KBMiner

KBMiner is one of the fastest AMD and Nvidia miner to mining Grin and AE(aeternity) , especially on AMD cards.
KBMiner was developed by the Minerbabe team and is available for download and use.

The Minerbabe team developed Minerbabe OS, a professional GPU mining system that has been run on more than 30,000 rigs, it is easy to use, stable, feature-rich and free.

Devfee

• KBminer supports mining Grin with 2% of devfee, half of which is for Grin Team.
• KBminer supports mining AE with 1% of devfee.

Usage

1. KBminer is available for download and use. url: https://github.com/mcarloai/minerbabe-kbminer/releases
2. Find the script file for this coin.

• Grin29: run_grin29.sh
• Grin31: run_grin31.sh
• AE: run_ae.sh

3. Change the address and account information in the script.
4. Run the script and start mining.

Do you have the power consumption numbers for the cards?

I would be also interested.

So ... you could not agree and outbid other developers ))))

What kind of Trojan horses managed to inject into the miner?

Windows version any time soon?

New miners need to be tested by the community in isolated environments like virtual machines and also need to be verified by IT professionals that no trojan horses or other malware is there , only then can be given out to the community.

SWAP coin support?

Nicehash support?

NO, we have not tested it. Power consumption can be reduced by adjusting DPM. You can do this on MInerbabe OS, www.minerbabe.com

You can test, talk is cheap, the hashrate will prove it.

We are working on it, it will not be long.

KBMiner is one of Grin's earliest miner, and we got the recommendation of the Grin developer. You can go to Grin forum to confirm.

We have supported. 

Very interesting swap support for amd 4gb

We have supported.

I am ready to participate in beta testing of miner for swap coin on my rx570-580 4gb ;)

Yes, support.

On the system 5 * R390 I get an error
What is natural since I have AMD cards

Type "nvidia-smi" to check CUDA version. Only CUDA 10 is supported.

Windows version?

We will release it soon.

I will be waiting for this version. Thanks.

Me too.

 
  I got this error:

    It works fine now, I changed only the pool to grin31.f2pool.com:13654

Hello!

Kbminer 1.2 version don't work with grin31 on Hive OS. Cards 1080 Ti. Trying on sparkpool and f2pool, filling by tags (%WAL% for example) and manualy, with and without password, rebooting miner and farm don't helps.
If you started kbminer grin31 on hive, help me please whit configuration!

Let us communicate the problem here https://t.me/joinchat/Kh4-K1JgqDIzOeqzX9HCxA

error: too many positional arguments at '--grin-cuckatoo31'

I trying ​​​​​​​--algorithm grin-cuckatoo31 --pass x --pool stratum+tcp://grincuckatoo31.eu.nicehash.com:3372 --user xxxx@grincuckatoo31.eu.nicehash.com:3372

the format of args passing to kbminer is totally correct.

but the error message shows that your add an additional ‘-’ before ‘grin-cuckatoo31’, which will be treated as an unrecognized parameter.

please remove that ‘-’ and try again

I don't add an additional ‘-’ before ‘grin-cuckatoo31’,

Please add C29s algo for Swap coin.  I would love to use this on my gpus.

I can assume that the developers will add algo only when it is no longer profitable, as of today, there are more profitable coins on green gpu.

What are more profitable coins on green?

Now nobody will tell you, if the information is in public, then it is no longer profitable! There are a lot of social resources (announcements section, reddit, discord ....) to search for profitable coins. In addition, Google has not been canceled ;)

You can in a personal ...

Now in order to engage in mining and make a profit you need to look for new promising coins. Mine top coins unprofitable.

All top coins are unprofitable as probably everyone knows about them. Now profitable coins are those about which very few people know and it is on the exchange. You can also consider the option of mining for the future, that is, until a new coin appears on the exchange.

Greetings.

Any chance of KBMiner in the future supporting in the Swap [XWP] mining algo, Cuckaroo29s (a variant of Grin's Cuckaroo29)? I've seen in earlier posts in this thread questions about Swap support, but there's nothing in this regard in the readme file of the software.
If possible, please, think about that possibility. The fast growing community would be very grateful, since we need all the help possible (Swap hasn't any premine or dev fee).
If you're interested, there are the differences between the algorithms:

Grin Cuckaroo29     -> Cycle length: 42 bits / Nonce lenght: 8 bytes
Swap Cuckaroo29s -> Cycle length: 32 bits / Nonce lenght: 4 bytes

For the share verification, the cycle needs to be packed according to the reduced length.

really one of the best miners for this coin. I also dug this coin at the beginning, but now there are already a lot of people. switched to another coin Until the coin is new then it digs well and then when many people are flooded, then the earnings are falling very much

I join the question: VDS on vega does not start! ... Vega is also amd ...  :-\ ;D

Anyone tested it with RX570 4gb on aeternity? Is it profitable? How many ae's should we expect daily? Or anyone know aeternity mining calculator?

Hi! How can i solve this issue?

KBminer doesn't work (for nvidia cards at least) on HiveOS. It auto-defaults to "vds" despite me specifying other algos in the flight sheets (C29, C31 etc). Could be a wrong implementation in HiveOS, just figured I'd share here anyway.

It's works ... but solver matrix it's too big (3G and 4G cards didn't works with kbminer and works perfectly with gminer). Also driver 410+ (CUDA 10) needed

KBminer doesn't work for nvidia 1080ti.

As far as I've been able to tell, nothing since KBMiner 1.2.2 actually works with Grin? I was looking to see what improvements might have been out there for 4GB AMD cards, but it seems like that's it, excluding lolminer somehow doing the c31 algo on them. did kbminer actually drop support for c29 or did it just change something making it incompatible with old configs?

Dear, I really look forward to the function of the failover pool in pools.txt files

Cuckarood29 will no longer be active on Grin's 2nd Hard Fork around Jan 15, 2020,
to be replaced by Cuckaroom29:

https://www.grin-forum.org/t/next-pow-cuckaroom-unveiled-at-grincon1

Cuckaroom miners can first be tested on floonet which hard forks around Dec 19.

Is there possible to implement Cuckaroo29 BFC algorithm?
