[ANN] NSF Miner - ethereum miner without fee [AMD+Nvidia/Windows+Linux]

[yatmadan_kazan]

Thanks, - R worked well!

Question, can this miner be used with older AMD Rx580?

Yes, but ethminer runs better with opencl kernel support for RX580

Ethminer runs better with 6800, 6800 xt and 6900 xt for my rig too.
6800 sapphire nitro+
6800 xt msi,
6900 xt xfx

I can't believe nobody noticed that yet, although people already complained that running it from the command line with --help parameter doesn't work as expected and the program wants to run as admin and install something instead, which should raise lots of red flags.

OP is spreading a virus, since his binary links lead to no-fee-ethereum-minlng instead of no-fee-ethereum-mining (L instead of I). It's a 1:1 copy of the original GitHub repo regarding the source files, but with different (malicious) binaries on its "releases" page. If you use this you probably mine on someone elses behalf instead for yourself.

One minute, now I'll double-check

I'm sure it wasn't on purpose - that you can easily fall for such a link is the whole idea about creating such a repo. But yes, you should always double-check such links, people actually click on them 

I also reported the repo on GitHub, hopefully it's removed soon.

At the moment everything is normal, I also complained about the github account, now I will look at the history of logins to the account and change the password at the same time.
Thanks for the info

mmmh, that's why probably I wasn't able to install it
In fact 1.34 worked, 1.37 upward weren't installing correctly
I will delete everything then

The original Windows binary doesn't need an installation, also no admin permissions. You just put the nsfminer.exe somewhere and run it (with arguments, so from a .bat file for more convenience). When running "nfsminer --help" on a CMD window it should output help infos, instead of asking for admin permissions and trying to install something.

For me the trojan created a file znsfminer.exe in C:\Windows\SysWOW64 - it also created the files helppane.exe (and put it in automatic startup) and libssp-0.dll in C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft\libraries\commons-logging\commons-logging\1.1.3. I guess it just selected a random folder within the user directory that has sufficient tree levels to hide the files "down there", because I don't find any reference for these specific files in this specific folder (and not everyone has Minecraft installed). So for everyone else it's probably in different folders. You could search for the .exe or .dll name within your user folder, although there is no guarantee it won't use a different file name (that usually belongs to a valid system file in Windows) on other systems.

That's the thing's I know because Windows Defender detected them. I don't know whether there is more and I should rather reinstall Windows now, still investigating...

I have a rig 12x3080, put it on the test. I will write the result in a day

write down the result, I think it's interesting to know and the rest of who will be interested in the miner

[Yurizhai]

New update coming soon

[Yurizhai]

Do you have any suggestions for what new to add to the miner?

Some information about the GPU (temperature, fan speed, power draw...) would be nice.

it would be cool if these functions were included in the new update

in future updates

The result came out about 1260 Mh/s
Quite a good hashrate, considering that there is no devfee

NFSMiner and TREX/Gminer same result Mhs and share (juste remove 0.65% or 1% for check real hashrate)

I think this is a very good result for a miner who is exposed without dev fee

Small update for NSFminer

NSFminer v1.3.9 release note:
-Fix unknown console log entry in Windows
-Update Windows CUDA toolkit to cuda_11.2.2_461.33

Yuritzai,
Now, I am annoyed, to say the least.

Please write here what is supposed to happen if I launch a bat file with
nsfminer --help

because, it seem that, again,  that your github link is compromised

I also did not understand the story of --help? and virus etc .. more in hiveOS, he would have seen no problem since in the version?

About miner
NSFminer is an Ethash GPU mining application: with nsfminer you can mine every coin which relies on an Ethash Proof of Work.
This is a direct descendent of the Ethminer project at https://github.com/ethereum-mining/ethminer. Since that project is largely abandoned and unmanaged this personal version is published with the hope that it may continue to be useful.
Project Owner & Developer @jean-m-cyr

Features
-OpenCL mining
-Nvidia CUDA mining
-Realistic benchmarking
-Stratum mining without proxy
-Automatic devices configuration
-Farm failover

How to use
NSFminer is a command line program. This means you launch it either from a Windows command prompt or Linux console, or create shortcuts to predefined command lines using a Linux Bash script or Windows batch/cmd file. For a full list of available command, please run:

Code:

nsfminer --help

Once is negligence, twice is malicious.

This thread and its author can't be trusted. Bookmark the real github and don't ever use any links from this thread.

[skablast]

this version at least start and it doesn't seem to be a trojan
but:

The miner is unable to list devices with some polaris 8gb and some 4gb in the slots and no Nvidia in the rig

What is needed in future update:

a readme file with all the command available
an example in which some device is used and some other are not

The two meaning of the same letter with lower case and UPPERCASE doesn't make sense -h -H -l -L etc..

The sintax of the miner is in conflit with the sintax of this pool: Ezil.me  where a lot of people is double mining Eth

The miner with 4 rtx 3070 is offering almost the same hashrate as Trex, with more unvalid shares with the same oc BUT its powerconsumption is 2 % lower that is a very good point
