Practical overview
When it fits
Use NBMiner when you need a command-line GPU miner for a documented algorithm and have a compatible NVIDIA setup and pool details.
Who it is for
- GPU owners who want to configure mining against a supported coin and pool.
- Users who can work with command-line options and provide pool and wallet or worker details.
Documented uses
- Select a supported mining algorithm and configure a pool connection.
- Set a wallet or worker identifier in a mining command.
- Review GPU and driver requirements before choosing an algorithm.
Requirements & limits
- The documented downloads target Windows and Linux.
- The README specifies NVIDIA driver version 410 or newer and GPU requirements by algorithm.
- Documented features include backup pool configuration and SSL pool connections.
- Developer fees vary by algorithm in the listed fee schedule.
Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.
Configure a GPU miner to connect to a pool
Prepare an NBMiner command using a documented algorithm, pool address and wallet or worker identifier.
Before you start
- A Windows or Linux system with a supported NVIDIA GPU.
- NVIDIA driver version 410 or newer, plus the compute capability and memory required for the chosen algorithm.
- A suitable pool address and wallet or worker identifier.
Steps
Choose a coin and algorithm from the README's sample usages.
Select a corresponding example pool and note its protocol, host and port.
Build the command using the documented pattern: nbminer -a algo -o protocol+socket_type://pool_host:pool_port -u wallet_address.worker.
Use any additional pool-specific options shown in the relevant example.
Expected outcome
A configured command specifying the mining algorithm, pool connection and worker or wallet identifier.
Guide limitations
- The README provides examples, not confirmation that a particular pool address or account remains usable.
- Hardware eligibility depends on the documented algorithm-specific NVIDIA compute capability and memory requirements.
- The documented commands do not establish mining profitability or expected earnings.
