Miners update:
- t-rex-v0.18.8 (Add etchash algorithm for upcoming ETC fork. Compatibility ethash with Mining Rig Rentals pool)

[tymeksm]

Miners update:
- lolminer-v1.13 (Ethash: Reduced power draw significantly on non-zombie mode for Rx Fury & Rx 470 - 590, slight reduction for Vega & Navi. Ethash: Slightly improved performance on Vega, Navi and Nvidia GPUs. Significantly improved performance on R9 390. Added Zombie mode for RX 5300XT & RX 5500 4G cards. Added ETCHash support for Radeon HD 79x0 / R9 280 (X) & RX 5300 3G. Will be good for ETCHash till epoch ~250 (about July 2022). Added caching of last 5 used light caches. This will reduce the switching time for Nicehash & ZIL dual mining significantly. Added support for extranonce subscription on EthereumStratum/1.0.0 (Nicehash) format - this will stop the miner from frequently reconnecting to Nicehash. Added detection of pool not accepting worker name in <wallet.workerName> format when using ETHPROXY stratum. Miner will reconnect with worker name copied into --worker in this case. Fixed bug: "conversion of data to type "b" failed" when using ETHPROXY stratum mode on some pools. Fixed potential issue causing GPUs to freeze when a GPU needs to reboot, e.g. epoch change or connection loss. Fixed benchmark mode for ETCHash. Use --benchmark ETCHASH --benchepoch 390 to benchmark performance post fork)
- nbminer-nebutech-v33.4 (Optimize: octopus improve hashrate: +35% on 16 20 30 series Nvidia GPUs, +20% on all other GPUs.  New algo: etchash for upcoming ETC upgrade. Feature: add effective pool hashrate 10min 4h 24h)

[tymeksm]

Miners update:
- lolminer-v1.14 (Added Ethash Zombie mode for 4G Nvidia)

[tymeksm]

Miners update:
- bminer-v16.3.6 (Improved performance of Conflux)
- lolminer-v1.15 (Fixed invalid shares on 4G GPUs on some systems. Fixed hangs up when changing epoch when using the ZIL cache feature. Fixed invalid shares when a new job with different epoch arrives while the miner is currently creating the DAG file for an earlier job. Fixed calling emergency scripts when GPU hungs up. Improved Ethash efficiency on Nvidia. ZIL cache now can be used by cards with less then 8G when enough memory is available. General stability improvements)
- nanominer-v1.13.1 (Improved performance of Conflux on Nvidia. Nvidia 30xx will be supported soon)
- xmrig-v6.5.2 (Separate MSR mod for Zen/Zen2 and Zen3. Print path to existing WinRing0 service without verbose option. Fixed alignment modification in memory pool. Added 250K and 500K offline benchmarks)

Can you do mixed rigs? i.e. nvidia and amd in same rig... edit.. found the answer to this... it's no.


still looking for the answer for this one.
What is the maximum number of gpu suppported in a single rig?

I am waiting for PhoenixMiner 5.2c

[tymeksm]

Miners update:
- gminer-v2.30 (Performance improvements for BeamHashIII - up to +2-3%. Added AMD solvers for Ethash and Etchash. Reduced stale shares percentage on Ethash algorithm, it will improve hashrate on pool side. Support Etchash. Reduced memory usage for Cortex 8GB solver - about 50MB)
- sgminer-fancyIX-v0.7.0 (Added over 10x faser yescrypt kernel. Added Navi support for yescrypt)
- t-rex-v0.18.9 (Ethash increase pool side hashrate by 1-2% by reducing the amount of stale shares the miner drops before sending to the pool. Ethash, kawpow, progpow - set worker name to %hostname% if not specified. Fixed ethash low pool side hashrate when mining ETH+ZIL due to incorrect difficulty parsing. Fixed ethash, kawpow, progpow miner crashes on low RAM multi-GPU rigs during DAG rebuild)
- xmrig-v6.5.3 (Fixed high CPU usage on Cryptonight and AstroBWT)

We also still waiting for phoenixminer-v5.2c for Linux to implement in SimpleMining. Please be pacient ;-)

Hello. From time to time, I get the following error, usually every 8-10 hours:

Code:

Each GPU has PCI ID on the motherboard - in this case GPU has PCI ID: 07:00.0

In dashboard you can move mouse over the model name of each GPU and in popup you can see bus id of each card to find this one GPU.

Miners update:
- nanominer-v3.1.1 (small bug fixes)
- nbminer-nebutech-v33.6 (faster +100%. Note for octopus from this version: GPUs that has higher core performance than memory performance, need to overclock memory to get higher hashrate, e.g. 2080 3070)

Did something happen in an update that would cause my 5700 XT rig to give me the " not enough GPU memory to place DAG, you cannot mine this coin with this GPU..." error?  The rig has been working great until about an hour ago.  Now it just reboots, errors out without mining, and reboots again.  Details on the rig:  8 rx 5700 xt 8gb cards of several different brands, Celeron chip, 16 gb ram, running SMOS Claymore 15.0 on a usb thumb drive.  I am writing another usb drive with the v1281 file to see if that helps.  My 480-580 rigs are still mining fine at this time.


Edit, new image did not help.  The v1281 program updated to v1294 I think, then finished booting only to have the same  not enough GPU memory to place DAG, you cannot mine this coin with this GPU error/reboot sequence.

[tymeksm]

Miners update:
- nbminer-nebutech-v33.7 (Add option -no-interrupt for disable miner interrupting current GPU jobs when a new job coming from pool, will cause less power supply issue, but might lead to a bit higher stale ratio and reject shares. Add effiecieny display in console, showing hashrate per watt for each GPU)

Claymore hasn't been updated in a very very long time. Switch to another miner like Phoenix or TeamRed

Miners update:
- lolminer-v1.16a (Added support Ethash and Beam Hash III for RX 6000 generation of GPUs. All supported algorithms now show the share difficulty and have best share statistics. Added --rebuild-defect n to trigger a rebuild of DAG if a GPU produced n defect shares on the current one. Default is 3, use 0 to deactivate this feature. Added --workmulti n to modify the amount of Ethash work a GPU does per batch. Higher values will cause less CPU load but more stale shares, lower values will give less stale shares but higher CPU load. Performance may vary for different values. Default is 128. New: if Ethash pool disconnects within 2 seconds from connection attempt (immediate reconnect), then the other stratum mode is tested to login. New: AMD Vega and newer cards now display memory temperature in statistics (only visible if there is at least one such GPU in the rig). Default ethstratum changed from ETHV1 to ETHPROXY for better pool compatibility. Stratum pool addresses now understand "stratum+tcp://", "stratum+ssl://" and "ssl://" prefixes (turning on or of ssl / tls automatically) for better compatibility with existing configurations. Slightly reduced CPU load when mining Ethash. New coloring scheme with more friendly colors. For terminals that do not have rgb colors (e.g. shellinabox) use --basecolor to restrict to a simpler set. Use --nocolor to deactivate coloring completely. Fixed: Cards may crash when switching from ZIL cache back to normal mining. Fixed: Wavy hashrate - especially for rigs with many AMD Navi GPUs. Fixed: Watchdog not called when a GPU is stuck & extremely high CPU load on crashed GPU. Fixed: Hashrate reporting not working on some pools (e.g. sparkpool). Fixed: Miner can crash after trying to reconnect to same pool over 5 minutes. Fixed: Miner crashes when mixing TLS and non-TLS pools for fail-over)
- xmrig-v6.6.0 (Online benchmark protocol upgraded to v2, validation not compatible with previous versions. Single thread benchmark now is cheat-resistant, not possible speedup it with multiple threads. RandomX dataset is now always initialized with static seed, to prevent time cheat by report slow dataset initialization. Zero delay online submission, to make time validation much more precise and strict. DNS cache for online benchmark to prevent unexpected delays)

I have 7 5700 XT GPU on a motherboard. The setup was running fine for last 2-3 months. However since last few weeks 2 of the GPUs goes offline. Any suggestions?

[tymeksm]

Miners update:
- teamredminer-v0.7.18 (Added etchash support (algo etchash and --eth_variant_mode). Added dag cache support, mostly intended for eth+zil mining (--eth_dag_cache). Changed the default for ethash ramp-up and staggering to false (--eth_ramp_up and --eth_stagger). Integrated with SimpleMining watchdog by using option --watchdog_script)



Miners update:
- nbminer-nebutech-v33.8 (Cctopus added support for mining on NiceHash)
- xmrig-v6.6.1 (Fixed, benchmark validation on NUMA hardware produced incorrect results in some conditions)



Miners update:
- gminer-v2.31-fix (fixed error "Failed to initialize NVRTC library" while running gminer on rigs with newer versions of NVIDIA drivers)


Update v1297:
- Added API support for srbminer-multi miner


Miners update:
- gminer-v2.32 (fixed "out of memory" error for Ethash on Nvidia)

Might be many things.
First i would suggest to lower overclocking, rise undervolting and check again.
Then you can replace riser in that GPU.
In most cases on of those should help.
Also be sure to check all cables that go from PSU to GPU and to riser - Maybe one of the is burned ?
Take a look on our discord for live help.

We are working hard on RX6800 support.
Right now there is complete mess in Linux AMD drivers We need to give it some time.

[tymeksm]

Miners update:
- nanominer-v3.1.2 (Octopus (Conflux) performance improvements for Nvidia 1-10% depend on model. Nicehash support was added for Octopus)

[generalt]

Will you be adding support for the AMD RX 6800 series any time soon?
