CGMiner

CGMiner is a program that provides data management during "mining". This "miner" works on a special NeoScrypt algorithm, which helps to "accelerate" the profit generated during the process of cryptocurrency mining. CGMiner is created in a console shell and is designed for advanced computer users. In the software, you mine "digital money" using the full power of the AMD graphics card. The main disadvantage of this software is the graphical environment, which does not contain a windowed interface, that is, it is console-based. If you are an inexperienced computer user, you will have to spend a lot of time to customize the miner. All configurations and options that are needed for full-fledged mining, you set up manually. The user enters data about the connection to the pool, the degree of load and other parameters into the configuration file.

Features and advantages

According to experienced miners, proper configuration (ready-made config) in CGMiner provides a performance boost during mining. You get high MH/s values than on similar software. All parameters depend on the model of the video card, as well as the version of drivers from AMD. The main feature of the miner is support for graphics chips from AMD. Do not forget that this program is not able to "extract money" using CUDA technology. On computers or farms with NVIDIA video adapters it is better to install CUDAMiner in this software you overclock the video chip using special tools. CGMiner allows you to control the fan speed. All settings should be done with proper experience in overclocking video cards. CGMiner shows statistics on "debugging" and also disables "problematic" vorkers in automatic mode. The program works after connecting to a proxy server using Load Balance and Round Robin technology. In the software you set the width of the vectors, the waiting time in a certain period, as well as reconnection to the server. The program creates "stops" in artificial mode on routers, and also configures options that display messages during the process of cryptocurrency mining.

Working with the miner

CGMiner has a help menu, which is displayed by entering the /help command. You will see detailed statistics about navigation and software options. Before "mining" install AMD APP SDK

the most important thing
