Megaminer 6.3 - Multi pool / Multi Algo launcher

[cashen]

Great update. I have taken out nicehash for now.

[tutulfo]

I use my desktop when not using it, but with the GPU groups, AMD miners are wrong.  It launches the identical miner for my Nvidia card.

@@GPUGROUPS=[{"GroupName" : "NVIDIA","Type":"NVIDIA","GpuPlatform":"0","Gpus":"0"} , {"GroupName" : "AMD","Type":"AMD","GpuPlatform":"1","Gpus":"0"} ]

PlatformId Type
---------- ----
         0 NVIDIA
         1 Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.

I've tried GPUPlat 1 or 0 and GPUs 1 or 0 and same result.  Any idea?

Your GPU is 1, play with GPUplatform value.

GpuList.bat GPU platform data are not correct, I´m looking for an alternative.

I think rule could be....AMD GPU Platform equal to

0: only AMD, no integrated GPU
1: only AMD, with integrated GPU
1: AMD and NVIDIA mixed rig, no integrated GPU
2: AMD and NVIDIA mixed rig, with integrated GPU

for nist5 @ AMD sgminer
sgminer -k talkcoin-mod -o stratum+tcp://algo.poolurl.org:3833 -u YOUR_WALLET_ADDRESS -p c=whatever -I 20 --gpu-platform 1

¿?

I wanted to test with an AMD 580/460 rig at an autoexchange pool and NIST5 is not in the list of ALGO

prospector is using i3-4130 IGPU too on my test rig when hashing SKUNK, would prever not to do this

[gregfromo]

AMD sgminer PHI algo isn't listed too.

tutulfo, I hope it's ok not to write much text, I don't want to sound unfriendly, or is it better to PM?

[vuli]

for AMD,try "GpuPlatform":"2", This works for me for example.

[gregfromo]

EXCAVATOR is not usable with AMD, the benchmarking is stuck at this point.

I have removed excavator and prospector on 5.0 release, are a little "strangers". For Nvidia they arent fastest miner on any algo, for AMD?

change @@gpuplatform on 4.X releases or @@GPUGROUPS on 5.X releases

Hello
I just start to test latest version avalible to download and i have small problem on my 2xgtx 1080ti rig.

Im mining on automatic mode (first option) MPH + zpool and after each interval ends i get bunch of this errors:

You cannot call a method on a null-valued expression.

At the end of interval megaminer stops mining current coin and swich to another. PROBLEM is related ONLY on automatic mode and COIN selection mode - if i swich to automatic24 mode there is no more problem. I dont know how to correct this problem...

I narrow down the problem --- it seems theat problem is specific to miningpoolhub (automatic or coin selection mode)... I test this with zpool and hashrefinery with no problems. So in my case mining on miningpoolhub produce strange errors.

PS:I did not have problems on version 4.8 and 5.0 b1

No problem, for questions post a message in this thread, for bugs best way is open an issue on github


You can add algos editing miner file, it is very easy.  If Pool where you are mining has that algo MM use it.

Be careful with master branch from github...is alpha code.

OK i did not know files on github are not final version;)

So where can i download latest stable relese? not on github? Im sorry for newbe questions but previusly i did mine using multipoolminer so i decide to tray MM.

You can download from github, in releases sections. When I test on my rigs I launch a new release.

THANKS - i did find last relese version on github. Thanks for pointing out. Works great back again.

change @@gpuplatform on 4.X releases or @@GPUGROUPS on 5.X releases

gpuplatform 2 is not working in 4.8
5.0b2 does not find miners, I changed config to:
@@GPUGROUPS=[{"GroupName" : "AMD RX","Type":"AMD","GpuPlatform":"1","Gpus":"0,1"}

[tutulfo]

5.0 beta 2 release

*Added CPU mining option   
*Added JayDdee cpu miner
*Added XMrig cpu miner
*Added Pool Nanopool
*Added CastXMR for Vega --> not tested, help needed
*Added Claymore Cryptonote 9.7 (some people has problems with 10.2)
*Removed Pool Nicehash until it works again
*Yiimp Automatic mode come back (API seems responsive now)
*Added more gpu info on current screen (Clocks, Pstate)
*Enhaced ethash algo pools compatibility
*Automatic Profit screen layout based on number of gpu groups
*Removed dual mining with Pascal (Pasc), reason: dead coin
*Added Start time in wallets screen
*Added Mining mode in history screen
*Added best algo/miner combinations for NVIDIA Maxwell


*Fixed: dualmining not working
*Fixed: error while benchmark not getting automatic cancelation
*Fixed: other small reported bugs
*Fixed: incorrect platform id shown on GPUlist.bat



*THIS VERSION REQUIRES 5.0 FORMAT CONFIG.TXT FILE, IF YOU UPGRADE FROM PREVIOUS RELEASE YOU MUST DOWNLOAD AND CONFIGURE AGAIN!!!


REMEMBER....BETA RELEASE...BE CAREFULL!!!!

[4ward]

5.0 beta 2 release

...

1. prospector is the best skunk miner for amd, so you should keep it
2. pascal may be dead, but there is PASL (on same algo), which is alive
3. cpuminer-opt 4way version supports only a few algos, you can check in his post. Also for the cpuminer, you miss the most profitable (most of the time) m7m algo

Nothing seems to trigger the AMD card at all.  It opens CCMiner two times for every benchmark regardless of the setting.
MPM works fine, it auto detects and sets the parameters automatically.  I would take a look at that.
