Forager is an advanced open source multi-pool / multi-algo profit switching miner

It will use profit information from supporting pools to make sure you mine the most profitable algorithm at all times.
You can also use WhatToMine and CoinCalculators virtual pools for profit data and mine to pools which dont provide profit information, or even your custom pools.

Using integration with MSI Afterburner (https://www.msi.com/page/afterburner), it will get real time power usage and use this information to calculate how much you pay and adjust the profitability data.

- Recommended MSI Afterburner version is 4.5.0 or newer
  prior versions don't support Intel CPU power usage and may not fully support your GPU

- Avermore and Sgminer X16r/X16s (AMD) during benchmarking submit "fake" shares that get rejected by the pools.
  Ignore this and after benchmarking it will work normally.

- XMR-Stak (AMD and NVIDIA) doesn't support multiple groups per GPU Vendor (2+ AMD or NVIDIA) out of the box.
  Of first run it will create "GroupName-Algorithm.txt" files for each group that you can edit once to include only the relevant GPUs.


Mixed rigs (AMD+NVIDIA) may have problems selecting specific devices. Use at your own risk.


Disclaimer:
The miners used in Forager come from reasonably reputable sources and tested by community.
There is SHA256 validation for miner downloads to make sure they are not replaced by fake ones.
However, I do not take any responsibility if any of the miners contains harmful code.
Therefore, NEVER keep coin wallets or other sensitive information on the computer you run Forager on.
If you get hacked, loose your coins, burn you video card or cpu, get your personal photos stolen or your cat poisoned - it's your fault.

reserve for updates

Why use this?

"Profitable" is based on that you sell the coins you mined everyday. Eth have been most profitable for the last year.

Forager reports that zpool does not support ZCL payments. But it does :D

Right... They changed it's status, so it's not showing

Quick fix would be to just add it on line $82, or comment the Exit on line #86 in Zpool.ps1
I'll think of a better validation, or just trust the user...

edit: disabled validation in master branch

Why there is no one Claymore's miner?

All Claymore miners are already there
ClayCrypto-11.3 (AMD)
ClayDual-11.7 / ClayETH-11.7 (AMD,NVIDIA)
ClayNeoScrypt (AMD)
ClayZEC-12.6 (AMD)
ClayCrypto-4.0 (CPU)

Did Claymore release any other miner that is missing (apart from Claymore XPM)?

Ohhh. Sorry. I just read on 1st post and there is no info about them...

Yeah, I did post only the changes from Megaminer, but in all I have 70+ unique miners.
The chance is if you want it - I probably have it ;)

Looks nice, are there any of your own fees included in this?

can i use on rx550 ?
can i use without AB ? because AB not works with > 8 GPU
how to integrated with other pools ? (not on list)

regards

By default it is set to 10 minutes per day, but it can be changed based on your generosity in config.ini ;)




Specific miner may or may not support specific card, but Forager doesn't have limitations for specific cards
I tested even Intel integrated GPUs, but disabled it in code due to extreme inefficiency

AB integration is not necessary and is OFF by default
You can run "DeviceList.bat" to see detected devices to verify all your cards are detected

Without AB you will not get exact power consumption readings, but you can edit "Includes\amd-cards-tdp.json" to add estimated TDP of your card to get cost estimations
I will add more cards to the default file based on official TDP numbers

Additional pools can be added in MyPools.ps1 (see existing examples there)
If a pool provides profit estimations, and is large enough, I will consider adding it to Forager

Tried out your miner, i like these multiminer things
few issues:
1: http://www.gandalph3000.com/ gets webaccess blocked on my ESET, i dont really wanna whitelist a random site for downloads...
2: yuzi-co github mkxminer 310.zip download fails after taking forever to do so (few minutes,time is money :( ) . deleting the json file for it bypassed this error for me as a workaround for now. all other downloads seem fine. failing to delete the json file resulted in endless download loop tho :(
3: i cant make CPU mining work, even tho i ENABLED it in my config.ini :(    8700k. tried with option "99" to see if any pools would use it, but nope :(

anyways, nice tool, hope its OOB usable for me one day :)

This is official website of Cast XMR miner, which it tries to download. And ESET probably blocking it for distributing "Evil Crypto Miners"
Even if it is moved, there is no guarantee that it will not be blocked sometime again

This one is the largest miner in my collection, for reason unknown to me the developer made it weight close to 100MB, so depending on your connectivity it might take ages
I will check timeout parameters, perhaps I can solve this

This is strange, I'll recheck the logic


Thank you, and keep watching, I'm constantly updating ;)

Forager 1.1 released
https://github.com/yuzi-co/Forager/releases (http://bit.ly/2FGwpnZ)

Changelog:
- Improve Afterburner error reporting and handling
- Update WhatToMine, FairPool pools
- Update Ethminer, Avermore, zFast, Xmrig cpu, Xmr-Stak-Aeon, SgminerKL, Sgminer4ward
- Change mining wallet validation on pools to warning
- Some device detection fixes
- Download fixes for some miners
- Code fixes

Tried starting it up, it starts mining zcash and never tries anything else, despite being very low in terms of profits.

Forager 1.2 released
https://github.com/yuzi-co/Forager/releases (http://bit.ly/2FGwpnZ)

Changes:
- New and Updated Miners:
  - Ccminer Allium, JCEminer, zFast, Bminer, Excavator, SRBminer, Avermore, SuprminerSP
- Support for miners with limited pool support: Excavator - NH only, zFast - MPH only
- CPU feature detection for Cpu miners
- Gpu Groups created by Device name + Memory amount (example: Ellesmere8), to better benchmark mixed rigs
- DeviceList.bat generates suggested GpuGroups that you can use as is, or modify to your liking
- Corrected miner fee calculations
- Correctly detect fee changes for 2/3GB cards with Claymore Eth
- Support excluding algos for Hashrate watchdog
- All miners have SHA256 checksum verification
- Some optimizations and small bug fixes

That is very strange and I would need more if this is indeed happening
Can you provide log output and profits screen?

Sorry I was mistaken.  I was just impatient and didn't realize how long benchmarking took :)

However, I have noticed that forager will attempt to connect to us-east.hub.miningpoolhub.com:20580 and europe.hub.miningpoolhub.com:20580 and times out on both before connecting to miningpoolhub.  Unsure if this is a problem with miningpoolhub, I was unable to find the relevant code to where this url would be.

Ok, found the issue with mph, they report incorrect Urls on their API since last monero fork
Ill add a fix to the pool

edit: fixed in master branch and reported to MPH

when i tried to mine x16r, i get invaild shares. how do i stop getting it?

The miners used for x16r (also x16s) have benchmarking mode which uses a defined algo order to be able to get stable speed and when it submits shares, it gets invalid shares
After initial benchmarking it should run normally

I don't know why the dev decided the miner will actually submit shares in benchmark mode

hi bro,

as promised, your tool is now cited on my Github page with a link to that topic, and as you requested i added a http server to monitor, to enhance integration :)

- thanks!

Thank you, new version and API support already committed to master branch :)

i am wondering why i have 2 instance when i mine with 3 x 570 and 1 x 580. can i put all gpu into one instance or not? if yes, how am i going to do it?

add device group definition to config.ini

You can run DeviceList.bat to generate a string for your pc and modify it to your needs


One group with 4 GPUs will looks like this:

GpuGroups = [{"GroupName":"Ellesmere8","Type":"AMD","Devices":"0,1,2,3","PowerLimits":"0"}]

https://s22.postimg.cc/x40oxtetp/Screenshot_20180607-122021.jpg (https://postimg.cc/image/x40oxtetp/)

in the Phoenix miner topic ;)

It's actually already in the master branch, although disabled by default since it doesn't work with wrapper and they don't provide API yet

can i enable it?

copy miner file from "Additional Miners" to "Miners" and see if it works for you. No guarantees though...

wow gj Thanks for take your time and make this...

can you implement a new Lyra2REv2 miner for AMD?

https://github.com/CryptoGraphics/lyclMiner

thanks

In current state of the miner, there would be lots of changes to Forager code required to fully support it

I have it running locally, but the device configuration is still manual due to miner's requirement of using PCIeBus id

Are you able to at least get the hashrate to display in Forager?  I'm not worried about the manual configuration of the devices.  I would think you would be able to implement it along the lines of how excavator is done.

looks like they're going to try something over at MPM.
https://github.com/MultiPoolMiner/MultiPoolMiner/issues/1894

Hashrate display works. I pushed a preliminary version, but you will need to set the devices yourself in the pattern file

And to implement PCIBus I need to rewrite lots of stuff in the device detection, but i hope the developer will change the device selection

Added lyclMiner support in automatic device detection mode (without defined GpuGroups)

Trying it now..  benchmarked fine.  things appear to be working fine

thanks

getting an error.  four gpu in system.  but lyclMiner says device1 is wrong. "PCIeBusId" is incorrect inside "Device1" section

here's the error

https://i.imgur.com/qOx3otn.png

Here's the config that was made up.

https://i.imgur.com/4MMIGss.png



might be related to a problem that was talked about in the discord channel... don't know yet

Is there a difference between config generated by lyclMiner and the one generated by Forager?
If there is, can you post it? Which one is giving issues?

p.s. which Discord channel?

config generated by lyclMiner

https://i.imgur.com/xVDp7R9.png

one generated by Forager

https://i.imgur.com/4MMIGss.png

lycl generated config works fine.     Forager config gives errors.

so it seems that it isn't lyclMiner issue discussed in discord channel.   I'll send you the discord invite later... i found it in one of the forums about vertcoin.   it's in the official vertcoin discord channel

ok... i'm not seeing the issue on another system that has 4 vega64 cards... i'm only seeing the issue on the system with 4 RX570 cards... might be lyclminer or it might be a system issue.  i'll have to investigate it later.

lyclMiner version 0.1.5 released    Amd Lyra2v2 miner.

https://github.com/CryptoGraphics/lyclMiner/releases

updated, hopefully detection will work better now

define devices manually in pattern file if it doesnt work

Please add the Wild Keccak algo support

It is supported
Keccak is supported, not Wild Keccak

Edit:
Wild Keccak requires a scratchpad which is coin specific and its complicated to add it to an algo switching miner...

Although I will look into it )

there was an error in the config file when i tried to run and errored out.

If i manually put the devices in the pattern, then it worked

fyi... you didn't create a lyclMiner-0.1.5.json file..

all created and updated now )

Wild Keccak is now supported (on AMD and CPU), but disabled by default

Due to high initialization time (downloading/updating scratchpad), algo switching to Wild Keccak is counter productive. Only use it if you manually mine this algo

hi,

Just tried the latest Forager code (cloned from github), as MegaMiner seems abandoned.. there are, however, some issues.

There are a couple error messages repeated before every new interval:


Doesn't seem to cause any problems, though.

However on two out of three systems I tested, one hard crashes, and one goes into an endless error loop, something like "cannot kill process "IDLE". Unfortunately the error is not written into the log, have to catch and copy it again.

This is all on Nvidia rigs where MegaMiner has been running fine and stable for many months.

Is there  a way to disable specific algos for specific pools.

reason is that when dual mining with claymore, zpool and ahash will show hi reject rates (50%) for keccak, but nicehash will be ok.

thanks.

I'll take a look. I believe the code throwing the error is redundant now
And I hope you can provide something so I can check the issue you are experiencing.
Send me the logs, even if they don't show the errors, maybe I'll discover something since I know how it should work :)


I will add such option, I also noticed this behavior

Fixed in latest commit


Added now in latest commit

It forces me to redownload vcredistx86 for every benchmark and it makes it annoying to benchmark because i have to sit there the whole time and wait for it to ask me to redownload/repair vcredist86, then press "no" to skipit so I can continue benchmarking. Please fix

Solved in last commits

hi,

with latest code the endless error loop still occurs:


last useful entries in logfile are


this happens after some time during the benchmarking which really takes forever and repeats on each restart since there are so many miners that fail -- most fail right at startup (close immedately after being started), and the script usually catches the failing miner -- but before the endless error loop happens it apparently doesn't detect that the miner process is not running, just sits there with 0% load until the interval ends and then goes into the loop described above.

I will fix the "Cannot stop process" error

Full log would be useful to identify why do we even get to such state, can you please post it as well?


update:
Changed process launch and process kill logic to better handle errors. Available in last git repo commit

thx for the kill process update.

Does anyone here actually use this with NVidia miners? I'm getting crashes and hard resets all over the place.

My list of excluded miners is growing (every time a miner crashes the system I remove it):

There are definitely NVIDIA users.
I cannot test NVIDIA miners myself due to lack of hardware, but I know it works for many users.

If a miner fails to run on your system, in most cases its a driver/overclock issues or hardware incompatibility.
Try running the problematic miners yourself to verify the issue. The downloaded miners are in the "Bin" folder
If they fail when you run them yourself, there isn't much I can help. You can try requesting help in the relevant miner topic.

It's also possible that the parameters I use to start the miners are incorrect or incomplete.
You can check the exact parameters used to launch the miners in the log file and test them.
If you find a configuration error, I will gladly fix it.

Benchmarking with mkxminer gives wrong localspeeds, it summorize for only one card and not multiple on my AMD rig.

Known problem?

I think regression in wrapper code from adding lyclMiner. I will check it tomorrow.

In any case, lyclMiner should give significantly better hashrate, so if it works for you, mkxMiner is less important )

You seem a good guy working on your software so, I decided to give Forager a try:

I have some rigs, always mixed AMD&Nvidia mining in the past Neoscrypt with AMD during the day, CN during the night , and using Nemos miner for NVidia


Download latest release 1.8

Script is saying that there is a new version 1.7z available... not sure if its updated( or olddated in this case)
automaticly or not

I selected ahashpool&zergpool cutting the algos in half, exclusing all Asic related

Sw is saying 15 miner 100 combination.

but

MKXminer can't be downloaded ( I have a 100 MB Adsl)strange..

lyclMiner ? I haven't seen any batch ,json ps1 file related to it so, may be its the

it have taken 2 hour to download and haven't finished yet.

There is a quick windows popup from time to time but I think we are stuck in one of the CCminer releases Tpruvot I think. I suspect something on Gitub ?


Isn't much easier to at least download one AMD and one Nvidia sw and start benchmarking ?
meanwhile downloading other?

I will keep tryng for another hour, then I will stop and I will try again on monday

latest is 18.07 (yes, i changed version numbering)

If you have problems downloading specific miner, get the url from the miner json file, download it manually and put in Forager/Downloads folder

Alright, i will give this miner a shot. there are so many out nowdays ive started to loose track.

fixed mkxMiner for multi-gpu in last commit

Claymore dual 11.9 released... fixes keccak rejects

So, is this just a ripoff of https://github.com/tutulino/Megaminer ?   You didn't even change the file structure?

Yes, it's a fork of Megaminer, (which is a fork of MultiPoolMiner in itself)
Why would I need to change file structure if it works for me?
The parts that don't work for me - I have rewritten (just see my commit count on git (950+ commits, vs 350+ of tutulino) ;))

Plus I have added new functionality, better logic, new miners, new pools and update regularly ;)

Error api BloskMasters and BloskMasterłsoin a week. Can anyone help?

they stopped returning data on http://blockmasters.co/api/currencies, so BlockMasterCoins will not work until it's fixed

I have pushed to the git a fix for BlockMasters pool.
If you don't use git version, you can manually download and replace the pool file: https://github.com/yuzi-co/Forager/raw/master/Pools/BlockMasters.ps1

can you implement an enable specific algo for specific pools?

..kinda like your disable specific algo for specific pools..

thanks

Possible, but is it really necessary?

EDIT 5mins later:
Nevermind, added support, untested though... See latest git

Thank you very much

i figured out how to do it with the current release... i just used the exclude algo per pool feature.. and removed the algo i wanted to mine, and left the rest of the algos there.

so you can probably delete it.

thanks though

Error api nicehash connect a few days. Can anyone help?

support for lolminer v0.41?

"So what is this miner good for: at the moment it mines Equihash 144.5 (BTG, BTCZ, LitecoinZ, HeptaCoin, Safecoin, Snowgem, ZEL) and Equihash 96.5 (Minexcoin) OpenCL based, so for Nvidia and AMD.
The miner is kind of a successor to my Minexcoin (MNX) miner you can find here as well as the 0.38 preview miner for Equihash 144.5." - Lolliedieb

nvm... just saw the other post here:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4724735.msg43135035#msg43135035

i.e. work in progress

is there a way to set the fan speed within the config.ini file?

I'm running afterburner enabled, and it resets my fans to default speen when initially started (i run them at 80-90%).  I have to manually set the fan speeds back to my setting after a restart.  happens mostly on nvidia gpu systems,
 and vega gpu systems.  These systems i normally have over/under clocked the gpu/memory voltage/timing.   i make sure that afterburner is set up not to change the clocks at startup.

thanks.

You can set custom fan curve in Afterburner settings

I do, but when forager starts with afterburner enabled, it changes my fan settings.

I don't change anything on Forager start, only read monitoring information from Afterburner shared memory.
But it's possible that powerlimit setting is resetting something, although its out of my control.
I was thinking of adding AB presets, so maybe that will fix it.

Hi, I'm currently running nicehash legacy and would like to try forager. I have some rx550s, rx560s, rx580s, 1050tis on 4 mobos, one has i7 that can mine.

Some questions:

1) Blockchain drivers - I've only had stability with the old beta driver, do I need to update?
2) Straps - I have 1750 to uppers, can I do better?
3) xmr-stak hand entered double threads gives me best hash rates, is this covered by forager?
4) 1050ti plus rx 550 on the same rig - will this work with forager?

Thanks!

1. Not required, but recommended. Some miners will show better stability and speed with recommended drivers. Don't forget to enable Compute mode if you upgrade the drivers from Blockchain
2. Depends on your memory maker. In most cases memory specific straps will show much better performance (although might limit mem overclocking).
3. Forager doesn't modify auto-generated xmr-stak config files. You can edit them to your liking with settings optimized for your system
4. In most cases works without issues

ps. XMR-Stak miners are disabled by default. You can copy them from "Additional Miners" to "Miners" to enable them

Thank you for fast response! I'm trying out one rig, I installed amd 18.6.1 driver. See how it goes.

Benchmarks are going very smoothly, I am impressed!

I am working on rig that has 3 rx 580 and it is doing best on cn-heavy so far, which I expect. I am only benchmarking nicehash currently. Is there another pool that can beat nicehash earnings that I should add?

Thank you!  :)


I would suggest several pools with auto exchange:
MiningPoolHub, Zpool, Zergpool and BlockMasters
They have more algos, allow you to exchange to LTC (and other coins if you prefer) and have lower payout threshold and pool fees

Ahashpool and Blazepool are also good, but exchange to BTC only
If you only want exchange to BTC, you can check all of the above and see which works best for you


If you don't mind having lots of coins and wallets, try using WhatToMine and CoinCalculators virtual pools for profit estimations with Suprnova, FairPool or even add your own pools (see MyPools.ps1 for example)

i like autoexchange to btc or ltc. I've tried most of those pools, did a bunch of tracking a few months ago. I found that the pools really misrepresented the profits and would never actually pay as they claimed. Nicehash has always been reliable. I'm just wondering if the situation has changed.

Also, miningpoolhub hasn't made many updates to coins/algos - is that true?

You can add a profit factor for them, for the cases when they really jump high in profit.
But Nicehash is indeed pretty stable in this regards

True, no real changes for a long time. Just updates for existing coins

I remember there was a profit factor in megaminer with some default values, but I did not see it in Forager. Maybe I will look at the situation after I get the other rigs switched to Forager/nicehash.

Maybe some people mining with Forager can make a comment on the other pools they are finding useful compared to nicehash? SOme recommendation?

This thread is a little quiet, I am surprised because Forager is working MUCH better than MM or MPM.

Changelog:
- Miner updates:
  - CCMiner Enemy 1.15a
  - CCMiner Dumax 0.9.4
  - SuprMiner 7.0
  - WildRig 0.10.1
  - SRBMiner 1.6.6

- Reduce new version checks
- Update XDNA to Hex algo on SuprNova

Hi! Pls add pools from a https://miner.rocks/

The profit factor is there. In general 0.8 (as in 80%) would be reasonably safe

Thank you for the kind words :)




I will look into it )

Please, print some results of working. What do you get with 1-8 gtx 1080 ti per day?

I don't own any 1080Ti's
Your profits will depend on your hashrates and current profitability

I'm very interested in this program as not used before.

Do I need to configure all the coin wallets on machine, download them all and create addresses.

Also what are the future plans for this tool? you make dev fee cut from it?

What do you own? Just give us information.

You can use autoexchange pools and get paid in BTC/LTC (depending on pool support) if you don't want to mess with many wallets
You can also add specific coin wallets and use WhatToMine and CoinCalc for profit calculations for pools that don't autoexchange

I am continuously working on it for more than half a year already, and plan to continue updating for newer miners and pools
As for features, I have already added many features not present in other tools, and I'm open for suggestions for more ;)

There is a configurable Donation period, by default set to 15mins/day (~1%)

This is what it looks like currently with RX480. Note that CPU is not mining because profit below configured MinProfit (in my case 0.5$)
Obviously hashrates will depend on your hardware

Will test in on my rigs

I have several rigs with 1070, 1070ti and 1080ti cards...


1070 armor
1070ti armor
1070ti aorus
1080ti strix oc
1080ti turbo
1080ti aorus

i use them with afterburner settings 70 power, and stock settings at the moment.

Glad to see that Forager took back NVidia miners cleanup and algo optimizations after tests with greenTea https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4862278.0 :)

4ward, please send me a personal message, because your settings do not allow me to send it myself. I have one question that needs discussion.

This neat tool is really amazing, however i have a few open questions:
On Restart does it always start to benchmark? How to avoid this, as it takes really long time to test the non-working Algo-Miner-Gpu-combinations...
There are many miners which are not working, only a few support my current setup, how do i exclude those miner-software from benchmarking?
How to force only one errorous test per tested miner-algo combination, not 3?
thx

On restart it runs a benchmark on any non-benchmarked combinations

You can disable non-working miners using "ExcludeMiners_AMD =" where AMD is the device group. You can also simply remove the miner json files, but if you do it in config, you can more easily migrate your changes to new version

Currently its hardcoded to 3 attempts

Also, there is a new version in the git master (still not as a release) with less miners active by default (without the less profitable). They are still available but disabled by default

What is your current hardware/os/drivers? Which miners you have issues with?
I can probably optimize the setup more, but I need more details :)

just 2 1060 for now :-) testing purpose atm.
What files do i need to replace? currently using latest release from github.

this is the change commit:
https://github.com/yuzi-co/Forager/commit/4f3091d178fefedd81a5174ed588ac7a9be7e6dd

Also, if you are using drivers with CUDA 9.1, it might explain the issues with some miners

In most cases I only include CUDA 9.2 miner versions (when there are several option), and some miners only exist for 9.2
I need to think how can I support several versions

currently i have serious problems gettin driver later than 388 installed, the driver install is crashing , black screen, unresponsive, after restart windows tries to repair, fails, restarts, crashes and thats it. will try to set restore point and do a manual driver update after basic windows downloaded driver.
yesterday i had to reinstall windows 3 times... i hate it

I'll do something for the 9.1 cuda, but it will take some time

no hassle, still many miners are working, will let the benchmark run until all miner-algo-combis are complete, then i try to update nvidia again, hope the 398 will then be working.

Hi mate, that's pretty cool stuff here, but I have only vegas rig, could you include this pools in it? https://thepiratemine.nl

Hi,

I noticed your great tool you are building. Very good initiative! I like it. Im the owner of a mining pool and i would like to ask if you could add our mining pools to your multi algorithm switcher.

Hi,

I hope you can help me out. I did a big rework today, shuffled cards, reloaded Windows, downloaded Forager (from master repo this morning). I've got Forager and the miner locking up over and over after just a few minutes of running and getting couple of shares. I have cut the config down to Nicehash + Heavy algo.

I put mixed AMD cards in the rig and I wonder if that is causing the problem. 2 rx 560 and 2 rx 580. I guess I'll try pulling cards next...

I have things running perfectly and then I always break it.  >:(

There isn't much I can do if miner hangs, but a few suggestions:
1. Make sure you set all cards to Compute mode
2. Try setting "GpuGroupByType = Disabled" in config. This way it will create 2 groups, one for 580, one for 560 and might help with some miners
3. See if its the same miner every time and exclude it in config

Thanks for answer. I just need to figure it out. This might be useful:

enemy 1.17 out..5-15% faster on x16r

updated in master branch

I can see good result of new free  X16r/X16s/C11 Spmod-git #9

neverending stream of updates )

If only AMD miners were developed as actively...

SuprMiner SPmod updated in git

hello i am trying to use this program and i got it running now on 1 coin

but is there a way to let it select between MiningPoolHub and ThePirateMine because if i run the start.bat it only gives a a few pools to select (12 i think) and thepiratemine is not in that list

a other question i have is you can not see if its submiting blocks or somting or do i need to pres some button? somting like this https://thumb.ibb.co/jS85Ne/result.png(from a other miner)

on your miner i just have this: https://ibb.co/hCpehe also i noticed is not giving the poolspeed it says 0

1. PirateMine doesn't provide profit information and therefore doesn't have Automatic profile (only manual)

You can use CoinCalc and/or WhatToMine virtual pools for profit information and put the following in config.ini

But keep in mind that not all coins are supported by CoinCalc and WhatToMine.



2. Forager starts the actual miners and monitors them, but the miners run in minimized windows. You can click on them in the taskbar to see what they submit.
Regarding PoolSpeed in the interface - MPH reports it with delay and PirateMine doesn't report it, so it always shows 0

You can also change in config.ini to make them always show:

What information do you need? Because i had a PM with you and i sended all the information you needed. Please tell me what you need.

If we are talking about profitability, it's an estimation of how much you earn for your hashrate (normalized to BTC, to be able to compare. This means that the coin must have an active exchange)
If you want to implement this, you need exchange rates of the coins you have on the pool and I can help you with the formula (send me a PM).

For the PoolSpeed in the interface, I need to know the api endpoint for specific pools that return current hashrate for wallet + worker (also for wallet balance, to be able to show balance in the app)

Bminer 10.2 and SRBminer 1.6.7 released.

both updated in master branch

It would be an ideal option to put * .json files under the updated munters if the program itself was not updated. And the seats are smaller and much faster.

Hi,

Forager is working great on three rigs, including mixed amd and nvidia. You are doing great job with this profit switcher!

I'm getting reliable results on Nicehash, but I wish I could increase my profits by adding in one more pool. I did some tests with zpool and the results were dismal. If you were to pick one other pool (other than miningpoolhub) which do you think gives best profits?

I also am still having trouble with rig of mixed amd cards. I think some of the miners get conflicting gpu ids. Then there are two miners running and fighting for the same card. Is that possible? I haven't looked at that in a while, but considering to try again. This time will include Vega card, extra tricky.

Thank you! :)

Try Blockmasters or ZergPool

It's possible, unfortunately I can't test all possible configurations :)

Please let me know which miners have this issue. I can check if I can change miner config flags or find a workaround :)

4ward, good looking miner, but just a few questions,

How to disable Nvidia on a mixed rig
What core and clock speeds do you recommend for 480 and 580's
I normally run MSI with power limit -35, do i leave this as is or do I change it to 0 and will Forager work out the most profitable?
Also how to separate and group different cards, the 480 and 580 are all in one group as Ellesmere8.

Thanks

run DeviceList.bat, it will generate an example GpuGroups value for all the devices you have
you can then edit it and put in the Config.ini file

an example RX580+RX480 groups would look something like (this also disables NVIDIA, since there is no NVIDIA group defined):

If you leave "PowerLimits": "0", it will not be changed by Forager.

Regarding core/mem, since different algos work differently, I would recommend to use a memory timings mod, and undervolt gpu/mem (depends on your cards, but for me 1060 on gpu and 900 mem works great on rx480 with Uber 3.1 timings)

enemy 1.18 available

also, could you make files for the 32bit versions?  (just put them in the "additional miners" folder.. .thanks

How to run Forager on WIN7x64 ?
Is it just run Autostart.bat after modify Config.ini ?

Start.bat - Menu based run. It will ask you to select Mode and Pools
Autostart.bat - Example file for launching without manually selecting every time. You can edit it to your liking and set Mode and Pools in it.

CryptDredge 0.9.1 released with fixes for cryptonight7/heavy on nicehash, also adds Cryptonighthaven algo

i run as administrator on win7x64.
In cmd.exe box says.

Can not start Windows PowerShell Version 5.0 because it is not install correctly installed.
Press any key to continue..

After press it is exit cmd box.

4ward, thanks for that, got the groups sorted.
Just a few more questions,
How to disable one gpu in a mixed rig
Am running a Vega 64, however it doesnt display the amount of watts it is using, but a nvidia card on the same rig does.
Also, when running AMD on afterburner it ups the power limit to +50, is this normal?

To disable one GPU - use GpuGroups and exclude the specific Device
AMD use Afterburner (it must be running) and NVIDIA uses nvidia-smi.exe for power usage. Please verify that Afterburner is running.
It shouldn't set PowerLimits unless you define them in GpuGroups.







Windows 7 comes with PowerShell v2. You will need to install PowerShell 5 if you haven't (Windows Management Framework to be exact).
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=54616

Also, You shouldn't need to run as Admin, unless you use PowerLimits with NVIDIA or the Rig Monitoring.

both added in master

32bits it not only about adding them, but also maintaining additional versions ))

Do you need that for 32bit Windows or do they perform better sometimes?

Is there a need to support 32bit Windows? It shouldn't be hard to add, but will need to review all miners and that takes time

Thanks for the quick reply.
It was running ok yesterday, but not today after adding the gpu groups.

Am running Afterburner 4.5.0 and Adrenalin 18.8.1

Afterburner is running prior to launching Forager. After launching several times and resetting the Afterburner power limit to back to 0, each time.
Anytime i have GPU groups it always changes the power limit to +50% in afterburner, on the screen with new interval started with the green writing is loading.
I have tried several times with GPU groups with 2 x 580 and 4 x 480 and each time it changes the power limit to +50%. I have tried only the 2 x 580 and then only the 4 x 480 and the same power limit increase.
I have then removed the GPU Groups so they all run together, and the power limit stays the same and does not change.

Not sure if i am missing something, but this is what i have put in the config file, from the device list bat.

GpuGroups = [{"GroupName": "RX580s", "Type": "AMD", "Devices": "2,3", "PowerLimits": "100"}, {"GroupName": "RX480s", "Type": "AMD", "Devices": "0,1,4,5", "PowerLimits": "100"}]

set "PowerLimits": "0" to make Forager not change PowerLimits. Otherwise "PowerLimits": "100" is 0 in AMD Wattman, "PowerLimits": "90" is -10, etc...

So if i change it to 0 will it benchmark at 100% initially and then lower the power limit to find the most profitable power setting afterwards?

0 will benchmark whatever is currently set and that's it. So if you set something in Wattman, it will not change it.

benchmarked my rigs, but they really don't like the software it seems.

Keep getting : WARNING : NO Miners above MinProfit

And it stops mining and only giving this warning.....

Which means that's it's not profitable for you to mine. If you want to ignore this, set min profit in config to large negative value

Don't see any line containing min Profit....

Guess we have to change electricity costs then ?

MinProfit_AMD = 0
MinProfit_NVIDIA = 0
MinProfit_CPU = 0

Set to negative

Or change the electricity costs as you mentioned )

When is the next version due?

Last version released just 3 days ago...

When I get enough changes for a version release to be reasonable ))

new HMQ1725  software for AMD works for vega

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5023676.0

Anyone has problem that CryptoDredge 0.9 running Neoscrypt was not killed off when switch session? It ended up having 2 miner windows running.

I have seen it - two miners at the same time.

Would be good if added a parameter to delay launch of new miner.
Was using MinerControl and it has a "delay" parm that I set to 1.5 second.

actually, that doesn't need to be done.  cryptodredge talks about this.

just needs to add --no-watchdog parameter for cryptodredge

Thanks for the find. Update in master branch :)

Thanks very much.

Any plans on this miner to be included: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5027811.0

TeamRed for Lyra2z & phi2.

Thanks in advance.

not until they have a windows version ;)

Forager 18.09.1 released
https://github.com/yuzi-co/Forager/releases (http://bit.ly/2FGwpnZ)

- Changelog:
  - CryptoDredge 0.9.1
  - SGMinerKL 1.0.6
  - SuprMiner git11
  - lolMiner 0.43b
  - BMiner 10.3
  - SGMinerFancyIX beta4b
  - zEnemy 1.20
  - T-Rex 6.6
  - Phoenix 3.5d
  - WildRig 0.10.5
  - WildRigMulti 0.11.6
  - JCEMiner 0.32n
  - EthMiner 0.16

WildRigMulti appears to be having problems with configuration within forager... my vega cards don't run wildrigmulti, and my rx570 are only getting kHash instead of Mhash.

ok.. i figured out the vega problem.  it's the naming of the kernels.  the kernels he has posted are gfx900.bin,  but the program identifies the vegas as gfx901... i renamed the gfx900.bin file to gfx901.bin

as for the low hashrate, that is an error on forager's end.  forager is recording the hash rate as khash, instead of Mhash.  miner says 16000khash, pool says 16Mhash, but forager records as 16.000 khash

UPDATE... it's an API issue.  WildRigMulti reports khash instead of mhash.  is there a way to adjust for that in forager?

i'll fix it

Fixed in master branch (along with update to 0.11.7)

T-Rex 0.6.10
CryptoDredge 0.9.2
z-Enemy 1.21a
Bminer 10.4

and FancyIX-b5c (adds allium)

have all been released in the last couple of days

May I ask a question?

how do your soft use the infos from Whattomine?
Just for benchmark, and your software will work out a param list to running,
or will switch from coinA to coinB automatically according to the infos?

thanks.

will switch from coinA to coinB automatically according to the infos :)

updates in master branch

what do you think about this one?

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5027811.0

I see it on the miner pages of zergpool and zpool for Phi2 and Lyra2z

nvm... still only linux

Is the profit calculation for yescrypt on nlpool accurate? In forager it's saying my i5 is making $4 a day. If I use another profit switcher it shows $0.14.

Also, with my RX 480

- JCE GPU Miner gets 0H/s but never fails, and forager keeps relaunching it and benchmarking indefinitely.
- lolminer also gets 0H/s and eventually closes - checked lolminer thread and said it's due to memory. I have a 4GB card and 12GB of swap configured. I think it worked in the past, maybe the latest driver breaks it?

EDIT: I have a rig with 2 Nvidia cards and 1 AMD card, if I use automatic grouping I do not have issues. When I split the gpus into groups, some miners seem to have issues. I'm using the RX 480 in one group with the index as 0, then the 2 Nvidia cards in another with index as 0,1

It looks like this is somehow preventing JCE/lolminer from working properly. I can't explain why, JCE shows my RX 480 as index 0, however lolminer does show it as index 2.

I've tried with only the AMD group enabled (no group for Nvidia)

I use the data that the pool provides, but some pools may report incorrect data




lolminer puts all gpus in a single list (thats why rx480 is index 2) and i dont have a solution for this yet, so there might be issues with mixed rigs

lolMiner 0.5 (available in git only for now) is configured to use all AMD or all NVIDIA, so it should work better in mixed rigs.
You can download miner file manually from git and put in Miners folder

Regarding JCE, if it's 0H/s, there might be an issue with JCE miner itself
Try to see which command is used to execute it in the log file, and run it manually.

Regarding drivers, JCE specifically recommends 18.3.4 or 18.6.1 (and I recommend those as well)

lolminer 0.5 not displaying hash nor recording benchmark in forager (though the miner displays the hash in the lolminer 0.5 mining window)

Updated miners

WildrigMulti 11.8 out with new algos (timetravel, x16r, x16s)
FancyIX beta5b out

and there's a windows release for tdxminer now... or whatever its called now

it has support for cryptonightv8 fork coming in the 18 of Oct.

hi

hum,why i have forager in firefox and thunderbird cache?
are you hiding something?

Don't know, did you open Forager page in Firefox and written someone about it in Thunderbird?

If you have doubts - it's open source, it doesn't even need compilation, just look at the code, so you can see yourself what it's doing

why it want to email my contact with "HEUR:Trojan.Script.Miner.gen;Cheval de Troie"

something is wrong

Antiviruses dont like miners because they are often used in malware that mines to a hacker account.
And obviously N-EWBF-0.6.json and N-Ethminer-0.16.json have links to well known miners.

Regarding your mail, judjing from [Subj Re: programmation miner], you send someone a miner or someone sent it to you...

If you have doubts - don't mine. I don't take any responsibility for the miner binaries. Forager is only a script for managing the real miners.
I use miners that have enough positive responses to be reasonably safe.
But if you get hacked and you have sensitive information on the computer you run Forager on - it's your fault.
Never ever keep wallets or sensitive information on the PC that you mine on.

Remove ZergPool from the list of pools.  It was shut down by the pool operator with no advanced notice nor reason why.

SRBminer benchmarks aren't being recorded in v18.10

Announcement:

For a while now, the mining profits are pretty negligible and I have already stopped mining for a some time.
On the other hand there is a lots of good developers creating and updating miners, which I can't really keep up with.
I will be stopping the development of Forager as mining is not profitable for me and the amount of donations I get is negligible.

Thanks to everyone who is using Forager, who reported bugs and kept me updated on new miner releases.

I will probably release another bug fix version soon, which will be the last (unless GPU/CPU mining returns to profitability in future).

If anyone is looking to continue development and would like to some assistance, feel free to contact me.

I think your fee is mining at ZergPool which has shut down. Could you change it to other pool?

Sorry to see you go.  I've been able to keep it profitable during this downtime by keeping Nicehash weighted at 1, and the auto-exchange to btc pools weighted at 0.5.  My revenue has stayed equivalent for october compared to september and august with this weighting.

hello!

JCE Miner added support for crytponight 8 and the algo is available at nicehash as of now with launch tomorrow.
Will Forager support CN8 within near future?

TeamRedMiner out.
I tried adding it, but i failed miserably.

Updates in Git:

fix SRBMiner API
add TeamRedMiner
JCEMiner updates
CastXMR update
WildRigMulti update
fix donation pools
CryptoNightV8 support

We implemented the api to be compatible with sgminer but not the command line options. Hence, the arguments in your example are wrong. Let me see if I can get it going myself and dump a working example here, otherwise I’m sure devs will add it properly shortly.

it's already in the git ;)

teamRedMiner isn't working with forager.. sometimes it works, but most of the time i get a miner error with teamredminer in the log file... haven't figured it out yet.

UPDATE:
you need to add "--platform=#GpuPlatform#",  to TeamRedMiner... fixed problem

Hi 4ward,

JCE upgraded his GPU miner once again, he mention new source code which makes its impossible to benchmark within forager at this point.

Anything you maybe wanna take a look at?

Regards
wip

he's no longer supporting forager.  it's in the first post.  it's unprofitable for him.  I've just been doing what i can with version 18.10... however, i can't get srb 1.6.9 to work nor can i get jce 33b3 to work (keeps trying to mine with the integrated  graphics on the cpu and one other gpu, rather than just the two jpu), though 33b worked just fine.   i don't know how different 33b3 is from 33b.

Wow, i did miss that. However i think crypto for gpu just had its blast and it will come again, but when is the question.
I loved this interface.

However. i managed to get JCE 033b5 to benchmark and run flawless. ( i have integrated CPU graphics turned off in BIOS, so im not affected by your issue. i have a HDMI dongle in first gpu in my rigs.
https://www.ebay.com/itm/VGA-Virtual-Display-Adapter-HDMI-1-4-DDC-EDID-Dummy-Plug-Video-card-Lock-plate/282632024511

Thankyou for the updates. I really didn't want to have to move to MPM beta.

much appreciated, i love Forager.

Today get message " Warning: No miners above MinProfit" and all mining activity stopped.
Anyone else get this?

+ 1

I am also receiving the same error message.

I will look at the logs later today to see if I can identify the issue

Disclaimer: I am not a programmer.


EDIT:

I temporary solved the issue by editing the Core.ps1 file with Notepad++

Line 427

$CDKResponse = Invoke-APIRequest -Url "https://api.coindesk.com/v1/bpi/currentprice/$LocalCurrency.json" -MaxAge 60 |

It appears that coindesk api is not responding to https request, so I deleted the "s" from https, so it looked like this

$CDKResponse = Invoke-APIRequest -Url "http://api.coindesk.com/v1/bpi/currentprice/$LocalCurrency.json" -MaxAge 60 |

Saved and relaunched and it's working again.

Hopefully someone smarter can provide a proper fix.

It works. Thanks so much.

Coindesk added cloudflare support, so SSL certs changed and now it says invalid certificate for many softwares.

Any chance of getting an update?

I haven't been able to get SRBminer 1.7.0 to work with forager.


I've gotten trex7.4,enemyminer1.24v3,cryptodredge10,castxmr1.6.0,wildrigmulti12.9,sgminerKL1.0.9,teamredminer3.7

just not srbminer 1.7.0

thanks

i'll take a look tomorrow

thanks

pushed updates to git
didnt see any issues with SRBMiner 1.7.0

and that's why i don't code.. :o :o it works with yours.    ;D ;D

thanks

could we get a version bump?

thanks

Very happy to see that Forager is still updated! Supposedly there is a brand new xmrig with much improved hashrates.

Anyone know how to set the diff for each algo the rejects are killing me! HELP!!!

Since I have some time on a vacation, there you have a up-to-date release.

Thanks to DrRoboto for helping with updates

hi,
should I be able to mine equi192 & equi96 with lol6/AMD on zergpool? somehow these both don't show up, tested with 570/8gb & 580/4gb on win10
equi144 is working, using latest github clone version

regards,
g.

Make sure you have Equihash192 and Equihash96 in "Algorithms_AMD = " in config.ini (or just comment out the line to mine all available algos)
Also, they might be filtered out by "MinWorkers = 20" if there are less that configured workers on the pool

These settings are present and working. maybe it has something with the "|" switch todo, because MTP|8 from wildrig is also not working on the 8gb rig?

this does config "A-SgminerMTP.json"I made works on both, although the 4GB ris is ultra slow, ofcause:
{
    "Path": "sgminer.exe",
    "Uri": "https://github.com/zcoinofficial/sgminer/releases/download/0.0.5-test/sgminer.zip",

please also check nrghash from zergpool on AMD & NVIDIA, it gives crazy profit estimations.

thank you

Can you post the log please?

Profits are usually pool reponsibility, unless you see it 1000 times higher. A screenshot would be great :)

here is the screenshot with nrghash

https://ibb.co/svKNhdj


regarding wildrig MTP, I read the MTP readme and it doen't work because the rig has less then 8gb, my fault.

Ok, there seems to be a problem Energiminer speed detection, can you send a screenshot of the miner window that is showing the speed?


P.S.
Just a rant... I dont understand why Energiminer fork from Ethminer and release the miner completely cutting out the API...

here it is:
https://ibb.co/dpv3fbh

Thank you.

Pushed an update to git that should parse it properly.

it's not showing any speed now in the window. I updated all files.

Strange. Should look like http://prntscr.com/met8l8

wrapper is showing hashrate, but it's not going to forager window and not displayed and not calculating anything.

oh  crap, i got it... your locale settings put a "," and not "."

I'll post a fix soon


EDIT: pushed fix to git

thank you, it's working now. keep up the good work!

Good to hear. Thank you )

would it be possible to leave the algos out of the config, if it's known that miner perfoms weaker?
it will save some time in the benchmarks
just an idea

For AMD and CPU, I usually just remove or disable miners are significantly slower. But if they are close, I do prefer to keep a few variants in case it it works better on different hardware.
For NVIDIA, I can't test much since I don't own NVIDIA hardware

Hi,

For fun I configured a rig with separate groups: 1080ti and 1070 to test c31
When runing all benches again,
I noticed a problem with TT-miner when groups are configured, it's ignoring the configured devices. what do you need to nail it down?

I missed the device selection config option.
Fix is in the git :)

it works great, thx!

Algo cleanup for CPU and AMD miners
Some core changes
Pool updates: WhatToMine, NiceHash, Zergpool

1. awesome miner! thanks for the hard work.

I got an issue with minerrocks and turtle coin I want to bounce off you, So I have the config file set. When I run autostart with the filters I want It grabs 3 pools ( MSR/QRL/GRAFT ) and everything works fine. but TRTL ( turtlecoin ) pool isnt found on minerrocks. if I filter down to JUST TRTL coin. it returns "NO POOLS!"

I tried to get on a different pool using the start.bat and choosing manual coin mode. cryptoKnight shows turtlecoin but the algo is the old one so It doesnt work. turtlecoin forked to CN-trtl recently and cryptoKnight shows it as cnlitev7. so it never mines.

posted on minerrocks discord 1-29-19 "Turtlecoin will fork from 1,200,000 (in two days) to new POW - cn-trtl ( https://github.com/turtlecoin/turtlecoin/releases )
Please use trtlstak 2.7.3 ( https://github.com/turtlecoin/trtl-stak/releases ) and new ports: 5003, 5005, 5007.
Other ports will be closed during fork."

might need to add trtlstak 2.7.3 for good measure to the miners. but I have used xmrig ( command line only ) to mine it setting currency to turtlecoin

and suggestions as to whats going on, and why the minerrocks pool isnt linking? another note actually. if you try to just show a coin list for minerrocks, it shows NOTHING. where the cryptoKnight pool returns coins that match my config. where minerrocks wont ( even though MSR/QRL/GRAFT work )

also I thought I read on here you have a discord channel for this, can you link me?

**** I have been investigating a few things to see if I can figure this out. some other issues popped up ****

I found that the pool CryptoKnight has similar pools as minerrocks. so I wanted to verify on that pool, if turtle etc is working.

1. when I set mining mode to Automatic I get a response of "mining mode not available for this pool" - setting it to manual mode gets it going, but defeats the multipool idea.

2. in manual mode, I set the coin to turtle - it fails because the algorithm is setting as lite-v7 not cntrtl, this is on the JCP cpu miner, and xmrig. somewhere its defaulting to the old algo for turtle.

3. I have lethean coin - previously intensecoin - cryptoKnight has a pool for it, but it wont recognize it when I start the miner. lethean is Cnv8

just upgraded from 19.01-19.02 no change in any of this

Thank you. Appreciate it :)


Fixed for miner.rocks pushed to git

Also, fixed CnTurtle algo in the miners, so you have enough options :)


I will update CryptoKnight tomorrow.
Not sure trtlstak  is necessary. You should be able to mine now :)

I just edited a bit, added a few issues. I will grab the new stuff from git and report back. thanks

yeah if the algo matches I dont think trtlstak is necessary

I will review tomorrow, I know there are some more issues, just dont have time right now.

Currently you can find lethean on FairPool as well. I just updated it today (in git)

no worries I understand, just leaving this here to help you with bugs.

I am still having issues with Turtle showing on minerrocks. even though the changes are registering in the miners and the pool. I think the config file needs the algos added to the CPU / NVIDIA/AMD section. Ill try to add them and see how it goes

*** no change on my end in adding CnPico, CnTurtle, CnTrtl to algos listed in config.ini ***

I think lethean was a algo problem, I will try on fairpool with the new miners. in v19.02

*** fairpool lethean connected, but Fairpool is another that wont work under automatic miner settings. only works when set to manual/ coin ****

interesting note, while talking to the turtle network guys on discord. CryptoKnight shut down their turtle coin pool, but yet it shows up when the miner starts with it set to manual coin. ( and if you go to the pools site, sure enough its not there )

You can exclude specific coins on a pool in the config file.

i do it with zpool and their ninja coin.
my line in config:
ExcludeCoins_Zpool = Ninja

for specific algo
ExludeAlgo_Blockmasters = Argon2d500

I dont want to exclude, I want to include turtlecoin. its not working

the basic portion where it finds the pools that match your algo/ wallet/ currency settings in the config doesnt find turtle coin pools on minerrocks and im not finding turtle coin on any other pools to test it ( other pools included in this program )

Not all pools return profit information. Without it - there can be no automatic mode


All updated now


CryptoKnight also updated
You can use FairPool, CrypttoKnight and MinerRocks on automatic mode

P.S. You will need to add the algos in the config.ini, or just comment algos line, and will skip filtering and use all available

thanks for the updates, I will grab the new files and try it out - I am only trying to help with issues, if this is not how you want this thread to be, let me know and we can take it to messages of somewhere else. Plus I am digging into the code myself to try and figure this out, I dont want you to think im just asking for you to fix it.

fresh install of v19.02, fresh config with JUST algo/wallets copied over from V19.01

*** turtlecoin  not recognized, out of the gate *** - CnTrtl, CnTurtle, CryptonightTurtle, CnPico, Cryptonight-Pico, Turtlecoin --- adding algo(s) to config/include folder algo file no change
*** Masari not recognized, out of the gate *** - CnHalf --- fixed by adding "CnHalf" to config ( NVIDIA/CPU sections)
*** Fairpool, CryptoKnight still get error for miner setting ( automatic ) - not valid miner mode - my impression was you could connect/ input multiple pools in the autostart.bat and it would check them all, or am I wrong? At this point I can only get one pool to connect under automatic mode. all versions

please rephrase this part for me
"P.S. You will need to add the algos in the config.ini, or just comment algos line, and will skip filtering and use all available" - just comment algos line? in the config, or start.bat?

it sounds like, if you delete all algos( or comment the area ) in config it defaults to the list in the include folder?

Forager 19.02.1 released

"Cryptonight zoo" edition

Changelog:
Miners:
- XMR-Stak 2.8.3

Pools:
- Fairpool - Update coins + Allow automatic mode
- Miner.Rocks - Update coins + Allow automatic mode
- CryptoKnight - Update coins + Allow automatic mode
- SuprNova - Update coins

Other:
- Add more Cn algos to sample config.ini
- Small core fixes

Best place for issues would be the github issue tracker, but no problem posting here if you have issues.


Checkout the new release. It should fix all those issues


99% correct. It will use all algos in available in the miners/pools.
algorithms.json is just for mapping algo names (they can be announced differently by different pools)

I grabbed the new release v19.02.1

swapped over my wallet/coin settings, changed a few things for me. (afterburner off, cpu mining on, cuda 10.0 firmware)

ran basic autostart with minergate, fairpool. no coin filter, no algo filter.

boom benchmarking QRL/MSR/TRTL/GRFT! no errors

so far so good, thanks for the help in getting it sorted. Im gona dive deeper into tweaking it and dialing in more coins/pools, if I run into anything else I will post over at github.

great work

ran into a small issue with Cuda Block size for turtle it seems. posted over on github.

*******

fixed, ran into issue with the config.json for the xmrig miners. Issue described on GIT for anyone else.

line i'm using which worked in all previous versions:
GPUGROUPS=[{"GroupName": "NVIDIA", "Type": "NVIDIA", "Devices": "0,1,2", "PowerLimits": "85,90,95,100"}]

change "Type" to "GroupType"

GpuGroups=[{"GroupName": "NVIDIA", "GroupType": "NVIDIA", "Devices": "0,1,2", "PowerLimits": "85,90,95,100"}]

Discord server now available:

that was it.

How do i get the ethlargmentpill to activate?   I removed the # in autoexec.txt, but there doesn't seem to be anywhere to start autoexec.

Anything in autostart.txt will run on Forager start
EthLargementpill requires admin, so you will might need to start Forager with Run as administrator

ok.. then it's not working.  EthLargementpill is not running

Runs fine in v19.02.1, does not run nor initialize in v19.03

19.03 re-uploaded with a hotfix for screen limit + small error during donation

Hi,
I switched 2 rigs to latest github clone this morning. Both win10 64bit - 4gb RAM

1. rig - 2x RX570_8gb - blockchain drivers
2. rig - 2x RX580_4gb - 18.6.1


On rig 1 it shows - Ellesmere_32cu3gb

On rig 2 it shows - Ellesmere_36cu3gb

why not 8gb & 4 gb? accordingly the algos using more then 3gb are not activated.


regards,
g.

 
edit:
JCE 033b18 is no longer working. I suspect due to the device config?

Interesting... Can you please post output from OpenCLList.bat and DeviceList.bat ?

how is that going to screw me over later??


Setup Miner...

I think I found the solution

removed @devices tag from N- and A- .json, and put in the correct device number for this rig                             !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

it's going to screw you on every other miner.

You need to set it in the config.ini file..

i.e.

GpuGroups = [{"GroupName": "RX570", "GroupType": "AMD", "Devices": "1", "PowerLimits": "100"}, {"GroupName": "1080s", "GroupType": "NVIDIA", "Devices": "0", "PowerLimits": "100,90,80"}]

you're welcome.
