alpha-miner v1.4.0

HiveOS users: install v1.4.0.03 instead. Same binary, but with the updated HiveOS custom-miner wrapper that fixes layout, adds multi-pool failover, and reports per-GPU stats correctly on the dashboard.

Performance (Jonathan's measurements)

  • H100: 610-620 TH/s (+12% vs v1.3.0)
  • 5090: 300-320 TH/s (thermal-throttle dependent)
  • 5080: 165-170 TH/s (modest bump)
  • H200, 4090, 3090, V100/CMP: see Hardware Support page

New in v1.4

  • --version flag returns alpha-miner 1.4 (was missing in v1.3.0)
  • Smaller binary: 16.2 MB vs 44.3 MB in v1.3.0 (~64% size cut, same architecture coverage)
  • Same backend matrix: volta · ampere · ada · hopper · blackwell · blackwell-native

Quickstart (Linux) — use a regional stratum endpoint

curl -L -o alpha-miner https://github.com/AlphaMine-Tech/alpha-miner/releases/latest/download/alpha-miner
chmod +x alpha-miner
./alpha-miner --pool stratum+tcp://us2.alphapool.tech:5566 --address prl1pYOUR_PRL_ADDRESS --worker rig01

Regional pool hosts (pick closest, never use pearl.alphapool.tech — that hostname is HTTPS/Cloudflare-only):

  • us2.alphapool.tech:5566 — US West (OVH)
  • eu1.alphapool.tech:5566 — Europe (OVH Roubaix)
  • sg1.alphapool.tech:5566 — Asia (OVH Singapore)

Solo mining: same hosts, port 5567.

Docker

docker run --gpus all \
  -e PEARL_ADDRESS=prl1pYOUR_ADDR \
  -e PEARL_POOL_HOST=us2.alphapool.tech \
  -e PEARL_POOL_PORT=5566 \
  alphaminetech/pearl-miner:1.4.0

PEARL_POOL_HOST is required to route to a regional endpoint. Same env-var set as v1.3.0 (no entrypoint changes).

Architecture support

volta (V100, CMP 100-210) · ampere (RTX 30-series, A100, CMP 170HX/220HX) · ada (RTX 40-series) · hopper (H100, H200) · blackwell (RTX 50-series, B100, B200) · blackwell-native

Turing (RTX 20-series, T4, CMP 30/40/50/90HX) still on the roadmap.
