don't know if it's true until it gets released and someone is the test dummy...  :D ;D

if it's not true i'll just delete this post..

Even if is true it wont change anything, the difficulty will increase a lot and in the end you will earn the same. You might earn more in the beginning till everybody updates it. Now, if only you have the way to then yes, mining is competition, you will only win if you are ahead of other people. I know that nvidia gave a way to some big farms to full hashrate since the start of this lite hash, maybe with this full hashrate for everybody will be lot more fair because at moment only asic owners and big farms are getting some more or less decent profit.

Using RAR seems an odd choice. I don't think I've seen a RAR file in over 10 years.
It was popular before broadband for posting large multipart archives to NNTP, but it isn't freeware.

If this project is a scam it's a pretty intricate one if it can do GPU management. That's a lot of extra
baggage just for a malware decoy.

I think the scams will primarily be people offering modded files.

Likely a scam/malware, be careful!

The attention it got is because of that youtuber, meaning, youtubers only want likes and views, meaning, he will not care whether is a malware or the sort, anyway, dont pay attention to it, too many miners devs trying to get the full hashrate and still nothing close to it, all lhr unlocks are tricking the gpu to think that current task is not related to mining, when the gpu finds out then it let that process to starve, gaming can use 100% of that gpu resource so in theory there is a way to divert that. It will need sometime to unlock fully but it will happen.

This is more or less a virus/scam attempt due to many wanting to jump on this unlock. But needing to do it thru windows and modding is suspicious.

If you type in lhr unlocker into doing a search for youtube you will see over 25+ videos of scam attempts with fake videos by newbie accounts just created with real crypto miner influencers on the photo clip like Son of a tech and Life of a Miner just to draw curious people in and have them follow instructions that have nothing to do with the miner.
More likely keylogger that can compromise your machine and or rig,
Think of you mining to someone elses address due to a exe changing the deposit address and sending your mined coins to this wallet address.
That is why it dangerous to just take these "creators" word when it comes to the this kind of hype.

This is definitely a scam however in my opinion I think Nvidia should be able to release an unlock for this cap when the time is right.

The point of LHR was so gamers would be able to get their hands on GPUs during all these shortages. Eventually the shortages will come to an end and cards will be affordable again, and when that happens Nvidia should unlock all these cards. Most likely it’s possible with a firmware.

Why would Nvidia ever release an unlock?
They put the lock in the first place!
The next model's they release will not have LHR mode enabled if this is the case then.

The past unlocks for lhr cards have been done by devs but only partial ones and when people started hearing about someone (which was made to sound like a russian dev for obvious reasons) unlocking it fully they of course got excited. But shouldn't blindly believe in it.
But they do seem to have the unlocks timed upon new driver releases.

Clearly malware - the github user is three days old, there's no source, you're forced to run it on windows, and also load a driver provided by some random?
Also, the binaries aren't uploaded to the git repository's Releases page (like all the other closed-source apps, like TeamRedMiner or SRBMiner or etc) - probably because they'll flag his shit.

I don't know how much louder it could scream "malware!"

We can cross our fingers and hope this is the case. I’m not so sure. I think they’re likely to keep things as they are and release mining only GPUs that they’ll urge crypto miners to buy. Considering miners are still buying every LHR gpu at msrp they can get their hands on, there’s still much progress to be made. I just don’t see any upside for them to ever unlock them. I hope I’m wrong and you’re right, as limiting hardware doesn’t seem like something I want to see happening in the future, but I have my doubts.

Sooner or later all LHR GPUs will get their full hashrate unlocked, to me it matters that LHR gets full hashrate even if mining isn't profitable anymore, the best time to mine is always bear market, I hope bear market comes this year I can't wait any longer.

I'm with adaseb on this. It was only done to appease gamers, their favorite market. When the supply issue is solved they'll
want to sell to anyone who will buy them and won't want to be at a disadvantage against AMD.

If they get serious about mining GPUs, they aren't now, they won't be recyling old tech.

This is scam - all RTX Ax000 cards have no Hashrate lock  :D so why they need a unlocker? at this point everybody must see the scam in my opinion. A nice looking gui? For a developer is this the last thing to build.
Don´t share this video or link to the "developer" and give him attention! - this is the only thing he want.

I wanted to point out to him also that the RTX Ax000 don't have a hashrate lock.
but then i started reading the threads on his youtube channel and noticed he's bashing anyone that has doubts about it.

This is literally one of the dumbest questions I’ve gotten yet congratulations. Probably because it’s news and it’s relevant to what we’re doing regardless of knowing if it’s real or not it is still an article that came out today that people are going to talk about. It is no different than reading the weather wrong on your local news channel if this happens to be some sort of scam or BS article




just looked at the github..
how has this been forked 79 times when there isn't any there?... so i guess it's going to show up in scams 79 more times?

There's no software posted but he's getting a lot of youtube attention. Maybe there is no malware,
that takes too much effort. Getting youtube views is so much easier.

i've watched his discord channel for a few months now... interesting ideas about mining in a grow tent.

They can unlock but I dont see them doing that for the mass, like I said before they already sold millions of gpus to big farms with the lock unlocked, the only way they will unlock for the masses is only if intel or amd give the masses a better deal than what nvidia does and for that to happen nvidia will still have to be selling 3xxx series if not then forget, nvidia will never have a reason to unlock the 3xxx series if they already have a 4xxx series in stores, true bear market will happen in few months and with that competition to sell new gpus will be fierce, people will buy second hand gpus.

RMP did a video about it, you trolls watchout.

Because it's work to continuously support/improve it on new cards.
Because fighting LHR has become an escalating arms race Nvidia may not want to continue.
Because it puts Nvidia at a self-inflicted competitive disadvantage vs AMD.

Edit: one more

Because if and when Eth goes POS LHR will become dead weight.

This special driver unlock is out on the news everywhere and funnily nobody says if is real or not, what the hell?

https://videocardz.com/newz/nvidia-rtx-lhr-bios-v2-unlocker-supposedly-removes-mining-hashrate-limit-from-ampere-cards

I do have the knowledge to not get caught in the scam attempt but I dont have any lhr gpu so I cant test it here, if you want to test make sure to use on isolated network and computer.

they're just copying and pasting from the github of this questionable unlocker.. ::)

The BS is spreading fast just like BS does lately.

Maybe this is a plot by the government to put trackers in mining rigs for the big crackdown.
It makes about as much sense as anything else.

Edit: This is definitely too hot to touch. In addition to what's already been mentioned, what kind of hacker
posts a slick advance promo? Why create a github account when the driver is to be hosted on another server?
Why such a generic github ID?

I doubt that anything, malware or otherwise, will surface. All the effort was made to drive traffic to youtube.

This guy makes a few good points about it.

Just for the record, I work with various technical (ie not mass market) software on daily basis and most releases of just compressed files I receive are in .rar. It is still widely used amongst devs and I use winrar myself for many, many years.

I'm a developer myself and I also use it, I have been using winrar for more than 20 years and in many cases is better than 7zip, it depends the use case. Anyway, nobody knows anything and yet they are spreading what they dont know for free, something is not right here hehe, I dont own any lhr gpu and will never buy any, so I will not need to download this program.

The point is RAR is a proprietary file format supported only on Windows and requires commercial software, either paid for or pirated.
He's apparently using it to give away freeware. Why not use something more ubiquitous like zip or 7z? It's another one of the many red flags.

Someone raising their hand saying they use it for their Windows job is beside the point. And the fact you can get unrar for Linux
is also beside the point, so don't waste your time correcting me on that either.

I wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole.
probably a generic vbs script to drive traffic "Ohh it only works after donations". type of deal

I was not correcting you because there is nothing to correct and even if there was something to correct I don't think I would, anyway, you see red flag about him using winrar whereas I dont.

I was worried the discussion might be driftiing too far off topic into a debate about compression algorithms.
My intent was to discourage any further discussion about rar, it wasn't directed at anyone in particular.

I just get the feeling it's not a typical crypto stealing scam, the pitch is too weird. I guess we'll find out soon enough.

Yes. What intrigues me about this is the fact editors are posting this everywhere and they dont know if is real or not. It takes few minutes to find out if it is and nobody yet reported, it just needs an lhr gpu to find out. I wonder why is this taking so long. Those miners youtubers have a lot of lhr gpus laying around in their basement.

The actual software hasnt been released yet.  Think he said the 26th but you would think if it was real he would have it in the hands of reputable youtubers already.

I dont know but it looks like in some way about that it can be a crypto stealing scam and bad software that can hack the infected PC.
There are some signs already , as the Github Account is just a few days old and how many Threads and posts we have seen in the last weeks and month here on the Forum
with fake github accounts for the " LHR-Pill and such things. I would be not surprised if this is something similar .
Definitely would be careful with that when there is something to download .

It is similar - i described it well - how the hell will he boost the hashrate for RTX A2000, RTX A4000 and so on? This cards have no hashrate lock!!!! If he really unlock something then RTX A4000 and RTX 3070 must have the same hashrate.
This fake pills also say they can boost hashrate for complete optimized old cards - but people still fall for it.

I am scared about the fact that so many youtubers, hardware tech foren and so on make news about this "unlocker" and do no own research. They give him a lot of range with it for his scam, and that they don´t delete this wrong news.

If it worked, then either the software was sold for money and this method was tested by blogger miners. Otherwise, they are viruses. I would immediately stop watching such videos if I saw a series of RTX Axxx video cards in the description.

scam

Dont know why so many youtubers and other people making this so big , i guess the most of them doing it because they maybe get some clicks on there channels.
And i just have seen a new Video from the same youtuber that OP has posted on the first post in here , and its looking like its confirmed that this LHR-Unlocker is a Scam.
The Video was uploaded today and here is the Link : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2luvudyqtJk (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2luvudyqtJk)

LHR unlock isn't really needed anyway. Many unlockers make comparisons against FHR but
FHR isn't well defined. If a card was never released with FHR there's no way to know what the value is.
Even comparing original FHR cards with their LHR successors may not be accurate.

I get +37% on a 3070ti by running a decoy process. Is that FHR? Maybe, maybe not. If the decoy
process happens to be a miner of a different algorithm maybe the combo is better than FHR,
whatever that really means.

LHR is dying fast, whether Nvidia achnowledges it or not. There will be no funeral, it will just die alone
and forgotten.

So i watched a live stream where they breaking down the files and what it does !
You can watch the recorded live stream here : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PR6lQqQq_II (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PR6lQqQq_II)
After you downloaded and install the things from Github and starting the program it will download a driver file.
It has 18 detections with Malwares ,Trojans and Viruses in it , so its confirmed its Fake and Malware.
 
Fake Driver file :  511.65-desktop-win64bit-international-nsd-dch-whql.exe , with just a size of 155.00 KB  , a normal driver file would be around 500 MB big.

I've always hated stub installers for this very reason, they can download malware through the back door
via secondary download. It's safer to download a full installer, inspect it, and do the installation offline,
But it's much less convenient.

I disagree.  There's no incentive for them to release an unlock for gpus they've already sold.  If intel or amd gives a better deal, then they will counter it with the release of hashing only gpu models or unlocked future gpu models.  Backtracking to unlock hashrate would send the signal that they don't care about gamers and miners that paid top dollar for unlocked cards would also be pissed.  It's a lose-lose.  Piss off gamers, piss off miners, reduce future demand of higher hashrate gpus, and shine further light on the fact that they did this in the first place.  I don't see any upside whatsoever.  I'm sure someone will crack the lock at some point, but I have serious doubts as to whether it will be nvidia or not.  I just don't see any upside for them to do it.  I won't even touch on the added warranty repair costs that miners must be adding to their bottom line over the years. 

This is coming from someone who owns a LHR gpu from nvidia.  Expecting them to unlock it is wishful thinking in my opinion, but I love your optimism.  :)

Sure, not to unlock what is already sold, unlock what they want to sell. Nvidia dont care about sold gpus, they care only about unsold gpus. AMD at least cared about Polaris, AMD offered a dag fix, nvidia would never do that, example 1070, my 1070 used to do 35mhs on eth, last time I tested it, it was doing 25.

I don't know what to say,many Bitcoin influences on Linkedin was pointing out at a RTX 3080 ti full hash rate as they called it 115 Mhsh.Personally I do not believe it until I see it proven with a video,in youtube many people claim a lot of things but promising and delivering are two different things.I am waiting hopefully that maybe I am wrong and these guys are right,it is time finally for the LHR bullshit to come to an end and what a glorious day it would be if it finally comes.All miners should pray for this.

I think that is achievable by flashing a 3090 bios to 3080ti.  I don't have the balls to do it, but I've seen some results of people who have.
