How to setup NBMiner for GPU mining

Compatible algorithms: Ethash, Etchash, Kawpow, Autolykos, BeamHash, Octopus

Download the mining files

You can get NBMiner from their official website:

https://nbminer.com



Here is also the official README.

Setup with a start.bat file

Once you download the file from Assets, unzip it and in the same folder as NBMiner.exe, create a start.bat file with the contents:

nbminer.exe -a etchash -o stratum+tcp://etchash.unmineable.com:3333 -u YourAlias.WorkerName -log
pause

Some things to consider:

If your GPU meet the minimum memory for Kawpow mining (6GB of memory) you can join our Kawpow pool, just update the -a parameter to: -a kawpow and set the -o param to: stratum+tcp://kp.unmineable.com:3333

You can also join our new Ethash pool (ETHW based) if your GPU meet the minimum requirement (6GB of memory):

nbminer.exe -a ethash -o stratum+tcp://ethash.unmineable.com:3333 -u YourAlias.WorkerName -log
pause

Kindly note that profitability is not the same as it was before The Merge. Also, because of the current ETHW high price volatility, expected daily rewards will vary.

The Autolykos algorithm is now available, GPUs with at least 3GB VRAM are supported at this time by changing the pool url to stratum+tcp://autolykos.unmineable.com:3333 and updating the -a parameter to: -a ergo

You can point your workers to our port 4444 (SSL) if your are having connection issues caused by possible firewall / ISP restrictions, just set the -o parameter to:

nbminer.exe -a ergo -o stratum+ssl://autolykos.unmineable.com:4444 -u YourAlias.WorkerName -log 
pause

In order to start mining through our just added algorithm BeamHash, simply update the -a parameter to: -a beamv3 and set the -o param to:

-o stratum+ssl://beamhash.unmineable.com:4444:

nbminer.exe -a beamv3 -o stratum+ssl://beamhash.unmineable.com:4444 -u YourAlias.WorkerName -log
pause

We have already added the Octopus algorithm, to join our mining pools, just update the -a param to: -a octopus and change the pool url to: stratum+ssl://octopus.unmineable.com:4444:

nbminer.exe -a octopus -o stratum+ssl://octopus.unmineable.com:4444 -u YourAlias.WorkerName -log
pause

Once you have the start.bat file, simply double click it, a terminal window will show up and you will be now mining! 😀

Some things to consider

Accounts are now available and make mining significantly more flexible!

As part of this update, using an Alias is now the preferable way to start mining. This allows you to better manage your activity and distribute your hashrate across our supported coins with greater control.

If you haven’t created an Account yet, you can easily do so through our website.

You can follow your progress in the website, by going into the Dashboard section.

Setup with a Legacy Address

Despite the addition of the Accounts section to our website and mining pool, it is still possible to mine using legacy addresses for those who prefer the classic setup or need a quick start, just be sure to set the -u param as:

-u COIN:YOUR_ADDRESS.WORKER_NAME

You must change COIN, YOUR_ADDRESS and WORKER_NAME.

COIN is the coin you are mining, for example: ADA, TRX, WIN, or more. Also keep the ":" symbol between the coin and your address. YOUR_ADDRESS must be a valid address for the coin you choose, otherwise the pool will return an error, also be sure to check the supported network for some coins, like TRC20 for USDT mining (TRON address). Your WORKER_NAME is simply any name that you would like to set for your worker, to identify it on the website.

If you are mining XRP to an exchange or other coin that require payment tags or a memo to work, don't forget to add your memo or payment tag after your address:

XRP:YourAddress:YOUR_MEMO_OR_TAG.YourWorkerName

You can follow your progress in the website, by going into the Address section of the coin you are mining.

For an easier configuration, we recommend trying our wizard for the creating a .bat/.sh file. 🧙‍♂️
