SRBMiner Cryptonight AMD GPU Miner V1.9.3 - native algo switching

[ManDoneKTM]

What about hashrate on Vega56@64, RX580 4GB and RX570 4GB on CNGPU algo ?

One issue that I've been getting since earlier versions is that, while mining on a pool with multi-algo support (MO), sometimes the miner will just close without any apparent reason. The command prompt window just closes. When checking the log, nothing abnormal was happening. Sometimes the last line on the log is an algo change, sometimes is submitting a share. Miner just closes. Any idea of what may cause that or what else can I do to test more and provide more feedback?

I confirm this issue for V8. My cards are running fine with 1.7.0. After I upgraded to 1.7.8 they work several hours and this happens. This is not related to a card crash, the voltage etc. settings remain intact and after restart everything works OK.

V1.7.9
- Added new Monero algo 'Cryptonight R'
- Added algo 'Wownero'
- Added algo 'Conceal'
- Added algo 'Zelerius'
- Added algo 'Xcash'
- Replaced 'Mox' algo with new 'Mox V8' algo
- Added parameter 'maxnosharesent' in cmd
- Added parameter 'randomnonce' in cmd
- Added parameter 'enablecoinforking' in cmd
- Added algo switching info in json and on html stats page
- Lot of bug fixes

+ Monero will fork to a new algo 'Cryptonight R' soon. You can use for cryptonight_type 'normalv4', 'cryptonight_r' or just 'monero'.
+ Wownero already forked to a custom version of 'Cryptonight R'
+ Xcash can be mined by using 'xcash' or 'heavyx' for cryptonight_type
+ Conceal and Zelerius will fork too
+ Mox algo is now replaced with the new Mox V8 algo, so if you want to mine it until the fork, use previous version of SRBMiner

+ There was already a built in watchdog that restarted miner if no share was sent to the pool for 20 minutes. A new parameter was added so user can set this time : --maxnosharesent value in seconds (min. 1 min , max. 120 min)
+ Parameter --randomnonce creates totally random nonces for every gpu thread. This is like the 'i'm feeling lucky' button on Google
+ Json API and stats page now contains some info about algoswitching (if used)

+ Parameter --enablecoinforking allows miner to switch to an algo if the fork is predefined in the miner. If enabled it will auto switch for MONERO, CONCEAL AND ZELERIUS in this version (sorry Mox).
Don't use this parameter on a pool that does algoswitching, because it can think that wow is cn/r

How will this look for Monero fork:

start.bat
.
.
.
SRBMiner-CN.exe --enablecoinforking --config Config\config-normalv8.txt --pools pools.txt

Explained :
1. Start mining with normalv8 algo, because Monero still uses that algo
2. Add --enablecoinforking parameter so miner knows you want to use the built-in (predefined) fork informations
3. When pool sends a job for the new algo, miner will auto switch to the new algo, that must be defined in algos.txt
4. By default the new Monero algo 'normalv4' is already defined in algos.txt, so if you won't remove it everything will be fine

+ A big reorganisation happened in the miner code, so hopefully the misterious 'crashing out of nowhere' is fixed. I really hope.

Please guys who have this random crashing issue try the new version and report back.

Thank for the new version Doc !! 

Can u explain --randomnonce for complete noobs like us, u mentioned its  Im lucky button, so does that mean we should use it?

P.S: That Coinforking was a great parameter in time saving

New algorithm Hashrates:
Run on 6 Vega 64 in 18.6.1, and averaged to single card numbers
All run using default SRB config files
All run in Same overclock setting -> stable
So lower power and higher HR can also be acheived

Algorithm	Hashrate	Power	Notes
MoX	4195	215	4500 HR and 190 watt before fork is this drop extected? or cause of some 'old_mode'?
GPU	1800	230	Intersting to note this algo isnt even using Memory like other CN variants
Zelerius	2635	210
Conceal	4050	195	Power usage isnt stable, keeps fluctuating widely
Wownero	1970	210
Cryptonight R	1965	210	Future XMR : Same clocks -> 2.25% drop in HR
NormalV8	2010	210	Current XMR : Same clocks
NormalV7	2120	180	Algo before current XMR : Same clocks
Xcash	1020	205

Cn/R hashrate will be +-3% because of the random math on every new block.

Is any one else getting errors in V1.7.9 trying to run merged mining where the password is the second wallet addr?

V1.7.9

test tube2 algo with rx 570 4gb

1.7.9 rate 862

back to 1.7.8

[stepero]

The same problem on MOX, also the farm began to be overloaded. Returned to V1.7.8.

Mox algo in 1.7.9 is the new POW that will go live in a few days, so that's why its not working right now (you could read this few posts above).

Every time i release a new version you write some wrong information. And that's really every time
Same card, same settings, same pool, just SRB version is different.

[nordmann666]

its more stable now...less self closing windows

[doktor83]

its more stable now...less self closing windows

less closing or no closing ?

[nordmann666]

less ...but maybe it´s other related - i dont have any messages about compute errors and every (+-2hours) 8 hours the mining process stopps and awesome miner restart the miner. sometimes there is still the cmd window of the stopped mining process (if this happened i know that SRB miner himself was stopped and not restartet by awesome miner)

my second rig (if i use 2 SRB instances and one card crashes i cant reboot rig or do anything else and have to hard reset it) works very good now - had to set core mv much higher that no GPU is crashing

Guys is it working on Vega 64 to set compute mode ?
i registery edited my GPUs (to 1050 memclock & using 18.6.1 adrenalin driver) and i want to know if compute mode will help me to perform better on mining or not.
and one more problem i have on this miner is that  pools and batfile are seperated and i dont know how to set my miner to mine with only one batfile without using other .txt files.
if you just make an example for vega 64 batfile ( that is not related to pool.txt) that will be really helpful.

yes
