because i read about Linux and that Linux have a very big chance to found blocks and bigger hash-rates if compared with windows,so what the best mining software for mine Bitcoin

Even if you use Bitcoin through Tor, the way transactions are handled by the network makes anonymity difficult to achieve. Do not expect your transactions to be anonymous unless you really know what you're doing.

For mining Bitcoin just CPU or GPU's: None. Perhaps read this pinned msg as to why... Mainly point-3 Now as for running cgminer as a front end to say Sidehack's newest USB stick miners -- use Linux. I initially ran that stick under Win10 and later moved it to a RasPi3B: at same clock speed using Raspian gave a 10% increase in hash rate and allowed the stick be remain stable almost 150MHz faster than it did under Winbloze. |

The best is always dependent on the criteria you use. The best open source Bitcoin miner software currently available in my mind is the cgminer fork of kano: https://github.com/kanoi/cgminerThat one supports the GekkoScience Compac F miners. If you have some older FPGAs, then probably you'll be able to use them with luke-jr's bfgminer: https://github.com/luke-jr/bfgminer |

The older FPGAs were implemented in cgminer first, some by me. They are still there. Though I wouldn't suggest anyone mine with them, they use way too much power and way too tiny hash rate. |

CGMiner
CGMiner is the most famous out of these all. It is based on the CPU miner.
BFGMiner
BFGMiner is more or less the same as CGMiner. The only major difference is that it doesn't focus on GPUs like CGMiner but instead it is designed specifically for ASICs.
Nice hash
This bitcoin mining software offers cloud mining services, it provides mining software to bitcoin persons who can get you GPU/CPU and you will start earning bitcoins.

Take note that Nicehash is not mining Bitcoin the software only mines altcoin through CPU/GPU and Nicehash pays Bitcoin and Nicehash sells your hashrate to buyers/renting. Unless you have an ASIC machine you can also mine on their Nicehash pool with SHA256 algo that pays Bitcoin but still they sell your hashrate to buyers(People who want to rent your hashrate). |

The 'cg' originally stood for CPU GPU but code for using those was removed long long ago by -ck and Kano back when they still collaborated. While cgminer still does support some FPGA's, it has been primarily geared for ASICS for many many years now. |

Here I have something to give you but I am not sure if it is still okay for linux mate one of these is Cgminer, Multi miner and Bfg miner. But try to do some research before you get into this kind of thing. Although there are pros and cons to what I mentioned, but it's up to you if you like something there mate, good luck. |

ck stopped developing cgminer some years ago, but kano continued developing it. For example, the GekkoScience Compac F was released in 2021, and support for it was added in cgminer by kano. You can see that there's also recent activity in that repo: https://github.com/kanoi/cgminerbfgminer doesn't seem to be as active, but still there are some changes from last year: https://github.com/luke-jr/bfgminer |

I still think you should rename it, The "cg" in cgminer stands for cpu gpu miner... aminer? asicminer? |

cgminer name is fine, it supports a massive amount of devices and has an amazing track record. If you're looking for changing a name, then your software might be renamed to Antminer: Supported models: S19, S19 Pro, S19j, S19j Pro, T19, S17, S17 Pro, S17+, S17e, T17, T17+, T17e & S9 [i, j] |

Besides its called bosminer as in Braiins OS miner. cgminer literally means Cpu Gpu miner, so it is a very valid question made by BitcoinSoloMiner. The remaining maintainer that did a fork since he was kicked from it; has stated that it no longer supports cpus or gpus, yet it remains in the name causing unnecessary confusion and it is a defacto fork anyway, so its the perfect chance to rename it. Now you can't simply talk about cgminer because you don't know if its the one kano keeps changing or the previous one, again adding to confusion. So people need to say kano's cgminer or such, is that better for you? I did suggest the name kanominer in the past... You are also welcome to add even more hardware support to cgminer. Oh which cgminer? Naturally Kano's, what he would say if you were to do it to the other one? oh no no no... See? Sticking to an old meaningless name makes no sense, but sure, feel free to keep it, not like it matters. Remember: Cpu Gpu Miner (Kano's edition) neither supports CPUs or GPUs. Got it? Easy! not... |

I still think you should rename it, The "cg" in cgminer stands for cpu gpu miner... aminer? asicminer? Yeah I can pull the IRC records of the discussion back in 2012. I came up with ... BFG ... Bitcoin FPGA GPU miner (and of course it also means Big Fucking Gun) Someone, who happened to be in the IRC channel at the time, stole that name shortly after that ... But anyway, yeah it didn't change back when we removed CPU and it isn't going to happen now. It really doesn't matter what the letters mean, it's a name and it stays. It's like asking what the fuck does Coke mean? Well it means it has cocaine in it. Yep Coke originally had cocaine in it. Then they stopped doing that ... ... ... but didn't change the name. |

Naturally Kano's, what he would say if you were to do it to the other one? oh no no no... And he would be right to do so because Kano has done a fair bit of updates to cgminer since -ck stopped supporting it & locked his git. Now, if someone wants to add more hardware support to the out-of-date version, fine and dandy but that would be a pretty silly thing to do. As for the community 'needing cpu/gpu support': This is the Bitcoin area - not alts - BTC outgrew being mineable with them long long ago. Since Kano has rather strong feelings regarding scamcoins (which are the only thing mineable with cpu/gpu) that ain't gonna happen. |

It's all there in the both his and my git up until he quit. My git it where I originally put code before it was pushed to his git, now it just stays in my git. |
