--coin <COIN>
Sets the coin ticker
Only applicable to DAG based algorithms used by multiple coins.
Unless you're mining to a profit switching pool like Nicehash,
setting the coin ticker has the benefit of eliminating DAG rebuilds when
the miner switches to dev fee and back to the user job.
Note that not all possible coins are recognised by the miner,
and the up-to-date list is maintained on the project's webpage.
Supported coins (the list is not exhaustive):
`autolykos2`: erg, blocx
`kawpow`: aipg, clore, neox, xna, rvn
`ethash`: ethw, octa, xpb
When dual or triple mining the value should be prepended with
the algorithm index `[<index>]`. Primary algorithm has index 1.

--coin rvn
--coin aipg
--coin [1]octa
-o, --url <URL>

as more energy efficient than #1 when targeting low power draw

as more energy efficient than #1 when targeting low power draw

--dag-reset-mclock <on/off>
Enables or disables resetting memory overclock during DAG generation. Default is "on".
If enabled, the miner sets the GPU memory clock offset to 0 MHz before
building the DAG to avoid its corruption, and re-applies the original offset
after the DAG has been built.
Example:
--dag-reset-mclock off
disables memory OC reset (useful when OC is controlled by an external tool)
--reset-oc
Reset all overclock (including fan control) to default settings and exit
--autolykos2-prebuild <on/off>
Enables or disables autolykos2 dataset prebuild. Default is "on".
If the prebuild is enabled for a GPU but there is not enough free
memory to hold two datasets, the miner will fall back to using a single
dataset and prebuild will be disabled.
Comma-separated list of values can be used to set values per-GPU
To skip a GPU, set the corresponding value to underscore `_`
Example:
--autolykos2-prebuild on,off,on
enables prebuild for GPU#0 and GPU#2 and disables for GPU#1
--ethash-cache-dag <on/off>
Enables or disables ethash DAG caching. Default is "on".
If enabled, the miner attempts to keep DAGs for different epochs in
memory to avoid rebuilding them in the future if another job with the same
epoch is received again.
The only limiting factor of how many DAGs can be kept is the amount of
memory on the GPU.
Comma-separated list of values can be used to set values per-GPU
To skip a GPU, set the corresponding value to underscore `_`
Example:
--ethash-cache-dag on,off,on
enables DAG cache for GPU#0 and GPU#2 and disables for GPU#1
--kawpow-cache-dag <on/off>
Enables or disables kawpow DAG caching. Default is "on".
If enabled, the miner attempts to keep DAGs for different epochs in
memory to avoid rebuilding them in the future if another job with the same
epoch is received again.
The only limiting factor of how many DAGs can be kept is the amount of
memory on the GPU.
Comma-separated list of values can be used to set values per-GPU
To skip a GPU, set the corresponding value to underscore `_`
Example:
--kawpow-cache-dag on,off,on
enables DAG cache for GPU#0 and GPU#2 and disables for GPU#1
--nexapow-small-lut <on/off>

Comma-separated list of values can be used to set values per-GPU
To skip a GPU, set the corresponding value to underscore `_`
Example:
--nexapow-small-lut on,off,on
enforces small LUT for GPU#0 and GPU#2
--zil <on/off>
Enables or disables mining Zilliqa per GPU. Default is "on".
Useful for disabling ZIL mining for individual GPUs
Example:
--zil off,on,on
disables ZIL mining for GPU#0
--zil-cache-dag <on/off>
Enables or disables caching Zilliqa DAG. Default is "on".
If enabled, ZIL DAG is generated when the miner starts up and
is kept in GPU memory at all times even if it means lower performance
for the primary algorithm in dual/triple mining mode.
If disabled, the DAG is built on-demand when a ZIL round starts
and then destroyed after it's finished.
Comma-separated list of values can be used to set values per-GPU
To skip a GPU, set the corresponding value to underscore `_`
Example:
--zil-cache-dag on,off,on
enables DAG cache for GPU#0 and GPU#2 and disables for GPU#1
--zil-countdown
Enables Zilliqa countdown timer
--zil-retain-hashrate <on/off>
Enables or disables displaying ZIL hashrate between rounds. Default is "on".
--zil-test
Enables Zilliqa mining test mode
In this mode the miner will connect to a virtual Zilliqa pool which initiates
short ZIL mining sessions more frequently than a normal pool (every 30s).
Useful for making sure the overclock settings are stable when switching
from the primary algorithm to `zil` and back - no need to wait for the next
ZIL window which may start in an hour.
--zil-test-intervals <ZIL_TEST_INTERVALS>
Sets durations of primary algorithm and Zilliqa sessions in test mode
Default value: `[30;30]`
Format:
--zil-test-intervals [D1;D2]
set primary algo duration to `D1` seconds
set ZIL duration to `D2` seconds
Example:
--zil-test-intervals [10;60]
the miner will mine the primary algorithm for 10 seconds, switch to ZIL,
mine ZIL for 60 seconds, switch back, and so on
--enable-fork
Enables algorithm switch for hard forks
--activate-fork
Activates algorithm switch for hard forks
Can be used to simulate post-hard fork behaviour and test
overclock settings, stratum connectivity etc. before the fork
-l, --log-file <LOG_FILE>
Enables logging output of the miner to the specified log file
If the log file already exists it will be appended.
The miner uses log rotation keeping maximum of 5 log files,
size limit is 5MB.
Supports the following template parameters:
`{algo}` - algorithm name
`{ts}` - timestamp in the format "yyyyMMdd_HHmmss"
note when using this option the miner will be creating
a new log file every time it is launched
Example:
--log-file rigel_{algo}_{ts}.log
Files created:
rigel_kawpow_20240115_123240.log
rigel_kawpow_20240116_185402.log
rigel_kawpow_20240116_190938.log
--log-network
Enables logging network traffic (useful for debugging)
--api-bind <IP:PORT>

Examples:
--api-bind 127.0.0.1:5000
--api-bind 0.0.0.0:5000
--proxy <PROXY>
Sets SOCKS5 proxy for all network connections including DNS lookups
Format:
No auth: <host>:<port>
Auth: <username>:<password>@<host>:<port>
Examples:
--proxy 127.0.0.1:8091
--proxy admin:qwerty@myproxy.server.com:8080
--dns-over-https
Enables pool DNS resolution using DNS-over-HTTPS (Cloudflare)
--no-strict-ssl
Disables SSL/TLS certificate verification
Useful with self-hosted mining solutions where the mining pool
provides a self-signed certificate.
However, adding the certificate to the system's trust store
should be preferred (see https://github.com/rigelminer/rigel/issues/130).
--stats-interval <SECONDS>
GPU stats reporting interval in seconds. Default is 20.
Set to `X` to disable periodic reports.
--long-timestamps
Enables milliseconds timestamps in the miner output
--no-pool-url
Hides pool URL from the share submissions log
and displays the algorithm name instead
--no-colour
Disables colour in the miner output (TUI would still display colours)
--no-tui
Disables terminal user interface (TUI)
--multi-device-arg-mode <MULTI_DEVICE_ARG_MODE>
Defines argument validation in multi-GPU mode. Default is "match".
Applicable to all per-GPU arguments (`--cclock`, `--mclock`, `--temp-limit`,
`--kernel` etc.) when the number of supplied values is more than one and
doesn't match the number of GPUs - this usually occurs when one of the GPUs
disappears from the system (taken out for maintenance, PCIE connectivity loss
and so on) but the miner is run with the same config.
Accepted values:
match - display an error and exit if the number of values doesn't match
the number of GPUs exactly
first - ignore any extra values if too many, and use the first value in the list
for the GPUs that don't have a value
last - ignore any extra values if too many, and use the last value in the list
for the GPUs that don't have a value
Example (assuming 3 GPUs available):
--multi-device-arg-mode first
"--lock-cclock 1100,1200,1300,1400" will result in
GPU#0 1100
GPU#1 1200
GPU#2 1300
"--lock-cclock 1100,1200" will result in
GPU#0 1100
GPU#1 1200
GPU#2 1100
--no-watchdog
Disables miner watchdog
