# Cuda Miner for Autolykos v2 (Ergo) for Nvidia GPUs
Cuda miner for [ergoplatform.com](https://github.com/ergoplatform)
You can find OpenCL miner at: [OpenCL miner](https://github.com/mhssamadani/Autolykos2_AMD_Miner)
# Quick Pooled Mining Start
1- Download the [miner](https://github.com/mhssamadani/Autolykos2_NV_Miner/releases) for desired OS.
2- Run the [ErgoStratumProxy](https://github.com/mhssamadani/ErgoStratumProxy/releases) executable (Bundled with the miner release)
- In Windows PowerShell:
```
.\ErgoStratumProxy.exe -s -p -u
```
- In linux:
```
./ErgoStratumProxy_Linux -s -p -u
```
3- Run the miner
- If neccessary, edit `config.json`; set node address to the proxy's address (by default this address is: ```{"node":"http://127.0.0.1:3000"}```)
### HTTP Info
Miner has a HTTP info page located at `http://miningnode:36207` (one can change default port by adding `-DHTTPAPI_PORT XXXX` to Makefile).
It outputs total hashrate, and per-GPU hashrates, power usages and temperatures in JSON format (relies on NVML, can fail if NVML fails - if so, JSON contains error field).
# Build
## Prerequisites (Linux)
(For Ubuntu 16.04 or 18.04)
To compile you need the following:
1. CUDA Toolkit: see [installation guide](https://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/cuda-installation-guide-linux/index.html)
2. CUDA Driver compatible with installed Toolkit: see [compatibility table](https://docs.nvidia.com/deploy/cuda-compatibility/index.html#binary-compatibility__table-toolkit-driver)
3. libcurl library: to install run
```
$ apt install libcurl4-openssl-dev
```
4. OpenSSL 1.0.2 library: to install run
```
$ apt install libssl-dev
```
## Install (Linux)
1. Change directory to `Autolykos2_NV_Miner/secp256k1`
2. Run `make`
If `make` completed successfully there will appear an executable
`Autolykos2_NV_Miner/secp256k1/auto.out` and (if not already present)
a config file `Autolykos2_NV_Miner/secp256k1/config.json` with stub contents.
## Install (Windows 64-bit)
1. Install compatible pair of MS Visual Studio C++ toolchain and CUDA toolkit [compatibility table for latest CUDA toolkit](https://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/cuda-installation-guide-microsoft-windows/)
2. Build libcurl from sources with Visual Studio toolchain [instruction](https://medium.com/@chuy.max/compile-libcurl-on-windows-with-visual-studio-2017-x64-and-ssl-winssl-cff41ac7971d)
3. Download OpenSSL 1.0.2 [installer from slproweb.com](https://slproweb.com/download/Win64OpenSSL-1_0_2u.exe)
4. Edit `secp256k1/winbuild.cmd` file, change `OPENSSL_DIR`, `LIBCURL_DIR` to your libcurl and OpenSSL directories, change `CUDA_COMPUTE_ARCH` to GPU code architecture you want
5. Find `vcvars64.bat` script, it should be in `VISUAL_STUDIO_INSTALL_DIRECTORY\VC\Auxiliary\Build`
6. Run cmd.exe, run `vcvars64.bat` script, then change dir to secp256k1, then run `winbuild.cmd`
7. If everything went good, `miner.exe` should appear in `secp256k1` directory
8. If `miner.exe` can't find `nvml.dll`, add `C:\Program Files\NVIDIA Corporation\NVSMI` to your PATH environment variable before running.
## Run (Linux)
- To run the miner you should pass a name of a configuration file `[YOUR_CONFIG]` as an optional argument
- If the filename is not specified, the miner will try to use `Autolykos2_NV_Miner/secp256k1/config.json` as a config
- The configuration file must contain json string of the following structure:
`{ "node" : "https://127.0.0.1:9052" }`
To run the miner on all available CUDA devices type:
```
$ /Autolykos2_NV_Miner/secp256k1/auto.out [YOUR_CONFIG]
```
To choose CUDA devices change and use `runner.sh` or directly change environment variable `CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES`
## Run (Windows 64-bit)
- Create a config.json file in miner directory with following structure:
`{ "node" : "https://127.0.0.1:9052" }`
To change CUDA devices available to the miner change environment variable `CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES` , for example ` set CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES="0,1" `
## Stratum Proxy
In order to use this miner with a stratum pool, a stratum proxy is needed.
- Download [Ergo Stratum Proxy](https://github.com/mhssamadani/ErgoStratumProxy)
- Run proxy
- In the miner's config file set node address to the proxy's address
(by default this address is: ```{"node":"http://127.0.0.1:3000"}```)
