Things people build with this

USE CASE 1

Run a POG miner on a spare RTX 30-series machine and cap gas spend at a dollar amount

USE CASE 2

Track personal mining stats from the local stats.json counters and confirmed-mine log

USE CASE 3

Generate a deterministic SVG image for each successful mine tied to nonce and address

USE CASE 4

Test the miner on a burner wallet with Alchemy or Infura before pointing it at a main RPC

Needs Linux, an NVIDIA GPU with matching CUDA arch flag, and a funded burner wallet that you must never reuse for real funds.

In plain English

POG GPU Miner is a mining program for a specific Ethereum-based token called POG, also known as the Generation Token. It runs on a Linux machine with an NVIDIA graphics card and looks for a special number, called a nonce, that the POG smart contract on the Ethereum blockchain will accept as a valid mining solution. When a valid number is found, the program submits a transaction to the contract and the wallet receives a reward. The README is straightforward about what the software does step by step. It reads the current challenge from Ethereum, uses the GPU to scan through a large range of nonces, double-checks any candidate in JavaScript before sending it on-chain, and only submits the transaction if the estimated gas cost is below a dollar cap that the user sets. While running, it writes counters to a stats.json file, keeps a personal log of confirmed mines, and saves a small SVG image for each successful mine that is generated deterministically from the nonce and the miner's address. Setup requires Node.js, the CUDA toolkit, and an Ethereum RPC URL from a provider like Alchemy or Infura. The README repeats a clear safety warning: use a burner wallet only, never your main wallet, and never commit the .env file or private keys. There is a table of GPU architecture flags so the user can compile the CUDA program for their specific card, ranging from RTX 20-series through to H100. The config file sets fields for the RPC URL, the burner private key, a maximum fee in dollars, gas settings in gwei, and the size of each GPU search batch. The README also explains the meaning of every counter in stats.json, including submitted, success, failed, and skippedFee.

Copy-paste prompts

Prompt 1
Set up POG-MINING-GPU on Ubuntu with CUDA, Node, and an Alchemy RPC URL using a fresh burner wallet
Prompt 2
Pick the right GPU architecture flag for an RTX 4090 and compile the CUDA kernel from the README table
Prompt 3
Explain every counter in stats.json including submitted, success, failed, and skippedFee
Prompt 4
Set the maxFeeUsd cap and gas gwei settings in .env so the miner skips any mine that would lose money
Prompt 5
Add a small dashboard script that tails stats.json and prints hashrate and accepted mines per minute
