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

[Whatqq]

My apologies,

The link for windows brings up the google drive file however upon requesting to download i get "Google Drive - Infected file" Sorry, this file is infected with a virus

Only the owner is allowed to download infected files. Tried to access files on multiple PC's

Hey Lolliedieb,

Link is broken please fix.

Thanks

First: is it really required to quote the full post here?
Second: what link is broken? I just hit both links (Linux / Windows) and were able to load both files ... so what are you referring to?

[pitt59]

the link on first page google drive wont let me download it saying because it has virus i disabled my av still same result, im tryng to download the windows version

Hmm

It may be that this is due to the watchdog that promts a request for admin rights...
Wait a few minutes, I will upload a package without the watchdog and release the watchdog sources here  - hope that solves the problem


Edit:
Here it is: lolMiner-mnx for Windows 64 without watchdog
MD5 Checksum of this file: 4381c6502dfbd6d0143faf56aad5abf4

I just checked it and this one is not detected virus by google drive.
The only thing missing here are two files that are open source anyway, so here is the source for those who want to have a look and want to put them to their system, too:

The watchdog is the same as of 0.34, but with the GPU reset routine that caused trouble with OC cards deactivated by default. If you have many problems with GPUs not recovering from 0 sol/s then modify line 19 to $global:allowReset=$true.

I hope this fixes the problem.
Sorry for having so, but on the other hand I am glad that the files on google docs are tested. Well this is a false positive but I can understand why and being careful is better then catching a virus

How to run Watchdog?

It looks like you are using older version of the Windows and consequently older version of Power Shell. Watchdog uses some functionality not supported on older versions of PowerShell. Check this link about how to upgrade your version of PowerShell, choose 5.1 version:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/scripting/setup/installing-windows-powershell?view=powershell-6

You can upload lolMiner-mnx 0.34 beta on MEGA.NZ to solve the problem for many downloaders. Why only google drive is option for download ?

[tembox]

To lolMiner-mnx dev,

Mining with only one GPU, unchanged nvidia 1060 6GB GPU setting, running on windows 7 x64 :

and with almost no changed lolMiner-mnx miner setting on same pool,
(on v0.34 I just execute "run_miner_classic.bat"),

why hash rate different so much between v0.31 and v0.34?

the setting :

Can you make hash performance back again like v0.31 or maybe better on next version?

Thank you

[Lolliedieb]

That is a good question - I do not know, but lets try out switching off what has changed . It could be that the card has trouble with the double buffering. Try what happens when you switch that off. Also would like to know what happens with --optim STD its then still slower.

Hi Lolliedieb, thanks for reply

Here they are :

-disable double buffer and optim OFF

-disable double buffer and optim STD

-default v0.34 setting

Look like v0.31 still better hash rate to me, but I am concern about bugs fix or new feature like "New internal stratum behavior" which applied to newer version.


*btw, sorry to ask this noobs thing :
how to show images directly to this post?


Thank you

Is there a way to mine at a fixed difficulty on the Forgetop pool? I have tried "WALLET_ADDRESS.1000" and "-pass d=1000" without success. My rigs (v0.31) are unstable without fixed difficulty, instances crash randomly. Fixed difficulty setting on the other hand virtually never crashes any instance.

I must be doing something wrong with the GTX 1080 because I'm only putting out 16.5ksols not 19k as stated here. (V.34)
Work batch is set on HIGH and i've tried optimization on STD and OFF, both have returned same hashrates.
Any GTX 1080 miners willing to share their config if you're getting much more than 16.5ksols?

[especial]

Hey guys, i have a strange problem, i have in my rig Ryzen 1800x, RAdeon r9 280 and GTX 1080TI
The miner shows strange activity, it disables r9 280, and gives some pnp errors and then trying to disable some HD 3400 and in the end it just starts GTX 1080ti, no matter what i do, i cant start mining on R9 and ryzen....

For 19k+ you need windows 7 64bit + overclock, i have core +150 memory + 800, power at 80%

i get 19,4k. If i use windows 10 i get only 16-17k with same settings

[vmLogger]

I am currently testing your miner, it's showing as connected to mining pool: eu.minexpool.nl,  giving average speed and getting new jobs. However, I am not seeing my worker on the pool workers list, what could be the prob?

Lol, I think you mean't to reply to me. I am running on Win10 +50 core and +250 memory, 85% power (It is a Strix model so I think there is some factory overclock too). That there is my problem. I have a win7 system but curently lacking a decent PSU for it. So I'll give it a try after I get a new PSU. Thanks.

As far as your problem goes, from my experience I've had to run two separate miners for AMD and NVidia cards. For nvidia platform 0 device allgpu, for amd platform 1 device 0.

And I feel like a noobie dum dum. A slightly better overclocking is doing the trick. Got 'er up to 18ksols now.

Where can I download lolminer-mnx v 0.1 or 0.11 ?

Why do you need to download the old version?

Older versions of miners are inefficient and unstable.
However, I have a v0.13 miner(Windows version). Shall I upload?
