HydraX Miner
Free NVIDIA GPU + CPU miner — Etchash · KawPow · RandomX
…with dual GPU+CPU mining on a single app. hydrax.gg

HydraX is a free, actively-developed miner for NVIDIA GPUs and CPUs. It's our own
code and CUDA kernels (a cleanroom build — not a rebadged fork), it ships with no
config files (edit a .bat and go), and it can mine a GPU coin and Monero on your
CPU at the same time. Currently in open beta — NVIDIA only for now.

What it mines

GPU · Etchash: Ethereum Classic (ETC)
GPU · KawPow: Ravencoin (RVN), Neoxa (NEOX), Neurai (XNA), Frencoin (FREN)
CPU · RandomX: Monero (XMR)
Dual mining: a GPU coin + Monero on your CPU, simultaneously, from one .exe

Why HydraX

Our own code + kernels — cleanroom, not a fork
Dual GPU+CPU in one app — earn from an otherwise-idle CPU while the GPU mines
No config files — edit a mine-*.bat, paste your wallet, run (lolMiner/NBMiner style)
Built-in watchdog — auto-restarts on a crash or GPU stall
Live telemetry — hashrate, power draw, temps, MH/W, accepted/rejected shares
A real website (hydrax.gg) — calculators, guides, and a pool directory, not just a GitHub release

Quick start
[list=1]

Download + unzip.
Open the mine-<coin>.bat in Notepad, paste in your wallet, save.
Double-click it. (Or run watchdog.bat to keep it alive.)

Example:

Code:

miner.exe -a kawpow  -o rvn.2miners.com:6060  -u YOUR_RVN_WALLET.rig1

Code:

miner.exe -a etchash -o etc.2miners.com:1010  -u 0xYOUR_ETC_WALLET.rig1

Dual (GPU coin + Monero on CPU):

Code:

miner.exe --rvn-xmr -o rvn.2miners.com:6060 -u YOUR_RVN_WALLET.rig1 --xmr-pool pool.supportxmr.com:3333 --xmr-wallet YOUR_XMR_WALLET.rig1

Pools
Works with standard stratum pools (2Miners tested + recommended), including NiceHash /
EthereumStratum-style extranonce pools. Shared or solo.

Requirements

NVIDIA GPU — RTX 30 / 40 / 50 series, ~6 GB+ VRAM (for the DAG)
64-bit Windows + a recent NVIDIA driver
Monero/RandomX: a few GB free RAM; large pages help
NVIDIA only for now — AMD (OpenCL/HIP) is in progress

Dev fee
1% — for ~36 seconds of every hour the miner mines to the developer's wallet, then
switches back to yours. It applies across the coins you mine and keeps HydraX free and
maintained. Fully disclosed — nothing hidden.

Trust & safety

Unsigned beta — Windows SmartScreen may warn: "More info" → "Run anyway".
Antivirus engines false-flag miners (all of them); add an exclusion if needed.
Happy to provide a VirusTotal scan, and source-level details under NDA, on request.

Roadmap

AMD support

Open beta — feedback, bug reports, and your hashrate numbers (GPU model + coin) are very
welcome. I'm iterating actively. Thanks for taking a look. 🐉
