Default ethstratum changed from ETHV1 to ETHPROXY for better pool compatibility. Set the number of MBytes of GPU memory that should be left free by the miner. Disable the CPU side verification and repair of DAG. The miner software needs to learn certain aspects about your cards over time to optimize for the best balanced pool hash rate. Added Nvidia core junction temperature reading, Added color grades for temperatures in web api, Change in configuration for making it more comfy: If the number of entries for --cclk, --mclk, --lhrtune or --maxdualimpact matches exactly the number of selected GPUs, the miner will now automatically skip over the inactive devices. This will overwrite the scoring function. Ergo: Adjusted all codes mining Autolykos v2 to be ready for the epoch 1 and higher, starting Sunday Nov 7th ~8 am UTC. up to +25% on 8G Ampere GPUs), Fixed a bug that can make the miner crash with error message "Authorization problem on all configured pools 1" during Nexa mining. https://github.com/Lolliedieb/lolMiner-releases/blob/master/dual_and_split_mining.md. Extended crc table for Ethash up until epoch 550. Added --zombie-tune parameter for Polaris GPUs. is treated as worker name. Unlocking & reducing --lhrtune parameter. Also this version might draw a bit more power, but with approximately same total efficiency. Nvidia cards on Ethash now pause when the stratum reports no current work (e.g. faulty DNS entries Added parameters --dualtls and --dualworker to toggle TLS and the worker name for the dual connection. This will allow to point different GPUs to different pools. Added Aeternity Cuckoo 29 & Grin Cuckatoo 32 kernels for RX 6600 and RX 6700 series GPUs. Fixed a bug with invalid shares in Pitcairn Ergo Zombie mode. for better profit switching pool experience), Added option --no-cl to disable detection of OpenCL powered GPUs (fixes a crash on some rigs where the Nvidia OpenCL driver crashes - happens mostly when having a rig with many GPUs), Disabled DAG checking for ETC mining on 4G AMD GPUs, because this was always failing (investigating to bring it back asap). This will be a bit slower, but improve compatibility, especially for 5G GPUs. Note: some pool might not like appending your user name with a dot. 137pool.org. Added parameters --dualtls and --dualworker to toggle TLS and the worker name for the dual connection. Beta feature: Added experimental support for AMD RX7900 series. The maximum dual factor at the moment is 64, a value of 0 will disable dual mining on the GPU. This should fix issues with mining rig rentals and ezil pool. broken fans. Improved performance of Nvidia LHR V2 cards in Ethash to 79 - 79.5% (86.5 - 87 % on RTX 3060 V1 and 460.39 driver). Therefore the yesterday released version 1.21 will remain the recent release for Windows. The number overwrites the terminal width detection. Core Feature: Complete rework of LHR semi-unlock feature. Improved linux zombie mode power draw & speed Polaris GPUs (R9 380, RX Fury, RX 4x0 and RX 5x0). Use --algo ETCHASH to activate it. Significantly improved Flux mining performance on AMD RX 5000 (+10% on 5700) and AMD RX 6000 based GPUs (+15-22%). Improved Kaspa performance in Kaspa only mining mode by 0.6 to 1.2% on Nvidia GPUs and 0.4-0.5% on AMD (Big) Navi GPUs at approximately same power draw. Miner will reconnect with worker name copied into --worker in this case. The LHR unlock will start about 30 seconds after the miner did start, giving room for running the DAG generation with delayed OC. This addresses are also shown at startup and in API. In case the miner detects no action of a GPU for at least a minute it will call the included scripts "reboot.sh" (Linux) or "reboot.bat" (Windows) and display a warning message in red. We are not yet sure why, but we will investigate. Fixed bug: (Linux:) Watchdog not called when a GPU is stuck & extremely high CPU load on crashed GPU. Use --mode a (faster) --mode b (better energy efficiency) to select between the two. Mode for temperature management. Cards are separated with a comma. Mining Flux, Beam, Equihash 144/5 and Equihash 192/7 will now display the iteration/s (it / s) for easier OC tuning and the pool sol/s calculated from submitted and accepted shares. Member Offline Activity: 90 Merit: 1. Zombie mode GPUs no longer crash during DAG verify. In non-automatic mode you might see more re-calibrations during the first hour of mining then normal. beam-beepool.bat Added caching of last 5 used light caches. Keep system updated. Added parameter --statsformat to use custom format for the bigger statistic box. Linux 19.50), Renamed GRIN-AD29 to MWC-C29D to mine cuckarood-29, Added a small penalty to C32 in auto switcher - it seems the solver has not perfect fidelity and the penalty will make it switch a bit later to cover this. Improved Nexa mining performance on all other supported AMD & Nvidia Turing and Ampere gpus by 1.5 - 3% depending on model. A pool operator should set his static diff to a value where every miner can find shares in a reasonable time (lets say every 10 minutes if you have 10MH/s). Usually the pool determines a difficulty number individual for every miner (most pools put 1024 as start diff to be Nicehash compatible), so thats nothing the mining software is responsible for - it just receives the values and needs to process them correctly. HiveOn, Nicehash) (1), Fixed an issue that might cause the epoch to update too late when doing Eth + Zil dual stratum, Fixed an issue causing too much stale or very late shares in Ergo, Fixed partially defect .bat example files. Also to save energy, the memory clock can be chosen rather low. Improved performance of RTX 3060 LHR v1 semi-unlock by 2-3% depending on configuration - at same low consumption! Therefore the crashed card detection now allows three different options to proceed with a crashed card or driver: --watchdog off This is likely due to a limitation of the Intel OpenCL implementation and the way lolMiner works with it. Supports Maxwell to Ampere GPU generations. If a pool used a difficulty equal to the block difficulty then only one share would be found per block and it would be found by the miner who solves the block. Added detection of pool not accepting worker name in format when using ETHPROXY stratum. Furthermore Cuckaroo-29 with 48 cycle length - originally planned for Italocoin - got removed because of the lack of use. 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. (2) Feel free to discuss good tuning values in the discussion section of this release page. (old). Slightly improved Kaspa performance and efficiency on AMD Navi and Big Navi GPUs, Kaspa performance statistics should now be a bit more smooth. The API is now bound to the local host, causing less issues with firewalls. When a pool requests a re-connection, the miner will now do so immediately instead of waiting 1 second and no longer say the connection got "lost". Fixed a bug that RTX 3070Ti only triggered the lock detector on rather low memory clock. Use lolMiner -h to get a list of new supported parameters or visit the new, Added optimizes solvers for Beam Hash III for AMD & Nvidia cards. icemining.ca Ton stratum now can use the --pass or --dualpass parameter to apply pool settings. The alternative Windows version uses a different mechanism to determine the available memory on a Windows system. (Note that this bug also affected earlier versions of lolMiner - so if it worked fine in last version it can be expected to do so further. If this is not wished use --disablewatchdog. Cheaper locks: when unlocking the miner will continue mining at low speed to make the unlock procedure more cheap. The core offset used for the GPUs. Dual mining with Aleph & Ton is supported as well as doing ZIL dual mining. Use --help-format to get an overview of available fields. Fixed a bug with 3060 semi-unlocker not unlocking after DAG rebuild. Changes LHR tuning algorithm to minimize the number of locks & time for finding a stable value: The tuning might be improved by the miner later once stable for long enough time. Fixed a bug sometimes causing duplicate send shares in Kaspa dual mining. (See note on release page). See 4G_Windows_Readme.txt for configuring it. To use this you now can use. Gain is 15-20% over the old implementation at same Eth reward - combined with new tuning some cards can be much higher (e.g. Try to keep your settings as stable es possible. Fixed a bug causing Intel GPUs not to be sorted by PCIE bus and address in device list. The experimental mode for LHR V3 seems to sometimes have unstable when starting up with only a reboot solving it - but after a first successful start it is stable - therefore the option to turn it off if you are struggling to start it up too many times. Performance increases by 7-11% on epoch 393 (--4g-alloc-size 4080 on a RX 580. The only parameter you can change in the lolMiner zombie mode is "keepfree". "*" can be used to skip a card. The parameter is "--coin GRIN-AT31", Grin cycle finding is completely done on GPU, the miner has almost 0 CPU load (on AMD, Nvidia has some due to OpenCL back end), Stratum bug fixes (NiceHash) for 144/5, 192/7 and 96/5, Added a distinct 1G / 3&4G / 6&8G kernel for mining MNX (Windows, Linux had this in 0.7.1), Added support for Beam (BEAM, modified Equihash 150/5), only tuned for AMD cards, Added TLS support for stratum. The DAG epoch the denchmark mode will use. Speed exposed by API is now smoothed, so especially on all Equihash based algorithms the hashrate figures derived from API values will appear more smooth, Fixed a bug causing Flux mining on Nvidia Pascal GPUs not working. Extended working range of 100% LHR unlocker to 470 and 472 drivers. Extended GRIN-AT31 compatibility to older drivers (18.x +), Improved GRIN-AT31 performance on ROCm (RX 470/480/570/580/Vega/VII), Introduced early job cancellation for GRIN-AT31+ (improves hash on pool side, see further release notes on releases page), Fixed GRIN-AT31 kernel bugs (improving stability and fidelity), Fixed Bug: Vega FE loading 8G instead of 16G GRIN-AT31 solver in Windows, Fixed Bug: Watchdog did not call right file in Windows, Added --disablewatchdog 1 parameter to disable the 0 sol/s / 0 g/s detection, Significant performance improvement of GRIN-AT31 on 8 / 16G cards (+5% on Polaris & Vega, +10 on Navi), Experimental support for GRIN-AT31 and Polaris, Vega and VII using AMD ROCm drivers, Added range checks to GRIN-AT31 code (improves better stability), Added function to call external watchdog scripts in case a GPU fails during mining (see release notes), Added GRIN-AT31 solver for 16G AMD cards (Better performance on Radeon Vega FE, Radeon VII and Sapphire RX 570 16G), Updated GRIN-AT31 solver for 4G AMD cards (Better performance on Fiji based GPUs, Polaris 10 4G), Fixed a bug causing too low pool hash on GRIN-AT31. Fixed benchmark mode for ETCHash. The initial configuration takes approx 3-4 minutes from the moment the DAG was build. This fixes an issue when a pool went offline and the following connection attempt takes indefinitely much time. Decreased rate of stales on Nvidia Turing & Ampere GPUs. Current share difficulty in the Ethereum pool is 8.72G. Use --disable-dag-verify to disable the verify & repair mechanism routine. What is share difficulty? : r/EtherMining - Reddit This rig will mine: (1) A big kudos to Flexpool for helping out with this. Keep away other work load from your GPU as e.g. What is a share? Can I find it while mining solo, or only when pool The tuning will need about 30 seconds per card in the rig to show first results. Nexa mining will now allocate memory for each GPU sequentially and delay later cards startup slightly to help systems with small virtual memory. Use --tstart to allow a restart of the card below a lower temperature. LHR cards that have memory junction temperature sensors will automatically throttle LHR unlock by ~0.4 - 0.5% when hitting 106 C memory clock to prevent unneeded locks. So the average consumption can still expected to be rather low. Fixed a bug causing lolMiner not to start Kaspa mining on Nvidia GPUs when the Nvidia OpenCL installation on the system is broken. Reduced Ton & Alephium fee in Eth+Ton / Ethash+Alephium dual mining to. Use --tstop to stop any mining operation on a GPU at the given temperature. When one Nvidia GPU stops because of a recoverable error (e.g. Slight improved performance and reduction of stales for Alephium mining on Nvidias. (1) Thanks to my Spanish mining community for letting me know and the help to track down this issue. Be patient please :), Important notes about the new LHR unlocker scheme. Windows: Re-Worked GPU detection mechanism fixing the bug that miner fails to start up on some systems without any error message. This commit does not belong to any branch on this repository, and may belong to a fork outside of the repository. Note 2: memory locking on Ada gpus is only recommended if the core clock is locked as well and not maxed out - on high core clock in combination with memory locked to 5000 the performance will struggle due to worse memory timings. The scripts can be used to trigger a reboot of the rig or to call any other watchdog actions. signs in wallet address when Ton or Aleph dual mining. Therefore in automatic mode the miner might start with a slightly slower hash rate at the beginning, but will get better over time. Eth only on GPUs 0 & 1 (ton dual mining disabled by maxdualimpact), Ton only on GPUs 4 & 5 (eth mining disabled by dualdevices), Added DNS over HTTPS name resolving for establishing your pool connection. Added detection of the "fan glitch" for RTX 3000 LHR cards. Split rule for etc and beam split mode. The default value is 0, which disables the feature. _ When the glitch is detected, the GPUs will leave the special LHR modes automatically. Fixed bug: Miner can crash after trying to reconnect to same pool over 5 minutes. With lolMiner 1.20 the miner starts supporting to create two connections to your favorite pools and mine two algorithms within the same miner instance. Significantly improved the Ton performance in Eth+Ton dual mining for all supported GPUs. E.g. Other Linux kernel versions and other GPUs are unchanged. What does maximum difficulty of found share mean? : r/gpumining - Reddit Use --4g-alloc-size to calibrate the number of MBytes the GPUs are allowed to use. Removed 14 cycle fidelity from overview - new C29M solver does not output it properly. The --keepfree parameter is now working for each GPU separately. Significantly improved Nexa mining performance on supported GPUs (e.g. impactfiesta. At the end it will report the configuration in case you want to use the configuration again. Fixed a bug that may cause TLS connections not cleanly reconnecting after a connection loss, Implementing the new LHR scheme in Windows. This will be a bit slower, but improve compatibility, especially for 5G GPUs. Use --lhrtune xauto to activate the 1.33 solver style auto tuning and use --lhrtune x to set a predetermined tune value. "*" can be used to skip a card. Fixing a bug with ETHV1 (nicehash) stratum mode that may cause the worker name to be appended twice when it was given by --user . Fixed a crash on Nvidia GPUs when mixing ethproxy and Nicehash stratum modes in dualmodes. Default value is 0 (off), for most cards the value of 2 is optimal. Example for --dualdevices and --maxdualimpact Therefore the yesterday released version 1.21 will remain the recent release for Windows. In mixed system select 'a' for skipping over the AMD cards. 0MH/S After some hours of running! Pool configuration for extra connection, Format : Username or wallet address for the extra connection, Password for the extra connection (Optional). The % of the fan used for the GPUs. Because the difficulty is higher, the miner will find valid shares less frequently, resulting in less data transmitted from the miner to the pool. lolMiner 1.65 Changes Improved Kaspa performance in ETC and ETHW dual mining by about 6-7% on AMD (Big) Navi GPUs and 10-12% on Nvidia Turing and Ampere, measured at the same Ethash speed. Ethereum stratum code will now print the pool difficulty in better human readable number, The miner will now print the ip of the connected pool - to be able to detect e.g. Some cards might need a bit more core clock to achieve the used performance. Re-arranged nonce consumption for Kaspa to allow pools with 3 bytes extra-nonce without (too many) duplicate shares. Improved power efficiency of Nexa mining. Added experimental Eth+Alephium dual mining kernels for Pascal GPUs. Since this was the default behavior in previous versions it also is the default. A git repository for lolMiner release versions, To see some basic configuration examples, see here: https://github.com/Lolliedieb/lolMiner-releases/wiki/lolMiner-Basic-usage-(English), Improved performance of Nexa on Nvidia Turing and newer by 2-5% depending on model, Improved performance of Nexa on AMD cards by 0.5 - 1.5% depending on model, All GPUs on Nexa and Nvidia GPUs on Kaspa now do a clean shutdown once hitting ctrl+c - that should prevent issues and crashing when exiting / resetting oc, Enabling reading of GPU junction temperature ( and memory temperature on Nvidia GDDR6x GPUs) on Nvidia 530 drivers or newer, Windows: updated the oc gui with added AMD overclock functionality. Else the pool mirror you receive might not be ideal for your location. Added support for mining Kaspa on AMD RX Vega using rocm based drivers (amdgpu-pro 20.50 and newer), Added support for mining Nexa on AMD RX 400 & 500 series gpus. You can control its behavior with the parameter, Updated internal libraries for TLS connection handling. ETP + ZIL), General stability improvements (resolved many potential miner hangs up causes), Changed color scheme in Windows for Ethash mining (new jobs are now white, accepted shares green). If the static diff is too low the miners will submit massive amount of shares which puts very high load on the pool servers/internet connection. In mixed system select 'a' for skipping over the AMD cards. Added experimental GRIN-AT31 support for AMD Navi (8G), Significant performance improvement for GRIN-AT31 on 8G AMD cards (+22% on Polaris to 30% on Radeon VII), Disabled 16G solver for GRIN-AT31 (the 8G is faster at the moment), In command line lolMiner now accepts --pool address:port pattern, Fixed a bug with the API crashing when accessed by Chrome based browsers, Fixed a bug in EXCC stratum not passing number of submitted shares to the API.
