Windows utils for https://github.com/tontechio/pow-miner-gpu

Batch files

Requirements: you must have miner binaries in your system, see https://github.com/tontechio/pow-miner-gpu

• run_config.ini - miner and tools configuration
• test_cuda.bat - run performance test for Nvidia GPU
• run_cuda.bat - run miner for Nvidia GPU
• test_opencl.bat - run performance test for AMD GPU
• run_opencl.bat - run miner for AMD GPU

Usage

1. Download, extract and place to same directory where miner *.exe files located
2. Edit run_config.ini, variable names self-explanatory
3. Run test_cuda.bat or test_opencl.bat (based on your GPU) for performance test and optimal BOOST_FACTOR value
4. Do not forget to enable (USE_LOG=Y) or disable (USE_LOG=N) miner logging
5. Run run_cuda.bat or run_opencl.bat (based on your GPU) to start the miner

run_config.ini

• GIVER_ADDR: auto / random strategy name or constant giver-contract address, choose one from https://ton.org/mining
• MY_ADDR: your personal wallet address, get wallet app from https://ton.org/wallets and create a wallet
• GPU_ID: your GPU for multi-gpu systems. First GPU comes with GPU_ID=0, second with GPU_ID=1, etc
• GPU_PLATFORM_ID: this is related to OpenCL (AMD) only. Check your driver stats and/or dry-run the miner - it will show which platform number and gpu id is available
• BOOST_FACTOR: mining perfomance tuning for your setup. Run test_cuda.bat or test_opencl.bat to get optimal BOOST_FACTOR value
• CONFIG_FILE: save the local copy of TON network config file https://newton-blockchain.github.io/global.config.json
• USE_LOG: value Y enable logging. Value N disable logging
• LOG_FILE: filename used when USE_LOG=Y
• TEST_TIME: time in seconds for each test in test_cuda.bat or test_opencl.bat to obtain BOOST_FACTOR value. Lower to get faster results, rise to get more accurate results
