Simple and easy to run, if you have a Nvidia GPU and want to mine eth.
Note This image builds the Genoil ethminer, which is faster than the standard opencl ethminer. https://github.com/Genoil/cpp-ethereum
- Nvidia drivers for your GPU, you can get them here: Nvidia drivers
- nvidia-docker (so docker can access your GPU) install instructions here: nvidia-docker
nvidia-docker run -it anthonytatowicz/eth-cuda-miner ARG1 ARG2 ...
# Example
nvidia-docker run -it anthonytatowicz/eth-cuda-miner \
-S us-west1.nanopool.org:9999 \
-O 0x20ad58fe023265577565c7eb44b55c31e7497c33.cSquared/[email protected]
Note --farm-recheck and -U are set by default
Note Be sure to change the -O argument to your mining address and email. The format goes like this "address.worker/email"

Usage ethminer [OPTIONS]
Options:
Work farming mode:
-F,--farm <url> Put into mining farm mode with the work server at URL (default: http://127.0.0.1:8545)
-FF,-FO, --farm-failover, --stratum-failover <url> Failover getwork/stratum URL (default: disabled)
--farm-retries <n> Number of retries until switch to failover (default: 3)
-S, --stratum <host:port> Put into stratum mode with the stratum server at host:port
-FS, --failover-stratum <host:port> Failover stratum server at host:port
-O, --userpass <username.workername:password> Stratum login credentials
-FO, --failover-userpass <username.workername:password> Failover stratum login credentials (optional, will use normal credentials when omitted)
--work-timeout <n> reconnect/failover after n seconds of working on the same (stratum) job. Defaults to 180. Don't set lower than max. avg. block time
-SC, --stratum-client <n> Stratum client version. Defaults to 1 (async client). Use 2 to use the new synchronous client.
-SP, --stratum-protocol <n> Choose which stratum protocol to use:
0: official stratum spec: ethpool, ethermine, coinotron, mph, nanopool (default)
1: eth-proxy compatible: dwarfpool, f2pool, nanopool
2: EthereumStratum/1.0.0: nicehash
-SE, --stratum-email <s> Email address used in eth-proxy (optional)
--farm-recheck <n> Leave n ms between checks for changed work (default: 500). When using stratum, use a high value (i.e. 2000) to get more stable hashrate output
Benchmarking mode:
-M [<n>],--benchmark [<n>] Benchmark for mining and exit; Optionally specify block number to benchmark against specific DAG.
--benchmark-warmup <seconds> Set the duration of warmup for the benchmark tests (default: 3).
--benchmark-trial <seconds> Set the duration for each trial for the benchmark tests (default: 3).
--benchmark-trials <n> Set the duration of warmup for the benchmark tests (default: 5).
Simulation mode:
-Z [<n>],--simulation [<n>] Mining test mode. Used to validate kernel optimizations. Optionally specify block number.
Mining configuration:
-G,--opencl When mining use the GPU via OpenCL.
-U,--cuda When mining use the GPU via CUDA.
-X,--cuda-opencl Use OpenCL + CUDA in a system with mixed AMD/Nvidia cards. May require setting --opencl-platform 1
--opencl-platform <n> When mining using -G/--opencl use OpenCL platform n (default: 0).
--opencl-device <n> When mining using -G/--opencl use OpenCL device n (default: 0).
--opencl-devices <0 1 ..n> Select which OpenCL devices to mine on. Default is to use all
-t, --mining-threads <n> Limit number of CPU/GPU miners to n (default: use everything available on selected platform)
--allow-opencl-cpu Allows CPU to be considered as an OpenCL device if the OpenCL platform supports it.
--list-devices List the detected OpenCL/CUDA devices and exit. Should be combined with -G or -U flag
-L, --dag-load-mode <mode> DAG generation mode.
parallel - load DAG on all GPUs at the same time (default)
sequential - load DAG on GPUs one after another. Use this when the miner crashes during DAG generation
single <n> - generate DAG on device n, then copy to other devices
--cl-extragpu-mem Set the memory (in MB) you believe your GPU requires for stuff other than mining. default: 0
--cl-local-work Set the OpenCL local work size. Default is 64
--cl-global-work Set the OpenCL global work size as a multiple of the local work size. Default is 4096 * 64
--cuda-extragpu-mem Set the memory (in MB) you believe your GPU requires for stuff other than mining. Windows rendering e.t.c..
--cuda-block-size Set the CUDA block work size. Default is 128
--cuda-grid-size Set the CUDA grid size. Default is 8192
--cuda-streams Set the number of CUDA streams. Default is 2
--cuda-schedule <mode> Set the schedule mode for CUDA threads waiting for CUDA devices to finish work. Default is 'sync'. Possible values are:
auto - Uses a heuristic based on the number of active CUDA contexts in the process C and the number of logical processors in the system P. If C > P, then yield else spin.
spin - Instruct CUDA to actively spin when waiting for results from the device.
yield - Instruct CUDA to yield its thread when waiting for results from the device.
sync - Instruct CUDA to block the CPU thread on a synchronization primitive when waiting for the results from the device.
--cuda-devices <0 1 ..n> Select which CUDA GPUs to mine on. Default is to use all
General Options:
-v,--verbosity <0 - 9> Set the log verbosity from 0 to 9 (default: 8).
-V,--version Show the version and exit.
-h,--help Show this help message and exit.
