Getting Started

Welcome to WalletMinerPRO

WalletMinerPRO is the most advanced cryptographic search engine built for recovering dormant Bitcoin wallets. This documentation will guide you through installation, configuration, and advanced tuning to maximize your hunt.

All computation happens locally on your machine. Your private keys and discovery data never leave your computer. The software operates offline after initial license activation.

System Requirements

Minimum

  • • Windows 10 (64-bit) or later
  • • Intel Core i5 / AMD Ryzen 5
  • • 8 GB RAM
  • • 2 GB free disk space
  • • Any CUDA/OpenCL compatible GPU

Recommended

  • • Windows 11 (64-bit)
  • • Intel Core i7 / AMD Ryzen 7+
  • • 16 GB RAM
  • • 10 GB free disk space (SSD)
  • • NVIDIA RTX 3060 or better
GPU acceleration is highly recommended for meaningful scan speeds. CPU-only scanning operates at roughly 1/100th the speed of a modern GPU.

    Right-click the installer and select "Run as Administrator". Follow the setup wizard. The default installation path is:

    C:\Program Files\WalletMinerPRO\
  3. 3

    Install GPU Drivers

    Ensure you have the latest GPU drivers installed:

    NVIDIA CUDA Toolkit AMD OpenCL Runtime

License Activation

WalletMinerPRO requires a valid license key to operate. Your key was delivered via email after purchase in the format XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX.

Activation Steps

  1. Launch WalletMinerPRO
  2. The activation dialog will appear on first run
  3. Enter your license key exactly as provided (dashes included)
  4. Click Activate — this requires a one-time internet connection
  5. The software validates the key and activates offline capability
# Alternative: Activate via command line
wmp-cli.exe --activate XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX

Dashboard Overview

The Dashboard is your command center. It provides real-time visibility into your system's performance and the scanning engine's progress.

Performance Metrics

  • • GPU Load — Current GPU utilization %
  • • CPU Load — Current CPU utilization %
  • • RAM — Working set memory usage
  • • Temp — GPU temperature monitoring

Scan Statistics

  • • Addr/sec — Addresses generated per second
  • • Total — Lifetime addresses scanned
  • • Uptime — Current session duration
  • • Hits — Bloom filter matches found

Configuration

WalletMinerPRO is designed to work out of the box, but fine-tuning your configuration can significantly improve performance based on your hardware.

Engine Settings

GPU Threads
Number of parallel GPU threads (default: Auto)
--gpu-threads [N]
CPU Threads
Number of CPU worker threads (default: Physical cores - 2)
--cpu-threads [N]
Priority
Process priority: low, normal, high
--priority [level]
Auto-Start on Boot
Start scanning automatically when the app launches
--autostart

Address Formats

WalletMinerPRO supports all major Bitcoin address formats. You can enable or disable specific formats to focus your scan.

Type Prefix Format Status
Legacy (P2PKH) 1... Base58Check Supported
Nested SegWit (P2SH) 3... Base58Check Supported
Native SegWit (Bech32) bc1q... Bech32 Supported
Taproot (P2TR) bc1p... Bech32m New in v4.2

Managing Discoveries

When a Bloom filter match is verified against the blockchain, it is automatically saved to your local discoveries database.

Default Storage Location

%APPDATA%\WalletMinerPRO\discoveries\

Export Formats

JSON
Full structured data with all metadata
--export json
CSV
Spreadsheet-compatible flat export
--export csv
Encrypted Backup
AES-256 encrypted archive of all discoveries
--export encrypted
Security Warning: Discovery files contain private keys. Never share these files, store them in cloud drives, or transmit them over unencrypted channels. Always use the encrypted export option for backups.

GPU Tuning

Optimizing your GPU settings can drastically improve scan speeds. Below are tested configurations for popular hardware.

1.2M
RTX 3060 addr/sec
1.8M
RTX 3080 addr/sec
2.4M
RTX 4090 addr/sec

Optimal Settings (NVIDIA)

# Power limit to reduce temperature without significant performance loss
nvidia-smi -pl 280

# WalletMinerPRO recommended flags
wmp-cli.exe --gpu-threads 256 --gpu-clock-offset -200 --mem-clock-offset +500

CLI Usage

WalletMinerPRO includes a full-featured command-line interface for headless operation and scripting.

# Start scanning with default settings
wmp-cli.exe --start

# Scan specific address types only
wmp-cli.exe --start --formats bech32,p2sh

# Run in background (minimize to tray)
wmp-cli.exe --start --background

# Check status
wmp-cli.exe --status

# Stop scanning gracefully
wmp-cli.exe --stop

All CLI Flags

--startBegin scanning
--stopGracefully stop scanning
--statusShow current scan status
--activate [KEY]Activate license key
--gpu-threads [N]Set GPU thread count
--cpu-threads [N]Set CPU thread count
--formats [TYPES]Comma-separated address types
--export [FORMAT]Export discoveries
--backgroundRun in system tray
--autostartAuto-start on launch
--priority [LEVEL]Set process priority
--updateCheck for Bloom filter updates
--versionDisplay version info

Troubleshooting

GPU Not Detected
  1. Ensure your GPU drivers are up to date (NVIDIA ≥ 535, AMD ≥ 23.12)
  2. Verify CUDA/OpenCL is installed: run nvidia-smi in terminal
  3. Check Windows Device Manager for driver errors
  4. Restart WalletMinerPRO after driver updates
  5. If using multiple GPUs, specify the device: --gpu-device 0
High GPU Temperature

WalletMinerPRO pushes GPU utilization to maximum. If temperatures exceed 85°C:

  • Reduce GPU threads: --gpu-threads 128
  • Set a power limit: nvidia-smi -pl 250
  • Improve case airflow or reduce ambient temperature
  • Use the built-in thermal throttle: --thermal-limit 80
Slow Scan Speeds

If address generation rates are below expected values:

  • Close other GPU-intensive applications (games, video editors)
  • Ensure the Bloom filter database is loaded (check Dashboard)
  • Verify you're not running on integrated graphics
  • Try increasing GPU threads to 512 or higher
  • Check for Windows background processes consuming resources
License Activation Fails
  1. Verify your license key is entered correctly with dashes
  2. Ensure you have an active internet connection for first-time activation
  3. Check if your license has already been activated on another machine (1 license = 1 machine)
  4. Contact support if you need to transfer your license to a new device
