ForgeMiner
A native NVIDIA GPU miner for Pearl (PearlHash) and KawPow (Ravencoin, Quai, Neurai), talking to the GPU directly through the CUDA Driver API — no Python, no WSL, no extra runtimes.
Pros:
- Dedicated kernel per GPU generation (Pascal, Turing, Ampere, Ada, Blackwell), auto-selected at launch.
- Near-zero CPU load — direct CUDA Driver API, no Python/toolkit, runs well on weak hosts and crowded rigs.
- Built-in overclocking, power limit and fan control (fixed speed or temperature curve) — no third-party OC tool needed.
- Multi-pool with automatic reconnect and fail-over.
- HiveOS ready — drops straight into a Custom miner slot.
Cons:
- Closed-source; releases are published only on GitHub, Telegram and Discord.
- NVIDIA only — no AMD, Intel, or CPU mining.
