Quick Start

Install the following dependencies (this list is for 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)

Optionally, install this to enable the GUI interface:

• python3-wxgtk4.0

Then, install nuxhash.

$ sudo apt install python3-pip
$ sudo pip3 install git+https://github.com/xjodoin/nuxhash

To start the daemon, run nuxhashd. To start the graphical interface, run nuxhash-gui.

Donation Fee

nuxhash will donate 0.5% of its mining time to me. If you don't like this, you may opt out by setting the flag in the configuration file (located by default at ~/.config/nuxhash/settings.conf). Currently, there are no penalties if you do so, but please consider sending me a one-time donation.

Roadmap

• Daemon with basic mining logic
• Automatic miner downloads and integrity checking
• Finish wx-based GUI
• Implement other miners
• Support AMD devices

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