  5
  • lolminer-v1.36 (Improved Ethash & Etchash performance on all Nvidia Turing & Ampere GPUs by 0.3 to 0.7%. Decreased rate of stales on Nvidia Turing & Ampere GPUs. Modified LHR auto tuning to use finer steps (0.2 instead of 1). Also when the miner is more then 2 hours stable on its current settings and a lock appears, the card will unlock again, but the tuning will not be reduced. New parameter --lhrwait n will set the miner to wait n seconds, until the LHR detection and calibration gets active. Allows to wait for systems with delayed memory overclock settings). Fixed potential crash between switching between cached Eth and Zil dag on Nvidia. Fixed bug: Worker name got lost on ezil.me mining pool (since 1.34). Fixed bug causing rare defect shares on LHR cards)

  • t-rex-v0.24.6 (Ethash improved LHR unlocker, LHR tune value increased from 71 to 74 by default. The new LHR tune scale is somewhat different, so it's recommended to let autotune find the optimal parameters. (ethash, autolykos2) New --lhr-autotune-step-size and --lhr-autotune-interval parameters for finer control of LHR unlock behaviour. (ethash, firopow) Add ETH+FIRO dual mining (use the same OC settings as ETH+RVN) (autolykos2) New --dataset-mode parameter to enable/disable double buffer mode: 1 - single buffer mode, 2 - double buffer mode (default). New --temperature-color-mem parameter to control memory temperature highlighting in console. Fixed ethash RTX 3060 GA104 issue not recognised as an LHR card. Fixed Veriblock mining broken since 0.24.2)
• 93

  9
  • ADDED MINER teamblackminer-v1.24 for Ethash (Ethereum/Zilliqa), Etchash (Ethereum Classic), Lyra2REv2 (Vertcoin) mining on AMD and NVIDIA. Required one of latest SimpleMining images with newest NVIDIA driver for NVIDIA mining. WARNING: We do not recommend this miner due to fake hashrate. API support with GPU stats in dashboard will be added in next week. For now please use reading REAL statistics data on pool side)

11/10/2021Miners update

  • gminer-v2.71 (Improved LHR performance, added two modes --lhr_mode: 0 - energy save mode, 1 - maximal performance mode (default). Miner display LHR unlock percentage in statistics table (LHR row), you can adjust it by --lhr_tune option. Now --lhr_tune meaning GPU unlock percentage, for compatibility lhr tunes below 10 mapped to new default values. If LHR auto-tune (--lhr_autotune) enabled miner tries increase LHR unlock percentage while mining. Improved RavenCoin performance, fixed floating hashrate. Display maximum difficulty of shares for each GPU)

• 136

  8
  • lolminer-v1.35 (Ergo: Adjusted all codes mining Autolykos v2 to be ready for the epoch 1 and higher, starting Sunday Nov 7th ~8 am UTC. Ergo: Added ability for all AMD cards to pre-build the next Ergo data set while mining. This is at a cost of slightly slower mining directly after a height change, but generally improves poolside performance. In case you find it unstable the pre-building can be deactivated by using parameter --ergo-prebuild -1 / 0 / 1. Here -1 stands for the cards default, 0 is off, 1 is on. Default is on for all AMD GPUs except GCN1 and Vega generations - those were more stable with the option turned off. The value can be set per card by using a comma separated list of values.
  • Ergo: Improved performance of AMD Hawaii generation of chips by about 2%.
  • Ethash: Added error correcting tables to check the DAG integrity up to epoch 499 (Early June 2022)
  • Ethash: Added option to use the version 1.33 semi-unlocker style - this was more performant for some GDDR6X cards. Use --lhrtune xauto to activate the 1.33 solver style auto tuning and use --lhrtune x to set a predetermined tune value. The 1.33 style solver can be mixed with 1.34+ style solvers by using a comma separated list of values.
  • Ethash: Fixed a bug some crashed Nvidia cards did not trigger the watchdog
  • Ethash: Fixed a bug causing the worker name not to be correctly passed to the pool in some cases in 1.34(a)
  • (1) The new Ergo epochs will increase the size of the data set used for mining by 5% every ~75 days. Some cards might need a bit more core clock to achieve the used performance. Also 2G cards in zombie mode will see a significant reduction in speed, because the data set is more then 2150 MBytes in size now)
• 117

  7
  • teamredminer-v0.8.6.3 (Autolykos2: emergency release to support larger pad size from block 614400. Some GPUs (mainly Vegas) will need higher core clocks to achieve the same performance as previous versions due to larger pads breaking some previous optimizations. More optimizations to come in future releases.
  • Autolykos2: added argument --autolykos_ignore_diff for certain pools that aren't compatible with the ERGO reference miner pool implementation.
  • Progpow: fixed wrong --help text for --prog_micro_tune)

  • nbminer-nebutech-v39.6 (Ethash LHR mode significant improvement: higher hashrate, more stable LHR unlocking for both -lhr-mode 1 and 2. Default LHR mode changes to -lhr-mode 1 for LHR GPUs. Default values of LHR mode increased, -lhr-mode 1 -> 74, -lhr-mode 2 -> 71. Added options for LHR auto-tuning control: -lhr-reduce-value, -lhr-reduce-time, -lhr-reduce-limit. Ergo also adapts the 3 new LHR options. Add -cmd-output option. Disable SNI extension for ssl connections by default, can be enabled with -enable-sni. Deleted cuckatoo, cuckatoo32 support)

• 127

  12
  • t-rex-v0.24.5 (autolykos2 Increase pool-side hashrate by 1-4%. Miner now generates the dataset for the next ERGO block before it arrives with a small penalty to reported hashrate, and when the next block does arrive, it immediately starts hashing without losing 1-4 seconds on creating the dataset. Memory requirements are doubled in this mode as the GPU has to hold two memory buffers. If not enough memory on GPU for two datasets, miner fall back running single buffer mode. Kawpow, Firopow report hashrate to the mining pool. Add --devices-info parameter to list available CUDA devices
  • Bug fixes: ethash, autolykos2 LHR lock detection is triggered by short-term hashrate drops, e.g. when turning on the monitor connected to the GPU)

• 165

  6
  • lolminer-v1.34 (Rework of LHR semi-unlocker. Improved performance of RTX 3060 and 3060 Ti by up to 2%, allowing less core clock. Auto tuning now quicker to reasonable hashrates. Improved stability on found parameters. Found parameters that are hard coded with --lhrtune are now applied within 30 seconds after dag build. --lhrtune now understands the parameter "off" to disable any kind of LHR handling - useful for cards that sometimes trigger the lhr detection although they are non-LHR. Improved compatibility with many current drivers. Recommend 470.74 LHR v2 cards. 460.x drivers might perform up to 0.5% worse. For 3060 LHR V1 use either 460.39 driver. --workmulti now has effect on Nvidia GPUs on Ethash. Default value is 192, lower values will improve stale count, higher values will reduce CPU load. Added support of RTX A6000/A5000/A4000/A2000 Nvidia workstation GPUs. Reduced RAM usage of Nvidia Ethash solver (some 10+ card rigs got issues with 1.33 when they only had 4G RAM). --statsformat now understands the string "lhrinfo" to print the --lhrtune parameter and the lock count in custom set up statistics. Fixed bug with --tstop or a lost stratum connection triggering a LHR GPU to lock. Fixed bug RTX 3070Ti only triggered the lock detector on rather low memory clock. Fixed bug invalid shares in Pitcairn Ergo Zombie mode. Improved stability Ethash stratum and statistics module. Some problems have been reported in ETH in certain 3070Ti, that will be fixed with 1.35. Those miners, please better stay on 1.33 for max perfomance)

  • teamredminer-v0.8.6.2 (Firopow/MTP: added a synthetic algo mtp_firopow that will use the correct algo given the system time and shut down the miner at the time of the Firo fork on Oct 26. Ethash/progpow: split the ethash and progpow algos into separate binaries, mainly for some Vegas that ran into stability issues going from 0.8.5 to 0.8.6. Autolykos2: added support for Tonga. Advanced SSL usage: changed the default SSL behavior to not provide a SNI hostname during handshake. This simplifies running tunnels against TLS/SSL ports on public pools)

10/17/2021Miners update

• 126

  11
  • phoenixminer-v5.8b-beta (Beta release. Implemented optimized kernels for AMD RX6600XT. Added support for the latest AMD drivers 21.30. The latest AMD drivers (21.30 and later for Linux) dropped support for the older kernels, so we changed the kernels for AMD Polaris cards to support these new drivers. There is a very small speed improvement (less than 0.1% on average) with the new kernels and the new drivers on Polaris cards. Note that Radeon VII cards will not work with drivers 21.20 or higher - you need to use older drivers for proper operation of these cards. Note that AMD Vega cards will not work with drivers 21.20 or higher. Other fixes and small improvements)
• 93

  5
  • srbminer-multi-v0.8.1 (Added algos firopow, kawpow, progpow_sero, progpow_veil, progpow_zano, progpow_veriblock, progpow_epic. Small improvements on autolykos2 for RX550 & RX560. Added parameter --gpu-progpow-mode (which progpow program to use), added --gpu-progpow-preload (how many periods to pre-create). Fixed compatibility with p2p-spb.xyz P2P pools. Fixed 'Internet not found' issue on some cases. Changed default value for --max-no-submit-responses from 0 to 5. Renamed --disable-gpu-watchdog to --disable-worker-watchdog. Minor bug fixes. Progpow algos are using single DAG allocation (no split DAG), so you need a driver that allows allocation of large buffers. Dual mine EpicCash Progpow with any other algorithm (ETHASH, ETCHASH, AUTOLYKOS2 ...) Param --gpu-progpow-mode is auto selected, but you can test manually, maybe you find a mode that works better for your GPU)
