Here are some of the best open source miners with their supported algorithms:

ethminer: Supports Ethash.

ethash: Supports Ethash.

acominer: Supports Ethash.

kawpowminer: Supports ProgPoW.

Ravencoin: Supports KawPow.

VerthashMiner: Supports Verthash.

bfgminer: Supports Keccak, scrypt, and sha256d.

XMRig Supports RandomX, KawPow, CryptoNight, AstroBWT, and GhostRider.

sgminer-phi2-branch: Supports ethash, phi2, lyra2Z[z], allium, x25x, lyra2REv2/v3, argon2d, yescrypt, neoscrypt, 0x10

ccminer: Supports a long list of algorithms

cpuminer-opt: Supports more than ninety algorithms

I tried to find the latest Gateless Gate Sharp but it seems like it has been removed, and there's only an earlier version available for some reason.

If you know of any other open source miner, specially if it's being actively developed, please share it here.

Weird, how does a closed source miner looks like because im just hearing this for the first time or you meant to say centralized mining platforms like minergate? .... Closed or open source a miner works and the dev gets their percentage on it, we move.

I'm mostly interested in the source code itself, rather than the miner binaries working correctly.

Heaps of other threads here about the best closed sourced miners.

You can add nsfminer and kawpowminer to your list.
The GitHub repositories are linked on my page/app in the signature.

Thanks, added kawpowminer. It seems that nsfminer stopped being developed (repository is read only since about a year ago)

Thanks, it looks very specific(only for Linux, AMD, and Ethash), but it's been actively developed so I added it to the list.
