A multi-threaded CPU miner for Bitcoin written in C, using libcurl and optionally jansson. It runs as the 'minerd' command-line daemon supporting Linux, macOS, and Windows builds.
Use cases
- mine bitcoin with CPU threads
- run a command-line bitcoin miner on linux
- build a cpu miner for windows with mingw
- mine cryptocurrency using only CPU
- benchmark cpu hashing performance for bitcoin
When to choose
- you need a lightweight, dependency-minimal CPU miner in C
- you want to mine Bitcoin on CPU hardware
- you need a cross-platform miner buildable on Linux and Windows
When to avoid
- you want GPU or ASIC mining performance
- you need a GUI miner
- you mine coins requiring scrypt or other non-SHA256 algorithms
