[ANN] lolMiner-mnx, Mining MinexCoin(MNX) New version: v0.4 (July 22)

[beta1234]

thx für die neue Version

Wenn ich set "DEVICE=0,1,2" einstelle für meine 3 gpus, wird nur "0" genommen zum minen.
mit dem Befehl lolMiner-mnx.exe --list-devices in einer test.bat zeigt er mir aber alle 3 an, also 0,1,2 Devices

[mk111]

I have 2 x cards but it only pickups up one cards even when I used the following: set "DEVICE=0,1"
Please fix.

Thanks

Good work Lolliedeb!

In Ubuntu if run all the video cards in the same window, the performance drops very much. And the more cards, the lower the productivity of each.

How is your CPU load? Usually each GPU gets its own worker thread that is capsuled of the others.

As for the .bat problem: did you write in a password? When --pass is send to lolMiner the next element is treated as password. If you do "set "PASS=" this kind of kills the --device parameter.

What you can do is figuring out ideal commandline to run the miner without the .bat and then copy over the whole string to bat... that will also work

GPU load is only 10-15%


run_miner.sh file:

#!/bin/bash
POOL=mnx.suprnova.cc
PORT=7077
USER=andreassantonio.Andreassant3
PASSWORD=1
PLATFORM=0
DEVICE=0,1,2,3,4,5

cd "$(dirname "$0")"
while true
do
  ./lolMiner-mnx --server mnx.suprnova.cc --port 7077 --user andreassantonio.Andreassant3 --pass 1 --platform 0 --device DEVICE=0,1,2,3,4,5 $HOTFIX $@
  if [ $? -eq 134 ]
  then
    break
  fi
done

If start miner for each GPU - all work good.

for me too
2x1070+2x1060 = speed like 1x1070
and segmentation fault

But I asked for CPU not GPU ^^

Better try that way:

Code:

#!/bin/bash
POOL=mnx.suprnova.cc
PORT=7077
USER=andreassantonio.Andreassant3
PASSWORD=1
PLATFORM=0
DEVICE=0,1,2,3,4,5

cd "$(dirname "$0")"
while true
do
  ./lolMiner-mnx --server mnx.suprnova.cc --port 7077 --user andreassantonio.Andreassant3 --pass 1 --platform 0 --device 0,1,2,3,4,5 $@
  if [ $? -eq 134 ]
  then
    break
  fi
done

By the way: you did not use the hotfix ... you are running on AMD? Then I would recommend to use optiminer, that one is faster for AMD right now. For Nvidia you should add the --enable_nv_hotfix, because else it is likely that 6 GPUs will cause a lot of load and a segmentation fault - unless you have some Ryzen Threadripper or Intel equivalent in that system.

for me too
2x1070+2x1060 = speed like 1x1070
and segmentation fault

Can you show how you start the miner and what is the output of lolMiner-mnx --list-devices?

It' s my error, CPU load 10-15%. Not amd, my system: i7 7700 + gtx1060x6.

Hi all out there having problems with passwords or multi-GPU in Windows ... Unfortunately I included some broken .bat file where I confuse PASS and PASSWORD...
so here is how it should look like:

One more fix for 0.21 in the bank

Unfortunately this version runs like a 3 legged elephant on my 7x 1070 rig. Previous version, I can comfortably run two instances, getting around 12ksol on each card. This one gets me 7ksol at the beginning but frequently drops to lows of 500sols... I played around work batch, etc... nothing really helped. Back to v11 now. I hope you come up with a fix for multi gpu. Cheers!

[mk111]

Thanks changing PASSWORD to PASS fixed the issue where only device 0 was being used.


1 x 1070 on Windows 10 with V0.2 does 14000 sols
2 x 1070 on Windows 10 with v0.2 only does 7000 sols per card

I also tried enabling the Nvidia fix but it did not make any difference.


Good work sofar lolliedieb!

The Miner is closing and opening every 1-2 Sec....
Doesnt work for me, not with 2 gpus, and not with 3 gpus.. closing/opening loop from the Miner
But Its finding all 3 devices right

Der Miner schließt sich jede Sekunde bis 2 und öffnet sich wieder und zack direkt wieder zu, wieder auf usw...endlos
Er zeigt aber alle 3 Gpus richtig an

[r12x2]

0.2 version has increased sols for RX560 from 2600S/s to 3200S/s, but it's still low vs optiminer (5000S/s)

[promuckaj]

It is good to see that you put a lot of efforts in this project, it is good to have a good miner for this algo under windows, but not so much for MNX, there is not a lot of sense because Optiminer is way better then this(I understand it is still in early development), but please consider that MNX will change algo later this year.

Performance with this miner for nvidia pascal is very good: now nvidia cards with this miner perform at similar level or even better than equivalent amd ones with optiminer.

I hope you will add zerocoin equihash version too ...

[Dirtpaw]

Tested ver. 0.2 on linux, g4400 cpu, 6x 1070ti. Started the miner with 6x gpus. Hashrate was around 5k per card (ver. 0.13 13k per card), dropped to 2k sols per card, then dropped to 2 sols per card and then the rig restarted. Will try with different number of gpus tomorrow. Using hotfix did nothing, still low hashrate and rig restarts.

1xGTX1070 show 10kSol/s, less than prev release

[FuSioNmAn]

Try 0.2 on 4x rx480.
Bat file doesn't work. It call always device 0. I think that there is an error maybe in quotation of some char.
Launching by prompt with "--device 0,1,2,3" parameters it start on four card but goes to crash in few seconds.

[ZenoDiac]

The multiple GPU features does not work for me.
Adding --device 0,1,2,3,4,5 only splits the Hashrate between all the cards.
I have to run multiple instances of this v2 miner for it to hash properly, each with its own device. Will test if it crashes less.
