Updated/Maintained by Nemo/Minerx117 & UselessGuru
with a lot of help from MrPlusGH & grantemsley. Without them NemosMiner would not be possible.
NemosMiner code is partly based on
-
MultiPoolMiner which can be found here: https://github.com/MultiPoolMiner/MultiPoolMiner (Project is no longer maintained)
-
NPlusMiner which can be found here: https://github.com/MrPlusGH/NPlusMiner (Project is no longer maintained)
Note: NemosMiner Version 4.x is NOT backwards compatible with the 3.x code base. It is highly recommended to install this version to a new directory.
Some configuration options have changed. See 'Changed Config Items.txt' for more information. NemosMiner will automatically convert an existing configuration file.
Main features:
- Web & legacy GUI
- Easy configuration
- Auto benchmark each algorithm to get optimal speeds
- Fully automated
- Auto downloads miner binaries
- Auto updates
- Monitoring
- Earnings graph
- Low developer fee (can be set to 0)
- Calculate power cost (optional software installation required)
Easy configuration, easy start:
Run NemosMiner.bat
1. Edit configuration (http://localhost:3999/configedit.html)
2. Set your Wallet address(es) and Username(s)
3. Select your pool(s)
4. Save configuration
5. Start mining
Note: 2. you only need to change the username if you are using MiningDutch, MiningPoolhub or ProHashing
Algorithm selection / removal
+[algorithm] to enable algorithm
-[algorithm] to disable algorithm
If '+' is used, then only the explicitly enabled algorithms are used
If '-' is used, then all algorithms except the disabled ones are used
Do not combine + and - for the same algorithm
Examples:
Algorithm list = '-x16r'
Will mine anything but x16r
Algorithm list = '-x16r,-bcd'
Will mine anything but x16r and bcd
Algorithm list = +x16r
Will mine only x16r
Algorithm list = '+x16r,+bcd'
Will mine only x16r and BCD
Algorithm list blank
Will mine anything
Currency selection / removal
+[currency] to enable currency
-[currency] to disable currency
If '+' is used, then only the explicitly enabled currencies are used
If '-' is used, then all currencies except the disabled ones are used
Do not combine + and - for the same currency
Examples:
Currency list = '-EVR'
Will mine anything but EVR
Currency list = '-EVR,-KIIRO'
Will mine anything but EVR and KIIRO
Currency list = '+EVR'
Will mine only EVR
Currency list = '+EVR,+KIIRO'
Will mine only EVR and KIIRO
Currency list blank
Will mine anything
Pools Variants
*24hr - uses last 24hour price data in pool API to calculate profit (no estimates or advanced calculations)
*Plus - uses advanced calculations to reduce uneeded switching
normal - uses current price data in pool API to calculate profit (no estimates or advanced calculations)
Developer/Contributors Donation: The list and wallets is stored in [NemosMiner Directory]\Data\DonationData.json
Donation Fee = 0.9%
There is 13 minute per day default donation (0.9%),
which can be increased or decreased in the configuration editor.
Please help support the great team behind NemosMiner by leaving mining donations turned on.
We want to stay completely transparent on the way fees are managed in the product.
Donation cycle occurs once in 24hrs (or once until midnight if NemosMiner has been running less than 24hrs).
Donation start time is randomized each time.
It will then mine for one randomly chosen developer / contributor for the configured duration.
Example for default parameters (13 minutes):
- NemosMiner was started at 10:00h
- First donation cycle starts somewhen between 10:01h and 23:47h and will then donate for 13 minutes, then mine for you again until the next donation run.
- After 00:00h the donation start time is randomized again.
- When donation start time is reached it will then donate for 13 minutes, then mine for you again until the next donation run.
All donation time and addresses are recorded in the logs files.
NemosMiner Monitoring Server: https://nemosminer.com
Keep tabs on all your mining rigs from one place
You can now optionally monitor all your workers remotely, both in the GUI and via https://nemosminer.com
Monitoring setup instructions https://nemosminer.com/setup.php
Web & Legacy GUI
NemosMiner relies on config files. No need to edit bat files. Simply run NemosMiner.bat
Set the config in the Web GUI (http://localhost:3999/configedit.html), apply & start mining
Version 3.9.9.x (Beta) and later has a Web GUI making it easy to configure and run.
Pause mining
Ability to pause miners while keeping other jobs running (pause button)
This will stop mining activity
Brains will still run in the background avoiding the learning phase on resume
BalancesTracker will still run in the background to keep the pool balances up to date
PreRun
Ability to run a batch prior switching to a specific miner and/or algorithm.
The prerun scripts can be used to set per miner/algorithm OC via nvidiaInspector or OverdriveNTool.
Before starting a miner executable NemosMiner is trying to launch one of the following 3 prerun scripts (in this order):
1. <MinerName>_<Algorithm>.bat
Simply create a file named <MinerName>_<AlgorithmName>.bat in prerun folder, e.g. 'Bminer-v16.4.11-1xRadeonRX5808GB-Handshake-10.bat' or 'CcminerMTP-v1.3.2-1xGTX10606GB_MTP.bat'
2. <Algorithm>.bat
Simply create a file named <AlgorithmName>.bat in prerun folder, e.g. 'Ethash.bat'
3. default.bat
If neither of the two above exist, NemosMiner will try to launch 'prerun\default.bat'
Use overclock with caution
Per pool config (Advanced, see 'Data\PoolsConfig-Template.json')
**This is for advanced users. Do not use if you do not know what you are doing.**
The file 'Config\PoolsConfig.json' contains configuration details for the pools.
A separate section can be added for each pool base name. If a pool is listed in this file,
the specific settings will be taken into account. If not, the built in default values will be used.
See 'Data\PoolData.json' for the basic structure of the file 'Config\PoolsConfig.json'
You can set specific options per pool. For example, you can mine NiceHash on the internal wallet and other pools on a valid wallet. See 'PoolsConfig-Template.json' for some pool specific configuration options.
Available options:
- Wallets[Currency] = Your wallet address for [Currency]; some pools, e.g. Hiveon require wallets in each supported currency
- UserName = your MPH or ProHashing user name
- WorkerName = your worker name
- PricePenaltyFactor = See explanation below
- Algorithm = List of included or excluded algorithms per pool
- PayoutThreshold[Currency] = pool will allow payout if this amount is reached
Usage:
- Edit 'Config\PoolsConfig.json'
- Add an entry for the pool you want to customize
- The name must be the pool base name (omit *24hrs or *Plus), e.g ZergPool (even if you have configured ZergPoolPlus in the pool list)
- (**careful with json formating ;)**
Note that the GUI only updates default values (valid for ALL pools unless there is pool specific configuration setting defined in 'Config\PoolConfig.json'). Any other changes need to be done manually.
EarningsAdjustmentFactor
When using advanced per pool configuration, it is possible to add an earnings adjustment factor for a specific pool. This simply adds a multiplicator on estimations presented by the pool.
Example scenario:
- You feel like a pool is exaggerating its estimations by 10% - Set EarningsAdjustmentFactor to 0.9
Pool Variants
Poolnames ending in *24hr
Use calculations based on 24hr prices to get a more stable estimate.
NOT sensible to spikes.
They show less switching than following current or plus price estimate.
lower profitability in exchange for less switching.
Poolnames ending in *Plus
Use calculations based on 24hr actual and current estimate prices to get a more realistic estimate.
Include some trust index based on past 1hr current estimate variation from 24hr.
AND are NOT sensible to spikes.
They show less switching than following current estimate and more switching than following the 24hr actual.
Better profitability.
Balances Tracking
Displays available balances and an estimation of when the pool payment threshold will be reached.
Supported pools:
- HashCryptos
- Hiveon (*)
- MiningDutch
- MiningPoolHub
- NiceHash (internal & external wallet)
- ProHashing
- ZergPool
- Zpool
(*) Pool does not support auto-exchange to other currencies.
If mining more than one pool, NemosMiner shows stats for all supported pools.
Press key 'b' in the console window to show/hide earnings.
Support for running multiple instances (not recommended)
**Experimental**
More than one instance of NemosMiner can run on the same rig
Each instance must be placed in its own directory
Miner has to be started prior the launch of the next instance
Do not use the same miner devices in more than one instance as this will give invalid hash rate
& power usage readings causing incorrect best miner selection.
Miner Switching Log
Simple miner switching log as csv (\SwitchingLog.csv file found in Logs folder).
You can easily track switching rate.
Console Display Options
Use -UIStyle light or -UIStyle full in config.json
Full = Usual display (Default)
Light = Show only current mining info
UIStyle automatically switches to full during benchmarking.
Press key 's' in the console window to switch UIStyle.
In session console the following hot keys are supported
a: Toggle Accuracy column visibility
b: Toggle Listing Pool Balances
c: Toggle Power Cost column visibility
e: Toggle Earnings column visibility
f: Toggle Pool fees column visibility
i: Toggle Earning Bias column visibility
m: Toggle Miner Fees column visibility
n: Toggle CoinName column visibility
p: Toggle Pool column visibility
r: Toggle Profit Bias column visibility
s: Toggle UI Style [full or light]
t: Toggle Profit column visibility
u: Toggle User column visibility
v: Toggle Listing all available miners
w: Toggle Power usage column visibility
y: Toggle Currency column visibility
Requirements
PowerShell Version 7.x is required:
Download Installer for version 7.3.8
