[Unofficial] Modded NiceHashMiner (v1.7.5.15-mod) (3rd party miners support)

[GTANAdam]

Mod version: 1.7.5.15-mod

Changelog:
1.7.5.15:

• Added Dual mining for more profit (DaggerSia, DaggerPascal, DaggerLbry and DaggerDecred) for Nvidia cards (I haven't tested AMD cards)
• Updated ClaymoreAMD_Dual miner to 9.4 to support Sia dual mining. (Make sure to download the 3rdpartyminers.zip)
• Revert "Graceful shutdown" commit from original repo, it causes more issues than it fixes
• Fix Lyra2REv2 Algorithm returning crazy ass numbers (i.e: 2000 USD/day)
• Debug console cleanup with a good looking profit table (http://imgur.com/a/JqQoD)

1.7.5.14:

• Imported "Graceful shutdown" commit from original repo
• Fixed extra launch params for EWBF Equihash (Nvidia) Miner

1.7.5.13:

• Sia mining support
• 3rd Party Equihash EWBF miner support
• Interface changes https://i.imgur.com/okPamLu.png

Note: Make sure to remove 'internals' folder before updating otherwise Extra launch params will not function!

Note: DaggerSia does not fully go through the benchmark automatically due to miner issues, manually input DaggerSia's hashrate

Note: Benchmark, currently, does not work with EWBF and Sia (ccminer), so input Benchmark Speed values manually from settings.
Also, do not confuse H/s with MH/s, 1.200 GH/s = 1200 MH/s = 1200000000 H/s, so when you input the value manually into the "Benchmark Speed (H/s)" of Sia, make sure to convert to H/s.

Install instructions:
1- Download 'NiceHashMiner_v1.7.5.15-mod.zip' and Extract
2- Run and let it download the default miners. (IMPORTANT)
3- Download '3rdpartyminers.zip' and extract the files into NicehashMiner's folder

im kinda weary about a 0 activity account posting a miner app....

any NH company members here vouch for this?

[GTANAdam]

I have absolutely no intention to cause any trouble, you can check the source code on the fork repo and even decompile the executable to make sure it does not contain any malicious code.

how to mine siacoins with it? It's still showing enter bitcoin wallet address.

You have to enter your BTC wallet address since this is mining on NiceHash pool and you also have to enter the Sia benchmark speed manually.
Importantly, do not confuse H/s with MH/s when inputting the speed, 1.200 GH/s = 1200 MH/s = 1200000000 H/s

It appears NH is officially working on version 2.0.0.0 so I assume there will be a large update in the future on that side.

Yes, but meanwhile they had forgotten to maintain their current miner app with the latest crucial improvements like Sia and the very requested EWBF equihash miner which is much more profitable than excavator

MINING WINDOWS STAY OPEN--

I tried this modded miner, and found that EWBF  consistantly mines faster and with less reduction in hashrate than Excavator.  However, the console windows for the miner stay open when the miner changes algo,  This results in several mining windows for each algo that has been engaged.

The miner does not "multi-mine" well with 3 Equihash windows and 2 NeoScrypt.  When a single window is open, it does great.       --scryptr

Thanks so much for this - working great here. I suggest -dcri 225 for DaggerSia on 1080Ti right now btw

I had to multiply my Lyra2REv2 speed by 1000 to get sensible numbers out of this build (and sorting is broken for profit > $9.99):

Thanks for this great work, i found additional 2 bugs:

1. Siacoin benchmark fails you need to override hashes manually, DaggerSia wont start unless you fix hashes for sia manually

2. EBWF even though when marked to work on one card starts on all in rig (problem when you have different cards in one rig equhash is not always best for all of them)

Thanks

EWBF HAS RELEASED A NEW VERSION (v3.4b)--

It is reportedly 2% faster and may be more stable.  It will definitely beat Excavator!  Any updates here?

I am currently using NHM 2.0.0.7a; it is relatively stable.  Your mod makes more BitCoin with EWBF, but I had stability problems with crashed or looping windows.

If you have new progress, or tips on how to run your mod, please post.  Thanks for your work.       --scryptr

EWBF LAUNCHES ALL GPUS--

Even if the GPUS are mining with another algorithm.  The result on my rig, 1x GTX 960, 5x GTX 750ti, was the GTX 960 mining Equihash at normal speed, and the 5x GTX 750ti cards dual-mining x11Gost and Equihash.  The x11Gost hashrate took a slight hit, 13.5 MH/s for the 5 GTX 750ti cards rather than 14.1 MH/s.  The GTX 750ti cards also mined Equihash at 1 to 3 Sols/s each.  Not very efficient or effective, but the cards did not crash.

If there is a command line flag to prevent this, please post it.  I'll start reading the EWBF documentation.         --scryptr

[alani123]

A post in the nicehash subreddit states that many miners running modded software were banned. Is this mod safe for that case? Would it be possible for nicehash to detect it?

[NewMinex1]

OpenCl.dll is missing error on Windows10 while benchmarking.

I am mining with Gigabyte 1080ti  Please help.
