A mining client for the DERO blockchain, written in C.

• Multi-threaded Mining — Configurable thread count (1-64) for maximum CPU utilization
• CPU Affinity — Optional core pinning for consistent performance and reduced context switching
• Hardware Optimization — Runtime CPU detection with SSE4.1 SIMD support for Salsa20

• GCC compiler
• OpenSSL dev libraries (libssl-dev)
• cJSON (libcjson-dev)
• GMP (libgmp-dev)
• Linux with POSIX threads

make clean && make

./cminer -n pool.example.com:10100 -w dero1qyf5nzqyf5nzqyf5nzqyf5nz... -t 8 -a

Arguments:

• -n <node> — Mining pool address (required)
• -w <wallet> — DERO wallet address (required)
• -t <threads> — Worker threads (default: 1, max: 64)
• -a — Enable CPU affinity binding (optional)

On startup, the miner detects and displays which implementation will be used:

Salsa20: Using SSE4.1-optimized implementation

Falls back to portable C implementation on systems without SSE4.1 support.

AstroBWT v3 — Employs libdivsufsort for fast suffix array construction.

• OS: Linux (x86-64, ARM64)
• Compiler: GCC
