Configuration Examples
Example command lines for each miner. Replace POOL_ADDRESS, POOL_PORT, and WALLET_ADDRESS with your actual values.
T-Rex Miner (NVIDIA)
Optimized for NVIDIA GPUs. Includes web monitoring interface.
t-rex -a etchash -o stratum+tcp://POOL_ADDRESS:POOL_PORT -u WALLET_ADDRESS -p x -w worker1lolMiner (AMD/NVIDIA)
Cross-platform miner supporting both AMD and NVIDIA GPUs.
lolMiner --algo ETCHASH --pool POOL_ADDRESS:POOL_PORT --user WALLET_ADDRESS.worker1TeamRedMiner (AMD)
Best performance on AMD GPUs. Supports RX and RDNA series.
teamredminer -a etchash -o stratum+tcp://POOL_ADDRESS:POOL_PORT -u WALLET_ADDRESS.worker1 -p xGMiner (AMD/NVIDIA)
High performance miner with dual mining support.
miner --algo etchash --server POOL_ADDRESS:POOL_PORT --user WALLET_ADDRESS.worker1Optimization Tips
NVIDIA GPUs
- Lock memory clock to maximum for best hashrate
- Reduce core clock and power limit to improve efficiency
- Use MSI Afterburner or nvidia-smi for overclocking
AMD GPUs
- Enable Compute Mode in AMD drivers
- Adjust memory timings for additional hashrate gains
- Use MorePowerTool for voltage control on RDNA cards
Security Notice
Only download mining software from official sources linked above. Mining software may trigger antivirus warnings due to its nature - these are typically false positives but always verify checksums when available. Never download miners from unofficial sources as they may contain malware.
