Its not about something what you should garantee, should you? Are you a reseller ? Are you a mechanic service? I aint ask for garantee Bro!

I though you get fee from us and if so ('you should garantee'), than I could b#tching on that lol miner running my cards at 90 celsius degree so you should buy me a new card. Lool lol. No anger here.

I was and still am I polite and nice to ask you to implement a working temp control.

Thanks, I appriciate your work! <3

(Psssh you can just steal it out from dual miner cause he doesnt care about us anymore).

Eg.: if gpuX temp >= Ytemp then stop mining for Z time period then Restart mining. Lolliedieb pleeease implement that sh#t temp control.Its not about something what you should garantee, should you?

The problem there is that GCN1 does not allow full memory for compute, so this cards fail compatibility check even when 4G are there.

I am currently tuning the memory footprint of 0.5 - hopefully I can get below the limits of this cards so they work then.

Hmm - indeed that idea sounds easy to implement. I plan temperature sensor reading for 0.6, so when I got the temps it should be easy to do so. I will give it a try

For a moment I considered to report to mod and delete it, but no, will not do that.

I never claimed of doing an better job then the other miner devs, especially I really respect ewbf, because he did an insanely performant and stable miner for Nvidia GPUs that is a really tough competition (But in fact my 0.5 144/5 implement is hashing 4% faster on my 1080 test sys )

Anyways. If you think this one is not profitable then just do not use it. I think mining something else and then buy the coin you like is also a perfect way to support your favorite coin, because it keeps price up. And that I say as a miner dev - If you do so I earn nothing, but you do the better deal.



But why so bold language here? Without this miner there would be no 144/5 miner for AMD yet, the 192/7 miner would be extremely slow for 4G cards, for Minex the miner would have only 70% of current performance and for AION there would be no new miner next week, so that would be almost (except for Linux Rocm) Nvidia only, too.



So it may be that the miner is not a top profitable option for AMD - but I still think it adds value to the community and thus has a right to exist.



Regarding performance ... I could now try to argue why 580 is slower then 1060 on Equihash (cache controller structure and amount of local memory per shader cluster), but well... Equi was never best on AMD, Nvidia usually take the sols / watts crown here.



But one question: why so hard personal words against me? Did I do something against you? Try to find someone the is more responsive on this thread among the mining software devs... Good luck.

lol miner does not have the function of monitoring the speed of ventilation. Therefore, you would better take up the lowering of the parish of the GPU Clock (to you, visible, the max.) and the quick increase in the influx of the ventilators. To blame in your own problems the developer is a complete idiocy. lol miner does not have the function of monitoring the speed of ventilation.

Thanks for responding!



And terrific news on the v.05 release! Looking forward to that release and many thanks to you for all the hard work! I mentioned your upgrade over at BTCZ.





update: So, I added 2x6gb 1060s to my 4x8gb 580s rig and the lolMiner isn't reading the 1060s. Devices says "Auto" Is there something in my config I need to change? Thank you for responding.

1. if I want 20 MNX per day, what kind of GPU is good and how many cards are needed?

2. What files and settings can I use to get started. if I use NVIDIA 1080 Ti GPU that will run on Windows 10 x64

To get about 20MNX a day. I think what you need is not just few mining rig. But mining farm (a huge lot of mining rigs), and the number of GPUs to setup can not be estimated.

Last edit: September 27, 2018, 01:51:56 PM by Lolliedieb Merited by A-Bolt (1) #299



I have worked for a while now and although there might be still headroom here and there I think it is time to present lolMiner 0.5



For those who can not wait (plz read the manual ^^) here are the download links:



[Lin 64]

[Win 64]



So lets start with the performance first. I did benchmarks as well with 0.43 as 0.5 and ewbf 0.5 on Nvidia. All benchmarks lasted at least an hour to get stable results and let the miner heat up.

Note that for 96/5 I had to correct the 0.43 results down due to defect shares.



Here are the results



AMD RX 580 4G (Sapphire Pulse, stock):

lolMiner 0.43 lolMiner 0.5 Equihash 96/5 12096.7 sol/s 13951.6 sol/s Equihash 144/5 21.2 sol/s 25.1 sol/s Equihash 192/7 12.5 sol/s 15.2 sol/s Equihash 210/9 - 107,5 sol/s

NVidia GTX 1080 FE (stock):

lolMiner 0.43 lolMiner 0.5 ewbf 0.5 Equihash 96/5 17200 sol/s* 19984.1 sol/s 22141.4 sol/s Equihash 144/5 34,4 sol/s 45.5 sol/s 43.7 sol/s Equihash 192/7 19,5 sol7s 23.1 sol/s 19.8 sol/s Equihash 210/9 - 178.4 sol/s 209.0 sol/s

Note: I observed that newer AMD drivers are a little quicker then 2017 ones. Maybe worth a try.

* Corrected value due to invalid shares.



So well  you see some Nvidia algos may be better (I wonder what black magic he used for 96/5 xD) but overall I think improvements are nice compared to 0.43.



So what is new:

- Complete rework of all GPU algorithms for both stability and speed

Note that this also changed the memory footprint of the algorithms. 144/5 is now fitting to 2.2G and thus works on 3G cards when GPU is attached and 192/7 is now close to 3G and should work on any 4G card fine.

210/9 (AION) by the way uses only ~800M.



- Added Equihash 210_9 (Aion)

- Added Coins: AION, ANON and BTH

- Renamed the AUTO144 coin profile to AUTO144_5. Also added AUTO192_7 (see manual where it is possible to use this)

- Changed the command line style.

Before it was -parameter=value and now it is --parameter value

This is more Linux style and will help integrating the miner into mining OS solutions



- Rewrote the complete manual

- Added a function to write the text output to a log (see manual)

- Added support for custom personalization strings for Equihash 144/5 and 192/7 (see manual)

- The disabling of the memory check is no longer required on 3G & 4G Nvidia GPUS (disabled by default)

- Reduced the maximum work batch for 96/5 to 24[/b] because higher values caused crashed some times.

- Changed the standard short / long statistic intervals to 30 seconds and 5 minutes.

- Changed the run_miner scripts not to loop any more (unless you use the _with_restart version), see known issues.



Migration Guide:

Kernels and command line interface have changed, but most config files from 0.43 will continue to work. So if you want to migrate from 0.43 best create a new folder for 0.5, unzip the archives there and then copy over your config file from old to new folder.

Do not forget to update the run_miner scripts with the profiles you like to use!



Know issues:

The new codes have all been stable so far with except for 192/7 on Nvidia. I observed approx a miner close in 4-5 hours for this. For this GPUs I recommend using the _with_restart starting scripts that will restart the miner directly. Hey folks,I have worked for a while now and although there might be still headroom here and there I think it is time to presentFor those who can not wait (plz read the manual ^^) here are the download links:[Lin 64] Click me (0.5 Linux) [Win 64] Click me (0.5 Windows) So lets start with the performance first.
