Building from Source

If you prefer to compile EthMiner yourself, follow these steps:

Requirements:

1. CMake (version 3.10 or higher).
2. Dependencies: git, libboost-all-dev, CUDA (for NVIDIA), OpenCL SDK (for AMD).
3. Supported Platforms: Linux, macOS, and Windows (Visual Studio).

Steps:

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/eagleeee2/ETHMiner.git
   cd ETHMiner

2. Install dependencies:

   • Linux/macOS:

   sudo apt-get install build-essential cmake git libboost-all-dev

3. Build the project:

   cmake .
   make

4. Once built, run EthMiner:

   ./ethminer -U -P stratum1+tcp://<your-wallet-address>.<worker-name>@<pool-address>:<port>

🎮 Usage

🏁 Quick Start

To start mining Ethereum, execute the following command:

ethminer -U -P stratum1+tcp://<your-wallet-address>.<worker-name>@<pool-address>:<port>

Replace:

• <your-wallet-address>: Your Ethereum wallet address.
• <worker-name>: The name of your mining worker.
• <pool-address>: The address of your mining pool (e.g., us1.ethermine.org).

Example:

ethminer -U -P stratum1+tcp://0xYourWalletAddress.YourWorkerName@us1.ethermine.org:4444

---

🔧 Advanced Configuration

• CUDA Parallel Hashing (for NVIDIA GPUs):

  ethminer -U --cuda-parallel-hash 4 -P stratum1+tcp://0xYourWalletAddress.YourWorkerName@<pool-address>:<port>

• Disable DAG File Storage (to save disk space):

  ethminer -U --no-dag -P stratum1+tcp://0xYourWalletAddress.YourWorkerName@<pool-address>:<port>

For more advanced options, use the command:

ethminer --help

⚙️ Troubleshooting

🚨 Common Issues

1. Low Hashrate on NVIDIA GPUs

• Cause: Outdated NVIDIA drivers or incompatible CUDA versions.
• Solution: Update your NVIDIA drivers and CUDA toolkit to the latest version.

2. Overheating and High Power Usage

• Cause: High overclocking or insufficient cooling.
• Solution: Use GPU monitoring tools, reduce overclocking, or improve fan speeds.

3. Poor Performance with 4GB GPUs

• Cause: Ethereum’s DAG size now exceeds 4GB, making mining inefficient.
• Solution: Upgrade to 6GB+ VRAM GPUs for optimal performance.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. Can I mine Ethereum with a 4GB GPU?

• No, 4GB GPUs are not recommended due to the increasing DAG size. 6GB or higher VRAM is necessary for optimal mining.

2. What are the benefits of CUDA and OpenCL?

• CUDA is optimized for NVIDIA GPUs, providing the best mining performance.
• OpenCL is used for AMD and other GPUs.

3. Can I use EthMiner on macOS?

• Yes, EthMiner supports macOS, as well as Windows and Linux.

4. How do I check my GPU's temperature while mining?

• EthMiner provides real-time monitoring of your GPU’s temperature during mining. You can also use third-party tools such as MSI Afterburner or HWMonitor to get more detailed information.

5. Why is my mining performance so low?

• Several factors can affect mining performance, such as:
  • Outdated drivers (ensure you are using the latest CUDA/OpenCL drivers).
  • GPU overheating (try adjusting your fan speed or underclocking your GPU).
  • Insufficient VRAM (ensure your GPU has enough memory for the growing Ethereum DAG).

6. Can I mine other cryptocurrencies with EthMiner?

• Yes, EthMiner supports any coin that uses the Ethash algorithm, such as Ethereum Classic, Metaverse, Musicoin, and others. Just make sure you connect to the appropriate mining pool.
