-- Announcement Thread --
Hi folks,
this is the announcement thread for lolMiner v0.4 (July 22, 2018) .
So what is this miner good for: at the moment it mines Equihash 144.5 (BTG, BTCZ, LitecoinZ, 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.
Here are the changes over the last versions:
Changes (generally):
- Introduced a simple api (see manual)
- The miner now supports running on mixed rigs (see quickstart guide)
- The miner supports multiple algorithms in one software
Changes (from lolMiner-mnx 0.34)
- Improved performance: About 24% for AMD and 21% for Nvidia
- New configuration file format
- New work-batch options (see manual)
Changes (from lolMiner-144.5 0.38 Preview)
- Integrated ZelCash (ZEL)
- Improved driver and GPU compatibility – now it should work with any OpenCL 1.1 enabled GPU that has enough memory.
- Slightly improved performance: Approx 2-3% on Nvidia and 10-11% on AMD

Setup:
There is a quickstart guide and a manual for detail settings shipped with the miner. Read that carefully and it should work. Else feel free to ask here
F.A.Q. and known Issues:
The AMD miner for 144.5 is slow…
Well, I know that. The code needs a massive re-structure to make it fly - I will try so soon
The Windows miner crashes…
… from time to time. This is because the Windows version is a cross build with pretty old runtimes. This will be resolved soon (hopefully). In the meantime head out for a Windows watchdog I will provide next days that mitigates the problem.
My coin with Equihash 144.5 is missing...
Oh, sry, maybe I just was not aware of this. Drop me a note here with the required details and I will add is very quickly. This is a rather quick action
How much is the fee?
Equihash 144.5 coins start at a 2% fee (to be lowered with 0.41 or 0.42) and MinexCoin runs at 1% fee.
Does the miner disconnect for fee?
No, I has two connections open all of the time and does every x iterations one iteration for me. That way the mining income remains smooth. Also the displayed sol/s are net with fee already calculated out, so what you see is what you get.
Why JSON for configuration? Why? Whyyyyy?
Huuusshhh. Just be careful with setting ',' and all will be good. When used to it, it is a very need way to configure the miner, you will see.
