Hi miners,

I am new here.

I just tested HIVEOS with our new Ravencoin (KAWPOW) pool (https://rvn.bsmith.io) and it works wonderfully.

Thanks to the team !!

I'm using HiveOS and yesterday PhoenixMiner(or any miner) does not detect any GPUs, but in HiveOS all GPUs(10 RX's) are detected? It was working the day before. anyone encountered this?

[darkdude]

for those of us running 4gb cards with lol 1.11 how do we enable the zombie mode or is it turned on by default?

no special options for this mode but you can clarify it here

I'm using HiveOS and yesterday PhoenixMiner(or any miner) does not detect any GPUs, but in HiveOS all GPUs(10 RX's) are detected? It was working the day before. anyone encountered this?

Which cards are trying?

[darkdude]

it seems in order to use the zombie mode in lol, we need to add a new parameter to the miner at boot called "keepfree" and provide a value.  Here is what they said.  Not sure how I can add the keepfree value from the HiveOS UI?

How to set it up

There is only one thing that lolMiner need to know to run the zombie mode successfully. This is the last epoch the miner can run without issues in the normal mining mode, so lolMiner does not allocate more memory then it can without messing things up.
The only parameter to influence this is “ keepfree” which gives the number of megabytes the miner shall not use on the card to reserve it for the system.
By default this value is set to 56 MBytes in Windows and 5 MBytes in Linux, which should work fine. But how to try out?
The easiest way is to benchmark lolMiner at an epoch that is larger then 383 — in this case all the 4G cards will enter the Zombie mode and use as much memory as the default “keepfree” allows. To do so run e.g. benchmark for epoch 385:

In Linux:
./lolMiner --benchmark ETHASH --benchepoch 385 --keepfree 5
In Windows:
lolMiner.exe --benchmark ETHASH --benchepoch 385 --keepfree 56

I downloaded the latest version of Hive Os( hiveos-0.6-156@200905) and it didn't work with 5600XT graphics cards.
I could not start mining, the miner wrote that no drivers for the video card were found.
I couldn't update the drivers and I had to use another Linux operating system for mining.
