Run niceprofit -p INSER_PATH_TO_CPUMINER_HERE
Install Rust, clone, compile and run.
curl https://sh.rustup.rs -sSf | sh
git clone [email protected]:StefanoChiodino/niceprofit.git
cd niceprofit
cargo run --bin niceprofit -- -p INSER_PATH_TO_CPUMINER_HERE
Nicehash Windows Gui is very good and it takes care of everything. It benchmarks your CPU/GPU and then keep switching to the most profitable algorithm.
On linux there is not such nice option. Nicehash advises to use tpruvot's cpuminer but there is no autoswitching, benchmarking, etc build on top of it.
Niceprofit goal is to find your CPU hashrates for all algorithms and then select the most profitable with the up to date data from Nicehash API.
Follow the official website to install rust.
This is usually done via rustup as simply as running curl https://sh.rustup.rs -sSf | sh
Follow Nicehash instructions on how to install cpuminer. Then either put the executable in the bin folder, add the path to the executable to $PATH, or specify the path in the command line of Niceprofit
cargo run --bin niceprofit executed inside Niceprofit's folder will compile it and run it.
Use cargo run --bin niceprofit -- --help to see the options.
OPTIONS:
-p, --cpuminer-path <cpuminer_path>
Sets the path of cpuminer [default: cpuminer]
Niceprofit will benchmark all available algorithms for 100 seconds by default.
For now Niceprofit only benchmarks all the algorithms and tell you their profitability based on your CPU, and which one is the most profitable.
I hope to make Niceprofit as good as the Windows GUI alternative, switching between the most profitable algorithm in real time, and maybe adding GPU support.
