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

[AndreasSantonio]

In Ubuntu sometimes the window of the miner simply closes. Is there a script for automatic restart?

For your Nvidia I recommend not to change work batch from default and use 2 cards in one instance without alternative mine thread. That should give least CPU load and best performance unless you have the "TeamViewer" bug.

Enabling multigpu Without options gives me much better hash rate
conf 2x1060 3gb (non TI) , 19600 sol/s ( about 9800 per card ) but crash randomly. Hope for 0.3v to solve issues.

Very good job.

work batch is default, but "TeamViewer" bug is present

conf 4xR9 270( not X)
--set-work-batch 8 
--set-sleep-duration 750 
70% cpu usage (new intel gxxxx on h61) , hash rate 16000sol/s ( 3800 - 4200 per card ) , stable 24h

I set work-batch to 6. Now stable for days and 4300sol/s(gigabyte 270 fab oc to 975MHz)
 
I did have some random problems. Like some cards lose connection to server but another card in same motherboard in that moment have connection, after some time another card same problem....  There was some error message but I forgot to save it. I restart miner and miner was slow in starting up. Restart computer...same problem, restart again everything is ok, so I don`t know what was the problem. Also then miner mine with normal hashrate but there is no found shares.

Hi all

finally I am back at my computer (was on a four days trip) and I am now pushing things for 0.3. Many people asked me in the meantime when this will come and what it will feature, so here is kind of the announcement:

lolMiner-mnx 0.3 will arrive between March 12 and March 16 if nothing unexpected happens

Features will be a complete rewritten stratum interface that hopefully is more stable and produces less crashes. Also I try to improve stability, buzzword: loosing single cards during mining. Finally I already found some improvements regarding hash-rate. I now can promise both vendors will gain at least 10%. Still I am searching for some more speed in particular on AMD cards.

Beside the 0.3 announcement I want to say that I am amazed by the feedback I got the last weeks. Thank you all very much for your comments and your help in finding all the bugs and so on. This said I also want you to know that the list of early adopters and helpers closed two days ago. I will prepare a list of all that are eligible of claiming their fraction of the bug bounty in the beginning of next week. If the current market share and luck continues I will send out more then 50 mnx to the helpers. Still I have to prepare a kind of bucketing on how much help I got so it is kind of fair for you. Will see ^^
By the way: the income from first two weeks are parked right now - will gain some extra % for you By the way 50% of unclaimed mnx will be divided to the ones how did their claim and the rest will be send to a mnx faucet.

So, thats the state of progress, hope to come with more news soon.
Stay tuned

keep up the good work!

I have been testing out your v0.22 lolminer running on my Dell laptop (7th gen i7 quad core CPU and M1200 Nvidia GPU) with ubuntu 16.04 and also Win10 and can confirm that Ubuntu produces a better Sol/s rate and is much more stable.

So far my average Sol/s using just the M1200 is about 3.6KS/s which is about x10 better than 1 core of the i7 CPU (I cannot seem to get it to use multiple cores), but today I purchased a "refurbished" HP Omen Accelerator so that I can try out using this with a proper GPU card, however with the current prices for something like a GTX1080ti it's not quite worth it.. so I might start with a used GTX 970 someone is selling nearby online.

If the GTX 970 is reported to be able to do 291.61 Sol/s for Zcash, what should I expect it to do with MNX?

[mnxfl]

970 mines at 9000 Sol/s. Even 750ti mines at 3900 Sol/s. Very efficient for Maxwell GPUs.
.22 has worked perfectly for me in Windows and Linux.

thanks for that... so my built in Nvidia M1200 supposedly performs at about 3500 Sol/s according to the output from lolminer but the stats shown online at eu.minexpool.nl are a bit wild, with an average of around 4K Sol/s

only 9000 Sol/s for a GTX 970?  I'll see if I can talk the guy down in price from £150 to £100 or less

Hey guys, I went through the whole topic and it seems nobody has a solution for the "Teamviewer" bug yet, right ?

Yes, my 1060s go from 10k to 4-5k sols when i disconnect

Keep up the good work!!!

Impatiently waiting for v.3 , on all my rigs are amd cards.

It's simple. Launch youtube for endless browsing

  yes it works perfectly.

Edit:Anyone got problem with payments yesterday? I received none.

[Newton90]

very good work.but need to fix "teamviewer bug".on my rig@6*1060/3 hashrate drop when teamviewer closed from 8 and 9(on diffrent cards) to 4 and 8 ksol.with --set-work-batch 3 hashrate on all cards drop to 6 ksol.

p.s. Lolliedieb,do you plan to create miner for zero(equihash192_7)?

I have solved this problem by changing the work-batch parameter to 8

[Lolliedieb]

Lets get this one stable and fast first ^^
Equihash 192 / 7 would be kind of interesting ... but also challenging since it consumes more then 256 times the memory then Equihash 96/5. When lolMiner is stable and fast enough I will surely give a try

[loewe1631]

I set up a minexcoin pool myself and it works fine when I use optiminer and I get it when I use lolminer

Hi

Today I want to start mining MNX with my nvidia  rig 6 GPU GTX 1060 6GB

In the cfg file I read that for multiple GPU we need to set the following:

--device 0,1,2,3,4,5

But when I run the miner it only shows device 0

Can somebody help me with this  ?

these are my settings

                                      # For AMD GPUs try higher values, e.g. 8 or 12 to optimize performance. Higher values increase GPU memory use of lolMiner-mnx.


### Display log configuration

#--set-long-stats-interval 60         # Uncommend to set the time interval (seconds) between the long term performance output. Set 0 to disable the output.

### Expert parameters - handle with care
#--use-alt-mine-thread                # Enables the mine thread handling of lolMiner-mnx 0.13. This will disable multi-GPU support.
                                      # Therefore only the first number in --device is handled. The Nvidia load hotfix is enabled by default.
                  # Currently Intel devices are only working with this switch enabled.

#--set-sleep-duration 1000            # Sets the time span between polling the GPUs for completed work in microseconds. Lower values may stabilize
                                      # the performance, but also increase CPU load for all vendors. Setting the value to 0 will make lolMiner-mnx use one full
                                      # CPU core by 100% for handling all devices. If this is used with "--use-alt-mine-thread" it will disable the Nvidia hotfix.
                                      # Higher values reduce CPU load but may reduce hash speed. Default is 1000 microseconds = 1 millisecond.
