GPU mining software for LBC ?
I've used ccminer to play around with GPU mining LBC. I don't have much capable hardware and haven't earned anything but this will do it.

how to
I think there's some GUI miner, but you can just dowoad CCMiner, find a pool, make a batch file and you're ready.
- I just started mining GRLC with crappy hardware and I'm having a blast figuring it out! Can everyone link their favorite mining software? Everything I'm finding is at least 3 years old.

Am I doing my part? yes!
Not much to it, I got the CCMiner app from it's github page, https://github.com/tpruvot/ccminer/releases. I'm not endorsing or advocating here, but I'm using this pool in my config file.

New Mining Pool!
I strongly suggest using ccminer (https://github.com/tpruvot/ccminer/releases), I've had the best experience with it by far after trying several others. No need to compile, there's an executable and config file that's easy to edit.

PhoenixMiner - How/Why/What? Statement from IT Expert that will answer MOST of your questions.
Devfee miners - made by anonymous developers Since the era of Claymore, the most prominent, "imperialists of mining", developers of miners were always anonymous, covered their tracks well and never exposed any private part of their life. This is completely contra-intuitive, because if you have a successful legal business, you want to make it official, so you get "clean" money, you can buy houses, cars, yachts and so on. The only reason to make anonymous business is when doing illegal business - which coding and earning with mining software is NOT. One of the reasons why business would like to stay anonymous is tax evasion. But considering amount of money developers make - we are talking millions yearly. Claymore was making up to 100 million yearly in his golden times. It is completely impractical to do tax evasion for such huge amounts, because money laundering brings you too much hassle plus it is illegal and you are risking a lot for just several million more of cash. And if you are getting eg 50 million yearly you probably don't go underground doing money laundering to get out 40 million instead of 35 million (with taxes fully paid). So, forward thinking... what would be another possible reason to stay anonymous when earning millions? What if your business is created on shoulders of someone else and you would have ti give a large portion of your income to someone else? Licenses! I suspect that all anonymous developers of miners are violating GNU GPL v3 (https://github.com/tpruvot/ccminer/blob/windows/LICENSE.txt) which is a license that requires you to open (show code) your product on request. Developers would lose their devfee in this case, so this is something they simply cannot do. This is the only logical conclusion that I have been able to think of. If they made their business legal, they could have fought AntiVirus companies that are massively blocking miner software thus increasing their reach and profit; they would've been fully trusted in the community, they would've been listed among top Crypto companies. But all of them decide NOT to do this. Only developer of lolminer dares to expose himself - because he made his own miner code base and did not violate GPL. Now you know most likely why these developers are anonymous.

this is probably bad but i wanted to jump on the chaos bc why not
Download ccminer-2.3.1-cuda10.7z and extract it somewhere https://github.com/tpruvot/ccminer/releases

Suspend Mining while running on UPS Battery with command
Hi! I'm not sure if it is possible, but take a look at the Excavator API. You might be able to use it to achieve this: https://github.com/nicehash/excavator/tree/master/api

NiceHash manages to unlock LHR cards to 100% performance! More details in the comments.
So I copied the command.json example file and put it in the quickminer folder (make sure it's 0.5.4 RC version) then edited it to set my own config:
- Excavator v1.7.6.2 LHR issues

Reverse engineer NHOS to build linux app?
So, since the nuxhash project doesnt work anymore for newer nvidia gpus, and the latest available nicehash miner is from 2018, I was thinking, is it possible to reverse engineer NHOS to create a nicehash app for linux?
-
Is it possible to use Excavator outside of NiceHash Miner to a Binance Pool?
I would like to use something as simple as possible with lowest fees. Trex miner seemed okay-ish, it has 1% fee though (compared to PhoenixMiner with 0.65% afaik). I found that there is this Excavator with 0 developer fee, and I am wondering if it is possible to use it without the NiceHash Miner app? If so, how can I do that?
-
Excavator update?
On Github there is an excavator version 1.7.1d build 880 since April but how come this is not pushed to nicehasher miner. 1.6.11.f is latest according to the program. Whats the changelog?
- Does nice hash 'quick miner' have any api so I can control it through software?
-
Nvidia better than amd for mining while gaming? Help?
https://github.com/nicehash/excavator/issues/37 this might help though, I do remember playing with the extra parameters years ago when mining can't remember whether it worked or not though.
