Minor optimizations of solvers and working loop as a result 1 – 4% speed increase depends on card model.
Thanks to new solvers now this version must work with old gpus better.
For more info about new options see help -h for short explanation and examples.

v0.1.0b

Speed increase 2 – 5% For old cards compute capabilities 2.x 3.x try version 0.0.6b it can be faster.

How to Setup EWBF’s Cuda Equihash Miner

EWBF is very easy to setup. Here is the basic setup scheme for Equihash 144.5.

miner --algo 144_5 --server SERVER_ADDR --port PORT --user USER --pass PASSWORD

Here is what a .bat file looks like for Bitcoin Gold mining on 2Miners pool.

miner.exe --algo 144_5 --pers BgoldPoW --server http://btg.2miners.com --port 4040 --user YOUR_ADDRESS.RIG_ID --pass x

As an example, we are showing the correct .bat file for EWBF’s Cuda Zcash below. In this example, we are mining Zcash on Equihash.

:restart
@echo off
TIMEOUT 5
miner --server zec.2miners.com --port 1010 --user YOUR_ADDRESS.RIG_ID --pass x --eexit 3 --pec --fee 0
ping 127.0.0.1 > nul
goto :restart

If you enter the data and launch the .bat file, you will see the following. It means that your rig is connected to the pool and that the miner is working properly.
