PeakMiner v1.0.13 - High-Performance NVIDIA Miner (Window/Linux/Hiveos)

What is PeakMiner?

PeakMiner is a CUDA miner for Pearl (PRL) built around one goal: maximum real profit per watt. Instead of chasing raw hashrate only, our kernels are hand-tuned per GPU generation (Turing, Ampere, Ada, Blackwell) to deliver high hash at low power draw and low VRAM usage — and to keep running for weeks without a restart.

Real profit = high hashrate × high uptime ÷ power cost. PeakMiner is optimized for all three.

✨ Key Features

Peak efficiency on RTX 50xx / 40xx / 30xx / 20xx — tuned CUDA kernels per GPU generation: high hash, low watt, low VRAM
Built-in overclocking & thermal limits — per-GPU core/mem clock offsets or locked clocks, power limit (watts or %), automatic temp pause/resume, fan control (fixed or closed-loop)
Stability first — job watchdog auto-reconnects after pool hiccups, failover pools (comma-separated), auto-detected TLS/SSL, mixed-card rigs validated across 20 GPUs
Zero extra setup — CUDA 12 runtime is bundled; no CUDA toolkit install needed on the rig
Live monitoring — per-GPU hashrate, temp, fan, shares and uptime on the dashboard + built-in HTTP stats API
Runs everywhere — Windows (.zip), Linux (.tar.gz), Docker image, HiveOS custom miner package with ready-made flight sheet

Full numbers for every supported card: PERFORMANCE.md on GitHub

Supported hardware: RTX 20xx (Turing), RTX 30xx (Ampere), RTX 40xx (Ada), RTX 50xx (Blackwell) — plus datacenter cards (T4, V100, A100, H100/H200, B200/B300).

💰 Dev Fee — fully transparent

3% on Pearl (PRL). That's it — no hidden switching, no tricks. The fee funds ongoing development, new coin support and further kernel optimizations. You can verify fee behavior in the miner log at any time.

🚀 Quick Start

Windows: download the .zip, extract, edit start.bat:

Code:

peakminer.exe --url de.pearl.herominers.com:1200 --user <WALLET>.<WORKER>

Linux: download the .tar.gz, extract and run:

Code:

./peakminer --url de.pearl.herominers.com:1200 --user <WALLET>.<WORKER>

HiveOS (custom miner):

Code:

Installation URL = https://github.com/peakminer/peakminer/releases/download/v1.0.13/peakminer-1.0.13.tar.gz
Miner            = Custom -> peakminer
Coin             = pearl
Pool URL         = de.pearl.herominers.com:1200   (TLS/SSL auto-detected)
Template         = %WAL%.%WORKER_NAME%

Or just import this ready-made flight sheet (HiveOS → Flight Sheets → Import from JSON, then set your wallet):

Code:

{
  "name": "PEAKMINER_PEARL",
  "isFavorite": false,
  "items": [
    {
      "coin": "PEARL",
      "pool_ssl": false,
      "pool_urls": [
        "de.pearl.herominers.com:1200"
      ],
      "dpool_ssl": false,
      "miner": "custom",
      "miner_alt": "peakminer",
      "miner_config": {
        "url": "de.pearl.herominers.com:1200",
        "algo": "pearl",
        "pass": "x",
        "miner": "peakminer",
        "template": "%WAL%.%WORKER_NAME%",
        "install_url": "https://github.com/peakminer/peakminer/releases/download/v1.0.13/peakminer-1.0.13.tar.gz",
        "user_config": ""
      },
      "pool_geo": []
    }
  ]
}

Optional extra flags (Setup Miner Config box):

Code:

--devices 0,1        # mine on a GPU subset (default: all)
--legacy-auth        # standard Stratum V1 array authorize
--slice-secs 0.25    # fresher jobs at slightly higher CPU
--api-port 4068      # stats API port

Docker:

Code:

docker run --rm -t --gpus all peakminer/peakminer:1.0.13 \
  --url de.pearl.herominers.com:1200 --user <WALLET>.<WORKER>

Built-in OC example (all GPUs, or per-card with an index suffix, e.g. --gpu-core0):

Code:

peakminer --gpu-core 150 --gpu-power 70% --gpu-temp-stop 70
