Overview
CryptoDredge is a simple in use and highly optimized cryptocurrency mining software. It takes full advantage of modern NVIDIA graphics cards through the use of unique optimization techniques. We have also devoted great attention to stable power consumption. These benefits, along with the very small developer fee, make our product one of the best publicly available miners.

Features
Developer fee is 1%

Supported Algorithms
  • Allium
  • Blake (2s)
  • Lyra2REv2
  • Lyra2z
  • NeoScrypt
  • PHI1612
  • Phi2
  • Skein
  • Skunkhash
  • Tribus

QuickStart
The current version of CryptoDredge is a (portable) console application. Unpack the downloaded archive and edit one of the sample .bat/.sh files or provide the necessary command line arguments.
Example:
Code:
CryptoDredge -a -o stratum+tcp:// -u -p

Command-Line Arguments
-v, --version Print version information
-a, --algo Specify algorithm to use
  • allium
  • blake2s
  • lyra2v2
  • lyra2v2-old (see the Lyra2REv2 Issues item)
  • lyra2z
  • neoscrypt
  • phi
  • phi2
  • skein
  • skunk
  • tribus
-d, --device List of comma-separated device IDs to use for mining. IDs are numbered 0,1...,N - 1
-h, --help Print help information
-i, --intensity Mining intensity (0 - 6) (default: 6)
-o, --url URL of mining pool
-p, --pass Password/Options for mining pool
-u, --user Username for mining pool
--log Log output to file
--no-color Force color off
--no-watchdog Force watchdog off
--cpu-priority Set process priority in the range 0 (low) to 5 (high) (default: 3)
--api-type Specify API type to use (default: ccminer-tcp)
  • ccminer-tcp (TCP)
  • ccminer-ws (WebSocket)
  • off
-b, --api-bind IP:port for the miner API, 0 disabled (default: 127.0.0.1:4068)
-r, --retries N number of times to retry if a network call fails, 0 retry indefinitely (default: 0)
-R, --retry-pause N time to pause between retries, in seconds (default: 15)
--timeout N network timeout, in seconds (default: 30)

System Requirements
  • NVIDIA GPUs with Compute Capability 5.0 or above
  • Latest GeForce driver
  • 2 GB RAM (4 GB recommended). Some algorithms such as NeoScrypt require the virtual memory (swap file) with the same size as all of the GPU's memory.
  • Internet connection

Windows

Linux
  • Ubuntu 14.04+, Debian 8+ (64-bit versions)
  • Package libc-ares2. Installing libc-ares2 package is as easy as running the following command on terminal: apt-get install libc-ares2

Troubleshooting

Antivirus Software Reports
CryptoDredge is not a piece of malicious software. You may try to add an exception in antivirus software you use.

Rejected Shares
There are many reasons for rejected shares. The primary reasons are:
  • high network latency
  • overloaded mining server
  • aggresive graphics card overclocking

Watchdog
If you are using a third-party watchdog, you can disable the built-in watchdog by using --no-watchdog option.
Example:
Code:
CryptoDredge -a -o stratum+tcp:// -u --no-watchdog

Lyra2REv2 Issues
In case if you have issues with the current implementation of Lyra2REv2 (lyra2v2), you might want to try lyra2v2-old.
Example:
Code:
CryptoDredge -a lyra2v2-old -o stratum+tcp:// -u

Several Instances After a While
It seems that you are using an own restart mechanism of CryptoDredge (see the Watchdog item).
