Requires an Nvidia GPU with CUDA, the CUDA toolkit, and OpenSSL development headers to build from source.
VECPOOL Miner is a command line program that mines two cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin III and FJARCODE, which both use a proof of work method called SHA3-256T. This method runs the SHA3-256 hashing algorithm three times over a standard Bitcoin style block header, and the miner talks to mining pools using the ordinary Bitcoin stratum protocol that most mining pool software already supports. The tool is built for Linux and uses Nvidia CUDA to run the mining work on the graphics card, though it also has a CPU only mode for machines without a supported GPU. Each graphics card automatically tunes its own settings when the program starts, and the hashrate numbers it displays are real measured speeds from each device rather than estimates. It also correctly handles a pool feature called vardiff, where the pool adjusts mining difficulty on the fly for each connected worker. Building it requires the CUDA toolkit and OpenSSL development headers, after which running a single make command compiles the miner. To actually mine, you run the program with the mining algorithm name, the pool's server address, your wallet address, and either a flag to use every detected GPU or a flag to pick specific ones by device number, noting that CUDA numbers devices in a different order than the common nvidia-smi tool does. Because Bitcoin III and FJARCODE share the same underlying algorithm, the same compiled program can mine either coin, with only the pool address changing. The program also includes a self test mode that replays a known valid share through the whole pipeline to confirm everything is working, and a benchmark mode that measures each GPU's raw performance without connecting to a pool.
VECPOOL Miner is a Linux CUDA command line tool that mines the Bitcoin III and FJARCODE cryptocurrencies using the SHA3-256T proof-of-work algorithm over standard mining pool connections.
No license is stated in the README, so usage rights are unclear.
Setup difficulty is rated moderate, with roughly 30min to a first successful run.
Mainly general.
