GMiner v2.55 (AMD & NVIDIA): Download and Setup for Windows/Linux 64-bit.
Gminer — is a well-known and in-demand cryptocurrency miner in the community for Aeternity, Ethereum, Beam, Grin, ZelCash, BitcoinZ and even Nervos CKB. Its main advantage is the support of multiple algorithms and, consequently, cryptocurrencies, whose network hash rate has recently taken off. We tell you how to properly set up the miner and start working with it. This program for mining cryptocurrencies is suitable for video cards from Nvidia and AMD (GPUs). GMiner was created by a Russian group of high-performance computing and cryptography experts. The first version of GMiner was released on September 21, 2018 and was warmly received by users. Due to its unique design and stability, in just six months the miner became a favorite of Equihash algorithms. The miner is focused on NVIDIA and AMD platforms and supports the most popular algorithms such as: Ethash, ProgPoW, KAWPOW, Equihash, CuckooCycle. GMiner maintains the leading position in mining such coins as Beam, Grin, Cortex, Bitcoin Gold. In 2020, the miner added support for Ethash, ProgPoW and KAWPOW algorithms with high performance relative to competitors. The development team never rests on its laurels and achieves maximum algorithm performance with minimum power consumption – these are the qualities that make GMiner stand out among competitors and win the hearts of users.
Changes
- lock core clock feature for Nvidia GPUs under Windows and Linux (–lock_cclock)
- resolve domain names even with broken system DNS settings
- support SOCKS5 proxy (–proxy host:port)
- generates valid DAG on higher OC modes
- improved speed of DAG generation (up to 2x)
- fixed miner crashes on DAG changes for ETH+ZIL mining
- fixed DAG caching on 6GB cards
- apply lock_voltage before DAG generation (in 2.52 miner applied lock_voltage after DAG generation)

How to start mining
Ethash
To start Ethash, type at the command prompt:
miner --algo ethash --server eth.2miners.com:2020 --user 0x5218597d48333d4a70cce91e810007b37e2937b5.worker1
- -algo – mining algorithm, in this case ethash
- -server – pool address and port, in this case pool eth.2miners.com, port 2020
- -user – ethash wallet and worker name, in this case wallet 0x5218597d48333d4a70cce91e810007b37e2937b5, worker1
Ethash и Etchash
For Ethash and Etchash algorithms there are 2 stratum protocol options (proxy and stratum), to explicitly specify the protocol, use the “-proto” parameter, for example, to use the Nicehash pool, type in the command line:
miner --algo ethash --server daggerhashimoto.usa.nicehash.com:3353 --user 3LsTTSsSy17xuoShcMHuRgGBxKn1AHgeVN --proto stratum
- If you have a mixed installation, you can run the miner only on CUDA devices:
miner --algo ethash --server eth.2miners.com:2020 --user 0x5218597d48333d4a70cce91e810007b37e2937b5.worker1 --opencl 0
- or only on OpenCL devices:
miner --algo ethash --server eth.2miners.com:2020 --user 0x5218597d48333d4a70cce91e810007b37e2937b5.worker1 --cuda 0
- or on devices of your choice, such as GPU0, GPU2 and GPU4:
miner --algo ethash --server eth.2miners.com:2020 --user 0x5218597d48333d4a70cce91e810007b37e2937b5.worker1 --devices 0 2 4
- a list of available GPUs can be seen by calling the following command:
miner --list_devices
- To set temperature limits for GPU0, GPU2 and GPU4, when reached, mining on this device will be suspended until it cools down:
miner --algo ethash --server eth.2miners.com:2020 --user 0x5218597d48333d4a70cce91e810007b37e2937b5.worker1 --devices 0 2 4 --templimit 80 70 65
where 80 is the temperature limit for GPU0, 70 is the temperature limit for GPU2, 65 is the temperature limit for GPU4
- To save the miner logs to a file for later analysis:
miner --algo ethash --server eth.2miners.com:2020 --user 0x5218597d48333d4a70cce91e810007b37e2937b5.worker1 --logfile log.txt
where “log.txt” is the path to the log file of the miner

Miner supports failover pools, if the main pool is not available, the miner switches to the failover pools, after the main pool is available, the miner will switch to it, example:miner --algo ethash --server eth.2miners.com:2020 --user 0x5218597d48333d4a70cce91e810007b37e2937b5.worker1 --server eu1.ethermine.org:4444 --user 0x5218597d48333d4a70cce91e810007b37e2937b5.worker1 --server asia.sparkpool.com:3333 --user 0x5218597d48333d4a70cce91e810007b37e2937b5.worker1
eth.2miners.com – main pool
eu1.ethermine.org and asia.sparkpool.com – failover pools
Miner resets mt, cclock, cvddc, mclock, mvddc parameters to default values while DAG generation to avoid errors
