Kobold Miner v1.0.0
Small creature. Serious hashrate.

NVIDIA GPU miner for Pearl (PRL), Ravencoin (RVN), Quantus (QTC) and Parano1d (NOID) — plus Monero / Zephyr (RandomX) on the idle CPU, in the same process.
Windows · Linux · HiveOS · GPG-signed builds · no telemetry

Why Kobold Miner
  • Measured, not projected. Every hashrate below is our own rate at stock clocks, live against a pool with the shares accepted — no numbers scaled by SM count.
  • One self-contained binary. Kernels for every NVIDIA generation from Pascal (sm_61) to Blackwell (sm_120, B200, B300) are embedded and picked at launch. No CUDA install, no DLLs, no config files — just the driver.
  • Code per GPU generation, not one generic build: Pascal, Volta, Turing, Ampere, Ada, Hopper, Blackwell.
  • GPU + CPU at once. Mine a GPU coin and RandomX on the idle cores, each against its own pool (--xmr-pool / --xmr-user).
  • Keeps mining. TLS auto-detect, ordered pool failover, auto-reconnect, a stall watchdog that restarts a hung GPU, temperature / power limits, clock locks.
  • Monitoring. JSON + CCMiner-compatible telnet API (--enable-api), --bench mode without a pool.
  • Signed and private. Every binary is GPG-signed; no telemetry, no data collection.


Hashrate — stock clocks, live on a pool
Most cards were rented, so each ran at its host's power limit. — = not measured yet; n/a = the Ravencoin DAG no longer fits 6 GB. Check your own card with km --bench 60 -a <algorithm>.

Quick start
Unpack, put your wallet into the launcher for your coin (mine_pearl, mine_rvn, mine_noid, mine_qtc, mine_monero, mine_zephyr, mine_pearl+xmr) and run it. Or from the command line (km.exe on Windows):
Code:
km -a pearlhash -o prl.2miners.com:1818 -u YOUR_WALLET.rig0
km -a kawpow -o rvn.2miners.com:6060 -u YOUR_WALLET.rig0
km -a poseidon2b -o noid.suprnova.cc:3337 -u YOUR_WALLET.rig0
km -a qpow -o qtc.2miners.com:3636 -u YOUR_WALLET.rig0
km -a randomx -o de.monero.herominers.com:1111 -u YOUR_WALLET.rig0
km -a randomx -o zeph.2miners.com:2222 -u YOUR_WALLET.rig0
km -a pearlhash -o prl.2miners.com:1818 -u YOUR_PRL_WALLET.rig0 --xmr-pool pool.supportxmr.com:9000 --xmr-user YOUR_XMR_WALLET
Pool URLs may be bare host:port (TLS tried first), stratum+ssl:// or stratum+tcp://; list several, comma-separated, for failover.


HiveOS
Add a Custom miner to a flight sheet: Installation URL is the HiveOS archive from the latest GitHub release, miner name kobold-miner, hash algorithm pearlhash, kawpow, poseidon2b, quantus or randomx, wallet template %WAL%.%WORKER_NAME%, and your pool's host:port. To also mine Monero on the CPU, put --xmr-pool and --xmr-user in Setup Miner Config.
Installation URL: https://github.com/kobold-dev/kobold-miner/releases/download/v1.0.0/kobold-miner-1.0.0_hiveos.tar.gz

Hardware
NVIDIA from Pascal (GTX 10xx) to Blackwell (RTX 50xx, RTX PRO, B200, B300), GTX 16xx included, for every GPU algorithm. You need a CUDA 12 driver or newer (tested on r535+; r570+ for RTX 50 / RTX PRO / B200, r575+ for B300). Ravencoin's DAG no longer fits a 6 GB card. On the CPU side: any x86-64; AVX2 and AVX-512 are used when present.
AMD / Intel GPUs: not supported yet — RandomX runs on any x86-64 CPU (Ryzen, EPYC, Intel).

Antivirus: Miners are sometimes flagged heuristically by AV engines — that is a false positive triggered by the mining code itself, not malware. Only ever download from the official GitHub releases page linked here; that is the only place we publish builds.
