CPU Speed
In short, JCE is:
Crazy fast on non-AES 64-bits, usually 35-40% faster than other miners
Compared to other 32-bits miners, still faster on non-AES 32-bits, sometimes beating even the other miners 64-bits versions
And still comparatively faster on non-AES 32-bits Cryptonight-Heavy, with usually +50% speed.
Slightly faster than the other best on AES 64-bits, beating them by ~1% on CN-classic, +2.8% on v7 fork, +2% on v8, +4% on Cryptonight-Heavy
A lot faster than any other miner when mining BitTube v2, on any processor, with ~30% extra speed.
Also a lot faster on AES 32-bits, but it's a rare case (mostly seen on Intel Atom tablets)
Third Party integration
If you're a Mining Tool dev (like Forager or Awsome Miner...) and want to integrate JCE, here's a good command to spawn JCE. Most parameters are similar to other common miners.
Code:
jce_cn_cpu_miner64 --auto --any --forever --variation FORK --low -o POOL:pORT -u WALLET -p PASSWORD --mport MONITOR SSL
And replace:
FORK by the Fork number, see list below, or set 0 for automatic
POOL:pORT by the pool address (name or IP)
port), e.g. pool.minexmr.com:4444
WALLET by the miner wallet
PASSWORD by the miner password
MONITOR by the local HTTP monitor server port
SSL by either nothing, or "--ssl" if SSL is to be used
Getting started
If you're new at mining Cryptonight, here's the simplest way:
Choose the coin to mine, see the list below. The most common is Monero.
Get a wallet, that's a ~95 character long identifier. If you don't have one yet, you can create it here
Choose a pool to mine on, and its port. For example Pool pool.minexmr.com and port 4444
Edit the start.bat that's shipped in the .zip
* Change the example POOL by yours
* Change the example PORT by yours
* Change the example WALLET by yours
* You can leave the default password x
(Optional) If your coin is exotic, maybe you also need to change FORK=0 to another number. See the list in the start.bat
Run start.bat
Basic topics
Q. Is it free (as in beer, as in freedom)?
No and no. It has fees, and is not open source. But the program itself is free to distribute.
Q. How much cost the fees?
Current fees are:
3.0% when using at least one mining thread with non-AES architecture, or 32-bits
1.5% when using only 64-bits AES architecture
0.9% when using GPU
Q. Can I avoid fees?
Not really. I plan to offer a paying per-licence-no-fee (pay-once-for-all) version, but it's a lot more complicated to set up than a fee-based miner.
Also, JCE never takes any fee during the first minute, so if you run it, and kill it after one minute, and repeat again and again, then you'll never pay any fee, but JCE takes a few seconds to start, and your Pool probably won't let your reconnect continuously.
Q. Will it work on my computer?
Minimum is Windows Vista 32-bits, or Linux, with a SSE2 capable CPU. 64-bits is faster, prefer it.
For best performance, Large Pages must be enabled, JCE will try to auto-configure them, but it may work or not depending on your Windows version and security configuration.
Q. What currency can I mine? On which pools?
You can mine any coin on any pool.
If your coin is listed, all is automatic.

Q. Is Nicehash supported?
Yes, see list above. The Nicehash-specific Nonce is then automatically enabled.
Q. Is SSL supported?
Yes, with parameter --ssl
Q. I get only bad shares, what happens?
Your coin has probably forked. Add --variation N parameter, with N as listed below, until you find the one that works.
Q. What if my wallet is not recognized, or as a different coin?
Some coins use a wallet syntax so close that they're hard to differenciate, like Lines and Loki. If JCE fails to detect the coin, force it with --any --variation N (with N as listed below) and let the miner run. It will still display the wrong coin but mine the good one. And of course proof-check pool side that you correctly get the shares.
Q. Is there a HTTP server to monitor the miner?
Modern pools provide all you need to monitor your miners (average hashrate, worker-id...). Monitoring is now a pool's job. Still, a minimal HTTP Json server is available with parameter --mport P (P the port number) to ease integration of JCE into mining tools, but not intended for human reading. Forager was the first tool to integrate JCE, take a look!
For more compatibility, with extra parameter --stakjson, the JSON will be in XMR-Stak format.
Advanced topics
Q. Are there requirements or dependencies?
No. JCE is just a big standalone executable.
Q. Is there a Linux version?
Yes, starting from version 0.29
Q. Is there a GPU version?
Yes, starting from version 0.30
Q. Is there a 32-bits version?
Yes, both 32 and 64 are always in the same release, for both Linux and Windows.
Q. How many threads can I setup?
Maximum is 256 threads on 256 CPUs.
