nuxhash is a NiceHash cryptocurrency mining client for Linux. Like NiceHash's official Windows software, it uses NiceHash's proprietary excavator program to perform hashes of the most profitable algorithm(s) for each card.

At the moment, nuxhash is super-early alpha software, but it's already usable for headless mining on Nvidia cards.

Roadmap

• Daemon with basic mining logic
• Automatic miner downloads and integrity checking
• Finish wx-based GUI
• Implement other miners
• Support AMD devices
• Add 0.5% donation fee (opt-out)

I have no plans to implement direct overclocking or fan control.

Quick Start (daemon)

External dependencies, Ubuntu 18.04 LTS:

• Python 3.6
• Nvidia's proprietary graphics driver for Linux, version 387.xx or later
• curl (to download excavator)
• ocl-icd-libopencl1 (to run CUDA apps)

Install Python package.

python3 setup.py install

Perform initial setup, run benchmarks (approx. 5 minutes/algorithm/card).
