lolMiner 1.64: Fastest Kaspa miner in market

[SigiSinatra]

Benchmark shows this on my 56/64 vega rig for 144.5:

...
Average speed (5s): 62.6 sol/s | 56.0 sol/s | 56.6 sol/s | 61.4 sol/s | 60.4 sol/s | 44.0 sol/s Total: 340.9 sol/s
Average speed (5s): 63.2 sol/s | 58.6 sol/s | 58.6 sol/s | 59.8 sol/s | 59.6 sol/s | 43.2 sol/s Total: 342.9 sol/s
---------------------------------------------
Average speed (60s): 61.8 sol/s | 57.2 sol/s | 56.7 sol/s | 61.5 sol/s | 56.9 sol/s | 46.4 sol/s Total: 340.7 sol/s

I also get invalid share and some warnings/errors:

Hmm something is wrong here. The speed you see is much higher then I would expect for this cards - I rather would think about 30 to 35 to be realistic.  No real idea why at the moment but I think something in tge filtering is broken. The miner after last round checks the solutions and filters out incomplere ones. Seems that does not work here and more solutions pass the check then it should. No idea why, but this is not good.

The warning message you got is no problem. This has something to do with a bit fancy pointer magic in GPU code ^^ But I wonder: this messages should not be displayed - you are certainly running 0.42? I think thats an older version.

seems it doesn't work for vegas on linux

Doesn't work at yours? What driver you use for the vegas, the ROCm or the amdgpu-pro?
I have no vega myself, so can not trst directly but with some detail info I think we can debug it

That's a pretty amazingly dramatic performance improvement.

I think there os a bug - your 30 to 33 sols / s is more realistic and in region so I am shure the solutions are all valid. I think in his case something is broken, but will have to see what exactly.
Hope in future versions to put some sol/s on top of cause. New code is already work in progress

I'm using 0.42 version | ubuntu 16.04 | rocm driver
lol I'm getting even higher hash rate on --setsclk 6 and --memclk 6 core/memory states.
Maybe rocm driver causing the problems.
Is there anyone here who managed to set miner properly on vega rig and rocm driver ?

So, after "some" tuning its there: lolMiner 0.42

The change log over 0.41:
- Improved speed on AMD GPUs:
Equihash 144/5: 
RX  580: 12.5 sol/s (0.41) → 22.5 sol/s (0.42)   (+80%)
Vega 56:  26.5 sol/s (0.41) → 33.5 sol/s (0.42)   (+26.5%)

Equihash 96/5:
RX 580: 11400 sol/s (0.41) → 12200 sol/s (0.42)   (+ 7%)

- Fixed a bug with SafeCoin (SAFE)
- Fixed a bug with the RIGNAME feature (it was not possible in 0.41 to make a user name without any worker name, that is fixed now)
- Added Asofe (ASF) compability (Equihash 144/5)

MINEX , AMD HD79x0 CARDS
a little hashrate addition, about 300-500 sol/sec

and the same problem with WINDOWS 7: lolminer042 shows high hashrates (about 12.5 as GF970 under EWBF) and lower real hashrates (about 6-8) with negative diff time by time
driver update to win7-64bit-radeon-software-adrenalin-edition-18.8.1-aug17 take no effect

it works fine under WINDOWS 10: about 10.5Msol/sec, and the equal hashrate on the pool

Yes, the MinexCoin code has some flaws currently, the NVidia more then the AMD. But new code is in the making for 0.43

I'm using 0.42 version | ubuntu 16.04 | rocm driver

Is there anyone here who managed to set miner properly on vega rig and rocm driver ?

ROCm and the ordinary driver are definitive different - at least when I use the rocm offline compiler I get very different register counts. I will see in instruction sets if I see something suspicious. That said: next week a new testing GPU (RX 580) arrives here, then I will set up a Linux box with multiple drivers (The amdgpu-pro, free clover drivers and the rocm), so I can better compare them and see how different they behave. That said, next side hits same target:

I am not installed AMDGPU PRO drivers.  I have Radeon RX 560 4Gb.

Unfortunately I have no opportunity right now to test on the free drivers. Usually from the used code it should work on them but I do not know the memory allocation rules on this drivers. Clinfo should never the less work with the free AMD drivers as well, so if you could run it and send me the output in a private message that may help me a lot fixing this

Found out today why the free Clover drivers do not work. Will be fixed in 0.43

Confusing about 8 vega's rig.
Linux, 0.42, "DEVICES" : [0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7] or "AUTO"
Trying start with all GPU used. Miner will work only 1st 5 GPU(0,1,2,3,4), speed for GPU 5,6,7 = 0 and power consumption about 20-30w(idle).
Does not matter what GPU used, miner works only with 5.
But! If i run 2 miners with 2 configs  "DEVICES" : [0,1,2,3,4] and "DEVICES" : [5,6,7] all devices works fine with full load and good hashing.
For me it not problem run 2 instances, but anyway...
Any ideas?

Hmm - which algorithm causing these problems, 96/5 or 144/5?
One possible reason could be (virtual) memory size in your rig. Both algorithms use a large amount of memory on GPU. That said the AMD Windows driver has the strange habit to use the same amount of RAM as allocated on GPU when creating the memory buffers. So running 8x the 144/5 algorithm requires the sum of your virtual memory + available (free) RAM to be at least 8x3GB = 24 GB. If it is less the miner is not able to allocate memory for all devices. After some start up phase the drivers free the RAM and thus the required amount gets less. Thats why a 2nd instance started a litte later on the remaining devices may work for some Rigs.

Hello! Can we expect more performance in the near future (rx570,144/5,BTCZ)? I guess the + 80% is also true for it. Congratulations to your job!

I have some ideas left what to try. Not such a big jump again, but I would love to see RX 580 doing 22 sol/s now to jump over 25 ... that may be feasible and I will definitely try to make it possible

Hi;

Thank you for the progress.

My ZHash (144,5) test on is Win10 with following RX580 stock ROM GPU's GPU0, GPU1, GPU2 Hynix and GPU3, GPU4, GPU5 Micron (Gpu 1430 / Memory 2100)

Average speed (5s): 22.4 sol/s | 25.8 sol/s | 22.0 sol/s | 22.4 sol/s | 20.6 sol/s | 24.6 sol/s Total: 137.8 sol/s
Average speed (5s): 21.2 sol/s | 22.0 sol/s | 25.2 sol/s | 22.4 sol/s | 29.8 sol/s | 23.8 sol/s Total: 144.4 sol/s
Average speed (5s): 24.4 sol/s | 27.8 sol/s | 22.8 sol/s | 24.2 sol/s | 23.0 sol/s | 21.2 sol/s Total: 143.4 sol/s

Kind regards

Hey man will you allow awesome miner to support this miner that would be great and please don't link some other monitor because i won't use this miner, an will wait for some else to come out with one an some one will.

[wilsoncosta]

Just tried this new version and it improved my hash rate in about 50%.

Rig setup:
2 x RX 570 4Gb
1 x RX 560 4Gb
OS: Simple Mining
Algo: Equi 144/5

lolMiner 0.4:
30 Sol/s
340w

lolMiner 0.42:
46 Sol/s
380w

[BigHarryArmsi]

Thank you Lolliedieb for your efforts! My long dormant 5x580 8gb rig is humming away at ~115 hashes on BTCZ!
 hoo hooo….
Not to be too picky picky here now, but howzabout some colorful stats on the miner? Just sayin' the white font on black gets a little stale after a bit but my daughter insists there is a puce hue to the vertical separators? Could that be true?
 Anyhow, thanks for what you are doing and I am praying an even higher hash rate soon as these ~115 hashes are costing me near 1100 watts at the wall.  

[Jury2311]

Hi all. I need help by Simplemining.net, setup for BTCZ mining - AMD cards.

I put this setup for mining BTCZ with lolminer 0.42, but dosnt work:

-coin=BTCZ -server=btcz.suprnova.cc -port=6586 -user=Jurexxxx -p x -$rigName

Which is the correct setup? Tnx.

[ayiphelmy]

i can't add this miner to awesome miner... can u make it up?

[BigHarryArmsi]

I'm under volting my 580s 10% with TRIXX. Anyone else? How low can I go. No changes to clocks and hashes seem unchanged at this point. Just tryna lower wattage at the wall. Wattage was 100 before now 990. Thanks for any help, eh?

[ruplikminer]

can you add the support of the 210_9 Algo?

It would be amazing!! thanks

[cryptomaxsun]

And is there a profitability calculator for this algorithm?

For the latter I pray, too xD
Well as for colorful stats ... maybe I will do so, will see ^^ Would also a html stat page make the job for you? Currently thinking how to extend the API... but first more / new mining codes
But: In my opinion you should check your OC settings. If the 5 cards do 115 they do 23 sol/s each. Thats not bad, but I would rather try to lower oc / try to under-clock or run lower voltages. 1100 W for 5x580 is pretty much. Ok, do not know about your CPU and so on, even if they draw 100 its too much. Many eth mining rigs run at -0.2V under-volt and 1150 / 2150 clocks and less (instead of the usual 1350 stock clocks). It may be that then your rig does rather 100 sol/s then 115, but if then only uses 600 to 650W instead of 1100 its definitely a win in profitability unless you have free electricity.

Hi all. I need help by Simplemining.net, setup for BTCZ mining - AMD cards.
I put this setup for mining BTCZ with lolminer 0.42, but dosnt work:

-coin=BTCZ -server=btcz.suprnova.cc -port=6586 -user=Jurexxxx -p x -$rigName

This does not seem too bad. Lets assume you have the username "Lolliedieb" on suprnova with a configured worker name "lolRig" and password "x" there, then you have two opportunities to configure in command line. First:

Code:

-coin=BTCZ -server=btcz.suprnova.cc -port=6586 -user=Lolliedieb.lolRig -p x

Second:

Code:

-coin=BTCZ -server=btcz.suprnova.cc -port=6586 -user=Lolliedieb -p x -rigname=lolRig

In case that $RIGNAME is a properly set environment variable "-rigname=$RIGNAME" should work, but did not test this.

i can't add this miner to awesome miner... can u make it up?

Can you specify what your problem is? Maybe we can figure out together how to do it.

can you add the support of the 210_9 Algo?
It would be amazing!! thanks

Currently I give a bit priority to 192/7, but 210/9 will come as well. Promised, but do not know yet when. I know I am somehow much slower then ewbf but I believe he does this full time and he has only half as much code to write, since its only one GPU vendor ^^

And is there a profitability calculator for this algorithm?

Hmm ... currently no really good calculators I guess. At least non featuring all of the coins that work with 144/5. Maybe a point to start is coincalculators.io, which at least features BTG, XSG, BTCZ and ZEL. But there you have to insert your speed and watts manually.


-----------------------------

Some general comments till now:
Currently approx 10k sol/s are produced for 144/5 algorithm for all coins together and I earned so far approx 70$ from this miner (from start, although rate increased 4x since 0.42 is out). As for 96/5 (Minexcoin) approx 30 Msol/s are currently produced with this miner.

[restless]

I cant get any coin suggestion for Zhash from https://www.coincalculators.io/ :/
Can you suggest a "base" coin for the algos against which to check possible profitability?
maybe BTG?

@Lolliedieb

Can you please add an option to support custom personalization strings?

Support for 192,7 (Zero and new SafeCash with different personalization string)
There is a beta miner for NVidia you released some time ago, is it coming to AMD?

Support for pool side coin personalization string switching for Zergpool (Like EWBF miner for NVIDIA)?

Hi.

Tnx, but dont work...

I get this error:

Lost connection to stratum server 127.0.0.1:9999 or server not reachable.
Trying to connect in 5 seconds
Lost connection to stratum server 127.0.0.1:9999 or server not reachable.

If u know anyother pool, no probs, i can change to other pool.

Tnx in advance.

Well I will have a look into this zergpool stuff. Will see if I find a specification to their personalization string stratum modification.
And yes, the 192/7 miner I did some time ago will be merged into this product, but with a new mining code that should run on AMDs, based on the current 144/5 code we have here. From the numbers I have the estimate for the 580 I have, running 22 sol/s in 144/5 I would say the 192/7 could run 13.5 on it. So overall range for 580 should be 12 to 14 depending on clocks and concrete card.
No idea yet about what this code does on Nvidia. Will start with an AMD code, because for Nvidia there are good alternatives on market.

Tnx, but dont work...

Damn it, that was my fault ^^
It is not -server=, but -pool=btcz.suprnova.cc
That should work better

[coinscrow]

lolminer has been updated to v0.42 on minerstat mining OS & Windows Node

And is there a profitability calculator for this algorithm?

https://minerstat.com/mining-calculator

(Equihash 144,5 & Zhash)

[restless]

Zhash rewards are borked (calculates 140$/day with 18h/s for BTG)

PS: fun fact:
on MNX benchmark, Radeon 265 and 270 are faster than 7950 - ~ 8000h/s on stock clocks. Tried it just for fun

[joeykolb]

 i wish that minexcoin 96.5 works with  btg hashrates

pls make the 96.5 to work the same as the 144 for rx's
