mkxminer: Fast Lyra2Z/Lyra2rev2 miner for AMD GPU (ZCoin, GINcoin, VERT, MONA...

[cirlama]

Is it possible to use this miner as a third party with Nicehash miner Legacy (1.8.1. ?

You can point the miner at nicehash directly if you wish. Just choose the pool/stratum for the algorithm that you want to mine here - https://www.nicehash.com/help/which-stratum-servers-are-available

You can check your statistics and profits etc by looking up your btc wallet address on nicehash.

I'm still a noob at mining, how to "point it" at nicehash please ? Thanks.

you point your miner to
stratum+tcp://lyra2rev2.EU.nicehash.com:3347 (if you are in EU, or USA or...)

see
https://www.nicehash.com/algorithm/lyra2rev2

and as a wallet, you use your nicehash bitcoin address

example:
mkxminer.exe --asm -o stratum+tcp://lyra2rev2.EU.nicehash.com:3347 -u yourbitcoinaddress.optionalminer -p x -I 23

and remove .optionalminer if you don't want it

Ubuntu x64 mining from scratch step by step guide

Code:

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libc6:i386 libstdc++6:i386

Did this, but libOpencl.so.1 still not found. Reinstalled amdgpu-pro via its install script, but still not found.

Code:

sudo apt install libopencl1-amdgpu-pro:i386 opencl-amdgpu-pro-icd:i386 clinfo-amdgpu-pro:i386

This got it to run. However, it segfaults, but a forked process keeps running, doing nothing. Also, you need to implement something to disable extra nonce for p2pool:

And I can't seem to get it to run under gdb, not even with no args. It just "exits normally" with no output... do you have some debugger detection going on? Would love to be of more help, but paranoia in the way? This is a single r9-270, by the way, with amdgpu-pro version 17.50-511655.

If I use stratum+tls://vtc.suprnova.cc:5676 it does not segfault, but stratum+tcp://vtc.suprnova.cc:5678 does.

Update: If I leave it running for a while, it still segfaults eventually

trying to get mkxminer working on suprnova verge and getting an error stating error 500 and constant connecting and reconnecting...I'm using windows 10 64 bit and have 3 xfx 570's and one xfx 580 black. any idea what the hell wrong i'm doing wrong in my batch file or is there a problem with this miner xvg on suprnova. I see that they don't have any example miner config for amd cards for lyra2v2.

[Rewqpro]

Anyone managed to pull off more than 55 Mh/s with Vega?

This miner considered to be the most profitable for non-ETH only GPUs.. but Fury X giving the same hashrate as brand new Vega? Sounds uncool

Think about it for a moment...the only major differences are an increase in memory from 4 gb to 8 gb and a few architectural tweaks...its more evolution than revolution in design. vega 2 at 7nm is where it will get interesting...

There is a major difference in frequency: > 1400mhz for vega (depending on boost, volt ...), 1050 for fury x.
The difference in frequency should bring some increase in hashrate. This is the case for some algo but not for this miner.

The reason is that there is some assembly code, specific to a given architecture, which is pretty well optimized for fidji and not so well for vega.

[skablast]

Anyone have managed to mine in a pool different from suprnova ?
I keep receiving error 500

and  q doesn't work in that situation

[chey]

Will this miner work with the Ubuntu fglrx driver?

[tomfrank]

my score rx480,rx580 stock , asicpool:

 win7 64bit, newest drivers, 29-30mh per card, without --asm cose crashed, I-22 max
win10 64bit, blochchain drivers, 35-36 mh, --asm, I-23

temp. 74c, fan 40-50%

[cwatson1982]

you can use newest drivers if you turn compute off in radeon settings.

my score rx480,rx580 stock , asicpool:

win10 64bit, blochchain drivers, 35-36 mh, --asm, I-23

[Elder III]

What driver version are people using with this miner and the AMD R9 Fury series of GPUs? Does it require an older driver, or is the current AMD driver a good choice?

[techminer]

You would get sooooo many more users if you weren't so greedy and changed your donation to 1% and add allium (for garlicoin).
Food for thought my friend
My 36 RX570's would be with you

Can someone help me please?

Same. My workaround (on linux). In a screen session:

Code:

while true; do ./mkxminer -o stratum+tls://vtc.suprnova.cc:5676 -u <REDACTED> -p <REDACTED> -I 21 --asm | tee /tmp/mkxminer.log; sleep 5; done

And in another screen session:

Code:

while true; do ISODT=$(date --iso-8601=ns); if grep 'server reply - error 301' /tmp/mkxminer.log; then killall -9 mkxminer; mv -v /tmp/mkxminer.log /tmp/mkxminer_${ISODT}.log; else echo $ISODT; sleep 30; fi; done

Keeps it running most of the time. Seriously, this code is pretty bad. Just give up the source so we can fix it? Sigh.

[TravelFrog]

My GPU is Asus Dual RX580 mod bios, I am having 1 or 2 card sick or dead after 1 hours mining, average speed is 29~30Mh/s with Block chain driver 23 Aug.
The parameter I use is —exitsick —asm -I 20 only,
My card core on fresh reboot is 1150 and 2020 mem.

I do try —auto-fan it crash into blue screen immediately.

Anyone got overcome this strange issue?

Hey peeps, I built a 3 card gpu mining rig with an r9 270, r9 390, rx 480, Ive been trying to mine monacoin using the mkx lyra2rev miner with windows 10 but Ive been having so many problems that I started to mine other coins that are cryptonight since I dont seem to have many problems with that,

now before I built this 3 gpu rig I was just using the r9 270 with the mkxminer on windows 10 and I had 0 problems, I was getting 14mh steady and up to 16mh if I pushed it, now that I added all 3 gpus  I can barely get it to run for more than a few minutes without it crashing, no overcloaking, for the few minutes that it does run I get about half the mhs I do when I run them solo, I tested all cards by them selves and the rx 480 gets 28-30mhs and the r9 390 26-31mh and the r9 270 14-16mh, but as soon as I add all 3 together I get nothing but problems, they all get really hot super and if I crank up the fans to 100% the stay cool but it all still crashes, Ive tested both windows 7 and windows 10 with the same results, any help or suggestions would be much appreciated, thanks in advance

Are these GPUs all in the same closed case? That could be creating an issue with overheating that you may not have with Cryptonight (since it's allot less intensive on the GPUs). As for crashing and lower hashrate, have you tried increasing the virtual memory size (page file) to equal that of your combined VRAM plus a bit extra?

Hi Developer,

Is it possible to add feature to exit miner for DEAD gpu, I se eyou have option for SICK status of GPU, but not for DEAD.

Thanks.

Agree to you, it always comes up to driver-miner synergy. That being said, this miner is no longer most profitable since Claymore NeoScrypt has been developed.
Sorry to say that
