[ANN] coolMiner - Lyra2z Miner for nVidia [Maxwell\Pascal\Volta\RTX]

[Ryzen2700x]

Dear Miners :-),
I would like to share with you my modified version of ccminer 2.2.6 with improved lyra2z kernels,
I see that there is many new coins for this algo and since the hot summer is near there is no better "Eco" algo like lyra2z.
So I called it the -"coolMiner" :-).
This miner should have all ccminer options and you can use it on any pool or lyra2z coin u like - no limits!.
Please use the latest nVidia drivers to get the full speed from the miner!

Thanks for @zcoinofficial for recommending on coolMiner- You Are Cool!  (+Thanks for the great Eco algo!)




Update: coolMiner-v1.7!
Release notes and download link:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4412370.msg47366847#msg47366847


.bat file for reference:

Code:

coolMiner-x64 -a lyra2z -o stratum+tcp://<PoolURL>:<PORT> -u <WALLET_ADDRESS> -p <OPTIONS> -i 19  --hide-diff -q  

*supports "-p stats" to  submit your results to yiimp pools :-) :

coolMiner V1.7 Specs:

• Compiled with Cuda10, 64-bit.
• Compiled for nVidia Gpu's with SM_52/SM_61/SM_70/SM_75 (Maxwell-Pascal-Volta-RTX).
• Max-GPU support increased to 20!.
• Stale share bug fixed.
• Lyra2z miner only.

Benchmark resaults:
1080Ti - 3,750KH/s @2075Mhz core.
1070TI - 2,400KH/s @1987Mhz core (2,500 KH/s+ should be no problem with better OC).
1070 - 1,950KH/s @2025Mhz core (2,000 KH/s+ should be no problem with better OC).


I only got those cards, I would like you to share your results on other cards too :-).

Cool Tip to save power!:
You can Limit the max Core voltage of the GPU with MSI afterburner by pressing: "ctrl+f" and then you will see new window with your cards Frequency/Voltage graph:

Then you can click on the graph on the desired voltage and click "ctrl-l" and then the apply button on the MSI afterburner:

Then you will see the Core voltage drops and this way you can drop the power usage:

You can play with it and adjust the core clock and achieve the max clock/voltage for better efficiency- do it with small steps so you will not crash the display driver :-)

I hope you will support and accept the 1% dev fee- let's call it "dude fee"  , I prefer to support the community and not just sell it to "Big-Farms" ;-).

[madnessteat]

Thanks for miner. My tests give 1070ti - 2250 KH/s
1070 - 1830 KH/s. I think I will achieve more, haven't experimented with overclocking.

[mySmile]

This is a good result. Thanks.

[MATPOC]

Hi!

what about linux version?

if you need help - I can help you to compile it.

thank you.

[Ryzen2700x]

I am figuring it out :-)
I am downloading now this version:
http://releases.ubuntu.com/16.04/

Or should I install the latest 18.04?
https://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop

I found nice tutorial on YouTube:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XdWr9pB5p_Q

Anything more that I should know?

[Hyperder]

testing this today, well let you know results
3.75 @ around 2100 eh? pretty high core for most there....
also: imo, use 16.04, you will have less compatibility issues

[CryptoSifus]

You have source up on github?

[sabercrypto]

thanks for this. so far it is stable. so promising lyra2z miner

[Pdoleycibey]

very nice ....getting increased hash rate ....

[Pdoleycibey]

what are the algo it supports only lyra2z or others too

[JeffJohnsonTheNameYouKnow]

Are you at Power Level 0?

Would you mind posting what you have PL, Core, Mem  set to?

Thanks

[ivakar]

well, the speed is good, yes, but, unfortunately not the best..)
there is a miner which can deliver greater performance. gtx1080ti with that miner delivers about 4080-4100 kh/s
it is really not much faster then yours miner can do, but the lead is still the lead, right?

[cod3gen]

Since this is ccminer.. Source? on Github?

I have multiple Lyra2z coins available on http://www.Powermining.pw - feel free to join ;-)

What is it? BSOD doesn't show any unknown miners.

[CjMapope]

3650kh/s @ 2050 core & 140 watts on 1080ti
no noticed suspicious activity from Wireshark/ESET

i believe  will be using this miner, tyty good sir  
worthy of it's 1% so far

[somaton]

Please compile CUDA 9.1 version.

[cmexonat]

So far so good, after upgraded to latest nvidia driver for cuda 9.2 requirement.
As for hashrate for my test cards:
1080ti - 3700kH/s (was 3300) PL 90% core +150 memory 0
1050ti - 800kH/s (was 700) PL 90% core +150 memory 0

[farfui]

do you ting to remove fee tax for using for solo mining or in this command --coinbase-addr=

[pileto3]

Great! I will try it. What is the dev fee?

[abanamat]

[pileto3]

Hi didn't see it from the phone, it is 1% Dev Fee... It is OK.
Mine 1070TI gives me 2131-2476 kH/s.  1785-2088 Mhz.
This is from miner console, from the pool side it is around 15 MH/s , Will see...

[pileto3]

Looks like big intrigue 

[Ryzen2700x]

Could you explain how you caculated it?
I have set it on 1% and after testing I saw it was switching to dev pool every 50~60 min for 30~40 seconds:

[ARTRN]

Pros : This is highest performing miner for Lyra2z while maintaining L2Z characteristics ie. low power consumption etc. Gaining +/-3% more hash (depend on system;OC etc.)

Cons : Devfee 1% is a bit sketchy. Your hashrate on yiimp based pool would disappear every or so hour for few seconds to minutes. I'd bet 10 bucks fee is more than 1% as advertised by dev.

[Ryzen2700x]

Thanks :-),

Regarding "Your hashrate on yiimp based pool would disappear every or so hour for few seconds to minutes. "
if it's more then few sec please check the stratum diff the miner is on, maybe it's working on high diff for few min or while working on high diff for few min the dev time comes and it's switches to dev pool and so you get the miner disappear for few min.

Hope it explains it :-).

That's what I mean. More to say, switching to fee and back takes time too. Also speed is going down after few minutes. Pool says same +- hashrate with 2.2.5

Hi.
If every hour will switch and work for 2.5 minutes, it's 1 hour of work in the empty. Perhaps you need to reduce% for dev?
"your hashrat on a yiimp-based pool will disappear every few seconds to a few minutes," - I think it's better to do this 10 minutes every 24 hours. Or there is no point in this miner.

[teknohog]

Since this is ccminer.. Source? on Github?

Came to ask the same thing. If you're distributing a modified version of a GPL project, and not providing the source, you're committing license violation.

Closed source is bad enough by itself for a lot of reasons. Especially in cryptocurrencies which are open community efforts. It's even worse if you're admitting you're leeching off community code.

I'm assuming you don't feel like releasing the source because of the donation/fee percentage. Frankly, I don't have a good answer for that -- I've released some opensource code myself, and I sometimes feel I've been cheated by some Chinese knockoff projects that use my code without crediting me. But I guess imitation is the sincerest form of flattery Meaning that there are ways to make an honest living with opensource code. For starters, respect the licenses and maybe people will also respect your coding skills.

I'm on fixed difficulty and it never happened on other 'free no devfee' miner. Thank you.

[RIF86]

I propose to remove the devfee from one hour to once a day or set a fixed price for the miner, BUT, the hash of 1080ti should be about 4000kh/s. How do you look at this?

[djm34]

not working on linux

[Ryzen2700x]

I have tried again with the instruction written in the Install file:

Code:

** How to compile on Ubuntu (16.04 LTS)

First, install Cuda toolkit and nVidia Driver, and type `nvidia-smi` to check if your card is detected.

Install dependencies
```sudo apt-get install libcurl4-openssl-dev libssl-dev libjansson-dev automake autotools-dev build-essential```

Ubuntu is now shipped with gcc 6 or 7 so please install gcc/g++ 5 and make it the default (required by the cuda toolkit)
```
sudo apt-get install gcc-5 g++-5
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/gcc gcc /usr/bin/gcc-5 1
```

Then use the helper ./build.sh in ccminer source folder, edit configure.sh and the Makefile.am if required.
```
./build.sh
./ccminer --version
```

Download:
https://nofile.io/f/VvDfyzrk8mk/coolMiner-x64L2.tar.gz

Hope it works now,

P.S: why on Linux the miner looks working on "high priority" and it's effecting the system performance?(using browser while mining... etc').

P.S.2:OMG Look at that!!

Edit: testing now and  it seems  slower and I see no point adding it, sry.

[principino1984]

1080ti ... 3550Kh/s @ 2025MHz on core

Nice step .. but we'd need more to keep competing with amd and lyra2z

Thanks for your job!

[MCat$]

So far so good, after upgraded to latest nvidia driver for cuda 9.2 requirement.
As for hashrate for my test cards:
1080ti - 3700kH/s (was 3300) PL 90% core +150 memory 0
1050ti - 800kH/s (was 700) PL 90% core +150 memory 0

TDP 60 Core 54 Mem -502
 GPU #$: Gigabyte GTX 1080 Ti, 3714.01 kH/s

[MCat$]

Dear Miners :-),
I would like to share with you my modified version of ccminer 2.2.5 with improved lyra2z kernels,
I see that there is many new coins for this algo and since the hot summer is near there is no better "Eco" algo like lyra2z.
So I called it the -"coolMiner" :-).
This miner should have all ccminer options and you can use it on any pool or lyra2z coin u like - no limits!.

coolMiner Specs:

• Compiled with Cuda9.2, 64-bit.
• Compiled for nVidia Gpu's with SM_52/SM_61/SM_70 (Maxwell-Pascal-Volta).
• Max-GPU support increased to 20!.
• Stale share bug fixed.
• Lyra2z miner only.

Benchmark resaults:
1080Ti - 3,750KH/s @2075Mhz core.
1070TI - 2,400KH/s @1987Mhz core (2,500 KH/s+ should be no problem with better OC).
1070 - 1,950KH/s @2025Mhz core (2,000 KH/s+ should be no problem with better OC).

ScreenShots:
1080Ti:

1070 and 1070Ti:
https://s15.postimg.cc/brn7o8521/cool_MIner-1070_1070_Ti.jpg


I only got those cards, I would like you to share your resaults on other cards too :-).

Cool Tip to save power!:
You can Limit the max Core voltage of the GPU with MSI afterburner by pressing: "ctrl+f" and then you will see new window with your cards Frequency/Voltage graph:
https://s15.postimg.cc/d6osd2vwb/MSIAB_ctrl-f.jpg
Then you can click on the graph on the desired voltage and click "ctrl-l" and then the apply button on the MSI afterburner:
https://s15.postimg.cc/s2nbkof0r/MSIAB_ctrl-_L.jpg
Then you will see the Core voltage drops and this way you can drop the power usage:
https://s15.postimg.cc/nymcrxizv/MSIAB_ctrl-_L-950m_V.jpg
You can play with it and adjust the core clock and achieve the max clock/voltage for better efficiency- do it with small steps so you will not crash the display driver :-)

I hope you will support and accept the 1% dev fee, I prefer to support the community and not just sell it to "Big-Farms" ;-).

I quote the message above as i also want to have a clear answer from dev. I don't care about having a dev fee, but I really care about transparency...

[nitrobg]

Since this is ccminer.. Source? on Github?

Came to ask the same thing. If you're distributing a modified version of a GPL project, and not providing the source, you're committing license violation.

Closed source is bad enough by itself for a lot of reasons. Especially in cryptocurrencies which are open community efforts. It's even worse if you're admitting you're leeching off community code.

I'm assuming you don't feel like releasing the source because of the donation/fee percentage. Frankly, I don't have a good answer for that -- I've released some opensource code myself, and I sometimes feel I've been cheated by some Chinese knockoff projects that use my code without crediting me. But I guess imitation is the sincerest form of flattery Meaning that there are ways to make an honest living with opensource code. For starters, respect the licenses and maybe people will also respect your coding skills.

correct...same problem for me.

[crypt0ensio]

Yeah, here too.

Does it recover? Have anyone let it run in retry-mode?

[_Dr2]

Yeah, here too.

Does it recover? Have anyone let it run in retry-mode?

In 1 location I have the same problem
but in 2 location all was working good.
because I think it is problem with resolving devfee pool by DNS.

[principino1984]

Yeah, here too.

Does it recover? Have anyone let it run in retry-mode?

In 1 location I have the same problem
but in 2 location all was working good.

same country for all the location? I think is a url problem from our countries. I'm from italy and all my miner has the same problem

[CryptoCoinMinerPaul]

I'm in the USA and have that problem

[qlol]

 Yes, same issue for me!
3 rigs, two different ISP, in Italy

[Ryzen2700x]

I have tried to mine when you have posted it and also got error for few sec and then when tried again all good, maybe it was NH problem for few min(it mines on NH EU server)?
Please tell me if this continues, also it should get back to your pool after the dev time over- right?.
I am also running the miner to check the log later to see if got same error.

Also why the ping is so High? can you give some info?

sry for the trouble.

[_Dr2]

Yeah, here too.

Yes, the same country but different ISP

[principino1984]

same problem for me.. ping is high and it doesn't recover to the pool. It just stays in the error.

[_Dr2]

Also why the ping is so High? can you give some info?

sry for the trouble.

Give us pool url.
All my rigs are mining on Angrypool now.
EDIT
Past 4 min coolminer can not reconnect to my pool

[principino1984]

tried again but no luck... after a few minutes when it tries to get on NH drops the connection and cannot switch back to my pool

[Ryzen2700x]

Update: it looks nicehash problem, my rig also give same error on stratum+tcp://lyra2z.eu.nicehash.com:3365.
OMG, I have no Luck mining lyra2z :-(.
for now I don't have a solution, I suggest you change back to ccminer until NH will fix their EU stratum , plus I will try to see if the Fee mechanism can be improved so it will force to switch back to main pool even if the dev pool not connecting.

Sry :-(.

[crypt0ensio]

Please tell me if this continues, also it should get back to your pool after the dev time over- right?.

I had it run on dev-time, (retrying) it ran for like 30mins, but didn't switch back.

all my rigs with the same issue.

[CryptoCoinMinerPaul]

Update: it looks nicehash problem, my rig also give same error on stratum+tcp://lyra2z.eu.nicehash.com:3365.
OMG, I have no Luck mining lyra2z :-(.

please fix this error so i don't have to keep manually restart my rigs every 15-30 min try a different location

Also if it helps i'm mining CRS and it does NOT switch back to the original Pool

or
don't use nicehash pool

Sry :-(.

Hmm... maybe
but whay it works in one location and on second not?
Maybe You will to change fee strategy and/or devfee pool?
Yours miner is good and would be a pity not to use it because of some NH errors only.

[Johnjay06]

Is this open or closed source?

[_Dr2]

I got error even when trying to mine directly, only on EU, maybe it same Intel security patching on EU servers?

As I was writen above, in one location (EU) coolminer works perfect on 14 of my rigs (14x8GPU)
then I think it is not thats problem.

[buykeyvn]

Hi,
How to config .bat file?

[CryptoCoinMinerPaul]

I got error even when trying to mine directly, only on EU, maybe it same Intel security patching on EU servers?

I tried mining directly on Nicehash with your miner and it works great till it tries and switches to your dev fee i believe you have it configured wrong somewhere in your script do you have a BTC address correctly inputted?

[EdgeOfSanity]

miner is bugged, its not a nicehash problem. Had issues with it on all my rigs and i'm not using nicehash. Dev will need to fix it if he wants that fee income.

also, don't use nicehash you dumbasses. Find coins to mine directly and make a lot more money. Nicehash is cancer.

[DonMaxim]

I found that in same building 2 different internet providers, 1 working perfect and other have connection problem, so it’s nicehash isp or dns problem, not the miners problem...
You can open same .bat file with any other miner like ccminer and it would be same problem,
Last 4 hours the eu stratum not working with all internet providers, test it like I wrote and you will get same result....

Other than eu stratums works for both location but it seems that devs fee goes to eu stratum....
For now for 1 my location i have started to mine with coolminer on nicehash, it’s working perfect...

[EdgeOfSanity]

0 issues with ccminer 2.2.5 on the same lyra2z coin on the same pool server. Its the miner, not a dns issue.

It is a miner program problem it runs fine till it tries and switches to collect the DEV fee even the DEV said he has the same problem with it on Nicehash!!!  Nicehash sucks anyway to much in fees and way to high for payouts take me a month to mine on nicehash to get paid and thats with 18 gpus

I also believe you didn't run the program long enough to get to where it switches to the dev fee try running it for 1 hr

[buykeyvn]

Hello Dev,
How to config it? It's only coolMiner-x64.exe file.
Please help me!

[dkbit98]

This is interesting...
I like Lyra2z algo and always looking for better miner software-
but you should leave people options to reduce or remove fee.

Also I don't see any reaction about issues that people have.

He posted 5 hours ago that the issue with with the EU Nicehash server and until they fix it or he can improve the mechanism, that  he recommends using CCminer.  As for the fee, why give the option?  If this lowers heat output I think that is well worth 1%.  And as a matter of fact, I think 1% for any mining software is fair.

[spatialiste]

Great project! I would just like to know if with my config I would have a benefit to use this miner, I have gtx 1060 6go, and I read you use 1070s and 1080s.

I am not a Dev, not every one that plays with the code should be called "Dev",  we all know the real Dev's , I am just simple dude (Avengers:Infinity War?).

I am more like an Overclocker who improved the performance of the Hardware, and not a Developer because I did not developed the Hardware, I see many new closed source miners are comming out that some of them not crediting the source ccminer Devs, and you can tell in a sec on which ccminer they are built on, So let's call "Dev's" only to the real Dev's behind the great ccminer forks that we are using :-).

Sry all , I had bad week with all the MPH Zcoin drama, and now after switching to Nicehash lyra2z the bad luck is following me and I have problems using the EU stratum  .

I am happy to hear your suggestions - what lyra2z coin and Pool should I point the the miner to when switching to the Fee time?
I don't have experience with angrypool/bsod/arcpool/gos pools, which one should be more stable/reliable ?


And like I sad - if you have problems with the miner- please switch to ccminer until I compile new version without nicehash

Since this is ccminer.. Source? on Github?

I have tried again with the instruction written in the Install file:

Code:

** How to compile on Ubuntu (16.04 LTS)

First, install Cuda toolkit and nVidia Driver, and type `nvidia-smi` to check if your card is detected.

Install dependencies
```sudo apt-get install libcurl4-openssl-dev libssl-dev libjansson-dev automake autotools-dev build-essential```

Ubuntu is now shipped with gcc 6 or 7 so please install gcc/g++ 5 and make it the default (required by the cuda toolkit)
```
sudo apt-get install gcc-5 g++-5
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/gcc gcc /usr/bin/gcc-5 1
```

Then use the helper ./build.sh in ccminer source folder, edit configure.sh and the Makefile.am if required.
```
./build.sh
./ccminer --version
```

Download:
https://nofile.io/f/VvDfyzrk8mk/coolMiner-x64L2.tar.gz

Hope it works now,

P.S: why on Linux the miner looks working on "high priority" and it's effecting the system performance?(using browser while mining... etc').

P.S.2:OMG Look at that!!

Mr. Ryzen, please answer:

Did you do something else than recompile the ccminer with cuda 9.2?

I mean, any optimizations, not changing placeholders like yes! to Cool! or dev pool to yours?

[Ryzen2700x]

It's easy to test, you can compile the ccminer with Cuda 9.2 and check yourself :-).
Yes I did modify the kernels  in cuda_lyra2Z.cu  and also some changes in  lyra2Z.cu, other changes are in ccminer.cpp + few files regarding MAX_GPUS .

P.S, on what intensity you are running the cards? I saw in benchmarks that some miner leave it on the default 16, it's very low for cards like 1060 and up and the hash-rate is low, min should be 18.

Thanks,

I was wondering about the Intensity and I thought to ask you all, What do you think is better: Highest intensity stable or the lowest intensity that does not decrease the hash-rate?

[principino1984]

I think that the best is highest intensity.

Set the Intensity (-i 19) accordingly to  what u like.

[hrusttt55]

Why on two identical rigs, after a while,on one Riga falls the hash from 13 to 3 on the pool, although in the miner shows 13. and temperature the map is smaller,decreases the power consumption on this Riga. coolMiner 1.1

[_Dr2]

I tried with my edited BAT file,

[Sikkan666]

excelent miner! fastest out there today!

tomorrow when the speeds have settled I will post some speeds

[hrusttt55]

Why in the miner is written the speed of video cards 13 m / h, but at some point the load on the cards becomes less,they become 5 degrees colder and their power consumption drops. Although the miner still shows the speed of 13, but on the pool the speed drops to 3 m/h. The reason? miner coolMiner v 1.1,before it stood a normal miner and a speed of 11 m/h was constant in the miner and on the pool

[Ryzen2700x]

I think there is some stability issue, can you share your clock speeds and intensity used?

[hrusttt55]

1080ti evgs PL 85, core 100, memory 0, 1847 Mhz -i 21

[Ryzen2700x]

Lets start by lowering the intensity to 19.75, I have the best experience with that.

[hrusttt55]

okay, I'll try

[boomboommin]

gtx 1080 on ccminer 2.2.4-2.2.5 from github does 2550Kh+-50Kh

this miner 2700 Kh+-50Kh

150Kh x 25 cards = 3750 Kh =~2 1070 cards. It`s good.

[_Dr2]

gtx1080, depending on the manufacturer, coolminer shows 2600-2650kh/s. (-i 21)
I think, it is good even after subtracting fee.

[principino1984]

I had to stop using it, after a few hours the miner crash or just stop working. My rigs are stable because they are working since january 24/7 no stop and I've used a lot of algos.

[Ryzen2700x]

Sry to hear that, have you considered lowering the intensity? 21 is high and gives no real speed gain even over 19, and only can increase the latency from the point if find nonce until it need to completes hashing  (-i 21 =2097152) , this is why I asked about it, I think that the lowest intensity possible without impacting the hash-rate should be the best option, correct me if I am wrong.

I'll give it a try for today at -i 19

Marco

[Ryzen2700x]

Thanks, I will also keep monitoring to find out if it crashes and what could cause it, also I even tried -i 18 on 1080Ti and got same hash-rate like on -i 21, so there is no real advantage using such high intensity on this miner.
This is because the changes that I made regarding lyra2Z_cpu_hash_32 and blake256_cpu_hash_80 launches, on ccminer you loose about 1.5%-2% on 21 vs 18 intensity, on coolMiner the hash-rate stays the ~same.

Edit:I have tested it:
-i 16 vs -i 21: ccminer ~8% penalty vs coolMiner ~3% penalty .
-i 17 vs -i 21: ccminer ~4% penalty vs coolMiner ~1.5% penalty .
You can test it yourself.

[_Dr2]

for me it is about 1 minute for one hour

[Sikkan666]

so, my 1060 3 gb at 65% tdp and 145 mhz core overclock they are doing around 1185 khs! very good

1080 @ 70% tdp is running at 2730 per sec

1070ti @ 65% tdp is running at 2430 per sec!

impressive numbers

[RIF86]

The rate of hashes is one thing. Devfee - completely different. We need a balance between this.
If the profit from the miner is from 5%, then it makes sense to use it.

[ruplikminer]

Speed with this miner is very good!

But I wonder if you can reach the speed of teh Z FAST MINER? I get 2900 with ZFASTMINER and my 1070ti.

Just ZFAST MINER sucks cause you can ONLY mine on miningpoolhub with that miner...

I had to go back to zfastminer, even with intensity at 19 after a few hours it disconnects/crash. Don't really know why.

[djm34]

out of curiosity... anyone tried to compile the open source ccminer with cuda 9.2 and see the difference with this miner ?

If You are used coolminer on MPH then ZFastminer is a lot of better but in other pools coolminer works for me fine. Maybe You have some issue with which you have not met up til to use coolminer.
What's Your config of GPU, swap memory etc.?
With me, the coolminer works on 96 GTX1080 and have no problem.
All this works on ~2050MHz core and ~5005 MHz memory.

Some day ago I was asking @Sp_ about it and
@Sp_ wrote that was trayng and practicly it has no difference in hashrate
But this is Sp_ and sometimes he only writes what he wants.

Well,

till now I've used a lot of miner with the same configuration with no problem at all. This is the first and only miner that crashes. I don't think is a problem of my rigs since they are with the same configuration since january and they are working great 24/7 with any other miner. Even equihash that is mor power consuming works great.

Actually I'm working with 2025Mhz gpu and -500mhz on ddr, temperatures are below 55°C

Connection issues again, need restart miner again

After 3-4 min on nicehash pool it loses connection and cannot reconnect.

Are you on ccminer/coolMiner-v1.1?

Are you mining on NiceHash? if so the connection problems are back on my rig too, and this on version without fee, so it should not be fee time problem.
Also what is "XnSub" for? can it cause problems or solve problems?

Tried different intensity, even the default set, still after 4 hours the cards stop dripping, three of the four in Rig fall off, I had to go back to the previous miner 0.0.2-djm34. it is stable

What you are describing is very similar to this so I have downloaded the  V2.0 as suggested and editing it, I think in 1~3 hours it will be ready and I will update the thread- sry for the trouble.

Gains are almost 1 Mh/s after about hour of mining, but strange is that both miners will sometimes slow down and after some time speed up, it is in magnitued about ~2 Mh/s for ccminer
and ~1Mh/s for coolminer. I dont know what is culprit, rig is table other algos (Equihahs) don't have such large variations.

tell me what speed is at 1066 does this coolMiner?

[nitrobg]

Are there any 1.1 binaries for linux?

[_Dr2]

wow,
Coolminer was added to MindMiner switcher 

Very fast reaction.

https://github.com/Quake4/MindMiner/releases

[Ryzen2700x]

I tried and now I see that some one manage to use it:
https://arcpool.com/site/miners
coolMiner/1.0 = Linux version
coolMiner/v.1.0 = Win

Should I have to include other files with the compiled ccminer so all can use it? or only the ccminer binary? because its work on my pc.

I have decided to use clean  latest ccminer 2.2.6 by tpruvot@github and modify it instead of brian112358@github fork, it was much more work and now it ready and I am testing it,also I have set the Max opt_retries to 5 and opt_fail_pause = 5 so it will not stuck if there is connection problem, you can also modify it in the bat file.

Hope this will fix the problems, I will update soon.

Been testing this miner for 24 hours.
Rig with 6x 1080 TI GPUs:
ccminer 2.2.5 - 20 Mh
This miner - 21 Mh
Also, after dev pool job -it just got stuck forever. And dev fee...
I think it does not worse it. hash gain does not cover dev fee.

Nice to meet you :-),
What did you do to run it? because djm34  sad it's not working and I see that only you were able to, thanks in advance!

not working on linux

[ShowMeCoins]

If you mean that tpruvot version 2.2.6 is not working.....could be. I've compiled it once (gcc-6, cuda 9.2), it failed, I switched back to 2.2.5.
Then you came with CoolMiner (you've only released 1 linux version) and that gave me a 10-15% increase in output. I never changed the miner syntax and already used the '-p c=COIN,stats'-switch in place.

EDIT
It's not the compiling that failed, it's the Lyra2z that failed
/EDIT

[Ryzen2700x]

So you could run my Linux binary without problem?  I am wondering if its using shared files on destination PC and some users don't have this files and so they can't run my Linux binary, I use  the autogen.sh and then build.sh like in the tutorials and compressed the binary and upload it here, should I have another files with it?  (from Solidworks world I'm referring to "pack and go" ).
Thanks in advance!.

Edit: Congrats to this miner with a record for 1070Ti!  


You crashed my score with Zotac  1070Ti mini @2.5MHs  , now lets see who is going to crash my score with 1080Ti@3.81Mhs on Zotac Amp Extreme :-).

PM'ed you a list of libraries in use by CoolMiner.
I think the biggest hurdle must be the reference to the Cuda 9.2 'libcudart.so.9.2'.
Which means they should install the latest CUDA.

..now lets see who is going to crash my score with 1080Ti@3.81Mhs on Zotac Amp Extreme

Not fair, looks like my stats never show up in the benchmarks.

[Ryzen2700x]

Only coolMiner-v1.1 and up support sending stats to pool, I made coolMiner-v1.2L binary for you so you can try:
https://nofile.io/f/rJCB6DFnwR6/coolMiner-Linux-v1-2L.tar.gz

Do you know the command line to force including libcudart.so.9.2 in the binary file  like on the windows binary? (on visual studio I have :""Static CUDA runtime library (-cudart static)").

[JackIT]

Can you please add the bug fix SP added for multi-GPU rigs to get to 100% utilization at launch?

Wen starting the miner, on my 12 GPU rigs it takes anywhere from 7 to over 15 minutes for all GPUs to get to 100% utilization and hashing at their full potential. During the first few minutes, many of the GPUs are completely idle.

Please see: https://github.com/sp-hash/suprminer
specifically: https://github.com/sp-hash/suprminer/commit/265ab574ed56fddd164023dae9d34e8fe0504202


with the Suprminer/SP-Hash miner the GPUs go to 100% utilization on Lyra2z within the first minute or two.

Been running 1.2 on my 1080ti's for the past 6 or 7 hrs and it's running wonderfully...Ran 1.1 overnight without issues.   setting all of my 1080ti's to run -i 20 with 2012 core TDP 100 and getting approx 3.615.  About a 6% bump from 2.2.5.   Great job.

[2stout]

I can say after trying this, a definite performance improvement worth the dev fee; a win-win scenario for both miners and dev, Thx Again!

[thebd]

After 7h:42m of running 1.2, 2 out of 4 rigs crashed when the stratum was changed for dev's fee (Illegal memory access..)

Strange...I'm seeing 5-6% boost from 2.2.5 with the settings I posted earlier with my 3 rigs of 1080ti's EVGA and Gigabyte.  No crashes yet...What is your core at?  Do you keep it consistent through all the cards?

I do see the stratum change to 2, I'm assuming that's when the devfee goes in.  Seems it should be possible to not have it shift the stratum when switching to dev fee...?   Maybe 1.3?   Haven't tried yet...I use a set stratum.

[thebd]

the 7h average hashrate was 28.7mh/s for 8*1080ti and i was doing 27.8mh/s before with 2.2.5, so overall real increase is 3%

the time needed to reach full speed back from stratum switch is affecting overall performace

i suggest a discord channel to compile some direct feedback... @Ryzen

[Ryzen2700x]

"(Illegal memory access..)" can be caused by many reasons, many cases found when searching ccminer +Illegal memory access, most of the time is stebility issu with OC/power/Drivers etc, maybe you are on the edge of the stability and then the pool switch come and I see this codes are before/after :""// reset default mem offset before idle.." " // reapply mem offset if needed ", I don't know if this related, you should start isolating the problem maybe 1 GPU makes all the trouble.

Also- what did you mean by that:

the 7h average hashrate was 28.7mh/s for 8*1080ti and i was doing 27.8mh/s before with 2.2.5, so overall real increase is 3%

You mean the speed you saw on 7th excepted share? if so it's not accurate, min is 30. and I recommend testing it on version  coolMiner-v1.3  since it's start @full load much faster.

Also l think that on lyra2z coins that the block/hour is high, it's better to use lower intensity (~19) versus 20~21 because it increases the chance that new bock found and the nonce you find after get discarded (hashing takes too long). and coolMiner has lower penalty when lowering the intensity versus ccminer 2.2.5. (i have posted bench results few page back).
Edit- found it:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=498930.msg5492268#msg5492268

GPU operate in a "batch" mode.  They start hashing and attempt so many hashes before stopping to return results.  The higher the intensity the more hashes the card attempts in one batch but also the longer the batch takes.  The card only returns results at the end of the batch.  The higher the intensity (and longer the batch) the more shares which are computed but never "delivered" before the block changes and they become stale.  On the other hand the lower the intensity the more of the GPU time spent setting up and taking down batches which means a lower raw hashrate

You get paid for shares (or work) accepted so that is what you should be looking to maximize.  It is possible the accepted rate is still higher even with a higher rejected rate because the gross (raw) hashrate is higher.

Simplified example
100 shares gross w/ 1% rejected = 99 shares accepted
120 shares gross w/ 10% rejected = 102 shares accepted.

The later is more profitable.  Since you get "paid" for shares accepted that is the number you want to maximize.

This is what I have wrote few pages back:

Edit:I have tested it:
-i 16 vs -i 21: ccminer ~8% penalty vs coolMiner ~3% penalty .
-i 17 vs -i 21: ccminer ~4% penalty vs coolMiner ~1.5% penalty .
You can test it yourself.

[thebd]

1.3 is in the grinder right now, will post progress at 12-24-36h

[HashAuger]

Thanks for your efforts on releasing this new miner.  It looks like it an competitive alternative to existing Lyra2z miners. I’m working on including it my software, Hash Auger, but I was disappointed to see that it requires Cuda SDK 9.2.  Considering all the issues surrounding the new Nvidia drivers on Windows, many people are still reluctant to update from 391.35.  For example, 398.11 has a known issue with multiple GPUs and certain motherboard chipsets. Any plans to release a version of CoolMiner compatible with 9.1 or does it depend on features in the new SDK?  Also, since most devs of mining software recommend 32-bit versions, is there any particular reason why CoolMiner is 64-bit?

[Ryzen2700x]

Thank you,
I was asked if I could recompile with cuda 9.1 and I did try but I saw that the some of the performance gains that I had with my mods got lost and the end results wasn't justifying the added fee so there is no benefit for the miners to use it, so it's only cuda9.2.
Regarding 64bit vs 32bit, I know that before cuda 9 the 32bit had better performance but since then 64bit is better or equal, if there is a demand for it I can try to compile 32 bit and test it if the speed is same.

Thank you for the prompt reply.  Based on what I have read about Cuda 9.2, there are some optimizations not found in 9.1, so it is understandable that it may not run as fast with the earlier SDK. Unfortunately it is a bit late in my own development cycle to upgrade my device drivers to support 9.2, but after my next release I will do so to test integrating your software into Hash Auger.

Regarding 64-bit vs 32-bit, I am not sure if Lyra2z benefits from  the extra CPU precision that the 64-bit code provides. If not, the smaller memory footprint and file size of a 32-bit version may benefit those users with limited RAM.

[CryptoSifus]

Trying on 398.11 and I have one of 6 GPU losing power about once every 7-8hrs.
Not the same one and doesn't happen on 2.2.5

Also w/ v1.3 the load time to take it to max hash is still about 30-40mins.
That's a long time to recover if the miner disconnects or resets.

What times are you guys seeing to get to top avg hash?

[soggyminer]

What driver supports this.

Getting a "your system does not support cuda 9.2 api" error when launching the miner.
I downloaded and installed everything but the driver directly from nvidia.
Currently running nvidia 390.77

For some reason my rig crashes when I install the latest drivers. Won't accept more than one GPU when I run them.
Help!

I've been running 398.11 since yesterday without any issues (on multiple multi-gpu rigs). I believe 396.xx is the minimum for CUDA 9.2 support. As HashAuger stated earlier, some people have reported issues with 398.11 and multiple GPUs.

You could always try running DDU before installing the new drivers if nothing else is working: http://www.guru3d.com/files-details/display-driver-uninstaller-download.html

If I disconnect 3/4 cards I can get it to load again, but if I add new ones it does the same thing. Crash, reboot, startup repair mode...

[z0mb13m4n]

I'm getting 3.5 at most on 1080 ti's using the OC shown. At 1050mv i can get 3.5mh/s on every 1080ti, hence the one card in the picture showing ~3.45mh/s. All the others are locked at 950. Other cards seem to improve slightly too. This was after running it for over an hour. No clocks over 1975 mhz for core. Mem untouched. P0 state on all cards.

https://pasteboard.co/HoSijoA.jpg

Edit: Was able to get 3.56mh/s on all 4 1080 ti's with clocks pushed to 2050mhz core at 1075mv or lower. 1080 up to 2.5mh/s with 1050mv and 2050mhz core. 1060 to almost 1.3mh/s same settings. 2k on 1070 with core upped to 2150mhz at 1050mv. Was on -i 17

[soggyminer]

I'll go ahead and throw up my numbers as I have been running this since yesterday:

EVGA FTW3 1080 ti - 3760 kH, +115 core (2088)
EVGA FTW 1070 ti - 2448 kH, +150 core (2012)
EVGA SC2 1070 - 1985 KH, +150 core (2062)
EVGA FTW 1060 3GB - 1160 kH , +115 core (2025)

Edit: -i 19

Update your nvidia driver.  -i 20    2012 mhz @ 1050 mv will get you over 3.6 on a 1080ti

[soggyminer]

What driver supports this.

Getting a "your system does not support cuda 9.2 api" error when launching the miner.
I downloaded and installed everything but the driver directly from nvidia.
Currently running nvidia 390.77

For some reason my rig crashes when I install the latest drivers. Won't accept more than one GPU when I run them.
Help!

I've been running 398.11 since yesterday without any issues (on multiple multi-gpu rigs). I believe 396.xx is the minimum for CUDA 9.2 support. As HashAuger stated earlier, some people have reported issues with 398.11 and multiple GPUs.

You could always try running DDU before installing the new drivers if nothing else is working: http://www.guru3d.com/files-details/display-driver-uninstaller-download.html

Thanks for reply, I did try for a fresh install but I can't get the driver to complete install on a 4 card rig.
Crashes 3/4 of the way through and puts the computer into startup repair mode.

If I disconnect 3/4 cards I can get it to load again, but if I add new ones it does the same thing. Crash, reboot, startup repair mode...

Have you tried switching pci-e slots for your risers? I have 1 weird rig that won't boot period if certain pci-e slots are used (1,2,4,6....if i use 3 or 5 the rig doesn't boot)

Could you compile a CUDA 9.1 version? The lastest drivers are buggy with Afterburner/Xtreme Tuner (freezes at applying overclock) and requires lastest Windows version.

When the dev fee kicks in the Miner says " retry in 5 sec. "
but then doesnt go back. So the mining is down every hour and i have to reset i manualy.
Anyone with the same issue ?

Head to Head test of CoolMiner 1.3 Vs ccminer 2.2.5

Hash rate numbers are vanity metrics and can be gamed.  The only thing I care about is "which miner puts more coins in my wallet?" I've done dozens of Head to Head tests in the past see: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3385643.0

I've decided to test CoolMiner 1.3 Vs ccminer 2.2.5 to see which one mines more coins.

The Setup:
I use a 12 GPU 1080Ti rig on Windows 10, split into three mining instances of 4 GPU's each (for this test, only two of the instances are used). All three mining instances are balanced to get as close to the same hash rate as possible.
Each mining instance is running at the same time on the same machine mining on the same pool.

Overclock settings: 100% TDP, +75 core, -502 mem
Drivers: Nvidia 397.93


Test 1 Results: CoolMiner 1.3 wins by 7.72%
Duration: 360 minutes
Default intensity: 16; pool set variable diff
-I stopped the test early, because I wanted to see both miners running a static pool diff and 20 intensity

• [CoolMiner 1.3] 24.41 MCT - Pool Link
• [ccminer 2.2.5] 22.66 MCT - Pool Link

Test 2 Results: CoolMiner 1.3 wins by 2.51%
Duration: 855 minutes
-i 20; pool diff = 10

• [CoolMiner 1.3] 63.41 MCT - Pool Link
• [ccminer 2.2.5] 61.86 MCT Pool Link

This test was very close from the outset, much closer than Test 1.

Thanks :-), But why you are testing @ Intensity =16 on my miner? LOL, the Intensity  calc is same on ccminer and coolMiner so use the same on both if you like the compression to be accurate.
If you compare both miners @ Intensity =16(cuda threads =65536) then then it will be more interesting :-),
Waiting for the results, it's like a race :-).
P.S: please update the drivers to get the full speed from my minre:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4412370.msg39621361#msg39621361

Thanks for your effort :-).

[JackIT]

Thanks :-), But why you are testing @ Intensity =16 on my miner?

It's your fault. 

1st test I run, uses default settings. You set the default at 16, not me.

[Ryzen2700x]

Code:

cuda_get_arch(thr_id);
		int intensity = (device_sm[dev_id] > 500 && !is_windows()) ? 17 : 16;
		if (device_sm[dev_id] <= 500) intensity = 15;
		throughput = cuda_default_throughput(thr_id, 1U << intensity); // 18=256*256*4;
		if (init[thr_id]) throughput = min(throughput, max_nonce - first_nonce);

It should be 16 on ccminer too, where did you get 22 as default?

Also- even so- coolMiner already has a lead on your Balance  

and this is with 3% speed penalty for running at -i 16 vs ccminer @ 22 :-)
-i 16 vs -i 21: ccminer ~8% penalty vs coolMiner ~3% penalty .
-i 17 vs -i 21: ccminer ~4% penalty vs coolMiner ~1.5% penalty .


Time to grab a Popcorn :-), Let the Race begin!

[qlol]

crap you. you're right.


I'm using Awesome Miner to manage my rigs (doesn't use bat files).. and had ccminer 2.2.5 configured to run -i 22 on Lyra2z.


Let me restart the test with new addresses/

[JackIT]

OK, test restarted, with new addresses, updated in original post.

sorry about that, completely forgot about the Awesome Miner configs

[Ryzen2700x]

NP, thing is that I was playing with the code for months so I remember how it works  .
Thank you very much for your time, its real fun to watch the competition  .

Edit: it's interesting, on first run my miner@16 intensity  had clear lead on ccminer @ 22 intensity but now it's like ccminer works better at 16 intensity, (unless we have troll here who tries to send shared to same address lol).

Moreover- this pool stratum is't very smart and wastes your hashing power, coolMiner is stuck @ diff 18 while ccminer @ 12, this is very bad since I see blocks comes to pool every 30~60 sec and that means that card are stuck in loop for finding too high diff share and every new block it breaks out from loop and you got no share.
The lesson from this is not to trust the pool and set the Diff according the hashing power and block per min so you can send shares in time between blocks.
Edit: now it set diff = 26 on coolMiner(faster rigs get higher stratum diff ), there is no chance 4 1080Ti will send enoght shares in between new blocks(few seconds).

Edit: if you can- next run  try testing it on 21 intensity like many miners used on 1080Ti till now, and set static diff on the miners so there will be no Diff changing factor.

the pool diff isn't as big of an issue as you may think, even with short block times.

yiimp uses a modified PPS payment scheme...
When a block is found, yiimp pools divide the block reward proportionally among valid shares for that algo/coin and then delete valid shares older than 5 minutes. The shares need not correspond to the found block.. So on a coin with very short TTF, you'll get paid based on the last 5 mins of submitted shares.

https://github.com/tpruvot/yiimp/blob/next/web/yaamp/core/backend/blocks.php

[Ryzen2700x]

Thanks for the info, but I am concerned on the miner side, if the GPU is working to find high diff for too long while new blocks are coming in 20~40 seconds then every time it breaks out of hashing loop and gets new job, so you should choose more optimized diff value that doesn't take the GPU too much time to find a share between blocks otherwise you are wasting your GPU time.
This is relevant for every miner not just mine.

P.S- I think you are already loosing coins for running ccminer 2.2.5  .

[Ryzen2700x]

If you judge by this test -then the "dev fee" dudes fee is over (-10)%  . that means that my miner pays you  over 10%  extra(Just don't tell the "Big Farms"...)   .

If you can help me and modify the build scripts of https://github.com/tpruvot/ccminer/tree/linux so the binary will include all the necessary files (libcudart.so.9.2 etc) so every one with cuda 9.2 drivers can use it I will be happy to compile it again.

for now I compiled it :

I think it's safe to assume that coolminer produces more coins than ccminer, and so I'd like move on to testing various settings for coolminer.

Next test will be coolminer with and without static pool diff.

[Ryzen2700x]

Thanks, I am also interested on Var-Diff vs different static diff relative to hashing power, it's seems it can increase/decrease income regardless the miner used, really interesting tests you are doing as a service for the forum- GJ.
P.S - in the first test I was very curious why pool was choosing almost double the diff for coolMIner, even though I was thinking it was too high- it came out to be better choice by the pool stratum?
P.S - I advice you to choose the lowest intensity that doesn't reduce the hash-rate (+- 50kh\s acceptable), as you have seen the speed penalty is lower then on ccminer, and maybe this way less rejects of job not found/discarded work because new bock, it should be around 18~19. and other rig you can try 20~22 what you like.

Yiimp pools adjust diff in order to achieve 5 to 15 submitted shares per minute. The fact that 5-15 is such a wide range, it can easily lead to double diff of small numbers.
What I did notice with coolminer is that, static diff penalizes the miner immediately after the dev fee is run. instead of the pool diff ramping up from 1, it was immediately at 10.

I run -i 18 on all of my other rigs, intensity doesn't seem to make a big impact on Lyra2z. I'll probably test different intensity setting in future tests.

TEST 3:
Head to Head test of CoolMiner 1.3  - static Vs variable stratum diff

PREVIOUS Coolminer tests: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4412370.msg39718659#msg39718659


Sometimes setting a static pool diff will yield more coins, sometimes it won't. Finding the optimal static diff is really difficult, you're often better off letting the pool set your diff.
Anyhow, this test is underway to see how setting a static diff of 10 (aprox 0.7/MHs)  versus letting the pool set the diff will impact the amount of coins you earn.

Caveat: I have no idea if a diff of 10 is the optimal choice.

The Setup:
I use a 12 GPU 1080Ti rig on Windows 10, split into three mining instances of 4 GPU's each (for this test, only two of the instances are used). All three mining instances are balanced to get as close to the same hash rate as possible.
Each mining instance is running at the same time on the same machine mining on the same pool.

Overclock settings: 100% TDP, +75 core, -502 mem
Drivers: Nvidia 397.93
Intensity: 20

Test Results: No meaningful difference
Duration: 667 mins

So what would you recommend setting the Diff to for 8-1080ti's?
How do i calculate the diff myself?
And what is the multiple per 1080ti? In case i have  to group my gpu's.

P.S, its good you are testing against d=10, this way the last test relevant and it gonna tell us if and how fast this miner would be @ -i 20 and Var-Diff against ccminer @ d=10.

Hi Guys, i'm getting an error on my mining rig when using coolminer, its "The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b) ... "

Its a windows 10x64 machine 8 gb ram , core i5 7400 , with 9 gpus , 6 x 1080ti, 3 x 1070ti.

Things i've tried, installing cuda 9.2 , installing latest nvidia drivers 398.11, checked vb.net version is 4.7 , ran as administrator , checked its not blocked in firewall .  Tried 1.1, 1.2 , 1.3 version and no luck.

Any ideas ? works great on my desktop and love to get this working on my rig.

I'll send a Gincoin to anyone that can sort this out for me as a thankyou .

Try this:

Go here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2977003/the-latest-supported-visual-c-downloads

download and install both: x86: vc_redist.x86.exe and x64: vc_redist.x64.exe

Ok tried this and no luck , its the same instant error message "The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b) ... "

This is one stubborn problem :-(

I'm having issues with this miner, I create the bat file and when I click on it the miner window appears and then disappears really fast. Enemy Miner works fine and so does CCminer. What do I need to do to fix this?

Yes. searching on Google  shows that many had this problem from many reasons, in my opinion if it mining rig without important data, is much faste to have fresh install on win10 then debuging and waistin hours/days to fix this kind of problems, you should decide if this worth the effort.

I'm having issues with this miner, I create the bat file and when I click on it the miner window appears and then disappears really fast. Enemy Miner works fine and so does CCminer. What do I need to do to fix this?

Try adding pause at the end of bat file, this will let you see.

Can you share the bat file u are using? just hide the -u .

[Eketubol]

This is my bat file

coolMiner-x64.exe -a lyra2z -o stratum+tcp://eu1.protopool.net:4553 -u  -p c=PYRO
pause

[Ryzen2700x]

Do you see the error now after adding pause? do you have drivers with cuda 9.2 support?

[JackIT]

the static Vs var diff test has been neck and neck the entire time.

interesting stat at this point..

var diff has 1160 accepted shares
static diff has 1906 accepted shares

and it's a been pretty much a tie, in coin production

[Eketubol]

It says that I don't have 9,2 support. I am on driver 390.77

[Ryzen2700x]

That the problem, you must update the drivers to use it.

A good test would be to try running ccminer 2.2.5.  Does that work or does it produce the same error?

Also, does that happen if you double click the exe?  or is it happening when you use a bat file?   sounds like it could be a missing dll file.


Try running command prompt as an admin and running this command:  SFC /scannow

[nsummy]

Ryzen, you are my hero. This gives about a 6% performance bump on my system, but more importantly, it hardly produces any heat!!!!!!!  People bitching about dev fees are idiots.  Lyra2z runs so hot on ccminer, this is a godsend.  Thank you!

ccminer 2.2.5 is fine and that's what i currently run. No error with that one.   I tried the SFC /scannow and no errors.

Re Ryzens2700x comment about the full reinstall i'm worried i do all that and it doesn't fix it. I've already lost 4 hrs trying to get this going now . So happy to try a few more things first for sure.

TEST 4:
Head to Head test of CoolMiner 1.3  -i 20 Vs ccminer -i 18


The Setup:
I use a 12 GPU 1080Ti rig on Windows 10, split into three mining instances of 4 GPU's each (for this test, only two of the instances are used). All three mining instances are balanced to get as close to the same hash rate as possible.
Each mining instance is running at the same time on the same machine mining on the same pool.

Overclock settings: 100% TDP, +75 core, -502 mem
Drivers: Nvidia 397.93


Test Results: Coolminer wins by 6.65%
Duration: 687 mins

• [ccminer 2.2.5 -i 18] 57.13 MCT Pool Link
• [CoolMiner 1.3 -i 20] 60.93 MCT Pool Link

Sorry guys, this was originally supposed to be a coolminer 1.3 -i 18 Vs -i 20 test, but I choose the wrong miner in setting up awesome miner.

Looking at the pages for test 3 while you were still mining, the vardiff was actually using ccminer and d=10 coolminer according to the pool (or the other way around, don't remember which). Didn't say anything as I was unsure if that was intentional.

Thanks for catching that..
I usually double check everything before I launch a test, clearly I choose the wrong miner prog in Awesome Miner.
I edited the test above, and I'm running a follow up test of what should have been.

I tried using the template bat.file...but not working..the mining window keep closing.

i use as follow:-
coolMiner-x64 -a lyra2z -o stratum+tcp://angrypool.com:20012 -u Gdb43xnQZGF5wMBRKD3YRhUvga8j5Aj554.Rig1 -p x -i 19  --hide-diff

and when i download the file inside only got "coolMiner-x64" application file that all.. am I missing anything??

So far coolminer has taken my rig from 18.9mhs (ccminer 2.2.5) to 20.25mhs.

ccminer comes packaged with a dll file if I remember correctly.  Copy the coolminer exe into the same folder as your ccminer and try running it from there.  A full re-install sounds a little overboard at this point.   Also are you familiar at all with the windows event viewer?  In the application logs there should be an entry for every time this failed to run.

I tried to run coolminer in 391.24 and the miner doesn't start because it miss CUDA 9.2.

Cuda 9.2 is included (as far I know) in 397.xx drivers. And I've had freeze issues with 397.xx drivers (various versions) + Windows 10 LTSB + Afterburner or any monitoring/overclocking app

Do you are able to run Coolminer in 391.xx drivers? How did you made it to work?

Sorry my really bad english.

Hello guys, a linux version exist? i'm using HiveOS but i suppose that at moment isn't CUDA 9.2 capables

and new CryptoDrege miner ?

[mirny]

The is also link to coolMiner-v1.2L.

I tried to compile the v1.3L but now I can't compile anything because it just started throwing error "all-recursive" on line ~2550 on makefile, have no idea why, I changed nothing.

[MrTDHP]

How do I display the ping time like in your screenshots?

[Ryzen2700x]

It was only in first version that was based on  brian112358@github fork, I can try adding it later to the current tpruvot@github 2.2.6 fork.

[Orphzin]

false positive or what?

[platinum4]

This performs slightly better than nanashi-mod ccminer 2.2 on -i 21 but adds 1% fee, it seems to squeeze more out of 1060s but not more out of 1070s.  I'm impressed though I will drop nanashi-mod if it holds.

[Ryzen2700x]

What driver version you are using? my miner should be min 5% better, for comparison 1070 @ 2025Mhz should give you 1950Kh/s, on 1080TI on stock (1987Mhz)I get 3350Khs on ccminer 2.2.5 vs 3550+ on coolMiner.
P.S- I think the 1070Ti is the main winner here, 1080 performance level with lower power, I think it's the best GPU for price/performance/multi use(ETH+GPU intensive algos) for Lyra2z.

[CazeW]

Same thing is happening to me also.

Hi dev!
Why did you remove the solo in 1.3?
I did not get the block in version 1.1. Takes a developer's board in solo. Strangely switches it to another solo. I do not think I can see the block as my ears.
Miner is crude. The gain is small.
! My choice ccminer 2.2.6 !

Good luck to you ! Maybe you can do something great.

[tbearhere]

What about SM_50 ? 

[nanofoxice]

Very fast miner, great work!

Can you also make the miner quit instead of spewing "unspecified launch failure"s in the case a gpu crashes?

Do you have link for this nanashi-mod miner ?
Is it only for Lyra2z algo or multi-algo ?

[StopTheNewWorldOrder]

How does this compare to MPH's proprietary zFastminer on ZXC? Anyone try it and compare pool-side hashrates yet? Want to try this out myself in the next day or 2 when I have a bit of free time.

[Pantostao]

Any updates?? there is an AMD miner for Lyra2z that does 3.5MH on a rx580 and 6MH on vega 64...

[papacheal]

FYI, comparing tpruvot 2.2.6 to coolMiner 1.3 on TITAN-V card, no OC, Win 10 latest build with 398.11 drivers on multi-hour, static diff mining session, -i 19:

tpruvot 2.26 = 7.27 MH/s
coolMiner 1.3 = 7.41 MH/s

+1.9% difference, so still worth it with dev fee included.

[notblox1]

I am testing all this miners now.
Summer started...and Lyra2z also started.

Thank you for the info,
Try increasing the intensity a little(19.75/20.75), it's little low for Volta, should get you more coins.
I wish I had this card for "testing" :-).

I am testing all this miners now.

Yep :-), I take care of my baby GPU's, no way I gonna mine 300W+ algos on them, Ethash/CryptoNight/Lyra2z are the only algos I mined.

Hi,

I have 900 x 1080ti and I tried all the linux version of the miner in this thread and all would give me "illegal instruction" when I run them.

Thanks

Dear Miners :-),
I would like to share with you my modified version of ccminer 2.2.5 with improved lyra2z kernels,
I see that there is many new coins for this algo and since the hot summer is near there is no better "Eco" algo like lyra2z.
So I called it the -"coolMiner" :-).
This miner should have all ccminer options and you can use it on any pool or lyra2z coin u like - no limits!.
Please use the latest nVidia drivers to get the full speed from the miner!

Update: coolMiner-v1.3 !
Applied the suggested fix by JackIT to "Fix slow start in multi gpu-rigs".

Important Update: Please Update to coolMiner-v1.2!
Now it based on latest ccminer by tpruvot@github instead of brian112358@github fork, This should solve the miner crash issue.
Please be noted, NiceHash EU servers are not 100% stable and sometimes can't get work!, use USA server instead.
Download:
https://nofile.io/f/NCE6dK2q5c7/coolMiner-x64-v1-2.zip
https://file.fm/f/meham7f6


Update:  Please update the miner to v1.1 because the first version had connection problems to Nicehash EU stratum from different areas and got stuck "retry after 5 seconds".
The new v1.1 version  will mine on Angrypool when switching to Dev Pool Dudes pool on the Fee time.
Also the CYCLE_TIME  between pool changes increase like you asked.
Please let me know if there is any more problems.

I only got those cards, I would like you to share your resaults on other cards too :-).

Cool Tip to save power!:
You can Limit the max Core voltage of the GPU with MSI afterburner by pressing: "ctrl+f" and then you will see new window with your cards Frequency/Voltage graph:
https://s15.postimg.cc/d6osd2vwb/MSIAB_ctrl-f.jpg
Then you can click on the graph on the desired voltage and click "ctrl-l" and then the apply button on the MSI afterburner:
https://s15.postimg.cc/s2nbkof0r/MSIAB_ctrl-_L.jpg
Then you will see the Core voltage drops and this way you can drop the power usage:
https://s15.postimg.cc/nymcrxizv/MSIAB_ctrl-_L-950m_V.jpg
You can play with it and adjust the core clock and achieve the max clock/voltage for better efficiency- do it with small steps so you will not crash the display driver :-)

I hope you will support and accept the 1% dev fee- let's call it "dude fee"  , I prefer to support the community and not just sell it to "Big-Farms" ;-).

What hashrate did you see for 1080ti on linux?

[somaton]

Thats why i asked for cuda 9.1 version, too much problems with cuda 9.2. I'm not interested in small bumps in speed for one algo - reliability is more important for me. Developer said no.

I got 1100-1150 kH/s with GTX1060-3G Hynix memory. Is that OK ?

[Ragnarokt]

Hi,

I have 900 x 1080ti and I tried all the linux version of the miner in this thread and all would give me "illegal instruction" when I run them.
I's using HiveOS and cude 9.2 is installed.

Could you please contact me on Discord ?  This would be very appreciated.

Thanks

This miner is not working on Linux. I have tried it many times on HiveOS with different combinations CUDA

[egyptianbman]

This miner sorely needs better Linux support. You should package dependencies in your executable or use an older, more stable dependency so it works for more people without issue.

[mo35]

+1
drivers with 9.2 cuda causing problems , can we get cuda 9.1 version so we can use more stable drivers.

[ironkid]

Damn man Titan V is really good. I have 2x 1080ti and 1x 1070 and consume like 400+ watts while doing 9mh total speed.

[platinum4]

What driver version you are using? my miner should be min 5% better, for comparison 1070 @ 2025Mhz should give you 1950Kh/s, on 1080TI on stock (1987Mhz)I get 3350Khs on ccminer 2.2.5 vs 3550+ on coolMiner.
P.S- I think the 1070Ti is the main winner here, 1080 performance level with lower power, I think it's the best GPU for price/performance/multi use(ETH+GPU intensive algos) for Lyra2z.

398.18, and it was actually 1-10% better performance; the 1060s benefit from this.

[mintminty590]

Still no simple linux support, I am not downloading windows to run this , DEV please do a linux version and make it clear

[oxygensignature0]

any chance to have a cuda 9.1 version avaiable?

[CryptoSifus]

Where is the -help file for coolminer v1.3?
I cannot set the stratum difficulty in the command line using any known commands.
Pool always reverts to 1 as  a starting point!

-p c=(coin),d=(difficulty) should do it but it doesn't.
Also tried --diff (difficulty) and it doesn't work either.

Mining on BSOD (yiimp pool). Any help here?

After 10 days running with Coolminer 1.3 the stats:

Windows 10 Pro 1803 - 398.11 NV driver

2x1070 MSI Armor
1x 1080 Gigabyte 1080 Aurus
3x 1080Ti Inno3d Ichill x4
Overall average: 16,273MH/s with average 717W power consumption at the wall, and 0,3-1% stale share on intensiti 19.

[slysir]

How to remove the error popup window with "nvml.dll error". I have to click on it to start the miner.  

OK did a fresh install to fix it.

[Ryzen2700x]

https://www.reddit.com/r/gpumining/comments/7yo0at/ewbf_miner_strange_new_error_cannot_load_nvml/

Did it helped?

[bitcoinminer0319]

what is intensity for 1080ti?

i tried 16 and it is pretty slow mining.

[bitcoinminer0319]

i also got rejected share when i start mining.

[Ryzen2700x]

-i < 19 will give slower hash-rate,
Regarding rejected  shares- if the reason is "job not found" this is because new block found and the share for the previous block is rejected.

Lyra2z - Head to Head test of CoolMiner 1.3 Vs CryptoDredge 0.4.1

Hash rate numbers are vanity metrics and can be gamed.  The only thing I care about is "which miner puts more coins in my wallet?" I've done dozens of Head to Head tests in the past see: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3385643.0

I've decided to test CoolMiner 1.3 Vs CryptoDredge 0.4.1 to see which one mines more coins on Lyra2z.


MINERS:
CoolMiner 1.3 intensity = 20
CryptoDredge 0.4.1 intensity = 6

The Setup:
I use a 12 GPU 1080Ti rig on Windows 10, split into three mining instances of 4 GPU's each (for this test, only two of the instances are used). All three mining instances are balanced to get as close to the same hash rate as possible.
Each mining instance is running at the same time on the same machine mining on the same pool.

Overclock settings: 100% TDP, NO overclocking
Drivers: Nvidia 398.11


Test 1 Results: Test aborted

about 4 hours into the test, the rig crashed. I'm confident that it was due to CryptoDredge, the rig had close to two weeks of uptime running Coolminer.
When I went to restart CryptoDredge, I got the following error: > Error: bad lexical cast: source type value could not be interpreted as target

Given the increased temps, increased power draw, and stability issues; I cannot recommend CryptoDredge, even if it does provide a few percentage point gain over Coolminer.
I'll wait until CryptoDredge has the bugs worked out to give it another try

• [CoolMiner 1.3]  - Pool Link
• [CryptoDredge 0.4.1]  - - Pool Link

Notes on CryptoDredge:

• GPU's run about 6-8 degrees Celcius hotter than with coolminer
• The GPU count starts at 0, whereas ccminer variants start the count at 1. this obviously makes a difference when using the -d flag
• Intensity ranges from 0 to 6, 1080Ti defaults to a 6
• I initially had issues with stability. The miner would crash the rig after a minute or two of running. I had 397 drivers on the rig, which I knew caused issues for some miners. So I DDU'd the rig, installed 398 drivers, and didn't overclock... that seemed to clear up the problem.
• No API support

[takasungi]

where to download 1.3 linux version?
thx

[jebidia]

Can you tell the difference in power draw between coolminer and cryptodredge?  Killawatt maybe?

[pileto3]

I have 6.5% above Cool Miner in Hash and 35% in power from the wall! Also the temperatures raises...

[Boba_Fett]

Good perfs but unstable miner

My rig reboots after few hours (tested with 32 and 64 bits versions)

No problems with ccminer tpruvot

[kwchmining]

I ran some benchmarks comparing CoolMiner v1.3 to CryptoDredge 0.4.1

Seems CoolMiner does in fact run cooler, so given the API functionality, although just a tad slower - seems to be the optimal choice overall.

[Ryzen2700x]

Thanks, I hope to see better miners coming out for us without paying X.XXBTC.
If CryptoDredge  uses ~35% power then ccminer/coolMiner than it need's to be over 10% faster to pay for the extra electricity.

Now when I think about FPGA .... , Hard times to be a GPU miner...

P.S: Found solution to the error: stuck in a  loop  "retry after 5 seconds".  when there is stratum connection/Stratum authentication error- now the miner will exit so you can monitor and relaunch it.

[Ryzen2700x]

Update: coolMiner-v1.4!
* Found solution to the error: stuck in a  loop  "retry after 5 seconds"-  when there is stratum connection/Stratum authentication error- now the miner will exit so you can monitor and relaunch it.

no boost in speeds in the latest ver I suppose other than bugfixes?

[Ryzen2700x]

Unfortunately no , But this bug "retry after 5 seconds" was very serious, the miner could be stuck this way for hours without mining, so I thinks it's better then small speed improvement  .

[31lakshan]

Can i get a profit?

[Ryzen2700x]

Please tell the optimal settings for GTX1080

what do you mean? OC/Power/ or intensity?

-i 20  should be OK, and regarding OC you should know your safe max Core turbo clock, 1070/1080ti should be fine ~1900Mhz+, on 2000Mhz+ you must test individually each GPU because some can be stable and some can crush after few min/hours/days

Thanks Ryzen for the latest linux version, it works fine.

Happy to help :-).

[ironkid]

Hey man your miner was working flawlessly for me but after downloading v1.4 every once a while when I have a connection issue with the pool the miner stops and doesnt try to restore connection and mine again.

Should I add anything in the bat file to force retry or something?

Edit: Thank you

[Ryzen2700x]

create .bat file like this:

Code:

:start
coolMiner-x64 -a lyra2z -o stratum+tcp://<PoolURL>:<PORT> -u <WALLET_ADDRESS> -p <OPTIONS> -i 19  --hide-diff -q
goto start

But if v1.3 worked stable for you you can keep using it, speed is the same.

Thanks, now I have ~ 2.4 Mhs from one 1080 Aorus. I want to make a fine-tuning with msi afteberner curve to get a maximum performance at minimum temperature and also want to understand what the memory or chip frequency affects the performance.
What the optimal voltage for my 1080 on this algo?

[Ryzen2700x]

you can look at the user's benchmarks:
https://gos.cx/bench?algo=lyra2z&chip=5
https://angrypool.com/bench?algo=lyra2z&chip=3

Try to stabilize it around 2000~2050MHZ, memory OC has no affect, and the core voltage on card are jumping to 1050mV on stock, I only need to raise the core voltage when going over 2025Mhz.

really COOLminer   though it crashes at all my rigs. need to play with OC to get it stable. speed reached as described in the thread.

Edit: couldnt get the miner stable. it crashes on all rigs. switched back to ccminer 2.2.6

[m1hyka]

Tried the 1.4 too, but i have the same problem with it, after 30-60 min miner exits and not restart, going back to 1.3

[principino1984]

back to 1.3 too... too many disconnection and miner restart

[Ryzen2700x]

back to 1.3 too... too many disconnection and miner restart

Tried the 1.4 too, but i have the same problem with it, after 30-60 min miner exits and not restart, going back to 1.3

I see, indeed there is something wrong when using more then 1 pool, I am still figuring it out, just saw this too:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=770064.msg40580515#msg40580515

So if V1.3 works stable for you keep using it. I will continiue searching for better solution and update the thread when I find one.

[hogwash.89m]

Also v1.4 is crashing randomly between 30-60 minutes with some message "terminating mining threadio...".
reverting to v1.3 which is working stable for days (for my setup+pool).

I always make .bat file with restart loop, and this was saving my rig, but slowdowns due to miner restart are hurting profit.

Example of .bat file, do not mind intensity settings, i got one 1080ti rest are 1080.

Code:

@echo off
title GIN lyra2z angrypool.com (coolMiner-x64 1.3 Ryzen2700x)
:start
coolMiner-x64 -a lyra2z -i 20,19.5,19.5,19.5,19.5,19.5 -o stratum+tcp://<POOL>:<PORT> -u <WALLET_ADDRESS> -p c=<COIN> -R 10
timeout 10
goto start

[kantoi]

back to 1.3 too... too many disconnection and miner restart

yes same for me - version 1.3 is stable and works well

[vitos_i]

returned to version 1.3, it is more stable

[infPICO]

I can confirm crashing all the time after short time with "terminating working thread" message.

[Multipulty2018]

So, --hide-diff -q is necessary or not?

[Ryzen2700x]

Thanks for the feedback on the V1.4, I will try to figure it , at least in not stuck in a loop of "retry after" and now exits, I hope to fix if soon, sry for that but it looks like ccminer not working very stable with 2 pools as mentioned above.

Regarding hide-diff and -q, it's just saves unneeded processes(CPU load) of calculation the diff of share and displaying log per GPU, this is why I made the -q to work after 180 sec so you could start mining and see the stats that all GPU's working OK and then it will enter the Quiet mode.

I can't say anything on stability for 1.3 vs 1.4, but on 1.4 it is really finicky when it decides to crash. Spent too much time trying to push the max clocks on cards and it seems stable for an hour but then crashes later. The terminating workio threads for me was a pool issue, for either 1.3 or 1.4.

[valentoz]

Hello dear friend! You are very good at making a miner! Your miner works much better than everyone else! Can you work on the new EWBF-ZHASH miner? I think a lot of people would really appreciate it.

[Miner2525]

I would like to share with you my modified version of ccminer 2.2.5 with improved lyra2z kernels,
I see that there is many new coins for this algo and since the hot summer is near there is no better "Eco" algo like lyra2z.
So I called it the -"coolMiner" :-).

Is there any speed enhancement for Lyra2zV2 or is that a completely different algorithm?

[HashAuger]

I finally upgraded my development system to the new Cuda SDK 9.2 compatible drivers so I could add support for your miner to my algorithm-switching software Hash Auger.  CoolMiner 1.3 seems very stable. Several users are reporting a significant decrease in power consumption versus other Lyra2z miners while still having great hash rates.  Good work!

[Ryzen2700x]

Thank you, keep the good work you are doing  .

[RIF86]

Add speed from 4000mh/s for 1080 ti !

with tpruvot ccminer x64 2.2.6 cuda9 it reached around 3800 khs, but with coolMiner-v1.3 it is much better - around 4420 khs !

[oup59]

Add speed from 4000mh/s for 1080 ti !

Himm sounds like a private miner fork of an open source miner for just 0.05BTC or a very optimized miner for Linux
Vega 64 makes around 7000 mh/s anyway, they say.

Thanks for your efforts, can you please compile it with Cuda 9.1 libraries? We're on hiveos and cannot use your miner yet. I get this error:

Code:

Your system does not support CUDA 9.2 API!

[mobileanarchy]

When trying to run the miner in benchmark mode it seems to ignore the algo parameter (it's always trying to bench blakecoin and fail).
Please fix by either wiring up the algo passed in as a parameter, or hardcode lyra2z instead of blakecoin.

Reproducible by running: coolMiner-x64 --algo=lyra2z --benchmark --time-limit 20

I'm trying to plug this miner into my GUI:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2907433.0
And benchmarking is a crucial functionality needed to make it work.

Thanks.

I did it with V1.4, but the miner crush/restart wastes time too, the problem is with ccminer when using 2 pools, I am trying to fix that.

why all the trouble? V1.4 exit's miner in case of connection problem, so u can use it, frequent miner restart looses profit because of the time takes to send first share after miner start.
V1.4 should be better in this case.

I will try to check if something changed in ccminer v2.3 in this matter.

[Dr_Victor]

What about power of gtx 1080ti to get 3.7M?

[Ryzen2700x]

I got Zotac AMP Extreme (320W TDP @bios) so the min power I can get is 160W @50% TDP, for me getting to 3.7Mhs is easy and should be at 160~170W, going to 3.75~3.85 is the hard part.
I am interested to see how other lower TDP 1080Ti models can do with tweaking, I can't get lower then 50% TDP on my card unless I lower Vcore but it lowers Core Clock- unlike 250W 1080Ti's that can have better hashrate @ 130W.

[sundownz]

Update: coolMiner-v1.4!
* Found solution to the error: stuck in a  loop  "retry after 5 seconds"-  when there is stratum connection/Stratum authentication error- now the miner will exit so you can monitor and relaunch it.

So... how can I make the re-launch automatic without a secondary batch file ?

Set it up on 5 machines & left for 20 minutes -- all 5 have closed.

well - there 2 things might be. 1- you did something wrong while making/starting those .bat s (it worked for me for 2-3 day without problem)
2- after couple days those 1.3 miner started to disappear suddenly (whatever i did to start it it just closing after 5-10 seconds of work) but i bet it s not my fault)))

PS - it you try to do that config with goto (link above) you ll have several copies of working miners bcz it doesnt kill the task in task manager.  and mine killing the task and creating new window with miner. and also you may try it on 1.4ver but i tested with 1.3 (though i think it doesnt matter) mostly i thing its windows10 bugs. just received an update on it, so tomorrow will try again

I set it up as per the link Ryzen2700x shared and it seems to be working smooth now. The miner does periodically error out but the .bat file gets it going again.

I understood why you are failing
you have the option - i 18
he makes a malfunction
on another version, you have 16
I just changed the setting to 16 in V1.4 and everything works fine
only the sense of what from V1.4 if there is only - i 18?

[rgsnedds]

https://github.com/yuzi-co/miners/releases

has coolminer1.4 in the repo...

[rgsnedds]

very nice.
I have run v1.4 in linux server and hashrates are expectionally improved...

1 x 1070ti, 1 x 1070 and 3 x 1060 previously not touching 7Mh/s, now reaching and easy 8MH/s

nice work dev.

I had some initial trouble getting the files into linux so I ended up downloading the tar.gz to my mac, then scp the file to my local rig (ubuntu 16.04 server).

cool-runnings!

[dragonmike]

Does anyone know why changing power target in nvidiainspector has no impact on this miner?
Whether I use 85% or 120% the power draw is exactly the same and I can't seem to increase clocks very much at all.

Basically I'm running my 1080's at 2.6 MH/s which isn't really anything to write home about...

[Ryzen2700x]

P-limit has no impact on Lyra2z, the power usage is always ~55% of your GPU's TDP.
My 1080Ti is 320W so it uses 160W~170W at min, other 1080Ti blower model with 250W TDP uses 120W~130W.
Only option to really oc the core clock is to increase the core voltage, try increasing the core voltage in small steps and see if helps.

Ok, is there a command in nvidiainspector to increase core voltage?
I would have thought that increasing power limit would allow nVidia's GPU boost to kick in and increase voltage automatically?

[dragonmike]

Think I found it:

-lockVoltagePoint:0,%VOLT%

I will give it a go, i.e. test with values at or above 1075000. See what happens.

[coinwiz84]

Drivers?

I've rolled back and forth and completely uninstalled them so many times I've lost count. I've been trying to troubleshoot individual cards by running several instances of the miner, but I can't find any logic behind the crashes.

It only affects the higher end cards 1070ti and 1080ti.

It kind of looks like the PSU is shutting down, but that's kinda impossible since other algos use way more power than lyra2z and run stable.

Not a damn thing.
I set the voltage at 1100000, power draw increased by a whooping 10W for the whole rig, but I was hardly able to overclock any more than before... and only lost stability. No positive impact whatsoever.

First of all, thanks to your coolminer, and will the new version 1.5 increase the hash?or more cooler?

u know cryptodredge is 10% faster than coolminer althought 25% more TDP .

[Ryzen2700x]

Sry, this is what I could do, speed is same.
Regarding other miners with higher TDP, every one should calculate if the added hash-rate compensates the extra electricity bill, some have cheap electricity and better cooling but some not.

Anyone know why T-Rex smashes all other Lyra2z miners?
Coolminer was on top for a while but I haven't seen a better hash anywhere else.
Wondering if coolminer has plans to improve on algo and compete?

[kantoi]

I just tried the newest version v1.5 but after the 24h disconnect of my provider the miner stopped working and didn't try to reconnect? Is that how it is supposed to be? Because then people with a 24h disconnect cannot use it - it should at least try to reconnect a few times/minutes before it stops working... The only stable and working version for me is v1.3

People stating that other miners are faster need to look at the name of this miner:  coolminer.  At some point you cannot increase hashrate without increased power usage.  To me coolminer is a good happy medium.  Much faster and cooler than ccminer, not as fast as t-rex, but much cooler!

That's exactly what I think about coolminer - I like that it runs cooler but still has a good hashrate. I just wish that the 24h disconnect gets fixed with the next version otherwise I'm stuck with v1.3

Hi here, Nvidia RTX 20xx series will be supported?

[SchroedingerC]

Due to presentation RTX 20xx (Turing GPUs) are made for human eye satisfaction, not for miners.
It will be probably even slower in mining than 10xx series (and ~6 times faster in grafics).
Miners must wait for Ampere GPUs... hypothetically
