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

[oli123]

I tried mining with mkxminer v.2 on stratum+tls://mona.suprnova.cc: 3001. Miner goes perfectly is very powerful. Compared to sgminer, this is an incomparably more powerful program.
On my mining rig, the RX480 achieves such results: https://imgur.com/PDMkr2t
On the first page are approximate GPU card performance. I only reach 26 Mh/s.
How to get the RX 480: 36MHs ? I have four msi RX480 8GB (1303/2000 Mhz) and no overclocked GPU cards.

Are you using the "best' batch file that comes with the miner? That should give you 33-34 mh/s at stock settings based on the testing I've done on a Rx 480 8 gb.

I use this setting for gpu. I forgot to add that bios are original without modification.

Code:

setx GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 0
setx GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100

mkxminer.exe -o stratum+tls://mona.suprnova.cc:3001 -u user -p pass -I 19

pause

Try it with "-I 23" as recommended by the developer. It's what we use as well for Rx 470, Rx 480 and Rx 570,  Rx 580 - we get 33-34 Mh/s on both the Rx 480 and Rx 580s (8 total GPUs, with 1 exception that only does 30 for some reason).

I tried to give the original intensity 23 as you type but writes that high intensity: https://imgur.com/a9GrAs0.
So I lowered to 22 and the resulting value is 30 Mh/s here is the screen: https://imgur.com/CWOPvkZ.
Consumption is 970 W at this setting and core temperature also 75 degrees, which is quite high for me.
I'm trying to reduce the GPU rate as Mhz and core voltages and later I will publish my results.

Greetings....

I'm currently running a multi-gpu rig.
I have AMD and Nvidia cards
I'm having issues trying to get mkxminer to run using the AMD gpu's.

[15:26:00 - 0 days 00:00:05] GPU#0: AMD Radeon (TM) R9 380 Series
[15:26:00 - 0 days 00:00:05]
[15:26:00 - 0 days 00:00:05] Press Ctrl+C to exit application

It always starts to log in on the Nvidia (then gets booted) says that I need AMD cards, finds my cards then closes.
I have tried -d 1 and -d 0 and various other configurations to get it to ignore my Nvidia cards but I get a "No such device" error, or it starts up on the Nvidia again.
Also, if I -d 0 it starts on the Nvidia again.

Two questions here.

1. Is it possible that my PC is thinking that two cards are in 0?
2. How can I circumnavigate around the issue, to run just the AMD cards?

Set up is running Windows 10 on a 6700k i7, as if that should make any difference.

try  --platform   0 , 1 or 2

use --asm

I used the --asm parameter, the miner ran but froze the whole comp. So hard reboot. File with -I 22 --asm = froze
File without -I 22 only with --asm miner dont mining: https://imgur.com/kjbHF3r

So how big is devfee with this miner?

[preda]

wow this miner is very fast!!!

thanks a lots i really like it

i will let you know in next days

4x rx 480 8gb 35mh each on Mona great results!!!

Not working with "Tonga".

Hello winmkx,

Thank you for creating this program.

I have been trying to use it but no matter what I try, the program never starts mining, it just goes back to the command prompt without giving any reason why.

Please take a look at everything I tried so far (as a clarification, Sgminer says my AMD cards are on platform 1):

Needs work but promising (Y)

[EMWEE]

So is this miner legit or not? I read a lot of different things. Is it only working on nicehash and what is the dev fee?

[tf2addict]

What is dev fee?

[oli123]

So is this miner legit or not? I read a lot of different things. Is it only working on nicehash and what is the dev fee?

I can not answer all your questions, but at least one. Version 1 worked only on the nicehash pool. The current version also works on the suprnova pool.

Thanks for the fast reply oli123. Does the rewards on suprnova are some sort in ratio with the hashrate you got? Will see if i can get it running on a rig tomorrow and post my results.

[fr4nkthetank]

The miner works.  of course dont run anything mining related on computers that have bitcoin on them   It can only connect to TLS ports, so that limits the pools you can go to.  Your performance will vary and the miner is just a normal miner, nothing fancy.

[winmkx]

Update: a new version that works with suprnova VTC pool will be released today in about 12 hours!

So you will be able to mine your Vertcoin.

[PanzerSheriff]

Any chance for a XZC (ZCoin) version?

[marcos5872]

Update: a new version that works with suprnova VTC pool will be released today in about 12 hours!

So you will be able to mine your Vertcoin.

And today VTC halving is done XD.

[preda]

this miner working perfectly good with my 4x rx 480 mining mona!!! thanks!!!!!

[cogitech]

Would REALLY love a Linux version of this miner !!!

[winmkx]

Update: the new version that works with VTC suprnova pool is ready, but release is delayed. Hopefully not for a long time. Initial difficulty on vtc pool is too high, should be an easy fix. Once it's fixed, the new version will be released.
