 The Best Miner Software for Ethereum 

Ethereum has become one of the most popular cryptocurrencies, and miners are able to profit through the use of its blockchain technology.

 If you’re looking to get involved in Ethereum mining, the first step is selecting the best software to use with your hardware. Here are some of the best miner software options available right now.

The Best Miner Software for Ethereum

Go Ethereum.

Ethereum is a decentralized platform that runs smart contracts: applications that run exactly as programmed without any possibility of downtime, censorship, fraud or third party interference.

•  These apps run on a custom built blockchain, an enormously powerful shared global infrastructure that can move value around and represent the ownership of property.

•  This enables developers to create markets, store registries of debts or promises, create voting systems, move funds in accordance with instructions given long in the past (like a will or a futures contract) and many other things that have not been invented yet, all without a middle man or counterparty risk.

•  The project was bootstrapped via an ether presale in August 2014 by fans all around the world. It is developed by Ethereum Foundation with contributions from great minds across the globe.

Cudo Miner.

CudoMiner is a multi-threaded, highly optimized GPU miner that runs on modern AMD/NVIDIA GPUs.

•  It supports both Linux and Windows platforms. Being an open source project, it allows all users to tweak it according to their own needs without restrictions.

•  If you are interested in trying out CudoMiner, get a dedicated computer with at least 8GB of RAM (4GB is recommended), 1TB HDD, 10MB internet connection and 12 CPU cores. You can download CudoMiner from github here.

Claymore Dual Miner.

Claymore is widely regarded as one of, if not the best miner software. While it's not quite as user-friendly as some other options, its performance and hash rate are top notch.

•  The software is command line based, which means you'll need to type commands into your computer rather than clicking on a file.

•  It takes a bit more time to get used to than some of its competitors, but once you've got it down you'll be able to tweak everything from intensity to fan speed with just a few keystrokes.

•  One particularly nice feature that miners enjoy using is that there are no fees at all (for mining or registering).

•  This makes Claymore extremely attractive when compared to something like Zcash where fees make up 3% of mining rewards; that's huge!.

EWBF Cuda Zcash Miner.

EWBF is a relatively new miner for Nvidia GPUs and, as such, it does not yet have a huge community of users.

•  The EWBF Zcash miner offers miners a modded version of EWBF's CUDA Zcash miner.

•  The software is open source, written in C++ and has been compiled using Microsoft Visual Studio 2015.

•  However, one thing to note with all these pre-compiled binaries is that they do not come with support – so you will need to find a third party source (like another user or forum) if you want any help troubleshooting your issues or need some tips on tweaking your settings for extra performance.

NiceHash Alternative.

NiceHash has recently been hacked, so it’s probably a good idea to look into other miner software as well. Ethpool and Ethermine are two of your best options.

•  If you want to set up a rig on either of these pools you need miner software that works with these pools specifically.

•  Some people prefer Genoil or Claymore over Ethminer, but if you’re looking for convenience and simplicity then Ethminer is probably your best bet.

•  You can download it from their official website (ethpool & etheremine). I won’t go into too much detail in explaining how to set up mining rigs because there are plenty of tutorials online that explain it better than I could, but if you have any questions feel free to ask!.

XMR-Stak Monero Mining Software.

XMR-Stak is a universal Stratum pool miner. It currently supports BTC, BCH, BTG, DASH, DCR, ETH, ETC, EXP, LTC, MONA, XMR and ZEC. XMR-.

• Stak also has an additional Modular Component which allows it to mine non-Proof of Work coins such as NeoScrypt based coins like Feathercoin (FTC) and various Lyra2REv2 based coins like Vivo (VIVO) or LuxCoin (LUX).

•  To use a Modular Component you must already have chosen your desired Proof of Work coin to mine in your configuration file.

Phoenix Miner.

The Phoenix miner has been around since 2013, though it’s since been completely rewritten in C++.

•  In addition to AMD and Nvidia, you can also mine ethereum with FPGAs and ASICs, making it one of the most versatile miners out there.

•  There are a few downsides to Phoenix: First, its closed source, meaning that you can’t see what it’s doing inside—this isn’t so bad if you want your rig to just run as fast as possible (though many people want to tweak their setups).

 Second, it offers no built-in pool support; instead, you have to use a third-party program like Mining Pool Hub or Ethermine.

Kryptex.

Kryptex is an algorithm specific mining software that can be used to mine both Ethereum and cryptonight coins. Currently, it’s only available on Linux, but with a bit of command line fu you can make it work on Mac or Windows.

•  The most interesting thing about Kryptex is that it’s open source and also has a built-in cryptocurrency exchange (Kryptex Automated Exchange) where you can easily buy or sell crypto-coins.

•  This makes it an ideal multipurpose mining tool for newbies who are just getting started in crypto-currency mining since everything is handled seamlessly by one single application.
