SKN Miner CRB

Stratum Proxy — for labs & offices without direct internet

Got a room full of PCs on a LAN where only one server has internet (school computer labs, offices, etc.)? This is SKN's own Stratum proxy for CRB, matching the VRSC Stratum Proxy's design: your CRB address and a worker/school label are configured once, at the proxy — every lab PC then only needs the proxy's LAN IP and port, nothing else. Whatever identity a lab PC's own miner claims (if any) is ignored and credited under your proxy's configured address instead. Includes a disclosed 1% SKN development fee, same convention as the VRSC proxy.

Two pieces: edit your address/worker into the Stratum Proxy's launcher and run it once, on the one server with internet — it listens on port 3333. Then put CRB Lab Miner on every lab PC, pointed at the gateway's LAN IP — no CRB address, no config, and no internet needed on those PCs at all. Lab Miner is not just a raw .exe — it's our own portable NeuroMorph miner bundled with a launcher script that supplies the required command-line arguments for you (double-clicking the raw miner alone will just flash a window and close, since it needs `-o` to run).

Lab Miner runs on any x86-64 CPU, no AVX2 or other special hardware needed — uses the exact same NeuroMorph hashing code the pool/node use (differential-tested byte-identical to upstream before release), just without the hardware-acceleration tricks that make some other miners faster but require newer CPUs. Slower per PC than those, but it'll run on machines they can't.

Both tools have colored console output by default (xmrig-style: green=accepted, red=rejected), and the proxy automatically quiets down repeated reconnects from the same PC instead of spamming the console, plus lists every connected lab PC every 60 seconds. Prefer absolutely no visible window, not even a brief flash? Both include a ready-made -hidden.vbs launcher — see each README for the trade-offs.

Direct Miner — one PC, your own address, no proxy at all

Don't need a lab-wide gateway? This is the same skn-crb-engine that powers the desktop app and Android APK, packaged as a plain command-line tool for people who just want mining running quietly on one PC without the full GUI app. Connects straight to the pool over HTTPS — no CRB Stratum Proxy, no LAN gateway, just your own crb1... address and real internet access on this PC.

Direct Miner v1.0.0 · 9.2 MB · includes Windows & Linux binaries · setup guide in the README

Not just a raw .exe — comes with a launcher script that supplies the required command-line arguments for you (double-clicking the raw engine alone will just print a usage message and exit, since it needs -node/-addr to run). Prefer absolutely no visible window, not even a brief flash? Includes a ready-made -hidden.vbs launcher, same trade-off as the Stratum Proxy/Lab Miner above — see the README.
