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

[josywong]

Hi all,

see first post in this thread,
0.32 is out 

Only smaller changes this time, but in particular since we were suffering from some mining pools under attack the last week the update may be welcome, since it fixes the problems the miner had on startup.
I will now concentrate on 0.4

Have fun mining.

@Lolliedieb Thanks dude for your hardwork and we, the miners are really appreciate it, but if you have a time kindly fix the 8gpu limit problem of your miner.. Thanks

miner definitely working with more than 8 cards

That's nice, how you do that? Are you using the v.32? Can you please share with me your .bat file config? I am using 13 rx 570 cards.. I just want to try the latest version, I think I miss something in my bat file..

Thanks dude!!

default bat, nth special. win10 1709. try to ddu and reinstall driver.
my windows had problem with 12th card and i had to reinstall the driver

Go with any other pool but suprnova. It's not good for one pool to have more than 50% of total hashrates. Maybe try the pool being promoted above. It currently has no mining fee.

Lolliedieb,hi. I have a question for you. Is it possible to make the --optim and --set-work-batch parameter set for each video card separately? This is necessary if there are different video cards.

As always great work Mr. Lolliedieb! I will definitely going to try the latest version and let see if this version solve the 8gpu limit, once again, thanks a bunch!

Good news, everyone!
New mining pool for MinexCoin!
http://MinexPool.xyz
Mining fee is 0% until 01.05.2018, minimal payment is 0.1 MNX
Welcome!

Telegram Support Group: https://t.me/minexpool

What's the mining fee going to be after May 1, 2018? If it's 0.5% or less, then I'd definitely try out your pool.

It is a wonderful commission.

Can I change the number of payment?
If change is possible I will switch from Suprnova.

The newest version 0.32beta has a problem staying connected to pool. After a few hours (totaly random) miner continues hashing (and spending electricity) but worker is not connected to the pool (not mining for me).

What pool did you use to mine minexcoin? Mine is stable with 4gpu's i remove the other gpu in shift to eth algo, I hope the 8gpu limit will resolve soon by the @Dev

At the moment this won't work, but for the next version it will likely be. For work batch I can guaranty it, with optim I am not sure because I will do some rework of the OpenCL code and therefore the exact way optim will work is not yet fixed

As you may have read in the previous page: There is no limit by lolMiner. It can use all cards it gets reported by the OpenCL drivers without any internal restriction, therefore there is nothing I can fix.
When running Windows you must have recent Windows 10 version and recent GPU drivers. Additionally if you have AMD GPUs it seems that the blockchain drivers have problems with more then 8 GPUs. On the regular AMD Crimson drivers you still have to set the GPU profile to "Compute", here is a manual how it is done:

Why so bold?  No need to highlight your text that way - I am reading every post here! Can you send me the console log of your miner when this happens? Usually when the connection does down I should be able to see something in this logs. Also miner should reconnect or something like this when a share is send but it doesn't get an answer from pool. So either something is broken on pool side or one of my many safety mechanisms is not working properly (e.g. Reconnect to pool when no new job for 10 minutes, reconnect when no response to send share for 10 seconds, miner should stop sending work to GPU when there is no connection on the user connector (when fee one is broken it should get slower but not stop working) ... ) You see there are certain things that should prevent this, but I can not say why this does not work, so your config file and the text log of the miner in such a situation would be great so I can hunt down this bug.

Hi!
I have 2 fourcards rigs with same problem - 2 GPU's hashrate mutch lower than others 2.

[Device 0] Average speed (5s): 12551.9 sol/s
[Device 1] Average speed (5s): 7562.11 sol/s
[Device 2] Average speed (5s): 7417.15 sol/s
[Device 3] Average speed (5s): 12431.9 sol/s

Risers - OK, PSU's - OK.
Motherboards - Gigabyte ga-970a-ds3p fx.
GPU's - MSI GTX 1060 Gaming 3GB.

My command file:
@echo off
:loop

goto :loop

Can anybody help me?
Thanks a lot.

I have seen this only twice yet  - on Ubuntu systems - but could be the same reasons. Can you have a look how much your system load is? It seems this happens when the miner does not get enough CPU time to load all cards with their task all of the time. One solution could be to manually set the priority of the miner to "higher" - this solved it for the one guy.

The second case was in my own testing system - a 1080 starting at 19k sol and then after some time dropping to 14.5k while the 2nd card still working at high rate. Here the slower card went so hot that it was thermal throttling. Open the case and allowing higher fan speed solved this. Whats the output of nv-smi when your cards are running?

Thank you.

Will try with CPU.

Sory for stupid question, but what is nv-smi? If you mean temperatures - it's <60C.

set the priority of the miner to "higher"

Not helped to me. Thank's

Hello!

Do we have a restart option for the miner? I get error once a day, it stops the miner.

And did someone get all of the GPU working on the same hashes?

Sorry mate, seemed a great idea at the time.  

I noticed problem on a few rigs, which are not at the same location (or ISP). I use a plain config file with only pool (mnx.suprnova.cc), port (7077), and my login credentials changed. I will copy and paste log the next time it happens, but the last time it was ordinary, just showing correctly hash (all 5 cards working) but no submitting or accepted shares, just the hashes. Worker goes off the pool, and the only thing i do is just closing the miner and restarting it again, and it works like a charm, worker reappears and everyting is ok. I will post it next time it happens, but it looks plain, like this...

[Device 0] Average speed (5s): 8228.88 sol/s
[Device 1] Average speed (5s): 8544.64 sol/s
[Device 2] Average speed (5s): 8699.02 sol/s
[Device 3] Average speed (5s): 8528.66 sol/s
[Device 4] Average speed (5s): 8620.33 sol/s
[Device 0] Average speed (5s): 8374.28 sol/s
[Device 1] Average speed (5s): 8435.19 sol/s
[Device 2] Average speed (5s): 8431 sol/s
[Device 3] Average speed (5s): 8510.09 sol/s
[Device 4] Average speed (5s): 8481.73 sol/s
[Device 0] Average speed (5s): 8521.1 sol/s
[Device 1] Average speed (5s): 8533.89 sol/s
[Device 2] Average speed (5s): 8554.89 sol/s
[Device 3] Average speed (5s): 8435.51 sol/s
[Device 4] Average speed (5s): 8528.69 sol/s

Maybe I should try --max-connection-attempts <number> command set to 5 or something like this, as I'm using plain config file with only login credentials changed?
