PeakMiner
A miner for NVIDIA GPUs, tuned for the PearlHash algorithm and the Pearl coin, with CUDA kernels optimized per GPU generation from Turing through Blackwell. It also mines Quantus on AMD Radeon cards.
Pros:
- Kernel profiles tuned per GPU architecture — high hashrate at low power draw.
- Built-in overclocking and per-GPU temperature limits, no external OC tool needed.
- Auto-detects TCP vs SSL pools and supports comma-separated failover pool URLs.
- Ships for Windows, Linux (HiveOS) and Docker, with a built-in HTTP stats API for rig monitoring.
Cons:
- Proprietary, closed-source — redistribution and reverse engineering are restricted by the license.
- AMD cards mine Quantus only; no Intel or CPU mining.
- Relatively new miner, coin support is still limited.
List of Coins and Algorithms:
- Pearl (PRL) — PearlHash
- Quantus (QTC) — quantus
Fees
- Pearl 3%
- Quantus 2%
Supported GPUs
- NVIDIA Turing (RTX 20xx, T4, CMP 30HX) and newer — Ampere (RTX 30xx, A100), Ada (RTX 40xx), Hopper (H100/H200), Blackwell (RTX 50xx, B200/B300).
- AMD, Quantus only (OpenCL, Windows and Linux): Polaris — RX 460/470/480 and RX 550/560/570/580/590 (on Linux they need the legacy amdgpu-pro 22.40 OpenCL runtime); RDNA 1 — RX 5600/5600 XT/5700/5700 XT, RX 5600M/5700M, Radeon Pro W5700.
