Dear GPU miners!

Today, I am pleased to announce the public launch of Progminer, mining software to support ProgPoW mining!

Based on the latest version of Ethminer software Progminer provides a powerful, stable, open source mining tool to connect mining pools and mine coins on ProgPoW.

Currently Progminer is the only mining software that supports the latest spec of ProgPoW ( v0.9.2 ) (https://github.com/ifdefelse/ProgPOW), and Progminer is the only software to support mining on ethereum-like networks with commodity hardwares.

As we’d some QAs and bug fixes since the first version of Progminer ( v1.0.0 ) release, now we’ve confirmed that Progminer works for most mining rigs to mine ethereum, such as Geforce GTX 1080 or Radeon RX480.

You can download the latest version release of Progminer on our official Github page (https://github.com/gangnamtestnet/progminer/releases) and please report the bugs if you got them, you can submit issue on our github repository (https://github.com/gangnamtestnet/progminer/issues) or use our discord channel (https://discordapp.com/invite/ZYfFbMH) to find some help.

Also we recommend to use our Gangnam Testnet Pool (https://testnet.progpool.pro) to check if your rig supports Progminer before using it for mainnet, don’t hesitate to see the working version of ProgPoW!

We appreciate for your contribution.



How to use:

Download progminer version with the exact match of cuda version installed on your rig, recommended version is CUDA 10 with latest graphic driver installed.


Example option:

Code:
./progminer -P stratum://0xaa16a61dec2d3e260cd1348e48cd259a5fb03f49.test@progpool.pro:8008

progminer.exe -P stratum://0xaa16a61dec2d3e260cd1348e48cd259a5fb03f49.test@progpool.pro:8008


Failover:

Add more pools on the option at the startup, for example

Code:
progminer.exe -P stratum://0xaa16a61dec2d3e260cd1348e48cd259a5fb03f49.test@progpool.pro:8008 -P stratum://0xaa16a61dec2d3e260cd1348e48cd259a5fb03f49.test@backup.progpool.pro:8008

will work if the main pool is down.


Tested environment:

- GTX 1070 & RX 570 tested


Changelog:

- ProgPoW support added on latest version of ethminer

- CUDA support added

- OpenCl support added

- Some fixes & update for latest ProgPoW spec ( 0.9.2 )

nice, but
last cuda 9 version is: 9.2
and support for 9.2 is missing...

./ccminer: /usr/local/cuda/lib64/libnvrtc.so.9.1: version `libnvrtc.so.9.1' not found (required by ./ccminer)

This doesn't seem to work. I'm getting only rejected shares on all bitcoin interest pools I tried ... has anyone actually tested this?

EDIT: https://github.com/gangnamtestnet/progminer/issues/9#issue-398608948

I take it that ProgPow 0.9.2 is incompatible with the version used in Bitcoin-Interest

Will deploy a CUDA 9.2 and 10 support version at the future, thanks  :D

Progminer tends to work for Ethereum based networks only and therefore doesn't support BCI since it has a whole different mining algo and RPC structure.

Just received an report of constant crash and connection problem at the start of the miner,

Please try
Code:
stratum1+tcp://
instead of
Code:
stratum://
if it doesn't work on establishing connection with the pool

 I receive a notice ( although my graphics card works significantly below a standards clocks  from 1380 MHz  for a GPU and 2050 MHz for GPU DDR5 RAM) :

Is there any coin that can currently mining with this software for real profits (which is not experimental)?

Bitcoin Interest is using progpow for mainet, check any calculators online for profit.

I get the same information for all 5 of my rigs. I downclocks  all cards to even 1000 mhz for GPU and 1750 mhz for GPU DDR5 RAM and again the same.

Progminer wouldn't work for Bitcoin Interest since they use their own version of ProgPoW, we are based on the latest specification of ProgPoW ( v0.9.2 )

You should use the latest "amd" supported version of Progminer https://github.com/gangnamtestnet/progminer/releases/tag/v1.1.0-amd

Hi dev!
Can you make failover pools in the config file.json?

Add more pool address on command line and you will be good

example) progminer.exe -P stratum1+tcp://0xaa16a61dec2d3e260cd1348e48cd259a5fb03f49.test@progpool.pro:8008 -P stratum1+tcp://0xaa16a61dec2d3e260cd1348e48cd259a5fb03f49.test@backup.progpool.pro:8008

Sorry for that, there was a bug on AMD miner and it is now fixed on latest version 1.1.1 You should use the latest "amd" supported version of Progminer https://github.com/gangnamtestnet/progminer/releases/tag/v1.1.1-amd

Just added this miner to: https://progpow.pro/miningSoftware.php

ProgPow could get delayed but Constantinople Hard Fork is scheduled to February 27th:

Vitalik have already proved he doesn't like miners and he told ASICS are not a problem, so i hope that him and his centralized project will fall soon.

There is so many coins that are home miners friendly it is better to improve them.

Despite the fact that Ethereum is the 2nd biggest currency for POW mining and has paid most of the share for GPU mining industry...

I assume that is a bug from upstream ethminer release, have you tried out with ethminer?

I've found out this would be helpful for AMD card detection problem.
