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

simple-xmr-miner's Issues

no able to run

error
OSError: cryptonight_lib/libcryptonight_lib.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Running Purely on Python?

Would is be possible to create a similar script that mined Monero but did it with just Python (without the need for C)?

Using Cython to speed up the python scripts

Have you thought about using Cython to speed up the Miner?

run problem

Hi,please help.
It showed:

Why show this error?Is not support monero V7?

Version 7 compatible?

Hi, thanks for this great example miner, it makes a lot more sense to me looking at the code in python(with a little bit of C) than it does to look at a pure C implementation. Helps me figure out how mining this actually works with less investigation required on my part.

Will this setup in its current for work with the version 7 fork, or will there need to be adjustments in the code to make it work with version 7?

I cloned the repo and tried to run it but It threw this error. It would be nice if u can help
