nsfminer VS GMinerRelease

I discovered ethminer that time and was happy to see great example of collaboration in crypto dev community, it was outdated for newest CUDA, so I found nsfminer, that's the fork updated by one of previous contributors. It has no DEV fee and based on original ethminer, so I pretty much trust the code, even if it has no maintenance since mid of 2021.

This one's better: https://github.com/no-fee-ethereum-mining/nsfminer

I've never used it, but NSFMiner is supposed to be a fork of Ethminer, except the author updated it to support 30 series. https://github.com/no-fee-ethereum-mining/nsfminer

Not really. There are protocols between miner software and pool operators. There are also some miner software out there that can evaluate prior to submission to the pool if a hash result is invalid or not. The open source ethminer used to do it until it's development stopped. Pretty sure some devs forked the code into NSFminer.

I would not risk it. If you need to use one on a device with sensitive info, I'd go with an open source version https://github.com/no-fee-ethereum-mining/nsfminer

Happens because of this devfee bullshit. Get a miner that does not steal from you. Open source https://github.com/no-fee-ethereum-mining/nsfminer

I switched to flexpool with nsfminer.

ETC Mining Programs, Gminer, T-Rex Miner

It sounds like you have never mined a coin before * 1st find a coin to mine * 2nd find a pool to mine too * 3rd there are typically basic instructions on how to start mining on what ever pool you pick * lets pretend you picked raven coin and you wanted to mine to the flypool.com pool. * now if you look on their website you can find https://ravencoin.flypool.org/start * in here you can see they listed common miner programs people use when mining to their pool * Kawpowminer , T-Rex Miner , GMiner , TT-Miner , NBMiner * lets pretend you picked GMiner you can see they send you a link to the official Gminer page that will help you figure out how to get it going * Download & Configuration Guide

download gminer (it's the miner I use), the windows64.zip file

cd /tmp && mkdir gminer && cd gminer && wget https://github.com/develsoftware/GMinerRelease/releases/download/2.92/gminer_2_92_linux64.tar.xz && tar -xvf gminer_2_92_linux64.tar.xz && /hive/bin/miner stop && mv miner /hive/miners/gminer/2.91/gminer && /hive/bin/miner start
