Updated/Maintained by Nemo/Minerx117 & UselessGuru
with a lot of help from MrPlusGH, grantemsley & UselessGuru. Without them NemosMiner would not be possible.
NemosMiner code is partly based on
-
MultiPoolMiner which can be found here: https://github.com/MultiPoolMiner/MultiPoolMiner
-
NPlusMiner which can be found here: https://github.com/MrPlusGH/NPlusMiner
Note: NemosMiner Version 4.x is NOT backwards compatible with the 3.8.x code base. It is highly recommended to install this version to a new directory.
Some configuration options have changed. See 'Changed Config Items.txt' for more information. NemosMiner will automatically convert an existing configuration file.
Main features:
- GUI and easy configuration
- Auto Benchmarks Each algo to get optimal speeds
- Fully automated
- Auto Downloads Miners
- Auto Updates
- Monitoring
- Earnings graph
Easy configuration, easy start:
Run NemosMiner.bat
1. Config tab
2. Set your Wallet address and Username
3. Select your pool
4. Save Config
5. Start
Note: 2. you only need to change Username if you are using Miningpoolhub or ProHashing
Algorithm selection / removal
+[algorithm] to enable algorithm
-[algorithm] to disable algorithm
If '+' is used, then only the explicitly enabled algorithms are used
If '-' is used, then all algorithms except the disabled ones are used
Leave empty to use ALL available algorithms (not recommended as it may cause more miner switching)
Do not combine + and - for the same algo
Examples:
Algorithm list = -x16r
Will mine anything but x16r
Algorithm list = -x16r,-bcd
Will mine anything but x16r and bcd
Algorithm list = +x16r
Will mine only x16r
Algorithm list = +x16r,+bcd
Will mine only x16r and BCD
Algorithm list blank
Will mine anything
Pools Variants
*24hr - uses last 24hour price data in pool API to calculate profit (no estimates or advanced calculations)
*Plus - uses advanced calculations to reduce uneeded switching
normal - uses current price data in pool API to calculate profit (no estimates or advanced calculations)
*Coins - uses advanced calculations, mines only top paying coin in Algo (MiningPoolHub & ZergPool)
Developer/Contributors Donation: The list and wallets is publicly available at: https://nemosminer.com/data/devlist.json
Donation Fee = 0.9%
There is 13 minute per day default donation (0.9%),
which can be increased or decreased in the config tab,
please help support the great team behind NemosMiner by leaving mining donations turned on.
We want to stay completely transparent on the way fees are managed in the product.
Fees cycle occurs once every 24 hours for the selected amount of time (13 minutes).
Donation start time is randomized each day.
If Interval is set higher than the donation time, the interval will prime.
Example for default parameters (13 minutes):
- NemosMiner was started at 10:00h
- First donation cycle starts somewhen beween 10:01h and 23:47h and will then donate for 13 minutes, then mine for you again until the next donation run.
- After 00:00h the donation start time is randomized again.
- When donation start time is reached it will then donate for 13 minutes, then mine for you again until the next donation run.
All donation time and addresses are recorded in the logs folder.
NemosMiner Monitoring Server: https://nemosminer.com
Keep tabs on all your mining rigs from one place
You can now optionally monitor all your workers remotely, both in the GUI and via https://nemosminer.com
Monitoring setup instructions https://nemosminer.com/setup.php
GUI
Since version 3.9.9.x (Beta) NemosMiner has a Web GUI making it easy to configure and run.
NemosMiner relies on config files. No need to edit bat files. Simply run NemosMiner.bat
Set the config in the Web GUI, apply & start mining
Pause mining
Ability to pause miners while keeping other jobs running (pause button)
This will stop mining activity
BrainPlus will still run in the background avoiding the learning phase on resume
EarningTracker will still run in the background avoiding the learning phase on resume
PreRun
Ability to run a batch prior switching to a specific miner and/or algorithm.
The prerun scripts can be used to set per miner/algorithm OC via nvidiaInspector or OverdriveNTool.
Before starting a miner executable NemosMiner is trying to launch one of the following 3 prerun scripts (in this order):
1. <MinerName>_<Algorithm>.bat
Simply create a file named <MinerName>_<AlgorithmName>.bat in prerun folder, e.g. 'Bminer-v16.3.1-1xRadeonRX5808GB-Handshake-10.bat' or 'CcminerMTP-v1.3.2-1xGTX10606GB_MTP.bat'
2. <Algorithm>.bat
Simply create a file named <AlgorithmName>.bat in prerun folder, e.g. 'Ethash.bat'
3. default.bat
If neither of the two above exist, NemosMiner will try to launch prerun\default.bat
Use overclock with caution
Per pools config (Advanced)
**This is for advanced users. Do not use if you do not know what you are doing.**
The file Config\PoolsConfig.json contains configuration details.
There is a separate section for each configured pool. If a pool is listed in this file,
the specific settings will be taken into account. If not, the built in default values will be used.
You can set specific options per pool. For example, you can mine NiceHash on the internal wallet and other pools on a valid wallet. This configuration is provided as an example in Config\PoolsConfig-NHInternal.json
Available options:
- Wallets[Currency] = Your wallet address for [Currency]; some pools, e.g. HiveOn require wallets in each supported currency
- UserName = your MPH or ProHashing user name
- WorkerName = your worker name
- PricePenaltyFactor = See explanation below
- Algorithm = List of included or excluded algorithms per pool (see example files)
- PayoutThreshold[Currency] = pool will allow pyout if this amount is reached
Usage:
- Edit Config\PoolsConfig.json
- Add an entry for the pool you want to customize
- The name must be the pool base name (omit *24hrs or *Coins), e.g ZergPool (even if you have configured ZergPoolCoins in the pool list)
- (**careful with json formating ;)**
Note that the GUI only updates default values (valid for ALL pools unless there is pool specific configuration setting defined in PoolConfig.json). Any other changes need to be done manually.
PricePenaltyFactor
When using advanced per pool configuration, it is possible to add a penalty factor for a specific pool. This simply adds as a multiplicator on estimations presented by the pool.
Example scenario:
- You feel like a pool is exaggerating its estimations by 10% - Set PricePenaltyFactor to 0.9
AHashPool/BlockMasters/NLPool/ZergPool/Zpool
Uses calculations based on 24hr actual and current estimate prices to get a more realistic estimate.
Includes some trust index based on past 1hr current estimate variation from 24hr.
AND is NOT sensible to spikes.
This shows less switching than following current estimate and more switching that following the 24hr actual.
Better profitability.
Balances Tracking
Displays BTC/h and BTC/d as well a estimation of when the pool payment threshold will be reached.
Supported pools:
- AHashPool
- BlockMasters
- HiveON
- MiningPoolHub
- NiceHash (internal & external wallet)
- NLPool
- ProHashing
- ZergPool
- Zpool
If mining more than one pool, NemosMiner shows stats for any supported pool.
Press key 'b' in the console window to show/hide earnings.
Support for running multiple instances
**Experimental**
More than one instance of NemosMiner can run on the same rig
Each instance must be placed in its own directory
Miner has to be started prior the launch of the next instance
Optional miners (Advanced)
These are closed source and therefore not enabled in NemosMiner by default.
Use at your own risk.
For advanced users, check the Optional Miners checkbox on the Config tab to enable these miners.
CustomMiners (Advanced)
Users can place any miner.ps1 from miners/optionalminers or custom user created miner.ps1 files in CustomMiners folder
Note: Miners in CustomMiners folder are always enabled (to disable a custom miner it must be removed from the CustomMiners folder)
Algorithm switching log
Simple algo switching log as csv (switching.log file found in Logs folder).
You can easily track switching rate.
Console Display Options
Use -UIStyle Light or -UIStyle Full in config.json
Full = Usual display (Default)
Light = Show only current mining info
UIStyle automatically switches to Full during benchmarking.
Press key 's' in the console window to switch UIStyle.
In session console display toggle
Press key 'a' in the window to show/hide all avaialable miners
Press key 'b' in the window to show/hide pool balances
Press key 's' in the window to switch between light and full display
Will toggle display at next refresh
New version notification (Available since version 3.9.9.10)
NemosMiner will notify new version availability
Requirements
PowerShell Version 7.x is required:
Windows Powershell 7.1.5 (Recommended)
