Bminer contains 2% devfee.

Features

• Comes with REST APIs to facilitate production deployments

Quickstart

To mine Zcash on nanopool:

• Download and extract Bminer into a folder (e.g. C:\bminer or /home/bminer)
• Edit mine.bat (mine.sh on Linux) and change the address to the desired Zcash address that Bminer mines towards.
• Open command line prompt and run mine.bat (mine.sh).
• Enjoy mining
