Re: [ANN] Bminer: a fast Equihash/Ethash miner for CUDA GPUs (7.0.0)

How to pass additional parameters in the password field?

Some pools, e.g. zpool allow to define additional mining settings in the password field. See an example below:

BMiner.exe -api 127.0.0.1:1880 -uri stratum://1GSq8txFsg1je6yL8t6S94mYdF8cGqVQJF:BLACKBOX,c=BTC@equihash.mine.zpool.ca:2142 -devices 0

Bminer throws an error:

invalid value "stratum://1GSq8txFsg1je6yL8t6S94mYdF8cGqVQJF:BLACKBOX,c=BTC@equihash.mine.zpool.ca:2142" for flag -uri: Invalid port in the URI

Thanks for your feedback! Please refer to our sample usage page for examples of setting passwords in the command: https://www.bminer.me/examples/.

Here is a concrete example:
bminer -uri stratum://foo.w:pwd@us-east.equihash-hub.miningpoolhub.com:17023
The command above will mine towards the username foo, worker name w and password pwd

Hello

This does not help me Angry

This is what I tried - same error:
BMiner.exe -api 127.0.0.1:1880 -uri stratum://1GSq8txFsg1je6yL8t6S94mYdF8cGqVQJF.BLACKBOX:x,c=BTC@equihash.mine.zpool.ca:2142 -devices 0

Bminer still does not allow me to use ,c=BTC as part of password. Please fix.

Edit: As a workaround I encode the user & password parameters with '[System.Web.HttpUtility]::UrlEncode("StringToEncode")' (Powershell)

Hi, May I ask what is your password exactly? x,c=BTC or ,c=BTC or c=BTC?
The problem is caused by the comma inside the command. We suggest you choose a password without comma.

Some pools (ZergPool, Zpool etc.) require to specify the payout currency by setting it in the password field like this (example taken from http://zergpool.com/):

-o stratum+tcp://neoscrypt.mine.zergpool.com:PORT -u -p c=GUN,mc=GUN

where the required password is c=GUN,mc=GUN

BTW: Yes I am aware the bmnier does NOT do neoscrypt, this is just an example. The same applies however for any other algos like ethash or equihash.
