CPUMINER-OPT v3.14.1: Optimized multi algo CPU miner

GitHub: DOWNLOAD CPUMINER-OPT v3.14.1

cpuminer-opt is a branch of cpuminer-multi from TPruvot with optimizations imported from other miners developed by Lucas Jones, djm34, Wolf0, pooler, Jeff Garzik, ig0tik3d, elmad, palmd and Optiminer, with additional optimizations Jay Dee Dee. All code is considered open and free. If anyone has a complaint about any of them, post your case on the cpuminer-opt Bitcoin Talk forum or by email.

GBT and getwork log changes:

fixed missing TTF in New Block log,
ntime no longer byte-swapped for display in New Work log,
fixed zero effective hash rate in Periodic Report log,
deleted “Current block is…” log.

Renamed stratum “New Job” log to “New Work” to be consistent with the solo
version of the log. Added more data to both versions.

Please note miners are often marked as malware by antivirus programs. This is not so, they are marked simply because they are cryptocurrency miners. If you do not trust the software, do not use it!

cpuminer-opt v3.14.1: Optimized multi algo CPU miner

Requirements

A x86_64 architecture CPU with a minimum of SSE2 support. This includes Intel Core2 and newer and AMD equivalents. Further optimizations are available on some algoritms for CPUs with AES, AVX, AVX2, SHA, AVX512 and VAES.

Older CPUs are supported by cpuminer-multi by TPruvot but at reduced performance.

ARM and Aarch64 CPUs are not supported.

64 bit Linux or Windows OS. Ubuntu and Fedora based distributions, including Mint and Centos, are known to work and have all dependencies in their repositories. Others may work but may require more effort. Older versions such as Centos 6 don’t work due to missing features. 64 bit Windows OS is supported with mingw_w64 and msys or pre-built binaries.

MacOS, OSx and Android are not supported.

Stratum pool supporting stratum+tcp:// or stratum+ssl:// protocols or RPC getwork using http:// or https://. GBT is YMMV.

Errata

Old algorithms that are no longer used frequently will not have the latest optimizations.

Cryptonight and variants are no longer supported, use another miner.

Neoscrypt crashes on Windows, use legacy version.

AMD CPUs older than Piledriver, including Athlon x2 and Phenom II x4, are not supported by cpuminer-opt due to an incompatible implementation of SSE2 on these CPUs. Some algos may crash the miner with an invalid instruction. Users are recommended to use an unoptimized miner such as cpuminer-multi.

cpuminer-opt does not work mining Decred algo at Nicehash and produces only “invalid extranonce2 size” rejects.

Benchmark testing does not work for x11evo.

Bugs

Users are encouraged to post their bug reports using git issues or on the Bitcoin Talk forum or opening an issue in git:

All problem reports must be accompanied by a proper problem definition. This should include how the problem occurred, the command line and output from the miner showing the startup messages and any errors. A history is also useful, ie did it work before.
