What do I need to do to make it work?

Does your machine have an internet connection?

I'm pretty much a noob in Linux... But would creating a bootable USB stick with Ubuntu work out of the box? i.e. would it be just as easy as that downloading the miner onto it and hash away?

Ubuntu will not work right out of the box since it won't have drivers.  HiveOS will have amdgpu-pro drivers for Polaris GPUs out of the box.  For Vega you're best off installing Ubuntu and then installing drivers from the ROCm 1.7 repos.

My rigs requires the generation 2 setting and I hope this version is compatible.

Polaris with amdgpu-pro drivers will work with gen2 pcie.  Vega on ROCm will not work on gen2 pcie (requires gen3).

Ok, but if I install HiveOS it won't have TDXminer on, will it.
Would I be able to install it manually?

This is quite interesting. I'll follow this thread for any information about a future Windows version....

Right, tdxminer is not available by default in HiveOS and you will have to download it.
If you're using a graphical interface, the distro should have a browser and archive extractor installed.
If you're using a terminal interface, you can run the following command to download and extract the archive:

Code:

wget -O - https://github.com/todxx/tdxminer/releases/download/v0.2.2.2/tdxminer-v0.2.2.2.tgz | tar -xz

In either case, you will need a terminal to run the miner.

you are going to make me install linux.

There is no version for the windows here and it is going to take some time.

Right, many thanks for that, I'll have to give it a go!

looks like miner works fine on HiveOS, but cant mine for dev fee

Code:

Stats GPU 0 - lyra2z: 3.222Mh/s (3.219Mh/s)
Dev pool coonection was closed due to an error.

its my fault, HiveOS problems, my provaider block or dev pool out of service?
And how much rate is reduced? 3.2 its after reduce of rate or before?

No Windows version?

Are u going to make miner for 1080ti?

[iTiamo]

What is the power usage like for RX 570/580? Anyone with some info on this?

[SuppaHash]

Great work you got there, 3% is a low dev fee when RXs mine together with 1080TIs, the kernel can fit an rx460/560? or is there too much work to do? Wanna mine lyra on the little guys too!

What is the power usage like for RX 570/580? Anyone with some info on this?

from 120w to 140w per GPU, depending on how much you can overclock and undervolt!

Thanks for the information about the power draw for the Rx 570/580s. It appears that lyra2z doesn't offer the significant power savings when compared to mining that algorithm on Nvidia. :/ It's still good to have more options in any case.

Hi, I'm having 5x RX570, it uses 620W from wall and gives 14.5 MH/s. they work on 1500 or 1750 MHz.

Out of interest, what Linux distro do you use?

im getting about 3 mh/s per card at about 100-110 watts per.
580 8gb, reference blowers
Using HiveOS
install was easy
1:use built in midori to dl the miner
2:use built in Roxterminal to "tar -xf" the downloaded miner
3: cd into the the unzipped folder, run miner
"./tdxminer -a lyra2z -o POOL:PORT -u USER -p PASS"

works 100% out of the box on Hive, SO nice  no installs needed

Ok I'm going to have to give it another go.
The first time around I got stopped by the fact I couldn't run the rig out of IGFX (and all the pain that ensues with bios-flashed cards - no more access to bios etc). But this sounds too good to pass on.

ohhh, ya my hive runs on a green card for the graphics, but my RX cards, i flashed them in windows first, but ya so i havent had that trouble
hope you get it figured out, this miner is sik for AMD cards, and it gives us a dece advantage over those who refuse linux Os's

Thanks.  It's nice to hear people are enjoying the miner

Adding support for rx460/560 with the amdgpu-pro drivers would take some effort, and I'm currently focused on another project.
However, I *think* they should work with the miner as is on the ROCm drivers.  The ROCm 1.8 drivers remove the requirement of PCIe link width for Polaris cards, so typical x1 risers work, but they will need to run at PCIe gen3.
I have not tested any rx460/560 as I don't have hardware available.

Please create a windows version, you'll get more fees !
