Algorithms

Currently supported

• ✓ boulderhash2 (Pebblecoin)

Dependencies

• libcurl http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/
• openssl https://www.openssl.org/

Download

• Binary releases: N/A
• Git tree: https://github.com/xpbcreator/pebbleminer
• Clone with git clone https://github.com/xpbcreator/pebbleminer

Build

Basic *nix build instructions:

• ./autogen.sh # only needed if building from git repo
• ./nomacro.pl # only needed if building on Mac OS X or with Clang
• ./configure CFLAGS="-march=native"

  • Use -march=native if building for a single machine

• make

Notes for AIX users:

• To build a 64-bit binary, export OBJECT_MODE=64
• GNU-style long options are not supported, but are accessible via configuration file

Basic Windows build instructions, using MinGW:

• Install MinGW and the MSYS Developer Tool Kit (http://www.mingw.org/)
  • Make sure you have mstcpip.h in MinGW\include
• If using MinGW-w64, install pthreads-w64
• Install libcurl devel (http://curl.haxx.se/download.html)
  • Make sure you have libcurl.m4 in MinGW\share\aclocal
  • Make sure you have curl-config in MinGW\bin
• Install openssl devel (https://www.openssl.org/related/binaries.html)
• In the MSYS shell, run:
  • ./autogen.sh # only needed if building from git repo
  • LIBCURL="-lcurldll" ./configure CFLAGS="-march=native"

    • Use -march=native if building for a single machine

  • make

Architecture-specific notes:

• The miner currently does not support any architecture-specific optimizations.

Usage instructions

Run "minerd --help" to see options.

Connecting through a proxy

Use the --proxy option.

To use a SOCKS proxy, add a socks4:// or socks5:// prefix to the proxy host
Protocols socks4a and socks5h, allowing remote name resolving, are also available since libcurl 7.18.0.

If no protocol is specified, the proxy is assumed to be a HTTP proxy.
When the --proxy option is not used, the program honors the http_proxy and all_proxy environment variables.
