Title: [ANN] NicerMiner 0.5.8 - MPH mining app based on NHML v1.9.0.5 Post by: mobileanarchy on February 09, 2018, 02:29:40 AM Hi all,
Release 0.5.8 - 2018-08-09 Fixed an integration bug with CryptoDredge - Live hashrate works now. Upgraded CryptoDredge to version 0.8.3 Upgraded ethminer to version 0.15.0 Upgraded EWBF to version 0.5 Upgraded OurMiner to version 1.1.0 Download NicerMiner v0.5.8: https://github.com/odedolive/NicerMiner/raw/master/releases/NicerMiner%200.5.8.zip Version History: Release 0.5.7a - 2018-08-02 Fixed an integration bug with CryptoDredge. Release 0.5.7 - 2018-07-31 Updated to sync with NHML v1.9.0.5 Upgraded miner: EWBF 0.4 Zhash miner (for BTG mining) New miner: CryptoDredge 0.8.0 (Lyra2z, NeoScrypt, Skein, Lyra2REv2) Please note that BTG auto exchange is currently off on MPH, so if you don't want to mine BTG, disable the algorithm EquihashBTG in the UI. Release 0.5.6 - 2018-07-03 Updated to sync with NHML v1.9.0.4 New miner: EWBF 0.3 Zhash miner (for BTG mining) Please note that as of writing this release note, auto-exchange is unavailable for BTG, so profitability data is always 0 for this coin. If you choose to mine this coin exclusively (without profit-switching), you will need to disable all algorithms except EquihashBTG, and then click on the "Start" button to begin mining. Release 0.5.5 - 2018-06-28 New miner: OurMiner 1.0.0 - for faster Lyra2z support (Nvidia) New miner: hsrminer_neoscrypt_fork - for faster Neoscrypt support (Nvidia) Removed JCE Miner - The integration was unstable on lower-end CPUs and multi-CPU rigs. Release 0.5.4 - 2018-06-14 Upgraded cpuminer-opt to version 3.8.8.1 Added a new CPU miner - JCE Miner - the fastest CNV7 miner (see: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3281187.0) Release 0.5.3 - 2018-06-06 Fixing a bug with stats readout from the newly added ethminer 0.14.0 Adding nvidiasetp0state.exe to optimize Nvidia mining Release 0.5.2 - 2018-06-05 Updated to sync with NHML v1.9.0.3 Bundled ethminer 0.14.0 which provides better performance and stability for CUDA devices. You can still use the "original" version if you like. Benchmark both, and see what works best for you. Release 0.5.1 - 2018-05-24 Updated to sync with NHML v1.9.0.2 Release 0.5.0 - 2018-05-07 Updated to sync with NHML v1.9.0.1 Removing support for ASIC controlled algos (Groestl, Myriad-Groestl and Qubit) - no point in wasting time benching them Adding support to new CPU algos - Yescrypt, Lyra2z and another CryptonightV7 miner that might be faster than XmrStak on your machine Ethash/Keccak dual=mining is now supported out-of-the-box, no need to override anything. Release 0.4.6 - 2018-04-12 Hotfix release due to MPH renaming the Cryptonight Hub to Cryptonight-Monero You only really need to upgrade to this release if you mine the Cryptonight V7 Hub. Release 0.4.5 - 2018-04-11 Adding support to the following algorithms (only for Nvidia): Skein, Groestl, Lyra2z, Myriad-Groestl and Qubit. Claymore Dual Miner Ethash+Keccak is still not officially supported by NHML, you will need to follow the override instruction described in the release notes for version 0.2 (below) Release 0.4 - 2018-04-09 Updated to sync with NHML v1.9.0.0 alpha Supporting Cryptonight v7 to mine the MPH Cryptonight Hub Release 0.3.1 - 2018-03-21 This is a hotfix release, please see version 0.3 full release notes. Fixing an issue with misconfigured ethminer pool url argument Release 0.3 - 2018-03-21 Fixing an issue with misconfigured ccminer arguments (affecting Neoscript and other algorithms) Fixing an issue with truncating the server url on Ethminer This release is still based on NHML v1.8.1.9 due to mixed reviews for the new profitability switching refactoring that took place on NHML v1.8.1.10, I will evaluate the next version to decide if it will be kept in sync with NHML down the road. Release 0.2 - 2018-02-25 Updated to be in line with NHML v1.8.1.9 Added support to Claymore's Dual Miner v11.0 (Dual mine Ethash and Keccak) Since this miner downloads the miners package used by NHML, you will need to overwrite the downloaded version of Claymore Dual Miner with the latest version manually (otherwise the new Ethash/Keccak combo will fail to mine/benchmark). So after you download this version, and run it for the first time (to download the miners package), you will need to download the latest Claymore Dual Miner and replace the binaries in the following path: \bin_3rdparty\claymore_dual with the content of the zip file containing Claymore's binaries. I decided to see if I can adapt the great NHML to mine on MPH, and this is what I came up with. Some key changes that were made to NHML:
Dev Fees To support the development of this miner, the miner will mine for the developer for 10 minutes every 24 hours (this is a very low fee of 0.7%). How will this happen? for every 24 hours the application will be mining, there will be a 10 minute "break" in which the app will stop mining for you, and will start mining for me. when those 10 minutes are done, it will resume mining for you where it left off, and based on the most profitable algorithm at the time. Please note: the 10 minute dev fee mining period will be randomly placed on every 24 hours of active mining, so it's impossible to predict when it will take place. To be completely transparent - during dev fee mining, the window's background will be switched to bright yellow - trust me - you can't miss it. I really want to take it further and implement a more advanced profitability switching mechanism. The implementation in NHLM is pretty simplistic - it only supports algo-switching, upgrading this mechanism will be quite challenging, but it's doable. The challenge here is to keep a fine balance between updating and adding functionality and maintaining compatibility with the source, so that any update/bug-fix/feature that is being added to NHML can be easily merged to this code base.

Good luck with that!
Title: Re: [ANN] NicerMiner - MPH mining app based on NHML v1.8.1.8 Post by: mobileanarchy on February 09, 2018, 02:27:56 PM I see where you are coming from, but here is NHML license:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nicehash/NiceHashMinerLegacy/master/LICENSE.txt In any case, changing an open source project is not considered stealing if you meet the project's license terms. I modified a great open-source project to do something else/different, and "stuck a dev fee on" to see if I can use it to support future development. I also specified my future plans, but if no one cares it's your call. I tried to be as transparent as possible. Title: Re: [ANN] NicerMiner - MPH mining app based on NHML v1.8.1.8 Post by: Pilgrim75 on February 09, 2018, 06:19:00 PM I like this undertaking.
Title: Re: [ANN] NicerMiner - MPH mining app based on NHML v1.8.1.8 Post by: mobileanarchy on February 11, 2018, 06:32:10 PM I removed all the built in dual mining options NHML had because they were all irrelevant due to recent ASICs releases (Baikal).
I'll look into implementing Claymore 11 with the new algos, but I can't really say how long it will take. I'm hoping NHML devs will do it in the meantime and I'll be able to use their implementation (adding a miner to the app is pretty complicated, as it ties to the whole benchmark process they have) Regarding a default coin - that can be done in the mph workers dashboard. You can specify which coin should be mined by a worker pointing at an algorithm hub port. Edit: after looking into it, this is going to be impossible to implement without some sort of hackery. Currently NHML is downloading all the miners binaries as a zip file hosted on GitHub (under NiceHash's control) I can't replace one version with another Title: Re: [ANN] NicerMiner - MPH mining app based on NHML v1.8.1.8 Post by: mobileanarchy on February 13, 2018, 02:38:57 AM So I ended up implementing the Dual Eth+Keccak using Claymore 11 directly into the NHML repo:
https://github.com/nicehash/NiceHashMinerLegacy/pull/989 This pull request can only be approved by the NHML repo manager(s). I'm not sure what their release schedule is, but once it ends up in their codebase, I can then merge it into mine Theoretically I can do it right now, but there will have to be some manual process for users, to replace the downloaded Claymore version with the newer one manually. If you guys are OK with that, I can release a new version for my miner ASAP. Title: Re: [ANN] NicerMiner - MPH mining app based on NHML v1.8.1.8 Post by: phuocduong on February 13, 2018, 02:41:48 AM dont know how to use it
Title: Re: [ANN] NicerMiner - MPH mining app based on NHML v1.8.1.8 Post by: mobileanarchy on February 13, 2018, 03:56:47 AM Download the zip file:
https://github.com/odedolive/NicerMiner/wiki/Releases Unzip, and run the NicerMiner.exe executable. Enter your MPH user name, set a worker name (and enter your API key - this is optional and used to load you MPH balance) You will need to benchmark your hardware (Benchmark button). Once you do, you can start mining. Title: Re: [ANN] NicerMiner - MPH mining app based on NHML v1.8.1.8 Post by: yhbae on February 21, 2018, 05:57:50 PM Could someone point out to me what would be the advantage of using this over either going NiceHash directly or hitting MPH directly?
Thanks. Title: Re: [ANN] NicerMiner - MPH mining app based on NHML v1.8.1.8 Post by: mobileanarchy on February 22, 2018, 04:06:38 AM It will basically mine the most profitable algorithm at any given point based on your benchmarked hardware.
Title: Re: [ANN] NicerMiner - MPH mining app based on NHML v1.8.1.8 Post by: yhbae on February 22, 2018, 03:36:52 PM It will basically mine the most profitable algorithm at any given point based on your benchmarked hardware. That sounds about the same as any other profit switching miners... What's different about this one compare to say, Nice Hash miner on Windows? Title: Re: [ANN] NicerMiner - MPH mining app based on NHML v1.8.1.8 Post by: mobileanarchy on February 22, 2018, 04:04:47 PM The NiceHash Legacy Miner, which is the foundation of this miner, is one of the best options if you have a system built of cards that perform differently on different algorithms (for example a mix of AMD and Nvidia)
This is the only miner I had good experience with, that can mine multiple different algorithms at the same time, based on the benchmark results of individual cards (and not the system as a whole) Title: Re: [ANN] NicerMiner - MPH mining app based on NHML v1.8.1.8 Post by: bobguy22 on February 22, 2018, 09:48:25 PM I can't even use the miner It tries to download the miners No progress bar happens and It just locks up https://i.imgur.com/qXcF9KH.png
Title: Re: [ANN] NicerMiner - MPH mining app based on NHML v1.8.1.8 Post by: mobileanarchy on February 23, 2018, 01:40:47 PM Please make sure you have all the dependencies and prerequisites described here:
https://github.com/nicehash/NiceHashMinerLegacy#run If you can run the original NiceHash miner, you should be able to run this one. Title: Re: [ANN] NicerMiner - MPH mining app based on NHML v1.8.1.8 Post by: bobguy22 on February 23, 2018, 04:23:37 PM Disabled all AVs and the miner used to work a day or so ago and now both of them don't work I am very confused [edit] downloaded bins manually and its fine
Title: Re: [ANN] NicerMiner 0.2 - MPH mining app based on NHML v1.8.1.9 Post by: mobileanarchy on February 25, 2018, 06:48:59 PM Release 0.2 - 2018-02-25
Updated to be in line with NHML v1.8.1.9 Added support to Claymore's Dual Miner v11.0 (Dual mine Ethash and Keccak) From NHML release notes: Fixed error where auto-downloading of miner bins fails after new GitHub service changes Also, I created a pull request on the NHML repo to add support to Claymore's Dual Miner v11.0: https://github.com/nicehash/NiceHashMinerLegacy/pull/989 I really hoped it would end up in the latest version of HHML, but it didn't, so I ended up patching it manually on this version of NicerMiner. Cheers. Title: Re: [ANN] NicerMiner 0.2 - MPH mining app based on NHML v1.8.1.9 Post by: bitbomber05 on March 20, 2018, 04:09:27 AM Came across this page and have been using the miner for the past 5 hours or so and I'm really impressed with it.
The algorithm switch doesn't flip flop between coins like multi pool miner and it seems fairly stable. Just a couple of questions, do we still need to manually download Claymore Dual Miner v11.0 (or newer) in Nice Miner v0.2 or has it been added? The GPU miner stopped after about 5 hours when it switched to NeoScrypt, not sure if these items are related or this is a bug? EDIT: After checking Neoscrypt individually I can confirm its not mining, I also checked rest of algos and the only ones the work are the 3 Equihash algos and Daggerhash (Claymore). Is it possible the miners did not download correctly or something? Title: Re: [ANN] NicerMiner 0.2 - MPH mining app based on NHML v1.8.1.9 Post by: mobileanarchy on March 21, 2018, 01:00:09 PM What OS are you using?
I found that Windows 10 Defender delete the miner executable when the app attempts to lunch it. I will take a look at the neoscript miner tonight. Regarding the dual miner - you will need to download it yourself and overwrite the miner that NHML downloads automatically upon launch. I created a pull request on the NHML with Claymore 11.X support over a month ago hoping it will get merged to their codebase to avoid this extra step, but unfortunately it didn't happen. Edit: Forgot to ask - are you using Nvidia or AMD GPUs? so that I'll know which miner to try to debug. Title: Re: [ANN] NicerMiner 0.2 - MPH mining app based on NHML v1.8.1.9 Post by: bitbomber05 on March 21, 2018, 10:36:48 PM I'm using Windows 10 mining with Nvidia GTX 1070.
I tried turning off Windows Defender and added the whole NiceMiner folder to the exclusions list before re-installing (downloading miners) again just to be sure. I also downloaded Claymore Dual Miner 11.5, extracted and moved and replaced the contents of the bin_3rdparty "claymore_dual" folder. I also rechecked/reinstalled the NHML dependencies before re-launching but its still doing the same thing. :-[ This time i left the miner windows open for each algo so I could get the error messages, each algo provides the following: Cryptonight, keccak, lyrar2v2: Http request failed: Empty reply from server; get_work failed, retry after 30 seconds Neoscrypt: Http request failed: Empty reply from server; json_rpc_call failed, retry after 10 seconds Daggerhashimoto (ethminer): Connecting to stratum server b.miningpoolhub.com:17020; resolve: No such host is known; reconnecting in 3 seconds... Daggerkeccak doesnt launch mining window at all The other 4 algos still work as before.. ??? Title: Re: [ANN] NicerMiner 0.2 - MPH mining app based on NHML v1.8.1.9 Post by: mobileanarchy on March 22, 2018, 12:00:20 AM I'm looking into it.
I see a problem in the ccminer arguments builder... so I fixed that and that should resolve all ccminer-related algos. I'll take a look at the Claymore dual miner now (to make sure it works with version 11.5) and will post an update as soon as possible (probably in a couple of hours) Thanks for the heads up. Title: Re: [ANN] NicerMiner 0.3 - MPH mining app based on NHML v1.8.1.9 Post by: mobileanarchy on March 22, 2018, 12:47:27 AM Release 0.3 - 2018-03-21
Fixing an issue with misconfigured ccminer arguments (affecting Neoscript and other algorithms) Fixing an issue with truncating the server url on Ethminer This release is still based on NHML v1.8.1.9 due to mixed reviews for the new profitability switching refactoring that took place on NHML v1.8.1.10, I will evaluate the next version to decide if it will be kept in sync with NHML down the road. https://github.com/odedolive/NicerMiner/blob/master/releases/NicerMiner%200.3.zip?raw=true Title: Re: [ANN] NicerMiner 0.3 - MPH mining app based on NHML v1.8.1.9 Post by: bitbomber05 on March 22, 2018, 01:25:49 AM Nice work, just tested and its fixed cryptonight, keccak, lyra2v2 and neoscrypt! ;D
Just daggerhashimoto (ethminer) and daggerkeccak are the only 2 not working now so I've just left them disabled for the time being. DaggerHashimoto seems to run fine with Claymore 11.5 override in claymore-dual folder also. EDIT: Did a re-bench after moving Claymore Dual 11.5 into the claymore_dual folder and now DaggerKeccak works too! So now its just daggerhash (ethminer) which doesn't work. I tried re-benching that also but no luck. Title: Re: [ANN] NicerMiner 0.3 - MPH mining app based on NHML v1.8.1.9 Post by: mobileanarchy on March 22, 2018, 01:30:37 AM I just double checked Dagger using ethminer and DaggerKeccak using Claymore's Dual Miner and they both seem to work on my end...
Can I bother you with log files/messages again please? (I'm testing on a Nvidia rig BTW if it makes any difference) Title: Re: [ANN] NicerMiner 0.3 - MPH mining app based on NHML v1.8.1.9 Post by: bitbomber05 on March 22, 2018, 02:20:48 AM Sure can ;)
https://pastebin.com/rQrhWCHC (https://pastebin.com/rQrhWCHC) https://imgur.com/a/2RcCJ I'm using Nvidia rig as well so that wouldn't be it. Title: Re: [ANN] NicerMiner 0.3 - MPH mining app based on NHML v1.8.1.9 Post by: mobileanarchy on March 22, 2018, 02:56:00 AM I see what the problem is now:
Starting miner [pid(18020)|bin(bin\ethminer\ethminer.exe)] --cuda -S b.miningpoolhub.com:17020 NiceHash had some code to strip the first 14 chars from the pool's URL (basically the stratum+tcp:// prefix, because ethminer doesn't need it) I'll create a fix for it ASAP. probably tomorrow, as it's getting late on my end. Thanks again for your feedback. Here's a little tease for what I'm working on now https://imgur.com/a/wXsdD It's been in the works for a few months now, and I think there's more to do, although the core functionality is done (profit-switching, process watch-dog etc.) Now I'm working on basically the fluff - graphs, and dashboard stuff... Title: Re: [ANN] NicerMiner 0.3 - MPH mining app based on NHML v1.8.1.9 Post by: bitbomber05 on March 22, 2018, 03:15:48 AM No problems, at least its an easy fix. :)
New project looks interesting... When are you expecting a release? Title: Re: [ANN] NicerMiner 0.3 - MPH mining app based on NHML v1.8.1.9 Post by: marthor on March 22, 2018, 03:25:18 AM Why would you mine on MiningPoolHub instead of NiceHash?
NiceHash has higher profits for the most profitable algorithms and uses pay per share, which is much better for algo and coin switching. MiningPoolHub is garbage. Title: Re: [ANN] NicerMiner 0.3 - MPH mining app based on NHML v1.8.1.9 Post by: bitbomber05 on March 22, 2018, 03:49:43 AM A few of reasons, MPH has much lower fees than NH for one. It also has auto exchange and auto withdraw features so you can get your chosen coin to your chosen wallet automatically without the expense or delays of moving BTC. There's also a great MPH monitor for android which I've found to be more reliable than the NH ones I've tried.

I'm not sure to be honest, it depends on how much "gold-plating" I want to put into the dashboard page. But like I said, the "core" is ready and running on all my rigs (all 3 of them :P) and I'm pretty happy with the returns it's bringing me. I never thought about mining Phi, Tribus, Xeven, X16r before building this tool for myself... so it was a nice learning experience if anything else.

I left v0.3 going last night but the gpu miner just seems to have stopped at around 19.35. not sure why coz i could see that the cpu miner was still going via MPH monitor until this morning. The log just seems to stop abruptly with a blank spot until I started it again this morning. =https://pastebin.com/gSkDV9hW (http://=https://pastebin.com/gSkDV9hW) any ideas? EDIT: also had it running on another separate rig at a different location and it did the same thing so i don't think its hardware. I don't have the logs for that one as it was restarted last night and they don't go back that far.

Did both computers stop at the same time? There's nothing in the logs that pops up as a potential issue. Anyway, I created a quick fix for the ethminer issue - version 0.3.1: https://github.com/odedolive/NicerMiner/raw/master/releases/NicerMiner%200.3.1.zip I wonder if it's a Claymore comparability issue, you can give ethminer a try now that it's supposed to be working properly.

Not sure about the other miner as the logs have been overwritten but they were started at different times and different locations so id think its unlikely. I did think the same thing about Claymore, will do a re-bench on this clean 0.3.1 install and try without 11.5, hopefully its stable. Thanks for the update ethminer seems to be working now, will let you know how the old claymore goes after more thorough testing.

I've been running the miner for 3 days straight now and from what I can tell it hasn't missed a beat, the stability looks solid ;D The only thing that I can pick with it is that the CPU miner window (specifically only the xmr-stak-cpu miner window) wont auto-hide like it should. For every single other miner the cmd window stays hidden but for xmr-stak-cpu it pops up every time, is there any way to fix this? Title: Re: [ANN] NicerMiner 0.3.1 - MPH mining app based on NHML v1.8.1.9 Post by: mobileanarchy on March 29, 2018, 01:16:01 AM I went to look at the source code and found this:
public XmrStackCPUMiner() : base("XmrStackCPUMiner") { this.ConectionType = NhmConectionType.NONE; IsNeverHideMiningWindow = true; } The bold line basically override the app's settings, and will prevent the window hiding logic. I suppose this is intentional, and was coded to work around some issue - maybe it affected performance, or blocked the API calls... Title: Re: [ANN] NicerMiner 0.3.1 - MPH mining app based on NHML v1.8.1.9 Post by: bitbomber05 on March 29, 2018, 02:38:05 AM I just downloaded the source code for NH 1.8.1.9 and I can see the code your talking about, makes sense.
What I don't understand is why the window doesn't stay open when I run xmr-stak-cpu in NiceHash 1.8.1.9 ??? Title: Re: [ANN] NicerMiner 0.3.1 - MPH mining app based on NHML v1.8.1.9 Post by: mobileanarchy on March 29, 2018, 02:44:34 AM It's not a bug, it's a feature ;D
I'll take another look when I get a chance. I will need to run both instances and debug the source code to see if there's another switch somewhere to override that switch ;) Title: Re: [ANN] NicerMiner 0.3.1 - MPH mining app based on NHML v1.8.1.9 Post by: bitbomber05 on March 29, 2018, 03:48:12 AM cheers, I had scratch around at the file structure myself but couldn't find anything, over my head. :-[
Title: Re: [ANN] NicerMiner 0.3.1 - MPH mining app based on NHML v1.8.1.9 Post by: bitbomber05 on April 05, 2018, 05:14:47 AM Just saw on the socials that the upcoming XMR fork will use the new cryptonightV7 algo to eliminate XMR asic mining. NH have release and alpha that supports the new algo, are you planning to update NM to the new NH 1.9.x.x?
Happy to help with any testing ;) Title: Re: [ANN] NicerMiner 0.3.1 - MPH mining app based on NHML v1.8.1.9 Post by: mobileanarchy on April 06, 2018, 12:14:02 PM I'll look into it ASAP.

The migration was slightly painful as the profit switching functionality completely changed between version 1.8.1.9 and 1.8.1.10. https://i.imgur.com/TIwsW3J.png Going to run it overnight and will post an updated version tomorrow if it all checks out. Cheers. Title: Re: [ANN] NicerMiner 0.3.1 - MPH mining app based on NHML v1.8.1.9 Post by: bitbomber05 on April 09, 2018, 10:29:18 PM Legend, nice work as always.
Title: Re: [ANN] NicerMiner 0.4 - MPH mining app based on NHML v1.9.0.0 alpha Post by: mobileanarchy on April 10, 2018, 01:50:04 AM Release 0.4 - 2018-04-09
Updated to sync with NHML v1.9.0.0 alpha Supporting Cryptonight v7 to mine the MPH Cryptonight Hub Claymore Dual Miner Ethash+Keccak is still not officially supported by NHML, you will need to follow the override instruction described in the release notes for version 0.2 (below) Download NicerMiner v0.4: https://github.com/odedolive/NicerMiner/raw/master/releases/NicerMiner%200.4.zip This is based on an alpha version of NHML. So proceed with care. Title: Re: [ANN] NicerMiner 0.4 - MPH mining app based on NHML v1.9.0.0 alpha Post by: bitbomber05 on April 10, 2018, 04:34:22 AM Running v0.4 now, seems to be working well for the most part with a couple of minor bugs or 'features' ;)
The main one being that I'm unable to benchmark Cryptonight V7 (ccminer) GPU, it doesn't seem to start and just keeps asking me to retry, possible it hasn't downloaded? The 'features' are that as well as XMRstak CPU mining window, the Equihash (EWBF) and CNv7 (XMRStak) GPU miners now display mining windows albeit minimised rather than hidden. Other than that, the new CNv7 seems to work well. Thanks for the update, really appreciate it. Title: Re: [ANN] NicerMiner 0.4 - MPH mining app based on NHML v1.9.0.0 alpha Post by: mobileanarchy on April 10, 2018, 02:09:03 PM I will take another look tonight.
I was able to run this version on two of my Nvidia rigs, and was able to benchmark and mine CryptonightV7 on both GPU and CPU. Logs can help if you can share any, but I made no changes around that area, so potentially, it should behave the same as the original NHML v1.9.0.0 alpha. Title: Re: [ANN] NicerMiner 0.4 - MPH mining app based on NHML v1.9.0.0 alpha Post by: bitbomber05 on April 11, 2018, 02:48:21 AM So after checking the NHML Alpha, you're right about the mining windows. They behave the same in NHML as NM so i assume its something to do with being an Alpha.
With the CNV7 (ccminer) algo I have tried it on a few machines but haven't been able to get it to work. I did notice that there is no listing for CNV7 (ccminer) int the benchmarks but I'm assuming the name of the original CN (ccminer) has just been changed? All benchmarks completed successfully in NHML. Log file below attempting bench and 3 reties. https://pastebin.com/gSwGrNmq (https://pastebin.com/gSwGrNmq) Title: Re: [ANN] NicerMiner 0.4 - MPH mining app based on NHML v1.9.0.0 alpha Post by: mobileanarchy on April 11, 2018, 02:37:05 PM I was able to mine CNV7 using the bundled XmrStak on my Nvidia rig.
The bundled CCminer seems to fail on my end too when trying to benchmark on my Nvidia rig. Last night I was also able implement support for Skein, Lyra2z, Groestl, MyriadGroestl and Qubit so stay tuned :-) Title: Re: [ANN] NicerMiner 0.4 - MPH mining app based on NHML v1.9.0.0 alpha Post by: bitbomber05 on April 11, 2018, 11:07:35 PM Nice! ;D ;D ;D

Hotfix release due to MPH renaming the Cryptonight Hub to Cryptonight-Monero You only really need to upgrade to this release if you mine the Cryptonight V7 Hub.

The new CNv7 algo seems to have made CPU mining more profitable. ;D
New build looks stable with only 2 things I've noticed, the first being the CNv7 ccminer not benching which we already knew about. The other is with Qubit but this could just be my rig. The algo benches fine but if i try to mine with it it wont hash, just says 0.00h/s. Not a major problem but worth mentioning. Anyone else having this issue? Title: Re: [ANN] NicerMiner 0.4.6 - MPH mining app based on NHML v1.9.0.0 alpha Post by: mobileanarchy on April 15, 2018, 08:14:00 PM To be honest, I wouldn't be too worried about Qubit as it's dominated by ASICs.
Glad things sorted out. Cheers. Title: Re: [ANN] NicerMiner 0.4.6 - MPH mining app based on NHML v1.9.0.0 alpha Post by: bitbomber05 on April 16, 2018, 10:05:43 PM Nah not really worried about Qubit, was more just for your record for future builds. This one is definitely the best to date though.

Just saw that a new claymoredual miner 11.7 has been released and was wondering about the best way to update it in nicerminer. Is it simply a matter of dragging it into the claymore dual folder and overwriting whats there or should I do a full re-install? Title: Re: [ANN] NicerMiner 0.4.6 - MPH mining app based on NHML v1.9.0.0 alpha Post by: mobileanarchy on May 03, 2018, 03:36:39 PM As long as the miner does not change the way it runs (renaming parameters, requiring new parameters or removing old ones), an in-line replacement should work just fine.
I would recommend backing up the old version, just in case, and give it a try. Title: Re: [ANN] NicerMiner 0.4.6 - MPH mining app based on NHML v1.9.0.0 alpha Post by: bitbomber05 on May 05, 2018, 12:00:44 AM I tried the overwrite method and re-benched the Claymore algos and everything seems to be working fine ;D

Title: Re: [ANN] NicerMiner 0.4.6 - MPH mining app based on NHML v1.9.0.0 alpha Post by: Logic-Elliven on May 06, 2018, 11:13:55 PM NHML 1.9.0.1 stable version has been released with lower fees, better dual mining and benchmarking. Any plans for an update? +1! And many are going to be amazed at the difference the correct -dcri value can make to what you thought was most profitable! (Power usage excepted) I would set the decri range start @ 5. This is true for Keccak and possibly for the other 2nd coins too from what I can tell. (Benching atm) NB that the std test goes up in increments of 25. I would set an increment to 5, (min 5 to max 40 (go higher if it sets 40...)) and then fine tune; Range of 4 either way using an increment of 1 to find the optimum. ie: if it chooses 35, set increment at 1, range 31 to 39... re test. Title: Re: [ANN] NicerMiner 0.4.6 - MPH mining app based on NHML v1.9.0.0 alpha Post by: mobileanarchy on May 07, 2018, 02:39:08 AM I've merged v1.9.0.1 into NicerMiner.
I also added support for new CPU algos - Yescrypt and Lyra2z (on my CPU, Yescrypt is around 20%-30% more profitable than CNv7), plus another implementation of the CNv7 algo, you might find faster than XmrStak, so give it a try. I'm running tests tonight and I'll try to figure out a way to pack this new version, as I'll have to ship it with a new CPU miner (https://github.com/JayDDee/cpuminer-opt/releases/tag/v3.8.8) Stay tuned.

I hope to get a new release tonight. Also, how interested are you in supporting additional CPU algorithms? I'm also looking at adding support for Bminer with it's new Eth Dual mining modes. Title: Re: [ANN] NicerMiner 0.5.0 - MPH mining app based on NHML v1.9.0.1 Post by: bitbomber05 on May 25, 2018, 12:53:28 AM Nice!
To be honest, with the CPU algos ive never seen my rig using anything but xmr-stak so unless the profitability is up on the others I'm not sure its needed. Plus i noticed that XMRig is back in the new build anyway which it used to occasionaly swith to. I know you said the other algos were more profitable on yours but I could only get the following to bench: xmrstak, cpumineroptjaydeeAES (for CNv7, Lyra2z & yescrypt) and the rest of the yescrypt except 2SHA. All the GPU algos benched fine but would be interested in Bminer also if its up there with claymore because the profitability on the GPU changes quite often. EDIT: minor correction, all the CPU algos bench except the 2SHA ones but only the ones I listed above actually mined, the others just sat idle. Title: Re: [ANN] NicerMiner 0.5.1 - MPH mining app based on NHML v1.9.0.2 Post by: mobileanarchy on May 25, 2018, 02:24:28 AM Here we go:

I'm looking at merging 1.9.0.3 right now. Running some tests as we speak. Regarding the default miner settings: I had no idea, as I'm not CPU mining on any of my rigs (I do a shallow test to make sure it works, but turn it off after a short while) I'm not sure about overriding the default settings, because if might have a negative effect on other users (tweaking might work for you, but break the app for others) Regarding the question about CPU load while idle - I'll try to dig into it. I am not doing anything funny in the background other than loading MPH profitability data. And the NM zip file is bigger than NHML - it's because I ship it bundled with a CPU miner instead of downloading it on first launch. I only started doing that in the past couple of releases (you can see the history at GitHub) Title: Re: [ANN] NicerMiner 0.5.1 - MPH mining app based on NHML v1.9.0.2 Post by: astronyu on June 04, 2018, 02:26:26 PM I have memory issue a lot with Genoil Ethminer.

Maybe give it a few minutes for the DAG file to initialize on each GPU. This has to work, as it passed benchmark, and a real hashrate was loaded successfully (otherwise the UI would have never picked/used that miner to begin with) Now that I figured out how to add additional miners, I'm very interested in adding the best-in-class miners/versions to this application. Any suggestions based on experience? which miner should I add next? Unfortunately, I sold all my AMD GPUs, so it's going to be hard/impossible to add and test AMD miners, but I have a couple of Nvidia 10XX rigs.

Unfortunately, I sold all my AMD GPUs, so it's going to be hard/impossible to add and test AMD miners, but I have a couple of Nvidia 10XX rigs. Title: Re: [ANN] NicerMiner 0.5.2 - MPH mining app based on NHML v1.9.0.3 Post by: mobileanarchy on June 05, 2018, 03:05:37 PM I see...
Does the benchmark for the new ethminer (ethminerLatest) finish successfully? What is your hashrate compared to the one shipped by default? I'll take another look at the API calls ASAP, in the meantime, this is a minor visual bug, you can still use this version if you find it more stable than the previous one. Title: Re: [ANN] NicerMiner 0.5.2 - MPH mining app based on NHML v1.9.0.3 Post by: astronyu on June 05, 2018, 08:09:07 PM I see... Benchmark was completed successfully. The new ethminer vs old, there was at least a little bit increase of hashrate and but I think the new ethminer is more stable.Does the benchmark for the new ethminer (ethminerLatest) finish successfully? What is your hashrate compared to the one shipped by default? I'll take another look at the API calls ASAP, in the meantime, this is a minor visual bug, you can still use this version if you find it more stable than the previous one. Curious, for the new ethminer, does it follow DAG load setting from the UI? Other feedback: Unrelated to the ethminer above, I checked NeoScrypt and CryptoNight7 benchmark, it mentioned card does not support CUDA 9.1. (PC has CUDA 9.2 installed). As for additional miner, maybe you could add Excavator miner? Title: Re: [ANN] NicerMiner 0.5.2 - MPH mining app based on NHML v1.9.0.3 Post by: bitbomber05 on June 05, 2018, 10:49:10 PM Can confirm that NM 1.9.0.3 doesn't show has rate for the new ethminer even though its mining in the console.
But I haven't had any issues with NeoScrypt or CNv7 in relation to CUDA. Though I'm on CUDA 9.0.176, for some reason I cant get 9.2 to install on my PC. EDIT: updated to CUDA 9.2 (after long uninstall) and all seems to be working ok. @astronyu where did you see that neosrypt and and cnv7 dont support CUDA? Title: Re: [ANN] NicerMiner 0.5.2 - MPH mining app based on NHML v1.9.0.3 Post by: mobileanarchy on June 06, 2018, 02:35:12 AM So i figured out the missing hashrate on the newer ethminer. They actually implemented an API similar to Claymore's, which made my like a tad easier.
https://github.com/ethereum-mining/ethminer/pull/253 I'll push a version tomorrow, I want to make sure it runs without any issues on my rig overnight. Thanks for the feedback guys! Title: Re: [ANN] NicerMiner 0.5.2 - MPH mining app based on NHML v1.9.0.3 Post by: astronyu on June 06, 2018, 03:08:20 AM Can confirm that NM 1.9.0.3 doesn't show has rate for the new ethminer even though its mining in the console. From the benchmark log. It doesn't help to run all the benchmark again too, tried and same thing.But I haven't had any issues with NeoScrypt or CNv7 in relation to CUDA.

EDIT: updated to CUDA 9.2 (after long uninstall) and all seems to be working ok. @astronyu where did you see that neosrypt and and cnv7 dont support CUDA? Yet another issue to report. With version 0.5.2, the new ethminer seems to always start and will ignore current profitable coin. Even when the UI reporting using all GPUs to mine Equihash, ethminer console kept opened and did not shut down. The GPU ends up sort of dual mining Eth and Equihash. Restarting the console (via UI) will then mined profitable coin but when it auto switch to Eth, ethminer will again refused to shut down. https://i.imgur.com/Yqg51Jk.jpg Title: Re: [ANN] NicerMiner 0.5.1 - MPH mining app based on NHML v1.9.0.2 Post by: Logic-Elliven on June 06, 2018, 04:36:01 AM Hi, Regarding the default miner settings: I had no idea, as I'm not CPU mining on any of my rigs (I do a shallow test to make sure it works, but turn it off after a short while) I'm not sure about overriding the default settings, because if might have a negative effect on other users (tweaking might work for you, but break the app for others) One thing xmr-stak does not do is optimise for your CPU. Might I suggest a guide on how to do so? I might even be talked into writing one! :) I also suggest you start mining your CPU: The difference between power consumption when idle/just GPU mining and an optimally mining CPU pays for all the rig power (GPUs excepted), plus change! The amount of change can be considerable with multi core CPUs. And the NM zip file is bigger than NHML - it's because I ship it bundled with a CPU miner instead of downloading it on first launch. I only started doing that in the past couple of releases (you can see the history at GitHub) Ah yes. I notice that the nicerminer.exe file is about half the size of nicehashminerlegacy.exe, but there are quite a # of CPU related files (cpuid.exp, .iobk, .ipdb, .lib) not seen in in NHML..? I also notice that you have left out some unnecessary files. NB that the nvidiasetp0state files are not unnecessary. Without them many nvidia GF cards will not run at their optimal power state and thus not get the hashrate they will on NHML.

Add JCEMiner as it is the fastest cryptonote miner.

Running the tests now, will try to release a new version ASAP. One known bug I was not able to resolve was an issue with stopping the benchmark process after starting benching JCE. The UI is unable to kill the process (as it spawns a few additional processes in the background), but if you wait for it to bench successfully, it will behave nicely. Will take a look at adding pheonixminer next. I'll also try to figure out what's up with the p0 state error.

Title: Re: [ANN] NicerMiner 0.5.6 - MPH mining app based on NHML v1.9.0.4 Post by: bitbomber05 on July 29, 2018, 09:47:08 PM Is there a new release coming for NHML 1.9.0.5?
Title: Re: [ANN] NicerMiner 0.5.6 - MPH mining app based on NHML v1.9.0.4 Post by: mobileanarchy on July 30, 2018, 11:59:35 AM I totally missed that.
Will get on it ASAP. Thanks for the heads up. Title: Re: [ANN] NicerMiner 0.5.6 - MPH mining app based on NHML v1.9.0.4 Post by: mobileanarchy on July 31, 2018, 12:12:02 PM Just an update:
I got NHML 1.9.0.5 fully synced with my code. I'm working on adding CryptoDredge - it's API is a bit tricky to hook into the benchmarking process (they do not support benchmarking, so I have to actually begin mining and look for the result in the background) I hope to get something out there tonight, or worst case tomorrow. I also read the actual profitability data for BTG, and it seems like its one of the most profitable coins to mine right now on MPH (if you don't mind exchanging it yourself). The new version will bump EWBF to version 0.4. Thanks for our patience. Title: Re: [ANN] NicerMiner 0.5.7 - MPH mining app based on NHML v1.9.0.5 Post by: mobileanarchy on August 01, 2018, 02:09:47 AM Release 0.5.7 - 2018-07-31
Updated to sync with NHML v1.9.0.5 Upgraded miner: EWBF 0.4 Zhash miner (for BTG mining) New miner: CryptoDredge 0.8.0 (Lyra2z, NeoScrypt, Skein, Lyra2REv2) Please note that BTG auto exchange is currently off on MPH, so if you don't want to mine BTG, disable the algorithm EquihashBTG in the UI.

I'm having issues with the new miner though. When ever i run a Cryptodredge algo the mining window pops up for a second then closes. It also doesn't seem to save benchmarks when I close and re-open NM ??? One other thing is that ethminerlatest no longer seems to work, it wont hash. Title: Re: [ANN] NicerMiner 0.5.7 - MPH mining app based on NHML v1.9.0.5 Post by: mobileanarchy on August 02, 2018, 12:33:40 AM That's odd. Any logs you can share?
What algo is it trying to mine using cryptodredge? Title: Re: [ANN] NicerMiner 0.5.7 - MPH mining app based on NHML v1.9.0.5 Post by: bitbomber05 on August 02, 2018, 01:07:07 AM Here's a log starting cryptodredge on neoscrypt but they all cryptodredge miners do the same thing.
https://pastebin.com/raw/fipBHYFU (https://pastebin.com/raw/fipBHYFU) It seems to be just the Lyra2REv2 cryptodredge algos which don't save the benchmarks, the others save ok.

Title: Re: [ANN] NicerMiner 0.5.7a - MPH mining app based on NHML v1.9.0.5 Post by: mobileanarchy on August 02, 2018, 03:43:28 AM I'll look into it tomorrow.
Thanks again for the heads up. Title: Re: [ANN] NicerMiner 0.5.7a - MPH mining app based on NHML v1.9.0.5 Post by: mobileanarchy on August 09, 2018, 02:36:46 AM Just an update:
I fixed the CryptoDredge API issue (what a pain). I also upgraded CryptoDredge to version 0.8.3 (which had additional API fixes to improve reliability) Also upgraded EWBF to version 0.5 I'll submit a new version tomorrow. I want to let it run overnight to make sure it's good to go. Cheers.

Unless I missed something Nicerminer is about to be unable to mine Monero which is going to hardfork any moment now! https://coinguides.org/monero-network-upgrade-v8-cnv2-beryllium-bullet/ The version of NHML that supports it is here: https://github.com/nicehash/NiceHashMinerLegacy/releases/tag/1.9.0.7 You have some work to do! :) JCE MIner: You said you had an issue getting it to work? Did you read this? Third Party integration If you're a Mining Tool dev (like Forager or Awsome Miner...) and want to integrate JCE, here's a good command to spawn JCE. Most parameters are similar to other common miners. Code: jce_cn_cpu_miner64 --auto --any --forever --variation FORK --low -o POOL:PORT -u WALLET -p PASSWORD --mport MONITOR SSL And replace: FORK by the Fork number, see list below, or set 0 for automatic POOL:PORT by the pool address (name or IP):(port), e.g. pool.minexmr.com:4444 WALLET by the miner wallet PASSWORD by the miner password MONITOR by the local HTTP monitor server port SSL by either nothing, or "--ssl" if SSL is to be used To monitor the miner, read http (not https!) at localhost:MONITOR and you'll get some simple JSON like https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3281187.0 This is the fastest Monero Miner, especially for older CPUs, and does the previously mentioned optimizations automatically. Again; I recommend taking the time to get it properly integrated into NicerMiner. It's what I'm running and Im liking the 0% ((to you) dev fee!

It's mining away merrily using cryptonight V7... to where??? It's not mining Electronium or any other V7 coin on MPH as far as I can see? Hmmmm...!???! Title: Re: [ANN] NicerMiner 0.5.8 - MPH mining app based on NHML v1.9.0.5 Post by: bitbomber05 on October 31, 2018, 01:28:10 AM New version would be good. @mobileanarchy any plans to update it?
