BzMiner 12.2.0 (LHR): Download and configure for mining ETH, ETC, RVN


This guide covers how to run and use BzMiner latest version v12.2.0 and above. BzMiner is a miner with a command line interface. It is started with a .bat file or a config.txt configuration file. Supports three algorithms: Ethash for Ethereum mining, etchash for Ethereum Classic mining, and Kawpow for Ravencoin. The program integrates into HiveOS and MMPOS. Auto Intensity dynamically adjusts graphics card workloads to reduce latency while maintaining a high hashrate. Commission: Devfee of this miner is only 0.5%.

100% LHR Unlock v1

BzMiner v9.1.0 introduced a 100% LHR unlocker that was only semi-stable. v9.1.3 has much higher stability and hash rate. If the card becomes unstable (e.g. lhr exception), reduce overclocking and reduce --lhr_stability.

--lhr_stability – affects both the hash rate and the stability of the LHR unlock. Higher values will increase the hash rate but may crash the GPU. Lower values are more stable, but may cause LHR to trigger instantly, which will lower the hashrate a bit. Play with it.

To disable LHR unlock, set --lhr_stability to 0. Default is 100.

Unlocking the LHR can sometimes cause an “LHR exception”. In this case, reduce the value of the --lhr_stability parameter. This “exception” will allow the device to continue mining, but at a much slower rate. Recovery requires a hard reboot of the device, which means rebooting the computer. BzMiner provides a --lhr_exception option that, if set to true and an LHR exception occurs on the map, will restart the machine.

Mining OS including BzMiner

How to set up BzMiner

Step 1 – Download miner

Download the miner from two official sources to choose from:

  • on the official website: www.bzminer.com
  • or from GitHub: https://github.com/bzminer/bzminer/releases
  1. go to site. Find the “Releases” section and below “Assets”:
  2. Download the latest version from above table for Windows 10.
  3. Unpack the downloaded archive.

Step 2 – Set up BzMiner

After extracting the archive, you need to create .bat files.

bzminer_files

In the same folder as bzminer.exe, you need to create or modify an existing file with a .bat extension.

Just create a .txt file and give it a .bat extension.

Open the .bat file with Notepad. Below is an example configuration for a Binance pool. You need to enter the following commands into it:

bzminer -a ethash -w username1 -p ethproxy+tcp://ethash.poolbinance.com:8888
pause

Instead of username1, just enter your username from the Binance pool.

Step 3 – Run the miner

Now you need to start the miner.

Important note! You are not running bzminer.exe. Instead, you click on the .bat file you just created.

So, after running the program for several minutes, you will see a window with a hash rate:

Setting up for Ethermine

  1. 0xada842613541e55e2500478892a334cde74ff653 – enter your wallet.
  2. eu1.ethermine.org – enter the address of the pool.
  3. 4444 – Specify the pool port.

Commands and Options

Commands and Options

  • -a TEXT Select mining algorithm. For example. “ethash”.
  • -w TEXT Specify wallet address.
  • -p TEXT .. Array of pool addresses. eg. stratum+tcp://us1.ethermine.org:4444

Optional commands:

Intensity

  • -i INT Set mining intensity (1 – 32). The higher, the more time the GPU spends hashing. The default is 8.
  • -g INT Overclock the miner at your discretion rather than running it at full speed.
  • –reset_oc_dag_gen INT Reset overclock before generating DAG file. Overclocking will be enabled back after the dag is created. 1 = enabled, 0 = disabled.

Quick start bzminer

Run bzminer with wallet and pool address as parameters:

bzminer -w 0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000 -p ethstratum+tcp://eth.geodns.flexpool.io:4444 -r worker_name

You can specify more than one pool address for -p for standby pools on network errors:

bzminer -w 0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000 -p ethstratum+tcp://eth.geodns.flexpool.io:4444 stratum+tcp://usw-eth.hiveon.net:4444 -r worker_name

If you wish, you can edit config.txt and run bzminer. You can specify a configuration file with the -c argument:

bzminer -c eth-config.txt

Ethw (EthPOW)

bzminer -a ethw -w 0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000 -p ethproxy+tcp://pool.woolypooly.com:3096 -r worker_name

Alephium mining may require 4 wallet addresses (solo mining). For solo mining, change “stratum” to “alphstratum”.

bzminer -a alph -w 000000 -p stratum+tcp://eu.metapool.tech:20032 alphstratum+tcp://185.71.66.100:10159

Kaspa

Kaspa mining currently requires a running node (an experimental pool implementation is provided at BzMiner). For solo mining use node+tcp.

bzminer -a kaspa -w 000000 -p node+tcp://127.0.0.1:16110

For pool mining, change “node” to “stratum”.

bzminer -a kaspa -w 000000 -p stratum+tcp://pool.us.woolypooly.com:3112

bzminer -a ethash -w 000000 -p stratum+tcp://us1.ethermine.org:4444 --a2 alph --w2 000000 --p2 stratum+tcp://eu.metapool.tech:20032

Zil

Zil can only be mined at certain times of the day, so this is usually the algorithm you want to double or triple mine with.

bzminer -a zil -w 0000 -p zmp://zil.flexpool.io

Zil dual mining

Zil can be mined with any other algorithm. The example below shows Erg + Zil

bzminer -a ergo -w 0000 -p stratum-ergo.flypool.org:3333 --a2 zil --w2 1111 --p2 zmp://zil.flexpool.io

Zil triple mining

Zil can be obtained by any other double combo. The example below shows Erg + Kaspa + Zil

bzminer -a ergo -w 0000 -p stratum-ergo.flypool.org:3333 --a2 kaspa --w2 1111 --p2 stratum+tcp://pool.woolyp
