• Windows 10 or Linux.
• One or more AMD GPUs.
• One or more NVIDIA GPUs. (Compute 5.0 or later.)

How to set up TeamBlackMiner

Step 1 - Download the miner

There are two official download sources:

• on github
• or from the BitcoinTalk forum.

1. Go to GitHub. In the "Releases" section, you will see "Assets":

   

2. Download the most recent version at the top of the table for your OS.
3. The downloaded archive must be extracted. Extract the zip archive.

   

Step 2 - Configure TeamBlackMiner

After unpacking the archive, you need to create or edit the finished .batfiles.

In the same folder as teamblackminer.exe, you will need to create or modify an existing file with the extension .bat.

To create a new one - just create a file .txt and give it an extension .bat.

Open the .bat file with Notepad. Below is an example setup for a Binance pool. You need to enter the following commands into it:

Set USERNAME=username1

:loop
	TBMiner --algo ethash --hostname ethash.poolbinance.com --port 1800 --wallet %USERNAME% --worker-name 001 --xintensity 24
	timeout 10
goto :loop

Set USERNAME=username1 - Do you see at the very beginning?

Instead username1 just enter your username from the Binance pool. For more information, see «What Is Binance Mining Account and How to Create It » For example, enter: Set USERNAME=MyBinanceLogin

Step 3 - Run the miner

After you have edited the provided run script you can run it by dobble-click.

Attention! You don't start teamblackminer.exe. Instead, you click on the .bat file you just created.

So, after starting the program for a few minutes, you will see a window with a hashrate:

Configuring for Ethermine

1. 0x3aa3e06C47caDEf96202D378aB7C407CF46A36A4 - specify your wallet address.
2. worker-name=name - specify the name of the worker (replace name with the name of your worker. You can be any name).
3. eu1.ethermine.org - specify the address of the pool.
4. 4444 - specify the port of the pool.

Example (you can copy and change the wallet):

Set ETH_WALLET=0x3aa3e06C47caDEf96202D378aB7C407CF46A36A4
Set worker-name=name

:loop
	TBMiner --algo ethash --hostname eu1.ethermine.org --port 4444 --wallet %ETH_WALLET% --worker-name %computername%
	timeout 10
goto :loop

Setting up a batch file for Nicehash

1. 3P7qADz69quhfyK5e9kvfno6Jyjq4Rcocx - indicate the crypto wallet from the NiceHash account.
2. daggerhashimoto.eu.nicehash.com - indicate the address of the mining pool.
3. 3353 - specify the port of the pool.

Example:

Set WALLET=3P7qADz69quhfyK5e9kvfno6Jyjq4Rcocx

:loop
	TBMiner --algo ethash --hostname daggerhashimoto.eu-west.nicehash.com --port 3353 --wallet %WALLET% --worker-name %computername%
	timeout 10
goto :loop

Intensity options

-E --xintensity [,] - one number set for all, or set a comma separated array of GPU devices intensity. Sets the intensity for the GPU threads.

Very useful to find the best Hashrate and the less rejected shares.

Different pools and different setup might have different best values for xintensity.

(Default nvidia=224
(Default amd=-1)

Value -1 is calculate dynamic. Valid values are 1 to xxxxx.

Example:

TBMiner --xintensity [224,222]

-K --dagintensity [,] - One number to set a value for all devices, or a comma separated array of GPU devices dag intensity. Sets the intensity for the GPU threads when creating the dag file. Very useful to avoid dag validation errors when running on high OC.

• 0 is default,
• 1 is slow.
• 9 is the fastest.

Example:

TBMiner --dagintensity [0,9]

Or:

TBMiner --dagintensity [3]

-j --lock-cclock [[,],[,]] Set minimum and maximum core clock for each device. (CUDA) Format is an array of comma seperated arrays. First value is minimum clock value and second value is maximum clock value.

Example:

TBMiner --lock-cclock [[1500,1500],[1300,1300],[1250,1280]]

-m --lock-mclock [[,],[,]] Set minimum and maximum memory clock for each device. (CUDA)

Format is an array of comma seperated arrays.

First value is minumum memory clock value and second is maximum memory clock value.

Example:

TBMiner --lock-mclock [[6000,6000],[6000,6000]]

-M --power-limit [,] Set maximum powerlimit in watts for each device.

Format is a comma seperated array of values.

Example:

TBMiner --power-limit [70]

LHR unlock

-æ --lhr-unlock [,] - Improve the perfomance on NVIDIA devices that are locked for mining.

• LHR 1 for unlock mode,
• LHR 0 for normal mode.

Example:

TBMiner --dagintensity [1,0,1,0,0,0]

Alternatives

Are there alternatives to this program? Yes, for example:

• PhoenixMiner
• NBMiner
• Gminer
• T-rex Miner
• TeamRedMiner
• LolMiner
• Nanominer
• ETHminer

Troubleshooting

DAG verification failed

DAG verification after creation, if miner showed log in red font: Verification failed, invalid 2.0%, please consider lower GPU overclock.
