lolMiner 1.64: Fastest Kaspa miner in market

[Lolliedieb]

Does not work with 17.8-BETA drivers. I will not change drivers for new ones.

Problem is that your drivers turn 3 years old now. AMD had a lot of breaking changes with their drivers, so if I want my code to run on older ones I need to install them and do all the build stuff for them as well. Its already plenty of work to go back to 18.10 drivers (RX 580) or 18.50 (Vegas), which are the oldest I currently build for.

Why do you want to stick on that old drivers? The newer ones are really not bad - and what was introduced with the old blockchain drivers is now part of the newer ones. Afaik there is no technical reason to stick on the (very) old ones.

[SergeySS]

With old drivers, the power consumption of video cards is 80 watts, with the new ones 120 watts and the performance is the same. For me, consumption is critical.

[WhyMe]

I don't see how that is possible

please add XGM to 280x

We all know the 17.8 Beta Crimson Blockchain Driver was the best driver. I just wish AMD will update the Blockchain Driver to a 2020 edition since more are interested now in GPU mining. It is just more better for mining rigs.

I don't believe Adrenaline Drivers completely have what the Blockchain driver had, what was introduced to it. Cos I have some rigs with the same particular brand of RX 580 GPUs that run perfectly with the Blockchain Driver with good hashrates, but go crazy and/or low hashrate when I install the 2019 or 2020 edition Adrenaline drivers with compute mode settings.

However, on the rest of my other rigs with well-known brands of GPU, Adrenaline 2020 edition is perfect.

So ... took a while, but lolMiner 1.0 is ready to go

You can download it here.

Note:

lolMiner changed configuration scheme a bit, since I did a very deep rework on the internal stuff behind it.
That said:

• --port is no longer supported! Please use --pool <addr>:<port> scheme instead
• For using failover pools: You now can use --pool, --user and --pass multiple times in cmd. They will be processed in order of appearance
• You now can select the algorithm directly. For this --algo (-a) is a new parameter. Use --list-algos for getting a list of supported algorithms and if they need / support personalization (--pers).  --coin is still supported, but now used for more special functions and some selected projects
• There is a new, more simple config file format that just uses same parameters as cmd. That said with --json and --profile you still can import the old format if you liked that more

This is only a small set of the changes. In doubt read the new help function (-h) or the growing online manual.

With regard to new algorithms: Support for Cortex and the new Grin-C29M solver was already given with the last alpha versions of 1.0.
New in this release is

• Support for Beam Hash III (use --coin BEAM for auto for routine from Beam Hash II to III or --algo BEAM-III to select it manually)
• I re-enables Beam Hash I (--algo BEAM-I) with support for personalization (--pers). This should allow mining Beam forks like XGM or DEFIs.

For any questions: feel free to ask

They have it all - the compute mode is pretty much what the Beta driver introduced. The only problem is that some miner devs did not recompile their miners for newer drivers (one older Monero miner was famous for this) and thus some miners did not work with the more recent versions. But technically the newer drivers can do everything the blockchain driver can

[swongsR1thing]

MR plus, you have to put III instead of 2x II. It's a different algo, you are mining incompatible algo on pool ready for beamIII.

First of all Nicehash BeamV3 currently only works for few shares ... then it looses connection since there are no buyers for BeamV3 yet
Wait for the fork.


BUT:
My miner had an other bug with Nicehash, which is fixed with new lolMiner 1.01

Please load it here: https://github.com/Lolliedieb/lolMiner-releases/releases/tag/1.01

Changelog:

• Improved performance of Beam Hash III on all 6G+ cards (by about 4-5%)
•     Added 3G* / 4G solver for Beam Hash III
      (* will not work in Windows 10 and some older AMD cards)
•    Fixed an issue with mining Beam Hash III to NiceHash
•    --tls now allowed to be used multiple times to configure it for each pool separately
•     If found the miner will now load the user_config.json file per default again (fixes issues with minerstat)
•    Fixed temperature and power monitoring for VII and Navi on Windows 10 (Fan speed may still be broken ... work in progress)

 Trying RX470 4G with lolminer 1.01 on simplemining OS for Beam3, but getting "miner ended or crushed". Any help? Not enough memory or too old GPU?

[WhyMe]

Miner wants to run BEAMIII 8G solver on my 4G RX cards under w10

[tale01]

BEAM III - Fiji not support 

[FloppyPurpleGherkin]

Miner wants to run BEAMIII 8G solver on my 4G RX cards under w10

Same

It fails because the miner is selecting 8G solver for 4G 570/580...
