Team Red Miner version 0.7.22 Usage: teamredminer [OPTIONS] Options: -a, --algo=ALGORITHM Selects the mining algorithm. Currently available: ethash (eth, etc, etp, others) etchash (alias for -a ethash --eth_variant_mode=etchash) kawpow (ravencoin) lyra2z phi2 (lux, argoneum) lyra2rev3 (vtc) x16r (rvn original) x16rv2 (rvn) x16s (pgn, xsh) x16rt (veil, gin) mtp (zcoin) cuckatoo31_grin (grin) cuckarood29_grin (grin) cnv8 cnr (monero) cnv8_half (stellite, masari) cnv8_dbl (x-cash) cnv8_rwz (graft) cnv8_trtl (old turtlecoin, loki) cnv8_upx2 (uplexa) cn_heavy (classic CN heavy) cn_haven (haven) cn_saber (bittube) cn_conceal (conceal) trtl_chukwa (turtlecoin) trtl_chukwa2 (turtlecoin) nimiq (nimiq) -h, --help Display this help message and exit. --debug Enables debug log output. --disable_colors Disables console output colors. --force_colors Forces console color output even if the terminal does not seem to support them. --api_listen=IP:PORT Enables the sgminer compatible api. IP:PORT is optional. If present, the IP:PORT combo decides the interface(s) and port to listen to. Default is 127.0.0.1:4028. For external access, use e.g. 0.0.0.0:4028. It's also valid to only specify the port, e.g. 4029. --cm_api_listen=IP:PORT Enables the claymore compatible api. IP:PORT is optional. If present, the IP:PORT combo decides the interface(s) and port to listen to. Default is 127.0.0.1:3333. For external access, use e.g. 0.0.0.0:3333. It's also valid to only specify the port, e.g. 3334. --log_file(=FILENAME) Enables logging of miner output into the file specified by FILENAME. If no filename is provided, the miner will log to trm__.log in the current working directory. If the log file already exists, the miner will append. -l, --log_interval=SEC Set the time interval in seconds for averaging and printing GPU hashrates. SEC sets the interval in seconds, and must be > 0. --short_stats Disables the full gpu state output in each hashrate output, like it was before 0.7.10. --dev_location=LOC Selects a specific location for the dev fee connection. Only use this if you see continuous dev fee connection issues reported by the miner. The connection management normally works well in all locations. Available options are: world - Anywhere in the world except for mainland China. cn - Mainland China. non-gcp - Countries with blocked access to Google Services (e.g. Iran, Cuba). --enable_compute (Windows only) Enables compute mode and disables crossfire on necessary gpus. --long_timestamps Enables microsec timestamps in the logs instead of seconds only. --restart_gpus (Windows only) Restarts all configured gpus before mining, i.e. disable+enable PCI device. --uac (Windows only) Enable privilege escalation when the miner runs tasks like restarting gpus. You can always avoid this by running the miner directly as Administrator. This will trigger the standard Windows escalation prompt, so you have to be available to click 'Yes'. If this is not enabled, tasks that require Administrator privileges will fail when the miner is running under a basic user account. --high_score Enables printouts of the top 15 shares found since miner start in the stats output. Note: this might not be enabled for all algos. Pool config options: -o, --url=URL Sets the pool URL. Currently stratum+tcp and stratum+ssl URLs are supported. Each additional time this option is specified will start a new pool config. Per-pool options (such as -u, -p) will need to be explicitly specified again for each new pool. (See the example start_multipool.sh/bat file) The multi-pool strategy for the miner is set with the --pool_strategy option. -u, --user=USERNAME Sets the username for pool authorization. -p, --pass=PASSWORD Sets the password for pool authorization. --pool_force_ensub Forces an extranonce subscribe request for supported pools unknown to the miner. --pool_no_ensub Prevent miner from sending extranonce subscribe request to the pool. --pool_broken_rpc Tells the miner to only allow a single outstanding rpc request on the pool connection. This is a work-around for pools that violate the json rpc specification regarding rpc IDs. --pool_ratio=RATIO Sets the hashrate ratio between pools when using multiple pools with the the 'load_balance' or 'quota' pool strategies (see --pool_strategy). By default all pools use the ratio value 1. For example, using this option with a value of 2 on just one pool will make that pool receive twice the hashrate as the other pools since their ratio will still be the default value of 1. --pool_debug Logs all pool traffic. Global pool options: --pool_connect_TO=SEC Set the time-out for attempting to connect to a pool. SEC is the time to wait in seconds. Default is 10. --pool_rpc_TO=SEC Set how long the miner will wait for an unanswered RPC to the pool. After this time, the miner will reconnect to the pool. SEC is the time to wait in seconds. Default is 60. --pool_max_rejects=N If a pool rejects N shares in a row, the pool connection is reset. This is to prevent against pools that invalidates mining sessions without disconnecting the user. Default value is 5. --pool_strategy=STRAT Sets the strategy for selecting pools when running with multiple pools. The available values are: priority, load_balance, and quota. The default is priority. priority: The miner will use pools in the order they are listed, only moving on to the next pool if the previous cannot establish a connection. load_balance: The miner will evenly balance the hashrate across all currently connected pools. The ratio of hashrate between pools can be set with --pool_ratio. quota: The miner will evenly balance the total hashes completed across all pools. If a pool disconnects and later reconnects, the miner will move hashrate to the pool until the total hashes for each pool is balanced. The ratio of hashrate between pools can be set with --pool_ratio. --no_ntime_roll Prevents the miner from rolling ntime in the block header, only using the value provided by the pool. This needs to be enabled for some pools when mining x16rt. --no_stale_submit Prevents the miner from submitting shares that are not for the most current pool job. GPU options: --platform=INDEX Sets the index of the OpenCL platform to use. If not specified, platform will be auto-detected. Linux with multiple platforms is only supported using no --platform arg but instead adding --bus_reorder. -d, --devices=DEVLIST Sets gpu devices to use from detected list. DEVLIST should be a comma- separated list of device indices, e.g. -d 0,1,2,4. If not specified, all devices on the platform(s) will be used. NOTE: by default the devices are ordered by pcie bus ordering. Use --list_devices to show indices. --init_style=1/2/3 Specified the init style (1 is default): 1: One gpu at the time, complete all before mining. 2: Three gpus at the time, complete all before mining. 3: All gpus in parallel, start mining immediately. --pcie_fmt=FORMAT Sets print format for pcie bus numbers. The accepted values for FORMAT are either 'hex' or 'dec'. The default is dec for windows and hex for linux. --bus_reorder Reorders the detected or specified devices after their pcie bus id. If no platform is specified, devices will be collected from all detected AMD OpenCL platforms. Note: As of version v0.7.0 this is the default behavior. --opencl_order Orders the detected or specified devices in the order OpenCL presents them. --list_devices Lists the available devices for the detected or specified platform and exits immediately. Bus reordering will be implemented in the displayed order. Fan control options (BETA feature): --fan_control(=CFG1,CFG2,...) This argument enables gpu fan control by the miner. TRM supports auto-adjusting the gpu fan speed(s) based on core, junction and/or mem temp. We also support setting a static fan speed in percent. Each gpu type has a fan configuration that will be used by default. We support both overriding the default configuration per gpu type as well as setting a specific config per gpu in the rig. A fan config consists of four values, separate by the ':' (colon) char. The values are: core target temp, junction target temp, mem target temp, fan speed in percent. Any value can be left empty. These are a few examples: ::70:50 Target mem temp to 70C, start fan at 50% speed. 55::: Target core temp to 55C, start fan at default configuration's speed. 55::75:80 Adjust fan so that core temp is <= 55C and mem temp is <= 75C, start fan at 80%. :::100 Set static fan speed to 100%, never adjust based on temps. The fan configuration used for a gpu is derived in the following precedence order: 1. The --fan_control argument was passed a list of configurations and included an entry for gpu X. 2. The default fan configuration for this gpu type was overridden with a --fan_default_=... parameter. 3. Use the built-in default fan configuration for this gpu type. In the list above, if the chosen configuration is missing the start value for the fan the setting from the next configuration is used. NOTE: fan support is a beta feature and will not work better than the support the drivers provide. For example, many times the drivers under linux don't allow forcing a fan to 100% using the sysfs pwm support. --fan_default_polaris=CFG Set the default config used for all Polaris gpus (450/460/550/560/470/480/570/580/590). The built-in default is 55:::50 for 55C core temp and fan starting at 50%. --fan_default_vega=CFG Set the default config used for all Vega gpus (Vega 56/Vega 64). The built-in default is 55::70:50 for 55C core temp, 70C mem temp and fan at 50%. --fan_default_vega2=CFG Set the default config used for all Radeon VII gpus. The built-in default is 70::75:80 for 70C core temp, 75C mem temp and fan at 80%. --fan_default_navi=CFG Set the default config used for all Navi. The built-in default is 60::80:70 for 60C core temp, 80C mem temp and fan at 70%. --fan_debug Enable log printouts related to adjustments. Watchdog options: --no_gpu_monitor Disables the ADL (Windows) or sysfs (Linux) GPU monitor for temperature and fan speed. --temp_limit=TEMP Sets the temperature at which the miner will stop GPUs that are too hot. Default is 85C. --temp_resume=TEMP Sets the temperature below which the miner will resume GPUs that were previously stopped due to temperature exceeding limit. Default is 60C. --watchdog_script(=X) Configures the gpu watchdog to shut down the miner and run the specified platform and exits immediately. The default script is watchdog.bat/watchdog.sh in the current directory, but a different script can be provided as an optional argument, potentially with a absolute or relative path as well. --watchdog_test Tests the configured watchdog script by triggering the same action as a dead gpu after ~20 secs of mining. --watchdog_disabled Forces the watchdog to not execute. Can be used to disable the watchdog in mining os that always run with the watchdog enabled. Ethash options: --eth_config=CONFIG Manual ethash configuration for the miner. CONFIG must be in the form [M][L]. The [M] value selects the mode which can be either 'A' or 'B'. The 'B' mode uses additional memory and will only work on 8+GB cards. The [L] value selects the intensity and it's range will depend on the GPU architecture. Both values are optional, but if [L] is specified, [M] must also be specified. Example configs: --eth_config=A --eth_config=B750 CONFIG can also be a comma separated list of config values where each is applied to each GPU. For example: --eth_config=A,B750,,A288 Any gpu that does not have a specific config in the list will use the first config in the list. --eth_variant_mode=X This argument controls activation of the ethash changes for ETC from epoch 390 as described in ecip-1099. The following modes are available: pool - Default mode. Only activates if the pool sends an algo flag containing etchash. Once this flag is seen, all pool jobs will be assumed to be etchash unless another. algo flag containing ethash is received. etchash - Etchash mode. Epoch >= 390 will be assumed to be etchash, lower epochs ethash. Pool algo flags are not used. deduce - Ignore pool algo flags and only apply a heuristics based on the current system time and known heights and times for ETC and ETH. This mode should work as a generic approach when ETH reaches epoch 390 in Jan 2021. The system clock needs to be correct. It should also handle any profit switching setups that switch freely between ethash and etchash jobs by proxying underlying pools. auto - As long as the pool hasn't passed an algo flag, use deduce mode. When an algo flag is seen, switch to pool mode. ethash - Forced ethash mode. Never apply ecip-1099. force_etc - Forced etchash mode. Always apply ecip-1099 rules. Use for ETC testnet mining. --eth_aggr_mode Enables automatic use of the 'B' mode for all Polaris 8GB cards, unless they have a different config provided by the --eth_config argument. This is the same thing as manually setting all Polaris 8GB gpus in the rig to 'B' mode using --eth_config. For most gpus, this adds 0.1-0.2 MH/s of hashrate. NOTE: 20-25% of rigs becomes less stable in this mode which is the reason it isn't the default mode. If you experience dead gpus, you should remove this argument and run the gpus in the 'A' mode. Moreover, this option will stop working when the DAG approaches 4GB. --eth_stratum_mode=MODE Sets a fixed stratum mode for ethash pools. By default the miner will attempt to automatically determine the type of stratum the pool supports and use that mode. This automatic detection can be overriden by specifying this option. The MODE can be set to one of the following options: stratum, nicehash, ethproxy. --eth_worker Set the worker id that will be sent to pool. This only applies to pools with ethproxy stratum mode. --eth_epoch Tests a specific ethash epoch. NOTE: you still need to provide a pool as if you were mining, but no shares will be submitted. Simulated mining only. --eth_alloc_epoch=N Allocates enough memory for the given epoch from the start. The miner will try to allocate more if it needs to later during mining. It's recommended for rigs with one or more 4GB cards to test and set this to the max possible value to avoid reallocations at epoch switches. Optimal Linux rigs should be able to handle epoch 380, Windows rigs a little less (373-374). --eth_dag_buf=X,Y,... The miner can allocate a single or dual buffers for the DAG. For now, the default is DUAL buffers, which matches the behavior in all recent TRM releases. However, a single buffer is slightly better, leading to a small power save for all gpu types. Only recent drivers support single large allocations larger than 4GiB, typically from Adrenalin 20.9.1 and amdgpu-pro 20.x. The miner can automatically use single buffer mode when possible using this argument, as well a force single or dual buffers per gpu. Supported values are A(uto), S(ingle), D(ual). You can enumerate a comma-separated list for all gpus in the rig, or a single value for all gpus. A gpu that does not have a value in the comma-separated list will use the first value. Hence, to enable auto mode for all gpus, pass --eth_dag_buf=A NOTE: 4GB gpus will be forced to use dual buffers. --eth_4g_alloc_adjust=X,Y,... On Windows, the allocation balance is very delicate for 4GB gpus being able to reach their maximum possible DAG epoch. The miner uses a strategy that has worked fine for our test gpus, but other setups can benefit from tweaking this number. The valid range is [-128,+128]. Zero means no adjustment. You provide either a single value that is used for all 4GB gpus in the rig, or a comma-separated list with values for all gpus, including non-4GB Polaris gpus. Values for non-4GB gpus are ignored. --eth_4g_max_alloc=X,Y,... This argument allows mining on 4GB gpus after they no longer can store the full DAG in vram. You pass either the max epoch to allocate memory for, or the raw nr of MB to allocate. You can provide a single value that applies to all 4GB gpus in the rig, or use a comma-separated list for specifying different values per gpu. Values for non-4GB gpus are ignored. --eth_dag_slowdown=N Slows down the DAG generation. Pass a single digit 0-9. 0 means no slowdown (<= 0.7.9 behavior), 1 means minimal slowdown, 9 means max. Default value: 4 for a slight slowdown. --eth_stagger Enables staggering of gpus when building a new DAG. This is more lean on PSUs that don't like going from 0-100% load on all gpus at the same time. --eth_no_stagger Disables --eth_stagger. Already the default behavior from 0.7.18. Argument kept for backwards compatibility only. --eth_ramp_up Adds ramping up the intensity on all gpus after a DAG build, gpu disable/enable or network outage. Can help rigs with crashes right between the DAG build and starting mining. --eth_no_ramp_up Disables --eth_ramp_up. Already the default behavior from 0.7.18. Argument kept for backwards compatibility only. --eth_direct_abort Uses a different mechanism to abort ongoing gpu jobs. Recommended for Vegas in ROCm environments to minimize stale shares. Will apply to Vega and Polaris gpus in the rig only. --eth_dag_alloc_patch Some motherboards with outdated bios can see hw errs typically on the first or last gpu in the system. Use this argument to force a patched dag allocation strategy that most often solves the issue. Upgrading your bios often solves the issue as well. --eth_hashwatch(=M,M) Defines a min/max watchdog hashrate in MH/s expected when gpus are hashing. If a GPU falls outside of this range for too long it will be considered faulty and the watchdog will be triggered. The default min/max values are 2 MH/s and 150 MH/s. To activate with default values, use --eth_hashwatch. To set your own values, use e.g. --eth_hashwatch=1.25,60. The same range is used for all gpus in the rig. A negative value for one side disables it, e.g. use --eth_hashwatch=-1,1000 to handle gpu resets that result in huge fake hashrates but no minimum check. --eth_dag_cache(=EPOCH) Enables saving eth DAGs from jobs with different epochs to prevent having to rebuild them in the future if jobs with the old epochs are received again. At most one DAG will be saved if GPU memory space allows. This is useful for switching pools such as eth+zil mining. If you want to prebuild a certain epoch immediately at startup, add the optional value. Eth+zil switching miners should use --eth_dag_cache=0. Only ethash (and not etchash) epochs can be prebuilt at this time. --eth_dag_cache_resv=MEM Sets the amount of GPU memory the miner will attempt to leave unused when running with DAG caching enabled (see --eth_dag_cache). The argument MEM is the amount of memory to leave unused in mebibytes. The default value is 256. --eth_dag_cache_verify Enable dag cache read and verification after a finished dag build. This will detect situations where the dag cache had bit errors and the resulting dag is partially broken. We have seen this happen increasingly on Vegas as the dag has grown bigger. When detected, a new buffer will be allocated for the dag cache and the dag build restarted. Progpow options: --prog_config=CONFIG Manual progpow configuration for the miner. CONFIG must be in the form [M][L]. The [M] value selects the mode which can be either 'A' or 'B'. The 'B' mode typically results in better performance but is only available for Vega on linux and Navi (linux or windows). The [L] value selects the intensity and it's range will depend on the GPU architecture. Both values are optional, but if [L] is specified, [M] must also be specified. Example configs: --prog_config=A --prog_config=B750 CONFIG can also be a comma separated list of config values where each is applied to each GPU. For example: --prog_config=A,B750,,A288 Any gpu that does not have a specific config in the list will use the first. --prog_height=VALUE Sets a fixed block height for progpow algorithms for benchmarking purposes. Note that using this option needs a pool connection but will not submit shares. --prog_strict Forces miner to always generate strictly accurate kernels. By default the miner will generate relaxed kernels that use less computation power but can result in occasional invalid shares. --prog_dag_slowdown=N Slows down the DAG generation. Pass a single digit 0-9. 0 means no slowdown (<= 0.7.9 behavior), 1 means minimal slowdown, 9 means max. Default value: 4 for a slight slowdown. --prog_stagger See --eth_stagger. --prog_ramp_up See --eth_ramp_up. --prog_no_stagger See --eth_no_stagger. --prog_no_ramp_up See --eth_no_ramp_up. Cryptonight options: --rig_id Set the rig identifier that will be sent to the pool. This is only used for cryptonight pools. --cn_config=CONFIG Manual cryptonight configuration for the miner. CONFIG must be in the form [P][I0][M][I1][:xyz], where [P] is an optional prefix and [:xyz] is an optional suffix. For [P], only the value of 'L' is supported for low-end GPUs like Lexa/Baffin. [I0] and [I1] are the thread intensity values normally ranging from 1 to 16, but larger values are possible for 16GB gpus. [M] is the mode which can be either '.', -', '+' or '*'. Mode '.' means that the miner should choose or scan for the best mode. Mode '*' both a good default more and _should_ be used if you mine on a Vega 56/64 with modded mem timings. The exceptions to this rule are small pad variants (cnv8_trtl and cnv8_upx2), they should still use '+'. For Polaris gpus, only the '-' and '+' modes are available. NOTE: in TRM 0.5.0 auto-tuning functionality was added, making manual configuration of the CN config modes unnecessary except for rare corner cases. For more info, see the tuning docs and how-to documents bundled with the release. Example configs: --cn_config=15*15:AAA --cn_config=14-14 --cn_config=L4+3 CONFIG can also be a comma separated list of config values where each is applied to each GPU. For example: --cn_config=8-8,16+14:CBB,15*15,14-14 Any gpu that does not have a specific config in the list will use the first config in the list. --no_cpu_check Disables cpu verification of found shares before they are submitted to the pool. Note: only CN algos currently supports cpu verification. --no_lean Disables the CN lean mode where ramp up threads slowly on start or restart after network issues or gpu temp throttling. --no_interleave=DEVS Lists gpu devices where CN thread interleave logic should be not be used. The argument is a comma-separated list of devices like for the -d option. Use this argument if some device(s) get a worse hashrate together with a lot of interleave adjust log messages. --alloc_patch=DEVS Lists gpu devices that loses hashrate between TRM v0.4.5 and later versions. With this argument a simpler mem allocation strategy is used, and the old (higher) hashrate should be restored. Auto-tuning mode can still be used. --auto_tune=MODE Enable the auto-tune mode upon startup. Only available for CN variants. MODE must be either NONE, QUICK or SCAN. The QUICK mode checks a few known good configurations and completes within 1 min. The SCAN mode will check all possible combos and will run for 20-30 mins. Setting MODE to NONE disable the auto-tune feature. The default mode is QUICK. --auto_tune_runs(=N) Executes multiple runs for the auto tune, each time decreasing the unit of pads used -1 in one of the threads (15+15 -> 15+14 -> 14+14 -> 14+13 -> ...). You can specify the explicit nr of runs or let the miner choose a default value per gpu type (typically 3-4). --auto_tune_exit If present, the miner will exit after completing the auto-tuning process. This is helpful when you want to scan for optimal settings and then use the resulting command line arg printed by the miner. --allow_large_alloc If present, and when the driver indicates there is enough GPU vram available, the miner will be more aggressive with the initial memory allocation. In practice, this option means that Vega GPUs under Linux will start the auto-tuning process at 16*15 rather than 16*14 or 15*15. MTP options: --allow_all_devices Some algos can't be mined on e.g. 4GB gpus. Those gpus will be disabled automatically by the miner. This argument overrides this logic and allows mining on all specified or detected devices. X16* options: --hash_order=VALUE Sets a fixed hash order for algorithms like x16r for benchmarking purposes. Note that using this option needs a pool connection but will not submit shares. The standard benchmark hash order for x16r is --hash_order=0123456789abcdef. Nimiq options: --nimiq_worker=VALUE Sets the worker/device name for nimiq to pass to the pool(s). --nimiq_no_proxy Disables the automatic Nimiq proxy executed as a separate process. This means that the host and port passed to the miner must be pointing to a proxy. --nimiq_proxy=VALUE Overrides the default path to the Nimiq proxy. The default is trm_nimiq_proxy-win.exe. and trm_nimiq_proxy-linux in the current miner director. --nimiq_port=VALUE Overrides the default local port (4444) used for the Nimiq proxy. This can be used if your system is already using port 4444 for some other tcp/ip service.
