Build instructions:

Dependencies:

• Boost 1.62+

Windows:

Download and install:

• CUDA SDK (if not needed remove USE_CUDA_TROMP and USE_CUDA_DJEZO from nheqminer Preprocessor definitions under Properties > C/C++ > Preprocessor)
• Visual Studio 2015 Community: https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/news/releasenotes/vs2015-community-vs
• Visual Studio Update 5 installed
• 64 bit version only

Open nheqminer.sln under nheqminer/nheqminer.sln and build. You will have to build ReleaseSSE2 cpu_tromp project first, then Release7.5 cuda_tromp project, then select Release and build all.

Enabled solvers:

• USE_CPU_TROMP
• USE_CPU_XENONCAT
• USE_CUDA_TROMP
• USE_CUDA_DJEZO
• USE_CPU_VERUSHASH

If you don't wan't to build with all solvlers you can go to nheqminer Properties > C/C++ > Preprocessor > Preprocessor Definitions and remove the solver you don't need.

Linux

Work in progress. Working solvers CPU_TROMP, CPU_XENONCAT,CPU_VERUSHASH,

General instructions:

• Use Boost 1.62+ (if it is not available from the repos you will have to download and build it yourself)
• CMake v3.5 (if it is not available from the repos you will have to download and build it yourself)
• Currently support only static building (CPU_XENONCAT, CUDA_DJEZO are enabled by default, check CMakeLists.txt in nheqminer root folder)
• If not on Ubuntu make sure you have fasm installed and accessible in PATH
• After that open the terminal and run the following commands:
  • git clone https://github.com/veruscoin/nheqminer.git
  • Generating asm object file:
    • On Ubuntu:
      • cd nheqminer/cpu_xenoncat/asm_linux/
      • sh assemble.sh
    • bundeled fasm not compatible:
      • delete/replace (inside nheqminer/cpu_xenoncat/asm_linux/ directory) with fasm binary compatible with your distro
      • cd nheqminer/cpu_xenoncat/asm_linux/
      • sh assemble.sh
  • cd ../../../
  • mkdir build && cd build
  • cmake ../nheqminer
  • make -j $(nproc)

Run instructions:

Parameters:
        -h              Print this help and quit
        -l [location]   Stratum server:port
        -u [username]   Username (bitcoinaddress)
        -p [passwd]     password
        -a [port]       Local API port (default: 0 = do not bind)
        -d [level]      Debug print level (0 = print all, 5 = fatal only, default: 2)
        -b [hashes]     Run in benchmark mode (default: 200 iterations)

VerusHash settings
        -v              Mine with VerusHash algorithm
        -vm [magicnum]  set magic number for VerusHash chain other than VRSC

CPU settings
        -t [num_thrds]  Number of CPU threads
        -e [ext]        Force CPU ext (0 = SSE2, 1 = AVX, 2 = AVX2)

NVIDIA CUDA settings
        -ci             CUDA info
        -cv [ver]       Set CUDA solver (0 = djeZo, 1 = tromp)
        -cd [devices]   Enable CUDA mining on spec. devices
        -cb [blocks]    Number of blocks
        -ct [tpb]       Number of threads per block
Example: -cd 0 2 -cb 12 16 -ct 64 128

To mine verus, use the -v flag to mine with the VerusHash algorithm. Use parameter -h to learn about available parameters:

##Linux/MacOS Example to run benchmark on your CPU:

    ./nheqminer -v -b

Example to mine on your CPU with your own VRSC address and worker1 on Stratum USA server:

    ./nheqminer -v -l poolhost:port -u YourPublicVerusCoinAddress.newuser -p x -t 4

To mine with all threads use:

-t $(nproc) on Linux systems.

-t $(sysctl -n hw.physicalcpu) on Mac systems.

##Windows

Example to run benchmark on your CPU:

    nheqminer -v -b

Example to mine on your CPU with your own VRSC address and worker1 on Stratum USA server:

    nheqminer -v -l poolhost:port -u YourPublicVerusCoinAddress.newuser -p x -t 4
