Download Installer here

The installer downloads the latest version and verifies the integrity and authenticity of all files. You have to make sure to run only trusted software signed by our certificate owned by company H-BIT d.o.o. You should see a UAC message like this one:

IMPORTANT: If you have issues with Windows Defender (partially) blocking NiceHash QuickMiner, then read about the solution here.

Stable version 0.5.5.0 is available using this zip file:

For your safety, we recommend that you verify the SHA checksums.

ATTENTION! THIS VERSION REQUIRES NVIDIA DRIVER VERSION 511.09 OR HIGHER!

The new LHR unlock algorithm may unstabilize the NVIDIA driver (drivers shall restart automatically).

By downloading this software you agree to the Terms of Service and give consent to collect, use and store your data according to our Privacy Policy.

Changes since the last stable version v0.5.3.6:

  • Full LHR removal
  • Adjusted LHR timings
  • Job switching optimizations
  • Add a secondary unlock system for cards which doesn't unlock after DAG generation
  • When the monitoring fails to return a valid value exit application
  • Partial unlock (~90%) of LHRv3 cards (3080 and 3050 12GB)
  • Increased stability of the LHR unlock system (increased CPU usage for LHRv3 cards).
  • Removed the old LHR unlock system and all associated functionalities in QM/OCtune.
  • Modified /quickstart API so it can start and stop with no provided parameters to include that logic in OCtune.
  • The LHRv3 unlock system has two algorithms: the first leading to a faster hash rate and the second being more stable. The default algorithm is the fastest one, switch to the more stable one can be achieved by using "-CLS" in the Excavator command line.
  • Fan control for NVidia cards is reverted to the "slope" model as the PID fan control acts too heretically with high VRAM temperature.
  • The NVidia minimum driver version is raised to 511.09. The latest version of the driver disables the LHR unlock system. The recommended driver version for the LHR unlock system is 512.77.
  • OCTune redesign.
  • Stability fixes for the LHR cards.
  • Add support for the new mining address format.
  • Add to windows registry mining address / latest run NHQM and store information about every zipped version used on the system.
  • Correct an issue where the language was switching from local to English if there was no pre-existing configuration file. Now QM will use in such case by default the local language if supported, English otherwise (change to the language is still possible from the configuration menu)
  • Fixed a bug causing a slower hash rate on the previous version.
  • Correct issue with AMD card (e.g., 5600xt) for which max memory allocation for a single variable is smaller than dag size.
  • The installer will show only the "stable" version if no RC is provided (or if it is identical to the stable one).
  • LHR driver version check moved to the excavator (removed from QM).
