MultiMiner is a graphical application for crypto-coin mining on Windows, OS X and Linux. MultiMiner simplifies switching individual devices (GPUs, ASICs, FPGAs, CPUs) between crypto-currencies such as Bitcoin and Litecoin while also allowing you to manage any mining appliances on your network (AntMiners, G-Black, Raspberry Pi controllers, Spondoolies and more).
MultiMiner uses the underlying mining engine (BFGMiner) to detect available mining devices and then presents a user interface for selecting the coins you'd like to mine.
MultiMiner also ships with a console application (TUI) for low power devices such as ARM-based miners.
MultiMiner also offers several views, allowing you to display as much or as little information as you like.
For new users, MultiMiner includes a Getting Started wizard that walks you through selecting an engine, a coin, a pool, and configuring MobileMiner.
MultiMiner will automatically download and install the latest version of BFGMiner, making it simple for the new user to get started.
You can then use the Configure Pools dialog to setup each coin that you would like to mine along with their pools, including support for load balancing.
MultiMiner supports automatically mining the most profitable coins based on a set of configurable strategies. Profitability information is updated regularly from CoinChoose, CoinWarz, WhatMine, and WhatToMine.
MultiMiner also supports features such as relaunching crashed miners, starting with Windows, minimizing to the notification area, and mining on startup.
You can also use the interface provided by MultiMiner to adjust advanced settings such as API white-listing, disabling GPU mining, and automatically adjusting mining intensity based on the computer's idle time.
Finally, MultiMiner supports MobileMiner, an open API with mobile apps for remotely monitoring and controlling your rigs.

By entering your MobileMiner email address and application key in the Configure Settings dialog, you will be able to remotely monitor and control your rigs without having to open any firewalls or forward any ports.
Downloads
You can download installers and zip files for Windows, OS X, Linux and Mono on the Github releases page.
Windows Installation
- Download and run the installer (.exe) at the above link and follow instructions
The installer runs without needing admin rights and does not install to Program Files so as not to be intrusive. However, if you prefer you can use the zip file:
- Download and extract the zip file at the above link
- Launch MultiMiner.Win.exe to get started
OS X Installation
- Install Xquartz available here
- Install the latest version of Mono
- Download and extract the .app.zip file at the above Downloads link
- Launch MultiMiner.app to get started
MultiMiner will automatically download redistributable binaries of bfgminer from the xgminer-osx project.
Linux Installation (Debian-Based)
- Install the latest version of Mono
Code:
sudo apt get install mono-complete
- Install your chosen mining engine
Code:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:unit3/bfgminer
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install bfgminer
- Download and extract the .zip file at the above Downloads link
- Run MultiMiner.Win.exe using mono:
Code:
mono MultiMiner.Win.exe
Generic Mono Installation
- Download and extract the zip file at the above Downloads link
- Install bfgminer. For OS X, you can find packages and for doing so here and instructions for using them here.
- Install X11. Under OS X you should install Xquartz available here.
- Install the latest version of Mono.
- Run MultiMiner.Win.exe using mono:
Code:
mono MultiMiner.Win.exe
Source Code
The source code is structured in such a way that it should be fairly easy to use and re-use for other projects:
- MultiMiner.Xgminer is an assembly for controling either the bfgminer executable - e.g. launching and enumerating devices
- MultiMiner.Xgminer.Api assists in communicating with the underlying miner via the RPC API
- MultiMiner.Coinchoose.Api assists in consuming the cypto-currency information available at CoinChoose.com
- MultiMiner.MobileMiner.Api facilitates communicating with the MobileMiner REST API
- MultiMiner.Engine is an assembly that can be used to interact with all functionality found in MultiMiner, but without a UI - useful for creating front-ends for other OS's
- MultiMiner.Win is the Windows Forms application
Source Code Example
The MultiMiner.Api.Example project shows how to use MultiMiner.Xgminer.dll and MultiMiner.Xgminer.Api.dll to install bfgminer, iterate through available mining devices, and launch the miner.
Afterwards the bfgminer RPC API is used to output the miner hashrate for a minute before the mining process is stopped.
Code:
//download and install the latest version of BFGMiner
const string executablePath = @"D:\bfgminer\";
const string executableName = "bfgminer.exe";
MinerBackend minerBackend = MinerBackend.Bfgminer;
Console.WriteLine("Downloading and installing {0} from {1} to the directory {2}",
executableName, Xgminer.Installer.GetMinerDownloadRoot(minerBackend), executablePath);
//download and install bfgminer from the official website
Xgminer.Installer.InstallMiner(minerBackend, executablePath);
