Version 3.10.1

SHA256

Release v100.46 of bzminer

All feedback is welcome ;)

• Slight improvements on Pearl for nvidia
• Slight improvements on Quantus for nvidia
• c29 improvements on AMD RDNA 1-4
• cn improvements on nvidia/amd
• Some bug fixes

Mines Tari, Conceal, Ryo, Ergo, Ethereum Classic, EthereumPoW, Ravencoin, Neurai, Neoxa, Meowcoin, Clore, nexa, Pearl, Quantus, Monero, Zephyr, Salvium, VERUS, Warthog and XELIS, and ships sha256d as the open-source SDK example.

Downloads

Verify before running:

# Linux / macOS
sha256sum -c <<< "<hash>  <file>"

# Windows (PowerShell)
Get-FileHash .\<file> -Algorithm SHA256

A checksum only proves the file is the one that was published — always download from the official release page.

Getting started

1. Unpack the archive for your platform.
2. Open a start_<algo> script and replace the placeholder wallet with your own.
3. Run it, then open http://127.0.0.1:4014/ for the dashboard.

readme.txt inside each archive has the full quick start, the common options, and the hardware-safety settings. config.txt is a commented copy of every setting, generated from the shipped binary, so it always matches the build you have.

config.txt may be JSON or a command line. The shipped file is JSON — every setting inside one { } object. bzminer equally accepts the same file written as the options you would have typed, which is what a mining OS generates and the easier form to write by hand:

# one option per line, or a flag and its value on one line
-a pearl
-p stratum+tcp://pool:1234
-w YOUR_WALLET
--worker "My Rig"

Quote a value containing a space, and start a comment with #. An option you type on the command line beats the file's copy of it, so the file is a default you can override without editing it.

Docker

There is an image, and it carries the GPU userspace as well as the miner - no ROCm install, no driver packages, nothing on the host but a kernel driver:

docker pull bzminer/bzminer:v100.46
docker run --rm -it --gpus all bzminer/bzminer -a pearl -o stratum+tcp://pool:port -w YOUR_WALLET

The identical image is on GitHub as ghcr.io/bzminer/bzminer:v100.46 if you would rather not pull from Docker Hub.

Or keep your config, log and plugins on the host and run it as a service:

docker run -d --name bzminer --restart unless-stopped --gpus all \
    -v /opt/bzminer:/data -p 127.0.0.1:4014:4014 \
    bzminer/bzminer --set http_address=0.0.0.0

With no arguments it runs /data/config.txt; anything you pass goes straight to bzminer, so every command line on this page works unchanged. http_address has to be 0.0.0.0 for the dashboard, because the default 127.0.0.1 binds the container's loopback, which no published port can reach.

GPU flags differ per vendor. NVIDIA is --gpus all (with nvidia-container-toolkit on the host). AMD and Intel are --device /dev/kfd --device /dev/dri --group-add video --group-add render and --device /dev/dri. Overclocking, MSR tuning and huge pages additionally need --privileged; mining does not.

Update with a pull, not the miner's self-update - and the old tag stays published, so a rollback is just naming it:

docker pull bzminer/bzminer && docker restart bzminer

The binary inside the image is byte-identical to the one in bzminer_v100.46_linux.tar.gz above. Full documentation: docker run --rm bzminer/bzminer cat /opt/bzminer/docs/DOCKER.md.

Updating on a mining OS

Both fetch this exact version, so they can be pasted as-is - the version below is already the one on this page.

MMPOS

Put this in miner profile → advanced → "Initiate command prior to miner launch". It downloads once; on every later launch the if sees the archive already in /tmp and exits immediately, so it costs nothing per restart.

export version="v100.46"
if [ -f "/tmp/bzminer_${version}_linux.tar.gz" ]; then
exit 0
else
cd /tmp; wget https://github.com/bzminer/bzminer/releases/download/${version}/bzminer_${version}_linux.tar.gz; tar -xvf bzminer_${version}_linux.tar.gz; sudo cp -adpR bzminer_${version}_linux/bzminer /opt/mmp/miners/bzminer/
fi

Hive OS custom miner

The Linux release now includes bzminer_custom-v100.46.tar.gz, a complete Hive OS custom miner: the full bzminer binary, flight-sheet config adapter, log launcher, and native /hive_status reporting.

1. Click Copy on the Flight Sheet JSON below.
2. Open the Hive OS farm page that lists all workers.
3. Open the Flight Sheets tab.
4. Click Import from Clipboard.
5. Create/save the flight sheet and add your PEARL wallet.
6. Apply the flight sheet to the workers.

The sample mines Pearl on HeroMiners. Change url, pool_urls, algo, and coin for another pool or algorithm. The package maps those fields, %WAL%, the Hive worker name, and pass directly to bzminer. Put optional bzminer CLI arguments in user_config.

Hive OS built-in miner (manual binary replacement)

Run it over SSH or in the Hive web shell.

You do not need to know which bzminer version is installed. Hive keeps one folder per version under /hive/miners/bzminer/, and the flight sheet decides which one runs - so this replaces the binary in every bzminer folder it finds and whichever one your flight sheet points at gets the new build. That is the whole reason it does not name a version directory.

version=v100.46
cd /tmp && wget -q https://github.com/bzminer/bzminer/releases/download/${version}/bzminer_${version}_linux.tar.gz && tar -xf bzminer_${version}_linux.tar.gz || { echo "download failed"; exit 1; }
miner stop
n=0; for d in /hive/miners/bzminer/*/; do [ -d "$d" ] && cp -f "bzminer_${version}_linux/bzminer" "$d" && n=$((n+1)); done
[ "$n" -gt 0 ] && echo "updated $n bzminer folder(s)" || echo "no /hive/miners/bzminer/<version>/ found - install bzminer from the flight sheet first"
miner start

It prints how many folders it updated. 0 means bzminer has never been installed from a flight sheet on that rig, so there is nothing to replace yet.

Reporting problems

Please include: your OS, GPU model(s) and driver version, the algorithm and pool, and the first ~40 lines of the log (it prints the build, the devices it found, and what each backend reported). --list-metrics output helps for sensor issues.

Performance / Производительность

• implemented power efficient kernel for pearlhash via parameter --pearlhash-kernel 2

Stock clock gpu's should improve speed up to 15% with this kernel. Properly tuned gpu's will improve power efficiency if lock memory to 810MHz.

reminder: dev-fee is 0% with pearlhash.xyz pool

• Improvements on algorithm 'noid' for NVIDIA and AMD GPUs

• Improvements on algorithm 'quantus' for NVIDIA GPUs

• Added support for NVIDIA SM80 (A100, CMP170HX) on algorithm 'noid'

• Minor improvements on algorithm 'pearlhash' for NVIDIA 5000 series GPUs

Custom miner for Hiveos

To use it you need to select “Custom miner” when you create Flight Sheet and paste this into 'Installation url' : https://github.com/doktor83/SRBMiner-Multi/releases/download/3.7.5/srbminer_custom-3.7.5.tar.gz

After that you must set everything manually (--algorithm, --pool, --wallet) through the 'Extra config arguments' field by using parameters. Parameters list here : ( https://github.com/doktor83/SRBMiner-Multi/blob/master/Parameters )

ForgeMiner v1.8.6

Quantus is faster on every generation and now runs on the GTX 10-series, Pearl is faster on Pascal and the CMP cards, and the overclock is put back when forge exits.

What's new

• Quantus — new kernels on every generation. The GTX 10-series (Pascal) mines Quantus now; 1.8.5 left these cards idle. Against 1.8.5 on the same cards: about +11% on the RTX 20-series (2080 Ti, 2060 and CMP 50HX alike), +7% on the RTX 30-series, +8% on the RTX 40-series and +14% on the RTX 50-series, with hashrate per watt up by about the same.
• Pearl on the GTX 10-series (Pascal) — about +55% hashrate and +34% hashrate per watt on a GTX 1080 Ti.
• Pearl on the CMP 50HX and 40HX — both now mine the same tuned kernel as the RTX 20-series: about +3% on the 50HX and +2% on the 40HX at the same power.
• Fix — RTX 30-series: Pearl no longer stops at start with CUDA error 700. Reported on Windows (3060 Ti, 3070 Laptop) and also seen on Linux. The FORGE_FRAG=0 workaround is no longer needed.
• Fix — Quai no longer loses shares.
• The overclock is put back when forge exits. forge restores what it set itself through --cclk, --coff, --mclk, --moff, --plimit and --fan; a setting someone changed in the meantime (a HiveOS profile, Afterburner) is left as it is.
• New flags: --oc-keep keeps the overclock after forge exits (the 1.8.5 behaviour); --oc-reset puts the cards back to stock (default power limit, clocks unlocked, offsets 0) and exits.
• Clearer messages: what went wrong and what to do — the pool's own reason for a refused login or share, why a pool connection ended, hints for CUDA errors and for an overclock setting the driver refused, a GPU number that does not exist. Long lines wrap in the log pane, and a message repeated many times is shown once with a counter.
• The RTX 50-series (Blackwell) requires NVIDIA driver 580 or newer (unchanged).
• HiveOS custom miner — upgrade with the versioned URL: https://github.com/0xHashRaptor/ForgeMiner/releases/download/v1.8.6/ForgeMiner-1.8.6.tar.gz. HiveOS reinstalls a custom miner only when its installation URL changes.
• Everything else is unchanged from 1.8.5.

Changelog

Pearlhash:

• Added a new compact kernel (--kernel 2) for locked 810 memory clock for Ampere, Ada, and Blackwell cards (It reaches 99% of the normal kernel hashrate with 10 - 20% more efficiency)
• Performance improvement of the primary kernel(mem 5001/7001/unlocked) for all supported cards. (~2 to 4%)

Fixed an issue that could trigger crash code 78

Note: The miner will auto pick the compact kernel if the memory is locked at 810 before it starts or if the overclock happens using the miner OC options. If you have a delayed OC on 30xx, 40xx, or 50xx series, make sure you manually select kernel 2.
