Getting started
- Unpack the archive for your platform.
- Open a
start_<algo>script and replace the placeholder wallet with your own. - Run it, then open http://127.0.0.1:4014/ for the dashboard.
readme.txt inside each archive has the full quick start, the common options, and
the hardware-safety settings. config.txt is a commented copy of every setting,
generated from the shipped binary, so it always matches the build you have.
Updating on a mining OS
Both fetch this exact version, so they can be pasted as-is - the version below is already the one on this page.
MMPOS
Put this in miner profile → advanced → "Initiate command prior to miner launch".
It downloads once; on every later launch the if sees the archive already in
/tmp and exits immediately, so it costs nothing per restart.
export version="v100.16"
if [ -f "/tmp/bzminer_${version}_linux.tar.gz" ]; then
exit 0
else
cd /tmp; wget https://github.com/bzminer/bzminer/releases/download/${version}/bzminer_${version}_linux.tar.gz; tar -xvf bzminer_${version}_linux.tar.gz; sudo cp -adpR bzminer_${version}_linux/bzminer /opt/mmp/miners/bzminer/
fiHive OS custom miner
The Linux release now includes bzminer_custom-v100.16.tar.gz, a complete Hive OS custom
miner: the full bzminer binary, flight-sheet config adapter, log launcher, and
native /hive_status reporting.
- Click Copy on the Flight Sheet JSON below.
- Open the Hive OS farm page that lists all workers.
- Open the Flight Sheets tab.
- Click Import from Clipboard.
- Create/save the flight sheet and add your PEARL wallet.
- Apply the flight sheet to the workers.
The sample mines Pearl on HeroMiners. Change url, pool_urls, algo, and
coin for another pool or algorithm. The package maps those fields, %WAL%,
the Hive worker name, and pass directly to bzminer. Put optional bzminer CLI
arguments in user_config.

}Hive OS built-in miner (manual binary replacement)
Run it over SSH or in the Hive web shell.
You do not need to know which bzminer version is installed. Hive keeps one
folder per version under /hive/miners/bzminer/, and the flight sheet decides
which one runs - so this replaces the binary in every bzminer folder it finds
and whichever one your flight sheet points at gets the new build. That is the
whole reason it does not name a version directory.
version=v100.16
cd /tmp && wget -q https://github.com/bzminer/bzminer/releases/download/${version}/bzminer_${version}_linux.tar.gz && tar -xf bzminer_${version}_linux.tar.gz || { echo "download failed"; exit 1; }
miner stop
n=0; for d in /hive/miners/bzminer/*/; do [ -d "$d" ] && cp -f "bzminer_${version}_linux/bzminer" "$d" && n=$((n+1)); done
[ "$n" -gt 0 ] && echo "updated $n bzminer folder(s)" || echo "no /hive/miners/bzminer/<version>/ found - install bzminer from the flight sheet first"
miner startIt prints how many folders it updated. 0 means bzminer has never been installed
from a flight sheet on that rig, so there is nothing to replace yet.
Reporting problems
Please include: your OS, GPU model(s) and driver version, the algorithm and pool,
and the first ~40 lines of the log (it prints the build, the devices it found, and
what each backend reported). --list-metrics output helps for sensor issues.

Bzminer Basic Commands
--disable disables the specified video cards from mining. A space is used as a separator. Use the device ID in the format pci_bus:pci_device (eg --disable 1:0 3:0). Use the --devices command to find the device IDs. In HiveOS, this parameter is set in the add. configuration;
-w this field specifies the address of your wallet or the address of the account on the pool;
--w2 to specify the second address if you mine in dual mode;
--pool_password, --pool_password2 password, use x by default;
-w, --worker, --worker2 worker name (rig ). It is set either as a separate parameter or through a dot after the wallet address;
--cpu-priority the level of CPU utilization during mining on a video card. The default is set to 2. If the processor does not pull, you can set 0. The maximum value is 5;
--reconnect-on-fail-shares reconnect the miner to the pool in case of receiving rejected shares from the pool ;
--nvidia 1mine only on Nvidia devices;
--amd 1mine only on AMD devices;
-h, --help display all available commands.
Bzminer Overclocking
--oc_lock_memory_clock Lock overclock value in memory. You can also set different values for video cards separated by a space;
--oc_core_clock_offset sets the core clock frequency of the video card in MHz. A space-separated value can be specified for multiple cards;
--oc_memory_clock_offset sets the graphics card memory frequency in MHz. You can specify a value for several cards through a space;
--oc_power_limit specifying the power limit (video card consumption), in watts. Through a space, you can specify a value unique for each card. For example --oc_power_limit 140 150 160 150.
