CanaryMiner v1.0.2 is out — the first release with prebuilt binaries for Windows and Linux.

It's a Pearl (PRL) miner written in CUDA C++, released under the MIT license. The full source is on GitHub, kernels included.

What it does:

• 1% donation, not a locked fee: about 1% of mining time goes to the developer. It's on by default and turns off with one flag (--no-donation) — running with it off is officially supported, and the dashboard and stats always account donation shares separately from yours.
• Verifiable: SHA-256 checksums for every download, the build toolchain is published, and you can build it yourself from the tagged source.
• Honest accounting: share counters keep pool rejections and stales separate from local handling, so what you see is what the pool credited.
• Easy to run: one command mines on every GPU (a supervisor restarts any worker that exits), ready-to-edit start files for F2Pool, Kryptex and HeroMiners, any other Pearl pool via --pool stratum+tcp://…, a live dashboard, and step-by-step Windows and Linux guides in the README.

Requirements: an RTX 50-series (Blackwell) GPU, a driver with CUDA 13.1 support, Windows 10/11 or Linux with glibc 2.34+. No CUDA toolkit needed.

What it doesn't do yet: RTX 40-series and older aren't supported in this release, there's no HiveOS package yet, and the Windows binary isn't code-signed — check the SHA-256 first; the SmartScreen walkthrough is in the README. The README also has a "what is tested" table that says plainly what has and hasn't been run.

I am the developer, it's a community Pearl Miner with an optional fee. Thank you for any support.

I've been looking to buy a new PSU and I got this Corsair one thinking it would have a dual PCIE cable and it didn't. I then looked at a lot of the Corsair, Seasonic, ASUS and they all seem to have 4-5 single strands and the 12 pin one or whatever the new format is. What is going on? I ended up buying 2 from Thermaltake that have 2 Duals and will use a molex connector, but a little surprised.

I’m using WildRig Multi to mine Pearl with the following settings for 5070

--gpu-core-clock 2250 --gpu-memory-clock 7001 --gpu-core-offset 300 --gpu-power-limit 250

My problem is that my computer freezes for about 6 seconds while mining whenever I try to do other things such as watching videos opening firefox or playing lightweight games During these freezes the mouse becomes completely unresponsive This happens approximately every 5 mins...

You might suggest that I shouldn’t use my computer while mining but the issue is that I don’t experience these problems when using Peakminer or onezero

how I can fix it?

Hey, I’m the dev behind LodeMiner, a GPU miner I’ve been working on for a while now. Figured I’d share it here and see what people think.

It’s got a 1% dev fee, supports NVIDIA GPUs and I’m also working on Pearl V4 support.

Not released yet, still got some stuff to finish but it’s coming along pretty well.

If anyone wants to check it out:

Would appreciate some feedback.

Lithos Protocol is a new decentralized mining pool on Ergo. Its goal is to put the power of block production back into the hands of miners, while staying fully non-custodial and providing extra profits to miners through MEV, storage rent, and more. It uses smart contracts and a new payment system called Non-Interactive Share Proofs.

So far I've gotten a lot of extra profits from mining to the pool. Hopefully it can be useful for anyone else here mining on Autolykos.

I’m making a new crypto and want to see what things you guys want to see in it. It’s going to be a gpu only proof of work that’s lightning fast with zero pre mine and smart contracts. Anything else that interest you guys or are things I should add?

Full disclosure: I’m one of the founders of supascale.

If mining returns on some of your GPUs are thin, could paid AI workloads be a better use for that same hardware? That’s a question we’re trying to answer, and I’d value feedback from people who are run mining rigs.

We’re building a GPU compute marketplace where owners can list existing hardware to run AI workloads. Hosts would earn when customer workloads run on their GPUs. Windows hosting is open for beta testing, and we’re looking for miners willing to test the setup and tell us what works and what doesn’t. Linux and macOS are currently on the waitlist.

Our starting baseline is a Windows system with an NVIDIA or AMD GPU, at least 8GB of VRAM, stable internet, and periods when the machine can stay online. We’d still need to check the exact GPU and setup for compatibility.

There’s an earnings calculator on our hosting page that lets you explore estimates for different GPU memory and usage hours. It shows USD estimates based on our pricing model and assumes 83.3% utilization. Actual customer demand could be much lower during the beta, so the estimates are not guaranteed payouts.

We’re also considering the possibility of crypto payouts in the future. That isn’t available or committed yet. Would a crypto payout option matter to you, or would your decision mainly come down to net earnings and how reliably the work comes in?

If you’re curious about the calculator or have a Windows rig you’d be willing to test, you can find both here: https://supascale.ai/list-gpu

I’m happy to answer questions about the beta in the comments.

I haven't really been mining for a couple of years. I last mined Kaspa/Alephium and attempted the whole dual miner thing but electricity went up and it became less profitable.

I'm curious if PRL & Quantus are super profitable because they're just really new coins or do you think it'll be like the new Ethereum? Right now profitability looks insane, much better than ETH.

I noticed on whattomine that there are two incredibly profitable coins. Is this legit?

Perl and quantus?

So I have an octominer x8 ultra, i believe the mb is b65. I can't seem to detect the card even when i use the lspci command to list the pci devices. Nvidia info also not found the card. It is running the latest nvidia driver (595 I think) and hive os.

Claude said bios issue. Since its booted fine to hive.

The issue is i think my hdmi port is dead, I can't get an output

What are you guys' thoughts?

I should be making around 2-3 dolars a day. But im paiing 0.23 USD for electricity :/ so profit is only around 1.2 USD is that worth it or just degrading my GPU? And i havent acounted for conversion fees

What do you thing? Is anybody doing the same?

I already knew about SASEUL (SL), and I'd been looking around for something my old 1660 Ti could still mine, since everyone says older cards are pretty much done. That's when I came across a community pool for it (saseulmine.com), so about 5 weeks ago I started mining.

It's still running. Setup was maybe 15 min on Windows 10 (Linux is supported too) and I keep the GPU at 50%. At 100% the fan gets loud and the PC starts stuttering, at 50% I honestly forget it's on.

The part that made me actually look at it: as far as I know, the PoW here isn't what produces blocks. Mining is only used to pick who gets to be a validator, and block production runs separately from that. So the hashrate race doesn't decide the chain directly, which is a different setup from what I'm used to. Blocks finalize in a few seconds and contracts run on-chain.

Mainnet's been up since May 2022, no ICO or presale, new coins only come from mining. Someone outside the team even made an on-chain message board on it (signalsl.com).

As far as I know you can't buy or sell SL anywhere right now. It was on BitMart but since BitMart shut down there's nowhere to trade it. So this is a "mine it for later" thing, not a "pays the power bill this month" thing.

Anyone else still mining on older cards these days? Curious what's actually still worth running on something like a 1660 Ti.

I hold SL and I'm mining it.

The play is the same;

- overly complex whitepaper for a network that can't actually do what it claims
- constant algo changes to edge out smaller miners and specific hardware
- irrational pump and dump, high volume bot trading
- next up they'll claim to target the "enterprise market" for customers
- tokenomics won't actually see the coin used for any on-chain service

"Proof of useful work" centralizes. Whilst big investors are lured in for exit luquidity gathered during the current selling pressure provided by desperate GPU miners.

### Payout & Risk Disclosure

This is a standard PPLNS pool with zero operator capital backstop. Payouts are distributed strictly from actual blocks found by the pool once they reach 100 on-chain confirmations.

Dashboard and live stats are open to everyone. Drop connection feedback or questions below!

Disclosure: I operate BTC PoW Lab Pool through Power CM Software. This post presents our own pool and internal research results.

https://btcpowlab-pool.com/

Hi everyone, I wanted to share some concrete GPU results from our research and explain how our reward model works. The attached image summarizes both.

What did we measure?

On NVIDIA, our compatible client delivered 21.67% higher end to end throughput compared with the same client with the optimization disabled. We used the same GPU across four 120 second ABBA test blocks, including connection, preparation, job changes and share submission. All four blocks produced accepted shares, with no rejected shares or fallback activation.

On AMD/OpenCL, receiving prepared schedules produced a 69.11% increase in client throughput. Accounting for central preparation and latency, the separately documented conservative total improvement was 12.91% under warm operating conditions.

The approach moves some preparation work to a central component that supplies compatible clients. These measurements concern specific implementations and baselines. They do not establish the same improvement on every GPU, and connecting an ordinary miner does not automatically reproduce them.

How do rewards work?

Our Hybrid Solo model distributes the reward from a found block as follows:

• 85% goes to the block finder.
• 10% goes to other eligible community miners.
• 5% goes to the lab and operations. (also special rewards like referals)

Community eligibility uses accepted work over a rolling seven day window. Allocation considers contributed work, tier and pool composition. The finder is excluded from the community allocation for their own block.

This means an eligible miner can receive a community allocation when someone else in the pool finds a block. Rewards still depend on actual block finds, so there is no guaranteed payment schedule or income.

For the GPU miners here, what would make these results most useful to evaluate: longer benchmark runs, comparisons with specific mining clients, or power consumption measured at the wall?

Best and thanks! https://btcpowlab-pool.com/

Hello,
I need your help
Is it worth to rent my laptop which is 4060
And if so, can you give me advice which site is best for this job and if the laptop not good , do you advice to buy mid Desktop with what card for this job
And for the power and internet they available i have no issue with them
Thanx in advance

Ok so can you guys help me out with PRL? Never heard of it, but rather than selling my rigs, maybe I can finally turn them back on. Was seriously considering selling and looking at whattomine was going to be my confirmation...but wait a second! Do we have some hope here, boys?

I've meen messing around with the idea of renting out some GPU rigs for AI training. I came across the Clore.ai earning calculator, and threw in an example rig (see image).

It seems to combine earnings from renting out the rig, mining while it's not rented, and a little bonus for holding your mined tokens.

Profitability is drastically higher than other AI renting platforms like Vast.ai, or crypto mining alone.

Experience tells me, if something seems too good to be true, it probably is.

Has anyone used this platform? Is it too good to be true?

Edit: Assuming the calculator is unrealisticly generous. Is it a good platform otherwise? How does it compare to platforms like Vast or Salad?

I sure I am not the first to ask for advice on this subject, it seems that the markets are down now’s a good point to finally try and start mining from home.

I have around $1000 to buy a rig , and not expecting miracles over night , and don’t pay for power , so just looking for the best way or advice to recoup my investment. And then a little more would be great.

Side note to this , has any one still using muskminors ? Surly I could buy there’s and pay power and save my self the effort ?

I've had a look and it seems quite interesting, it's a bitcoin fork with a use case, which is a random selector or something, I'm not sure how it works.

Just interested in if anyone thinks it might be worth a punt?

I mean it's got to have a chance right?

It all seems simple enough to set up on the github.

Most GPUs in the world are doing nothing most of the time. Gaming rigs at night. Workstations between renders. Old mining rigs that went idle after the PoS switch. Meanwhile every dev building an AI product is paying full price for inference on the usual clouds.

I built GPU Grid to connect those two problems.

The idea:

GPU owners plug in and earn per job. Developers get inference through a drop-in OpenAI-compatible API, same SDKs, just a different URL. No middlemen deciding the price.

How it actually works:

• GPU owners run a node (Ollama under the hood). It heartbeats every 30 seconds to stay live in the network.
• Every request gets routed by price, speed, reliability, and current load. Cheapest healthy node wins.
• Nodes carry a reputation score. Fail a job, it drops. Recover slowly with successful jobs. Drop too low, you're pulled from routing until it recovers.
• Every completed job settles automatically. Provider gets paid, a cut goes to buyback/burn, stakers, and treasury. All tracked in a ledger, not just a number that updates mysteriously.

Genuinely want feedback from anyone who's built distributed systems, run local models, or messed with GPU-sharing before. Happy to go deep on the routing logic, the reputation system, or the reward split if anyone's curious.
