[rigelminer]

Rigel 1.15.0

* (IRON) Add "fishhash" algorithm support (dev fee 1%) including
  * IRON+ALPH, IRON+KLS, IRON+PYI, IRON+RXD, +ZIL, see bat/sh scripts
* Add SOCKS5 proxy support (see "--proxy" for more info)
* Add "--no-colour" parameter to disable colours in the miner log
* Allow opting out of memory clock reset when building DAG by passing "--dag-reset-mclock off"

Bug fixes:
* (ALPH) Password field value "-p" is not passed to the pool making it impossible to use static difficulty when mining to Vipor.

Rigel 1.15.0, 1.15.1 alephium mass rejects on nicehash
Nvidia driver 551.86
rigel.exe --no-watchdog -d 0,1,2,3 --no-tui --dag-reset-mclock off -a alephium -o stratum+tcp://alephium.auto.nicehash.com:9200 -u *** -p x --api-bind 127.0.0.1:4009

It works fine on one or two GPU, three or more GPUs - Duplicate share.

Exactly

6gb gpu error

needs to be renewed

Hello, please add
nvml - enable/disable NVML (statistic library for CUDA devices)

[FP91G]

Rigel 1.16.1
(GRAM, CHAPA) Add sha256ton algorithm (dev fee 1%), including
ABEL+GRAM, ERG+GRAM, IRON+GRAM, HYP+GRAM, CFX+GRAM, +ZIL, see bat/sh scripts
Only icemining pool is supported at this point
--fan-control can now be set to X to let the driver/OS manage the fan
Add --reset-oc parameter to reset all overclock settings and exit. Run as a standalone command rigel --reset-oc or rigel --reset-oc -d 0,1,....
Add --multi-device-arg-mode parameter to allow the miner to proceed even if the number of per-GPU settings doesn't match the number of GPUs - usually happens when one of the GPUs disappears from the system (taken out for maintenance, PCIE connectivity loss etc.) but the miner is run with the same config (see usage in readme).
(IRON) Remove --enable-fork support for ironfish algorithm. Use -a fishhash instead.
Remove obsolete kawpow (aipg, clore, neoxa, neurai, ravencoin) and ethash (octa, powblocks) algorithm aliases. Use -a kawpow --coin COIN and -a ethash --coin COIN instead.

Rigel 1.16.2

(GRAM) Add a kernel switch for sha256ton algorithm.
--kernel 1 (default) - best when higher power draw is not a concern
--kernel 2 - best when (very) low power draw is preferred
Tip: this version increases hashrate, however it may be less efficient than 1.16.1 with your OC - if that's the case, try reducing the locked core clock slightly, or select --kernel 2
Bug fixes:

(GRAM) Job payload parsing error when mining to Hyperpool

1.16.3 didn't work well, when crashed didn't show which GPU cause it.
1.16.2 is working OK.

1.16.3 didn't work well, when crashed didn't show which GPU cause it.
1.16.2 is working OK.

Please run the miner with "--log-file rigel.log" and post the log file, I'll have a look.

Done, thank you. Check PM for details.

Rigel 1.17.1
(XEL) Add experimental solo mining support (solo+tcp://...)
(XEL) Performance / efficiency improvements
Tip: locking GPU memory to 5000mhz doesn't always work well on this version. Some cards perform better with a memory offset instead.
Bug fixes:

(UI) Miner uptime is not always reported in the log

Rigel
(XEL) Performance / efficiency improvements (~10%)
Notes:
In this version the miner needs about 2 minutes to tune internal parameters to achieve higher hashrate. It will print a message in the console when the tuning is over.
Tip for Windows users: turn on HAGS (hardware accelerated GPU scheduling) for better performance on xelishash. If you previously had HAGS off, review your overclock settings as the cards will draw more power.
Bug fixes:

GPU memory temperatures are not displayed on 555+ drivers
(Windows) High CPU usage when HAGS is on

Rigel 1.17.4
(XEL) Efficiency improvements (~5%)
(XEL) Add --tune parameter to set tuning values manually for consistent hashrate across miner restarts
Bug fixes:

(XEL+ZIL) Miner crashes if launched during a ZIL session
