Hi,
TT-Miner Version 2.1.4 is available.
The new miner is available as command line version only, I dropped the windows GUI release because there was no need for it. So far, I have support for windows 7, 8.1 & 10 and Nvidia. The miner required about 4-5 minutes until it shows a stable hashrate. To get independed information about miner speeds you should always compare hashrates @ the pool, shares @ the pool or just the profit you made.
The DevFee is 1% for all algos.
Supported algorithms:
- PROGPOW (BCI, more to come)
- ETHASH (ETC, ETH, etc....)
- UBQHASH (UBIQ)
- MTP (Zcoin)
TT-Miner should NOT be recognized as virus - please check the VirusTotal information:

TT-MinerCmd.exe -A PROGPOW-100 -P YOUR_WALLET.YOUR_WORKER@POOL_SERVER:POOL_PORT
If you look for possible command line options please start the miner with the -h or --help option: TT-Miner.exe -h
Download link:
https://TradeProject.de/download/Miner/TT-Miner.zipThe miner required the latest C-runtime from Microsoft. If some dlls are missing when you start the miner you might need to install the CRT. You can get the CRT from Microsoft:

Happy mining!

Hi,
I have developed a new GUI miner for Windows OS and Nvidia GPU. It comes with two separate application. The TradeTec-Miner.exe and the TradeTec-MinerControl.exe. You can install them on the same box, but this is not a requirement. It comes as a zip file and does not need any installation. Just extract it and run it. If it crashes or just do not show up it might be that you do not have the VC runtime 2017 from Microsoft installed. This is a requirement and you find the link to download the package later.
The current release is
18.12.50.41This is how the version number is generated: Version 18.10.40.20: 18 = 2018, 10 = October, 40 = the 40th week of the year, 20 = build #20
The package comes now in a single compressed zip file and contains both version, the GUI release as well as the command line version. It contains the releases for CUDA 9.2 and CUDA 10.0 and includes the algos for Ethash and ProgPoW.
Command line Version:
Please note that you have to add the new option -A ALGONAME to define the algo you want to use for mining. Possible values for 'ALGONAME' are:
- PROGPOW-100
- PROGPOW-92
- ETHASH-100
- ETHASH-92
- UBQHASH-100
- UBQHASH-92
Here is a sample that connects to CoinBlockers (ProgPoW algo):
CUDA 10.0 for Turing: TradeTec-MinerCmd.exe -A PROGPOW-100 -P stratum+tcp://YOUR_WALLET.YOUR_WORKER@bci-eu.coinblockers.com:3910
CUDA 9.20 for Pascal: TradeTec-MinerCmd.exe -A PROGPOW-92 -P stratum+tcp://YOUR_WALLET.YOUR_WORKER@bci-eu.coinblockers.com:3910
For all supported options enter: TradeTec-MinerCmd.exe -h
You will find samples for each algo in the package that you can modify to fit your needs. If you do not specify -cbd or -cgs the miner will try to calculate good performing values for grid and block size. Anyway you can play around with these values. Make sure that you use power of 2 values and that the value for blocksize is in a range from 128 to 768.
GUI-Version:
Here are screenshots of the Miner and the MinerControl:

Start the TradeTec-MinerControl and activate the menu ‘Edit’->’Add new pool…’. A new dialog will pop up and allows you to enter all required information like server/port and User/password or wallet address. The click ‘Add Pool’ and you new pool will show up in the ‘Available Pools’ window.
Here are some Guidelines what to enter in the field to make a new coin/pool configuration working. Thanks to ol92 for pointing to the missing information.
Name: A unique name for your new coin/pool configuration
Algorithm: Select the required algo for your coin. So far you can chose from either Ethash or ProgPoW
Server/Port: Enter the connection information, the server and the required port to connect to your pool.
There is no need for the stratum+tcp prefix since the TradeTec uses an algorithm to detect the protocol in use.
Wallet/User: In most cases you enter your wallet address. If you pool requires 'login' first (like suprnova) you enter your Username for that pool.
Password: Can be left empty for most pools. If you pool requires a login (suprnova) you enter the password for you worker
Worker override: Can be left empty in most cases. If you enter a workername here it will replace the 'rig-workername'. In this case all rigs will use this workername. If you use suprnove it is a good idea to enter the workername that you use in the suprnova worker configuration.
So a sample configuration to mine ETC on ethermine.org would look like this:
Name: My ETC Ethermine config (POOL)
Algorithm: Ethash (Dagger-Hashimoto)
Server: eu1-etc.ethermine.org Port: 4444
Wallet/User: 'YOUR ETC WALLET ADDRESS'
To mine BCI on Suprnova:
Name: My BCI Suprnova config (POOL)
Algorithm: ProgPoW (Programmatic Proof-of-Work)
Server: bci.suprnova.cc Port: 9166
Wallet/User: 'YOUR SUPRNOVA USERNAME'
Password: 'YOUR SUPRNOVA WORKER-PASSWORD'
Worker override: 'YOUR WOKER-NAME ON SUPRNOVA'
To make things easier the miner will now extract the information it needs from the regular pool server string. If you paste this string into the server field 'stratum+tcp://solo-bci.altpool.pro:2242' the miner will extract the information it requires: Server address & Port number. It will also remove the stratum service information.
Add you rigsNext stop is to add your rigs. Go to ‘Edit’->’Add new rig…’. Now the dialog to add an IP/port pair shows up. Enter the information to allow the control software to connect with the miner-rig. If you run the Miner and the MinerControl on the same box you can use the loopback address (127.0.0.1) and the default port 8010 if that is OK for you. Otherwise enter the IP of the rig.
Start the minerNow you should start the miner software TradeTec-Miner.exe on your mining rig. You see a window with some information. From the top to the bottom you see:
- Pool-Information: Name, Server/Port job id and performance data
- GPU information: Type, memory, clocks, temp, fan, cuda-comp version and performance data related to the selected GPU in your rig
- Setting for the MinerControl: Selected IP-Interface, port and a button to allow a connection from the MinerControl to the Miner. Also, you can choose if this interface is activated by default or not.
- Miner settings: Hostname, default worker name, mining time and a button to start mining. This allows you to control the Miner even without the MinerControl Software. You can also setup if the Miner should start mining if the program starts.
- Last section show you’re a list of the installed and available cuda devices with some information. The model, the pool that is used for mining, the current mining speed for that device, the submitted and rejected shares and the time the last share was sent.
If you enable the control interface (click on ‘Start listen’) the MinerControl should connect to the miner. You can now continue with the configuration with the MinerControl software.
Assign a pool to the GPUIf the MinerControl and the Miner are connected you can see the list of available GÜPUs in the Control Software. In the window ‘GPUs installed on selected Rig’ you see the list of your GPUs. You can also see that there are no pools assigned to them. Just click on the field saying ‘Unassigned – not used’ and a listbox will open with your available pool configurations. Just select the pool you want the GPU to mine to.
Start miningNow you can start the mining process if you right-click on the rig in the ‘Available Rigs’ window and execute ‘start mining’ on the context menu. You should see the miner reflecting your commands. Since ETHASH works with DAG files it will take about 20 seconds until you see the process and the mining speed going up.
