Hi Guys/Girls,
Long time no see.... I have been busy in other things...
Any how I come to give a small boost to your miners.
As we know the longer you run Windows the more fragmented memory gets. This is also true when using "Large Page File" setting.
This is not so much the case with windows server 2016 when mining the Hodl Algo. But it is the case with Windows 10 Home.
So today I am going to show you how to separate the 1GB mem your miner needs from the rest of your OS.
You will not see speed boost on the miner but server side (mining pool) you should see a small increace in shares over a longer space of time because the mem the miner is using is not becoming fragmented.
Open your BAT file and add
START /SEPARATE
To the start of your bat file.
So your config if mining on Supranova should look something like this....
START /SEPARATE
hodlminer-avx2.exe -o stratum+tcp://roi.suprnova.cc:4699 -u Cyrus.nod1 -p 1234 -q
pause
If you check task man you should now see the miner using 1gb of ram separated from the rest of windows.
Hope this helps you get a small % more than you are now
Raster.
EDIT:For anyone who is wondering this was done on a AMD 1800X running 8 threads. No over clock. Set to 8 cores no HT on the miner.
Earnings go from 0.45 per round to 0.6
Hash rate on miner (hodlminer-orava2018v2) reports as 805hs.
