What is PeakMiner?PeakMiner is a high-performance GPU miner built around one goal:
maximum real profit per watt. Instead of chasing raw hashrate only, our kernels are hand-tuned per GPU generation —
Maxwell → Blackwell on NVIDIA and
Vega → RDNA 4 on AMD — to deliver high hash at low power draw and low VRAM usage, and to keep running for weeks without a restart.
Now
multi-coin: mine
Pearl (PRL),
BTX or
CSD with a single binary — just switch with
--coin. Stratum V1, auto-detected TLS/SSL, failover pools.
Real profit = high hashrate × high uptime − power cost. PeakMiner is optimized for all three.✨ Key Features- Multi-coin — Pearl (pearlhash), BTX and CSD in one binary; switch with --coin pearl|btx|csd
- NVIDIA + AMD — tuned CUDA kernels per NVIDIA generation; AMD GPU support for CSD on Linux (Vega → RDNA 4 + Instinct)
- Peak efficiency on RTX 50xx / 40xx / 30xx / 20xx / GTX 16xx / 10xx / 900: 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
- Luck & effort stats — see the % of expected effort per share and running luck in real time
- 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 + optional --report-stats push to pool dashboards
- Runs everywhere — Windows (.zip), Linux (.tar.gz), Docker image, HiveOS custom miner package with ready-made flight sheets

PERFORMANCE.md on GitHub💰 Dev Fee — fully transparent- Pearl (PRL): 2% — reduced from 3% in v2.2.0 🎉
- BTX: 3%
- CSD: 3%
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 StartPearl (Windows) — download the .zip, extract, edit start.bat:
peakminer.exe --url de.pearl.herominers.com:1200 --user <WALLET>.<WORKER>
— download the .tar.gz, extract and run:
./peakminer --url de.pearl.herominers.com:1200 --user <WALLET>.<WORKER>
— just add --coin btx and point at a BTX pool:
./peakminer --coin btx --user <WALLET>.<WORKER> --url btx-sg.lproute.com:8660
(NVIDIA on Win/Linux, AMD on Linux):
./peakminer --coin csd --user <WALLET>.<WORKER> --url csd-ca.lproute.com:8760
Installation URL = https://github.com/peakminer/peakminer/releases/download/v2.2.0/peakminer-2.2.0.tar.gz
Miner = Custom -> peakminer
Coin = pearl | btx | csd
Pool URL = de.pearl.herominers.com:1200 (TLS/SSL auto-detected)
Template = %WAL%.%WORKER_NAME%
Or import a ready-made flight sheet (HiveOS → Flight Sheets → Import from JSON, then set your wallet):
Docker:docker run --rm -t --gpus all peakminer/peakminer:2.2.0 \
--url de.pearl.herominers.com:1200 --user <WALLET>.<WORKER>
(all GPUs, or per-card with an index suffix, e.g. --gpu-core0):
peakminer --gpu-core 150 --gpu-power 70% --gpu-temp-stop 70
--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
--report-stats # push rig telemetry to stats-enabled pool dashboards (off by default)
