If you don’t want to search here and there for the most profitable coin to mine with GTX 1080 Ti then Sniffdog multipool miner is here for your rescue.This automatic algo switching, multipool miner will mine the coin which is most profitable right now.In this post you will know why and why not to use sniffdogminer and how to configure it.This Windows Miner is designed specially for Nvidia GTX 1080 ti but this miner will not work on Linux based operating systems.
Have an Nvidia Card other than 1080 ti then you can use Nemosminer in place of sniffdogminer. If you are facing problem while using it, then do let me know I would try to create a how to mine guide for nemosminer very soon. So do keep in touch. Download Nemosminer.
What is sniffdogminer ?
Sniffdog is an auto algo switching multipool Windows miner designed for Nvidia GTX 1080 Ti.
Sniffog miner monitors pools in real time and finds the most profitable algo/coin to mine.Once it finds a profitable algo or pool, it automatically starts mining that pool/coin. It automatically benchmarks algos to provide optimal speed and new versions of miners are downloaded automatically. Isn’t it great.
All you need to do is just start the sniffdogminer. Miner will automatically switch between algo and pool to provide you the maximum profit for mining.
These are the pool supported by sniffdogminer. – zpool , MiningPoolHub, HashRefinery, ahashpool.
Why to Use sniffdogminer? : Pros
- You will save time. No need to visit profitability calculator website frequently, miner will automctically mine most profitable algo.
- Miner is fully automatic, no human invervention needed. Miner will automaically switch between algo and pools.
- You will be automatically mining most profitable algo, hence making more money.
- Mined coins automatically exchanged for BTC.
Why not to Use sniffdogminer? : Cons
- sniffdogminer does not support all available pools and coins. It is possible that most profitable coin/algo to mine right now might not be available on any sniffdog supported pool. Hence you might not be mining most profitable coin everytime.
- You will be loosing hashrate as miner switches between pools and algo frequently and during those transistion periods you won’t be mining anything.
- Optimal overclock setting will not work. We know overclock setting is different for each card and algo. So we have to set minimum overclock settings which would work on each algo otherwise sniffdogminer will crash when mining new algo.
Who Should Use sniffdogminer
I have an article here which will let you know about the most profitable coin to mine right now with Nvidia GTX 1080 ti. I am updating that article on regular basis.
If you own 1080 ti and are mining with it then always check my article for most profitable algo right now. May be that coin is not present in sniffdogminer. sniffdogminer does not support hard-core overclock settings so you won’t be mining each algo efficiently.
Use sniffdogminer if you are lazy enough to not visit my article daily.
Use sniffdogminer if you are new to mining and don’t know how to configure each pool/algo.
You want your mining rewards auto exchanged to bitcoin, no pool/algo configuration, use sniffdogminer.
How to Setup sniffdogminer? : Guide
1. Download
sniffdog miner
2. Visit miningpoolhub.com ,multipool and create new account, also create new worker .
3. Before procedding further you must have bitcoin wallet address, if not create new one here
4. Extract zip file and open StartSniff.bat file ( Right click>>edit)
5. Change bitcoin address with your bitcoin address, change worker name and password. For more reference check below picture.
6. Save the StartSniff.bat file and run it.

Important Points about Sniffdogminer :
- Miner will work only on Windows Operating Sytem.
- Windows Powershell 5.0 is required by the miner so if it is not available on your PC then download and install Windows Powershell 5.0
- Sniffdog miner work best for nvdia 1080 ti cards . For other nvidia cards use nemosminer

Herberson Gonçalves says
Hi.
I set it up, but I’m not sure if it’s working properly. It is mining, but when I get the payments, is it per day, per week, depends on each pool? Thank you. Excellent tutorial.
ANUJ SAINI says
yes depends on each pool.
wait for 1-2 days for payments.
sniffdog miner maximum time use MPH. So you can also see unconfirmed balance directly logging in to the pool
Herberson Gonçalves says
I’m more comfortable knowing. Are you mining with that? Q. I have my doubts if it is so profitable. It exchanges pool and algorithm directly, this time of the exchange ends up without mining, as well as the pools, it will take a lot of time to have a value to draw in each pool, I have only two GTX 1070. Thanks for the answer.
Herberson Gonçalves says
I will mine 5 days and get better conclusions
ANUJ SAINI says
Sniffdogminer is specially designed for 1080 ti, you may try nemosminer with GTX 1070.
I am mining with 7 x GTX 1080 Ti.
Currently mining zcoin, i don’t use sniffdog miner.
With GTX 1070 you may try mining BTCZ https://jkcrypto.com/how-to-mine-btcz-bitcoinz/.
Wait for 1 November for Bitcoin Gold mining https://jkcrypto.com/how-to-mine-bitcoin-gold-btg/
Herberson Gonçalves says
I configured it by jaxx wallet. OK?
ANUJ SAINI says
yes.
No problem with jaxx, earlier used it when I was mining zcash.
Herberson Gonçalves says
Thank you.
Dustin McFadden says
So it seems like the guide is extremely unhelpful to me, the Sniffdog.bat file doesn’t seem to match at all with the example.
ANUJ SAINI says
Rechecked it, sniffog developed have made some changes to the software but it is almost similar to example provided only some new algos and pool added.
Make changes in sniffdog.bat as I shown in image above.
If sniffdog.bat is not matching at all then you must be doing something wrong. Download miner from link provided. Intially for the very first time miner takes time around 10-15 minutes to start, during that time sniffdog download the miners needed.
Dustin McFadden says
I got everything from the links you provided and searching for keywords within Sniffdog.bat specifically for what I need to edit end up showing as no results.
ANUJ SAINI says
I might make video tutorial in future so it will be easy for all.
As for now you can mine zcoin, $6/1080 Ti
Dustin McFadden says
I’d be interested.
bitelmo says
I followed the tutorial but when I start startsniffin.bat I get:
(…)
transcript started, output file is (…)
no pools!
I changed nothing in the pools or the algo’s. Any ideas what I’m doing wrong?
ANUJ SAINI says
Sorry, forget to mention in the post.
During first time lauch miner takes 10-15 minutes to start, during that time miner download the required files.
bitelmo says
well, I tried to keep it running for a couple of hours, no change 🙁
Any other things I can try?
(FYI: I knew my way around in msDOS, everything after win95 becomes sketchy… I’m learning as I go along)
Speed Boxes says
Very interesting guide. Could you please guide me on what I am setting up wrong? Upon loading the script I get this in poweshell:
json decode failed(1) ‘ ‘ or ‘ ‘ expected near ‘content’
json decode failed(1) ‘ ‘ or ‘ ‘ expected near ‘http’
I think I need to specify the pool address in startsniffin.bat?
Thanks a lot!
ANUJ SAINI says
I don’t use sniffdog miner regularly as most profitable coin to mine right now is not available at sniffdog or whattomine. Check jkcrypto gtx 1080 ti mining post.
I have tested sniffdog on my rig no problem for me.
Make sure powershell is installed on your system and if antivirus is installed it might be blocking ports.
You don’t need to specify pool address in sniffdog.bat, it is automatically done by miner.
I don’t know about this error better to contact original developer on github
Speed Boxes says
Thx, I might try another software, wich one do you recommend if I want to switch between differents coins to mine, maybe multiminer?
ANUJ SAINI says
This is the best one.Choose best coin manually as I do
Speed Boxes says
Thanks again!
Kuji S says
Is Nemosminer better than nicehash?
ANUJ SAINI says
If you have 1080 ti then you can try sniffdog miner.
Never used nicehash and nemosminer
Kuji S says
I mine with GTX 1080. Which platform do you recommend?
ANUJ SAINI says
You can try nemosminer.
My recommendation will be to choose best minable coin manually
Ross P. Goldberg says
Is there a linux equivalent to sniffdogminer? I am using that for my 2-gpu rig, but wanted to build a 6 – 8 gpu rig dedicated to mining on linux.
ANUJ SAINI says
Don’t know any linux equivalent.
Linux is not good mining as some great miners are only for Windows OS.
I don’t use sniffdog miner either as some mining gems are not present at sniffdog.
Currently best coin to mine with 1080 ti are ORE,STAK,GOA.
Ross P. Goldberg says
Thank you, Anuj.
Bojan Alilovic says
Thanks for all the information, I noticed that there is a new multiminer released which is called Hashsynminer. Is there any chance you can review Hashsynminer as well?
ANUJ SAINI says
Very busy now days… crypto trading all day.Just checked Hashsynmier, forked from sniffdog and it is Rig splitter and Multi address software program, not profitable for small miners. Might not review this
Bojan Alilovic says
Thanks for replying, so you still recommend sniffdog miner for GTX 1080 ti GPU?
ANUJ SAINI says
Best option is to choose coin manually but if you don’t have that much time then use sniffdog miner
Bojan Alilovic says
I’ve started my mining last night with sniffdog miner and after the becnhmarking was done it startet to mine on equihash algo (Zclassic) but what I noticed today is that my balance sheet in MPH is empty. Is there anything that is setup wrongly in the sniffdog bat? I have autoexchange on to LTC on everything, also configured my exodus LTC mining wallet address and put the same in the sniffdog bat file.
this is how the edited bat looks like:
powershell -version 5.0 -noexit -executionpolicy bypass -windowstyle maximized -command “&.SniffDog.ps1 -Username rig1 -Workername DBminer -RigName rig1 -Currency EUR -Passwordcurrency LTC -interval 90 -Delay 1 -Wallet LUHS2KfP9YxqD1YRvR9JFnmhQEeBG1rjgX -Location europe -PoolName zpool,Hashrefinery,MPH,ahashpool -Type nvidia,cpu -Algorithm Skein,Equihash,Groestl,MyriadGroestl,Lyra2RE2,neoscrypt,lyra2z,ethash,Cryptonight -Donate 0
Please help!
Thanks
//Bojan
ANUJ SAINI says
You are mining on all thiese pools zpool,Hashrefinery,MPH,ahashpool.
Other pools don’t have login option like MPH. So wait for more time to see your LTC, at least 24 hours.
I don’t use sniffdog so don’t have much experience.
DmX says
Do you think, is possible to modify sniffdogg to get paid in coin mined ?
i’m going to search inside PS scripts.
ANUJ SAINI says
Not possible because miner don’t know out wallet address of specif coins.
At miningpoolhub we can disable auto exchange feature for each coins.
I don’t use sniffdog, so know much about it
SF says
looking forward to reading your guide on nemosminer 😉
zogo755 says
Hi all, what kind of performance are you getting with SniffdogMiner and 1080 TI, are they close to the benchmaked estimates you get within the miner ? I made a try yesterday on one 1080 TI and I got about $5/day while benchmark was showing $8 or more all day long for the best Crypto.
Also what time interval setting and pool selection is good according to you experience ?
TIA
ANUJ SAINI says
I don’t use Sniffdog miner.l manually choose coin to mine.
Mine LUX now, 26-Jan which will provide stable profit of $8/day/1080 ti
zogo755 says
Yes I’m trying that, changing Sniffdog setting to Mine Lux only and using zpool hashrefinery and ahashpool. Will tell you what I get, it will be interesting to compare with people using other miner and pool for LUX
Simon Cleopater says
half the algorithms do not work for me and looking up error messages on github shows the dev shrugging these off as zpool being down while this is not actually the case. kind of makes me believe that he knows there are issues and would rather close issues as unresolved to avoid unwanted scrutiny.
