[ANN] NicerMiner 0.5.8 - MPH mining app based on NHML v1.9.0.5

[mobileanarchy]

Fair enough, not long now
https://bitcoingold.org/bitcoin-gold-network-upgrade/

Not long at all :-)

Release 0.5.6 - 2018-07-03
Updated to sync with NHML v1.9.0.4
New miner: EWBF 0.3 Zhash miner (for BTG mining)
Please note that as of writing this release note, auto-exchange is unavailable for BTG, so profitability data is always 0 for this coin.
If you choose to mine this coin exclusively (without profit-switching), you will need to disable all algorithms except EquihashBTG, and then click on the "Start" button to begin mining.

Very nice release. Have been using the new EWFB miner today not realising that you had already released this
Couple of questions, have you included the "--fee 0" argument included in this? (and the regular EWFB miner for that matter)
Do you know what the lack of auto exchange on MPH due to? Not supported by exchanges straight after for or something?

[mobileanarchy]

I'm using the same parameters that are used for the "regular" ewbf miner.
It seems like --fee 0 is included.

Cheers.

Is there a new release coming for NHML 1.9.0.5?

[mobileanarchy]

I totally missed that.
Will get on it ASAP.
Thanks for the heads up.

[mobileanarchy]

Just an update:

I got NHML 1.9.0.5 fully synced with my code.
I'm working on adding CryptoDredge - it's API is a bit tricky to hook into the benchmarking process (they do not support benchmarking, so I have to actually begin mining and look for the result in the background)
I hope to get something out there tonight, or worst case tomorrow.
I also read the actual profitability data for BTG, and it seems like its one of the most profitable coins to mine right now on MPH (if you don't mind exchanging it yourself). The new version will bump EWBF to version 0.4.

Thanks for our patience.

Release 0.5.7 - 2018-07-31
Updated to sync with NHML v1.9.0.5
Upgraded miner: EWBF 0.4 Zhash miner (for BTG mining)
New miner: CryptoDredge 0.8.0 (Lyra2z, NeoScrypt, Skein, Lyra2REv2)
Please note that BTG auto exchange is currently off on MPH, so if you don't want to mine BTG, disable the algorithm EquihashBTG in the UI.

[bitbomber05]

Thanks for new release; good timing as auto exchange for BTG is now enable on MPH so its showing profitability!
I'm having issues with the new miner though. When ever i run a Cryptodredge algo the mining window pops up for a second then closes. It also doesn't seem to save benchmarks when I close and re-open NM 
One other thing is that ethminerlatest no longer seems to work, it wont hash.

[mobileanarchy]

That's odd. Any logs you can share?
What algo is it trying to mine using cryptodredge?

[bitbomber05]

Here's a log starting cryptodredge on neoscrypt but they all cryptodredge miners do the same thing.
https://pastebin.com/raw/fipBHYFU
It seems to be just the Lyra2REv2 cryptodredge algos which don't save the benchmarks, the others save ok.

Release 0.5.7a - 2018-08-02
Fixing an integration bug with CryptoDredge.

[bitbomber05]

Thanks. CD seems to be working now though its not showing profitability when mining.

[mobileanarchy]

I'll look into it tomorrow.
Thanks again for the heads up.

[mobileanarchy]

Just an update:
I fixed the CryptoDredge API issue (what a pain).
I also upgraded CryptoDredge to version 0.8.3 (which had additional API fixes to improve reliability)
Also upgraded EWBF to version 0.5

I'll submit a new version tomorrow. I want to let it run overnight to make sure it's good to go.

Cheers.

[mobileanarchy]

Upgraded CryptoDredge to version 0.8.3
Upgraded ethminer to version 0.15.0

Nice release, running now and all looks good. Thanks for this.

Unless I missed something Nicerminer is about to be unable to mine Monero which is going to hardfork any moment now!
https://coinguides.org/monero-network-upgrade-v8-cnv2-beryllium-bullet/

The version of NHML that supports it is here:
https://github.com/nicehash/NiceHashMinerLegacy/releases/tag/1.9.0.7
You have some work to do! 

JCE MIner:
You said you had an issue getting it to work?
Did you read this?

Third Party integration

If you're a Mining Tool dev (like Forager or Awsome Miner...) and want to integrate JCE, here's a good command to spawn JCE. Most parameters are similar to other common miners.

Code:
jce_cn_cpu_miner64 --auto --any --forever --variation FORK --low -o POOL:PORT -u WALLET -p PASSWORD --mport MONITOR SSL

And replace:

    FORK by the Fork number, see list below, or set 0 for automatic
    POOL:PORT by the pool address (name or IP):(port), e.g. pool.minexmr.com:4444
    WALLET by the miner wallet
    PASSWORD by the miner password
    MONITOR by the local HTTP monitor server port
    SSL by either nothing, or "--ssl" if SSL is to be used

To monitor the miner, read http (not https!) at localhost:MONITOR and you'll get some simple JSON like

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3281187.0

This is the fastest Monero Miner, especially for older CPUs, and does the previously mentioned optimizations automatically.

Again; I recommend taking the time to get it properly integrated into NicerMiner.
It's what I'm running and Im liking the 0% ((to you) dev fee!

I just checked to see what Nicerminer was doing.
It's mining away merrily using cryptonight V7...  to where???
It's not mining Electronium or any other V7 coin on MPH as far as I can see?
Hmmmm...!???!

[bitbomber05]

New version would be good. @mobileanarchy any plans to update it?
