# nheqminer : CPU & GPU miner for macOS
This repository builds standalone `nheqminer` binaries for macOS platform without installing brew.
No additional dependency required, all tools (`autotools, cmake etc.`) and libraries (`boost`) are compiled from scratch.
Two flavours of nheqminer (`SSE2 and AVX`, `AVX and CUDA`) are built using `llvm-g++` with minimal binary dependency.
### Build instructions
```shell
$ git clone https://github.com/kozyilmaz/nheqminer-macos.git
$ cd nheqminer-macos
$ source environment
$ make
```
In case of an error please run the following command for debug info
```shell
$ PRINT_DEBUG=y make all
```
After successful compilation, three binaries will be created under `miner` directory
```
nheqminer-cpu (only CPU, SSE2 and AVX)[USE_CPU_TROMP, USE_CPU_XENONCAT]
nheqminer-gpu (CPU & GPU >= SM 5.0, AVX and CUDA)[USE_CPU_XENONCAT, USE_CUDA_DJEZO]
nheqminer-old (older GPU's >= SM 3.0 & < SM 5.0, AVX and CUDA)[USE_CPU_XENONCAT, USE_CUDA_DJEZO]
```
**IMPORTANT NOTE:**
**NVIDIA CUDA Toolkit 9.2 (from https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-downloads) should be installed**
**CUDA Toolkit 9.2 compatible 'Command Line Tools for Xcode 9.2' is needed (from https://developer.apple.com/download/more/)**
**nheqminer-gpu depends on CUDA capable graphics card with "Compute Capability" >= 5.0, for older ("Compute Capability" >= 3.0) cards use nheqminer-old**
### Run instructions
```Parameters:
-h Print this help and quit
-l [location] Stratum server:port
-u [username] Username (bitcoinaddress)
-a [port] Local API port (default: 0 = do not bind)
-d [level] Debug print level (0 = print all, 5 = fatal only, default: 2)
-b [hashes] Run in benchmark mode (default: 200 iterations)
CPU settings
-t [num_thrds] Number of CPU threads
-e [ext] Force CPU ext (0 = SSE2, 1 = AVX, 2 = AVX2)
NVIDIA CUDA settings
-ci CUDA info
-cv [ver] Set CUDA solver (0 = djeZo, 1 = tromp)
-cd [devices] Enable CUDA mining on spec. devices
-cb [blocks] Number of blocks
-ct [tpb] Number of threads per block
Example: -cd 0 2 -cb 12 16 -ct 64 128
```
### Simple CPU benchmarking
`./nheqminer-cpu -b -t 2`
### Simple GPU benchmarking
`./nheqminer-gpu -b -cd 0`
`./nheqminer-old -b -cd 0`
### Command line invocation for mining
`./nheqminer-xxx -l -u . `
