how to use
To start Ethash, type the following in the .ini file:
[Ethash]
wallet=0x123…
coin=ETH
Enter your ETH address in the “Wallet” line and that is small enough to start mining Ethereum with Nanominer on Nanopool.
The easiest way to get a wallet is to register with a cryptocurrency exchange like Huobi or Kuna.
The next steps aren’t necessary, but if you have more than one RIG it would be much more convenient if you gave each one a different name so you can keep track of them individually in the pool.
You are also advised to provide your email address if you would like to receive notifications from the pool when your collaborator (RIG) goes offline. Your email address is also your password to access the settings. If you don’t want to receive the notifications, you can use a passphrase instead. As this is not mandatory, feel free to skip to the next step.
- Add the rigName= line under the wallet to specify your RIG name
- Add the email= line to specify your email/passphrase
NOTE: Nanominer connects to the pool’s default server and this may not be the best choice for you due to latency and you want the server you connect to to be as close to your location as possible . Therefore, add the follower parameter to the end of your nanominer’s config.ini file:
sortPools=true This enables automatic sorting of the pool’s servers based on their ping speed
You can be sure that Nanominer will automatically choose the server with the lowest ping time from your location and network latency will not affect your mining as the pool and miner communicate at the highest possible speed. Complete configuration example:
[Ethash]
wallet=0x52bc44d5378309ee2abf1539bf71de1b7d7be3b5
coin=ETH
rig name=Rig001
E-mail=[email protected]
sortPools=TRUE
Start the miner
Start the miner by running the nanominer.exe file. Nanominer starts, runs the commands to set these environment variables, initializes each of your GPUs, creates the DAG file on each of your GPUs, and starts hashing. After a while you can find your account in the pool.
Find your account on Nanopool
Remember that there is no registration for the pool. All you have to do is start mining and your account will appear automatically. Please allow some time, however, as our system takes about 30 minutes to add your account to the pool’s database since your miner submitted their first share. So please be patient and come back to Nanopool in a while. There is an address at the top right where you have to enter your Ethereum address. Once you have filled this out, press enter and you will be taken to your Nanopool account page.
Congratulations! You have joined Nanopool. Take some time to familiarize yourself with the pool and its features. You will like the user interface.

How to disable the GPU
If you do not want to start the miner on all available GPUs, but only on some, their numbers can be specified in the device parameter, separated by commas or spaces. nanominer numbers the GPUs starting from zero in ascending order of their PCI addresses. You can see a list of available GPUs and their order by starting nanominer with the -d command line option:
For example, if there are four GPUs in the system (0, 1, 2, 3) and all but the penultimate one (indexed as 2) need to be set to mine, the “devices” option in the file needs to be set like this:
The order of the devices determines the order of the displayed hashrate. For example, if it is set like this:
Then the Hashrate line will first show GPU3, then GPU1, and finally GPU0.
Sample configuration file for mining Ethereum, Monero, Ubiq and PascalCoin on the same 8 GPU rig with separate devices:
rig name = Attachment 1
[Ethash]
wallet = 0xada842613541e55e2500478892a334cde74ff653
Devices = 0.1
[Etchash]
wallet = 0xada842613541e55e2500478892a334cde74ff653
Devices = 5
[Ubqhash]
wallet = 0x111111111111111111111111111111111111111
page 1 = ubiq-eu.maxhash.org:8008
Devices = 2,3,4,6,7
[RandomX]
wallet=84XFxjQVYoJjQBeyfbcYBgJ1tw4cgywGyTp12nQw3mSKZctgMYuPGRH1y2LuBAS8yyT8ZX2NDS3CXbfFAxdXQJwAGMoMDSq
LHR
Optional parameter for ethash and etchash algorithms. Can be used to set desired percentage of fully unlocked hashrate. The valid range is 50 to 100. Can also be set to Off (-1) or Auto (0). Use off for non-LHR charts and auto for automatic detection and matching of LHR charts. Default is automatic. This parameter can be set separately for each GPU. In this case, the order must match the order of the GPUs specified in the device parameter. For example:
Devices=0,2,3
you=71.5, out, 0
LHR Partial Unlock with Nanomienr and NBMiner (3060, 3070 Ti, 3080 Ti tested)
In this video, I go through and test the latest version of NBMiner, which promises up to 70% unlocking of the full Ethereum hashrate from Nvidia LHR GPUs.
