What is Bminer?
Bminer – is a miner with support for many hashing algorithms. It works on both NVIDIA and AMD graphics cards. The developer’s commission ranges from 0.65% to 2%, depending on the mining algorithm. The software supports mining in dual mining mode.
Requirements
- OS: Windows x64, Linux
- At least 4 GB of video memory.
- Installed Microsoft Visual C ++ 2015 component.
The last time the miner was updated was in 2021. The Bminer project is “dead” despite the fact that it can still mine some coins.
Use alternative miners.

How to set up Bminer
Step 1 - Download the miner
Download miner from official sources:
Step 2 - Configure Bminer
After unpacking the archive, you need to create the .bat
files.
In the same folder as bminer.exe
, you need to create or edit an existing file with the extension .bat
.
Just create any .txt
file and give it the extension .bat
.
Open the .bat
file with Notepad. Below is a sample configuration for the 2miners Pool. You need to enter the following commands into it:
bminer.exe -uri raven://[email protected]:6060
pause
Replace RKzUGLFtdMUQgCstmufnWamA5RwN74yHU8
with your Ravencoin wallet address.
Step 3 - Run the miner

- we indicate the crypto wallet from the NiceHash account. -
daggerhashimoto.eu.nicehash.com
- we indicate the address of the mining pool. -
3353
- we specify the port of the pool.
Example:
bminer -uri ethstratum://3P7qADz69quhfyK5e9kvfno6Jyjq4Rcocx.bminer@daggerhashimoto.eu.nicehash.com:3353

Commands and options
-api <host>:<port>
The endpoint (i.e., <host>:<port>) that bminer serves its REST API. The REST API is disabled if it is unspecified.
-devices GPUs
List of GPUs that Bminer should run on. By default bminer runs on all GPUs available on the system.
-dual-intensity int
The intensity of the secondary mining. Valid values are 0 to 300. Default is -1, which is to tune automatically. (default -1)
-dual-subsolver int
The sub-solver for dual mining. Valid values are 0, 1, 2, 3. Default is -1, which is to tune automatically. (default -1)
-ethash-lhr int
Hash rate percentage for Nvidia LHR GPUs; must be between 50 and 68
-failover sameHost|immediateNext|random
Fail-over strategy between multiple pools. Bminer can retry the connection, failover to the next pool or a pool that is randomly chosen in the lists of available pools. (sameHost|immediateNext|random) (default "immediateNext")
-fast int
Enable agressive optimizations (from 0-5). Too aggressive optimization might result in crashes due to OS / hardware issues. (default 1)
-gpucheck uint
The interval in seconds that Bminer polls whether the GPUs have hung. Set to 0 to disable the checks. (default 90)
-intensity int
The intensity of the CPU for grin/AE mining. Valid values are 0 to 12. Default is 6. Higher intensity may give better performance but more CPU usage. (default -1)
-logfile <path>
Append the logs to the file <path>.
-managed
-max-network-failures int
Number of consecutive attempts that Bminer tries to recover from network failures. Set to -1 to keep on recovering. (default -1)
-max-temperature int
Hard limits of the temperature of the GPUs. Bminer slows down itself when the temperautres of the devices exceed the limit. (default 85)

Disable runtime information collection for Bminer.
-no-timestamps
Suppress timestamps in the logging messages.
-nofee
Disable the devfee but it also disables some optimizations.
-pers string
Personalization string for equihash 144,5 based coins. Default: BgoldPoW. Valid values include BitcoinZ, Safecoin, ZelProof, etc. (default "BgoldPoW")
-share-check uint
The interval of seconds that Bminer polls to ensure there are accepted shares. Set to 0 to disable the checks. (default 900)
-strict-secure
Verify the certificates of servers when connecting to a SSL-enabled Stratum server.
-syslog-level string
Enable syslog if level set, supported levels: CRIT/ERR/WARNING/INFO.
-uri <scheme>://<username>[:<password>]@<host>:<port>
A comma-seperated list of URIs that bminer should mine towards. It has the format of <scheme>://<username>[:<password>]@<host>:<port>. Please refer to https://www.bminer.me for the specification of the URIs.
-uri2 <scheme>://<username>[:<password>]@<host>:<port>
A comma-seperated list of URIs that bminer should mine towards secondarily. It has the format of <scheme>://<username>[:<password>]@<host>:<port>. Please refer to https://www.bminer.me for the specification of the URIs.
-version
Output version information and exit.
