    Discontinued Ethereum miner with OpenCL, CUDA and stratum support

  • I discovered ethminer that time and was happy to see great example of collaboration in crypto dev community, it was outdated for newest CUDA, so I found nsfminer, that's the fork updated by one of previous contributors.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.
