Nanominer

Nanominer is a cryptocurrency-mining program that runs supported algorithms on GPUs or CPUs. It uses configuration files or command-line arguments to specify wallets, coins and pools, and includes console output, automatic event logs, a web interface for rig monitoring and management, and an automatic restart function.

Practical overview

When it fits

Use Nanominer when you want to run a documented supported mining algorithm on suitable GPU or CPU hardware and configure the job locally.

Who it is for

  • People configuring cryptocurrency mining jobs on supported GPUs or CPUs.
  • Rig operators who want local logs and a web interface for monitoring and managing Nanominer instances.

Documented uses

  • Set a wallet, coin and pool configuration for a mining job.
  • Launch mining from a configuration file or command line.
  • Review console output and automatically generated event logs.
  • View rig statistics, discover local Nanominer instances, edit configurations and restart miners through the web interface.
Before you choose

Requirements & limits

  • Hardware support varies by algorithm; consult the README’s hardware and algorithm table for the intended coin.
  • Nvidia GPU use requires driver 410.48 or newer on Linux, or 411.31 or newer on Windows.
  • Nanopool pools are selected automatically for supported coins when none are specified; other coins require explicit pool addresses.
  • The README lists developer fees by algorithm, ranging from 1% to 2.5% in its table.
  • Remote management actions require a web-interface password in the running instance’s configuration.

Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.

Source-based practical guide

Configure an Ethereum Classic mining setup

Create the documented minimal Ethereum Classic configuration and understand how Nanominer chooses a pool.

Before you start

  • Nanominer program files
  • An Ethereum Classic wallet

Steps

  1. Create a configuration file in the program’s current directory.

  2. Add the line wallet= with the Ethereum Classic wallet value.

  3. Launch Nanominer; it reads config.ini by default, or a named configuration file can be passed as the first command-line argument.

Expected outcome

Nanominer uses Ethereum Classic pools automatically when the configuration does not specify pools.

Guide limitations

  • For coins not supported by Nanopool, the configuration must specify a wallet and pool addresses.
  • The documented steps describe configuration and launch parameters, not a verified mining result.

Enable remote management for a running Nanominer instance

Configure the password prerequisite for managing a Nanominer instance through its web interface.

Before you start

  • A running Nanominer instance
  • Access to its configuration file

Steps

  1. Set a password for the web interface using the webPassword configuration option.

  2. Use the web interface for the documented tasks: view rig statistics, discover Nanominer instances on the local network, edit miner configurations or restart miners.

Expected outcome

The instance has the documented password prerequisite for web-based management actions.

Guide limitations

  • The README identifies the password requirement but the provided documentation does not include the complete interface setup procedure.
