Simple-XMR-Miner

Monero CPU miner written in python3 for learning purpose. Heavily inspired from https://github.com/ricmoo/nightminer/ but uses JSON RPC 2.0 and cryptonight algorithm.

The miner is in python 3, the hash function is in C (see the folder cryptonight_lib/) It is slow, about 40% of best miners on my system. I may try to implement a miner only in C.

Command Line Interface

ggminer.py [-h] [-a {cryptonight}] [-o URL] [-u USERNAME] [-p PASSWORD] [-t THREAD] [-d DEBUG]

optional arguments:
  -h, --help                       show this help message and exit
  -a, --algo                       hashing algorithm to use for proof of work {cryptonight}
  -o URL, --url URL                stratum mining server url (eg: stratum+tcp://foobar.com:3333)
  -u USERNAME, --user USERNAME     username for mining server
  -p PASSWORD, --pass PASSWORD     password for mining server
  -t THREAD, --thread THREAD       number of mining threads to start
  -d, --debug                      show extra debug information
