GMiner setup

Step 1: Download the miner

Download this program and unzip it.

folder with files GMiner v1.83 - improved by Eaglesong on Nvidia

program files

In the program folder you will find files with the extension .bat and instructions in Russian. For a quick start, just change the wallet to your .bat file. The file name is as follows: in the beginning is the name of the coin, then the pool.

Step 2: Choose a pool!

The pool rating and pool power statistics pages will help you choose a pool.

For mining on some pools, registration is required.

Step 3: Setup

Virtual memory in windows

Before starting GMiner, you need to increase the virtual memory in Windows to at least 7 GB (or better to 7.5 GB) x (Number of cards), so for a farm with 6 cards you will need at least 42 GB for Cuckaroo29. For Cuckatoo31, about 8 GB on one 1080 GTX TI graphics card.

We expose the page file in the system

Control Panel \ All Control Panel Elements \ System –
Additional system parameters – Advanced tab, then
Options, again the Advanced tab.

We find the Virtual memory settings, click Change. Uncheck the box “Automatically select the size of the paging file” and put the checkbox “Specify size”. Specify the desired size in MB (Example for 6 cards – 45000). Click on the Set button. Reboot the farm.

Setting up a .bat file

настройка батника GMiner v1.83 - улучшена Eaglesong на Nvidia

miner.exe — this argument indicates which program will be launched. Leave as is. This file should be in the same folder as the batch file
—algo grin29 — indicate the algorithm of the mined coin.
—server grin29.f2pool.com — after the –server switch, specify the address of the pool. Read more about f2pool
—port 13654 — show the port of the pool
—user rgz —
after -user, depending on the pool, either the pool login or the address of the digital wallet is indicated. In our example on f2pool, this is the login
—pass x — specify the pool password. Can be left empty if the pool does not require (x value)

Do not remove spaces or punctuation marks when modifying a file, as this will damage the file.

Examples

1. For the Grin coin on the f2pool pool, we got the following batch file:

miner.exe --algo grin29 --server grin29.f2pool.com --port 13654 --user rgz --pass x

2. For Grin and sparkpool pool

miner.exe --algo 150_5 --server beam.sparkpool.com --port 2222 --ssl 1 --user 2d1f865b393afa3ead1e0dd0c0307c0cbcdb8412671c86fbd0b21cfe5328b608ca5.rig0

3. For Beam Coin

miner.exe --algo 150_5 --server beam.f2pool.com --port 5000 –ssl 1 --user 2d1f865b393afa3ead1e0dd0c0307c0cbcdb8412671c86fbd0b21cfe5328b608ca5.rgz --ssl 1

We examined the basic command line arguments for running this program. Below is a list of all the commands, and now let’s run the miner. To do this, click on the file with the extension .bat with the desired coin. The program console will open. Let’s look at what information it displays to us:

Problem solving

In this section, we will look at the most popular errors that users encounter. If you have errors that are not described in this guide – report them in the comments below!

Connection Error: «End of file»

Incorrect settings for connecting to the pool. Most likely you did not specify the –ssl 1 switch to connect to the pool via ssl.

Out of video memory! Only (number) free

If you see this error, it means that the cards aren’t enough virtual memory. Enlarge the swap file! An example is above.

The program does not start

If the program does not start, add the pause key at the end of the batch file so that the program does not close, but displays the code and a description of the error that occurred.

No devices for mining

The device is either not found or is busy with another application. Close the other processes using the GPU through the task manager and try again. Also make sure that the system recognizes all video cards
