StrataMiner is ready for beta testing. Looking for a few brave miners.

Go to https://strataminer.com to learn and install.

Features

Windows and Linux - Made for both. Client and Control Center don't need to be on the same OS either.

Profit Switching - Flip the switch and you'll always be mining the best currency for each device.

Any pool - StrataMiner works with any pool using a standard stratum protocol.

Web Portal - Control your rigs from anywhere on the planet with an internet connection.

24 coins and counting - AEON, Bitcoin Gold, Denarius, Ethereum, Ethereum Classic, GoByte, Groestlcoin, HUSH, Komodo, LOKI, Monacoin, Monero, MusicCoin, Pirl, Quantum Resistant Ledger, Ravencoin, Trezarcoin, Ubiq, Verge, Vertcoin, Vivo, ZCash, ZClassic, Zen. More coming.

Exchange address generation - StrataMiner can generate deposit addresses on your Cryptopia and Bittrex accounts. Once your crypto hits your exchange, you can easily exchange for 100s of others. More exchanges coming soon.

One-click updates - No installers required for updates of mining core software. Stay up-to-date through Control Center with a single click.

Community features - With pool sharing enabled, you become part of a community working to ensure pools are always available and trustworthy. This service is part of StrataMiner's commitment to decentralized mining.

Hashrate verification - StrataMiner's proprietary Adaptive Proxy technology enables auditing of pool communications to verify that hashrate reports match share submission statistics. In other words, StrataMiner makes sure everybody is being honest.

Familiar miner cores - Ethminer, Claymore Miner, CCMiner, EWBF, XMR-Stak

Automatic network configuration - The Control Center and Client know how to find each other. Turn them on and go.

Email notifications - Requires Gmail. Receive an email if something's not right. The messaging is still a little rudimentary.

Low fees - 0.5% for development. Miner cores and pools may have additional fees.

Earnings tracking - Earnings estimations are tracked over time. Earnings are recorded in both USD and crypto.

Market data - Up-to-date market information for each currency, including market capitalization, price, and 24-hour change.

Open source software - The Control Center is open-source and written in Python 3. See https://github.com/StrataMiner/pystrata if you're interested in fiddling with the code.

What you get for your fee

New miners and algorithms - New stable miners will be incorporated based on community desire. Strataminer tracks algorithm changes and blockchain forks for you, so you'll always have working software, if available.

New coins - Many can be added within hours of receiving a request. No software updates required.

New features - The feature set will be improved based on community feedback. This is only the beginning.

Technical support - Development fees enable StrataMiner to respond to issues and fix bugs quickly and continuously.

StrataMiner API - New coin data, new mining software, and some market data come from the StrataMiner API.

Of course, a major drawback is that you need an address for each currency that you want to mine.
If you have Cryptopia and Bittrex accounts, you can use auto-generation to make addresses for
all but 4 of the supported currencies (XMR, AEON, LOKI, QRL). I'll work on integrating Binance, CoinExchange, and HitBTC next.

The Coinomi mobile wallet can also get you 16 of the 24 supported currencies.

You'll need pretty fresh drivers, partly for StrataMiner and partly for the miner cores, i.e. Ethminer, ...
I actually expect to ease up on StrataMiner's driver requirements a little, but you'll still want to keep fresh drivers for the mining software updates, as they come.

StrataMiner is not affiliated with or sponsored by any exchange, any pool, any other website, or any other software vendor.
