Cryptocurrency Mining

[2021-01-11]

github.com/Lolliedieb/lolMiner-releases/releases/tag/1.19

Changes (to 1.18a)

• Added automatic tuning mode for --zombie-tune. This is default on, so just run the miner with --4g-alloc-size set only to run the zombie mode automatic tuning. At the end it will report the configuration in case you want to use the configuration again.
  You can also exclude cards from tuning or set their value manually, e.g. --zombie-tune 2,auto,0,auto will run the automatic tuning on the 2nd and 4th GPU while using fixed number 2 for first card and 0 for the 3rd one.
  The tuning will need about 30 seconds per card in the rig to show first results. The next two phases take about 1 minute per card and followed by a approximately 1.5 minutes fine tune phase.

• Ethash stratum connection will now reconnect after three pool rejected shares in a row that did pass own CPU verify before. This solves issues with unstable proxy forwarding e.g. in some ZIL pools. Also helps to get quicker to a failover pool if configured.

Fixed bugs

• Miner did not start up when "DEVICES" was configured in as a vector in json file, e.g. in some ETHOS configurations. #110

github.com/trexminer/T-Rex/releases/tag/0.19.7

• (ethash, octopus, kawpow) Improve stability for 30xx series GPUs
• (ethash) Verify overclock stability after DAG rebuild (Instability detected message is printed in case there are issues)
• Add --gpu-report-interval-s parameter to control hashrate summary report frequency based on the number of share submissions
• (API) Add new pause command for control handler to pause and resume mining
• (Watchdog) Display a list of GPUs caused miner restart with GPU is idle error

Bug fixes:

• (x21s) incorrect size of extranonce2 error
• (UI) Incorrect GPU index in share submission report when --pci-indexing mode is enabled
• (API) Miner fails to switch algorithms on the fly for some "<algo_from> -> <algo_to>" combinations

[2021-01-08]

github.com/develsoftware/GMinerRelease/releases/tag/2.41

• changed default --dag_mode values for polular AMD GPUs (will improve performance compared with previous version when no --dag_mode specified)
• display valid/stale/invalid shares for Ethash/Etchash and KAWPOW algorithms when solution check on CPU enabled ("stale_shares", "invalid_shares" in API response)
• display warning when AMD compute mode is disabled

[2021-01-07]

Changes (Over 1.17)

• Improved linux zombie mode power draw & speed Polaris GPUs (R9 380, RX Fury, RX 4x0 and RX 5x0). Depending on configuration, the zombie mode now uses 0.5 to 1W less energy and is 0.2 to 0.4 mh/s faster.
• Added --zombie-tune parameter for Polaris GPUs. This will increase the performance of zombie mode (further up on the general improvement) by an other 5-15%, depending on parameter and epoch (later epochs profit more). Default value is 0 (off), for most cards the value of 2 is optimal. If you see cards getting slower then before, set to 0 or 1. Note: you either can give one value for the whole rig or provide a comma separated list for each card individually. Cards not running zombie mode ignore the parameter.
• The parameter --4g-alloc-size can now also be set for each card individually
• Slight rework of Beam Hash III back end. Improves poolside hash rate by approx 0.2 to 0.3% - displayed hashrate and power consume kept equal.
• Added a 4G_Ethash_Linux_Readme.txt file to the Linux release, giving guidance how to configure for ideal zombie mode performance.

Bug fixes

• Fixed: segmentation fault when the dns resolve of a pool fails #109
• Fixed: miner does not restart after connection loss. #108
• Applied potential fix for "address or port already in use" bug.

Bug fixes (1.18a)

• Miner not mining ETC correctly
• Reverted some internal parameters that might cause instability of 1.18

Compatibility note:

The new zombie-tune parameter has only been tested with amdgpu-pro 20.30 and 20.40. Other drivers might cause issues.
Also make sure your mining rig is configured to use PCIe-gen 2 connection to your GPUs.

Example effect of --zombie-tune parameter on the hash rate in Zombie Mode

Note: it may be needed to tune each card individually. Tune value of 2 works for most cards, but some do not like the mode, especially when on PCIe-gen1 riser.

NiceHash OS 1.2.7 is available to download!

To download NiceHash OS, please log in to your NiceHash profile or register here.

This update brings the following changes:

• Updated time synchronization on system boot
• Updated network initialization procedure on system boot
• Updated documentation on how to configure preferred mining location (NiceHash OS mining location configuration)
• Added documentation on how to disable automatic system updates (NiceHash OS update configuration)

Updates for NHOS are downloaded and installed on your rigs automatically.

github.com/nicehash/NiceHashMiner/releases/tag/3.0.5.6

• Changes from 3.0.5.5:

  • Disable NiceHash Miner auto updates by default
  • Change manual update procedure
  • Remove Windows Defender Exclusion helper program
  • Remove FirewallRules.exe helper program
  • Remove GMiner miner plugin from the preinstalled miner plugins

• Preinstalled miner plugins:

  • Excavator
  • LolMiner
  • NBMiner
  • Phoenix
  • XMRig

This version is intended for experienced miners. Components of NHM may get flagged by anti-virus software (see here). Users should be comfortable managing AV/Firewall exceptions.

Important guidelines for using NHM:

1. NiceHash Miner is usually flagged by AV (anti-virus) software. This is normal, as almost every mining software on the market is blacklisted by AV. Just make an exception in your AV software to enable the proper operation of NHML.

2. You may have to add an exception in your browser to enable NHM download. Learn how OR download password protected zip archive link.

3. We cannot guarantee for every 3rd party miner code thus you agree to use it at your own risk.

4. We suggest you don’t use cryptocurrency wallets or have any access to any cryptocurrency, sensitive or important data on the same computer where you use NHM. NiceHash will never ask or use your private keys, but we cannot guarantee the same for the 3rd party miners included in NHM now or any time in the future.

5. Add an exception to Windows Defender for the NiceHash Miner folder (after you unzip the package).

Check out the Wiki for instructions on getting started, upgrading, troubleshooting, and more.

If benchmarking fails, try running in "Precise" or manually benchmarking

If autodownload fails, download the miner bins manually and unzip them to the miner plugin bins path. Miner binary package sources are in nhm\miner_plugins\XPlugin\internals\MinersBinsUrlsSettings.json for XPlugin.

github.com/xmrig/xmrig/releases/tag/v6.7.0

Highlights:

1. NAVI KERNEL REWRITE! Over the last month we've been working on new kernels. The first one released is for Navi. The main feature is lower power consumption, hashrate will remain about the same but depends somewhat on clocks. NOTE: please let the miner retune any existing --eth_config arguments for all Navi gpus, the new values will be significantly lower.

2. Claymore API now supported, meaning you can use EthMan to monitor TRM rigs.

This release supports a range of algorithms optimized for AMD GCN GPUs (ethash, kawpow, nimiq, lyra2z, phi2, lyra2rev3, x16r, x16rv2, x16s, x16rt, MTP, cuckarood29, cuckatoo31, chukwa-512, cryptonight R, cryptonight v8 and a lot of other cryptonight variants).

github.com/NebuTech/NBMiner/releases/tag/v35.2

Update : 2020-12-19

Changes in version 5.4c (since 5.3b):

• Added support for DAG epochs up to 500
• New kernels for AMD Vega and Navi GPUs that are slightly faster when the DAG buffer is approaching or passing 4GB in size (the current ETH DAG is close to 4GB). To use these new kernels, you need to use drivers 20.5.1 or later under Win10, or 20.10.x or later under Linux
• Fixed crash (or GPUs not detected error) when using the latest Windows Nvidia drivers 460.79 and 460.89
• Validated support for Nvidia RTX 3090, 3080, 3070, and 3060Ti GPUs. Those still use the current kernels and there are no speed increases fom the previous PhoenixMiner release
• Automatic re-running auto-tune as needed when switching to a different DAG buffer type (e.g. when switching from ETH to ETC, or back)
• Fixed crash when trying to set -mvddc on very old AMD drivers (including the beta blockchain drivers from 2017)
• Added support for the latest AMD Windows 10 drivers 20.12.1 and 20.11.3
• Add support for the older AMD Linux driver 19.50-1011208-ubuntu-18.04 (used by some Linux mining OSes and other software)
• Added new kernels to allow mining on AMD Hawaii cards (R9 390, etc.) with the current and future DAG epochs (even with DAG buffer above 4GB for the 8GB cards). Note that the AMD Windows drivers do not support compute mode for Hawaii cards, so the hashrate will be quite low (14-15 MH/s with the current ETH DAG epoch). This problem is fixed under Linux, where you can get the full 29-30 MH/s speed out of the Hawaii cards.
• Other small fixes and improvements
