lolMiner 1.64: Fastest Kaspa miner in market

[BigHarryArmsi]

Can't  figure out how to add a file to existing folder (directory?) I think.

I'm not sure I have the capability of blind walking you through directory copying and file editing on Windows if you've never done it before.  Usually my "go to" solution for this situation is to recommend hiring a kid in the neighborhood to come do it for you for a few bucks. Kids always know how to hack any computer.

Mostly you want to right click on the folder/directory, choose the 'copy' from the dropdown menu, hold down the ctrl key and tap the 'v' key. That should create a new directory renamed with a " - Copy" added into the name. You can edit your .json file in there for your remaining GPU's and then run the miner bat file from that new directory.

Thank you again for your assistance. I can't seem to make it work though. When I click on "copy" in the drop down menu nothing happens. Am I supposed to paste that "copy" somewhere? If I just highlight copy and then "control-v" nothing happens, either. I asked my 12 y/o to lend a hand and got nowhere, also. I have a friend who will grudgingly help me. He is a gamer and builds gaming machines for resale. He barely endures my requests for help and all mining is anathema to him... hehehe. I do torment him a bit about it. I will get this resolved and thanks again

Will lolMiner be supported on awesome miner? Thanks,

[Lolliedieb]

Is there a way we can we just add the necessary instructions to the existing config, to mine 2 sets of devices? I can get help with the above instructions in a day or so, but if this is a common problem maybe adding a run.bat or config file that can be adapted to 2 sets of GPUs on one rig. I'm just thinking out loud here in my ignorance. Forgive me if I am out of line.

I think what you want to get is rather easy to do:
Just create two identical profiles in user_config.json, one with "DEVICES" : [0,1,2,3], and second with the other cards. Name one "PROFILE1 and the other "PROFILE2". Then the only thing you need is to do a copy of the run_miner.bat and edit them, so one points to PROFILE1 and the other to PROFILE2. Then double click both and you are ready to go

I noticed that setting AMD drivers from Graphics to Compute makes no difference to hashrate?
I thought hashrate would increase on Compute mode.
Also when the next Alpha for MNX coin mining, thanks..

Next alphs planned for next 5 to 7 days. Will likely include MNX for Nvidia and Zero/GenX for AMD. May sound odd that I mix algos here but makes sense from my perspective since some techniques from both sides will flow into Aion code ^^

Will lolMiner be supported on awesome miner? Thanks,

0.6 API should allow this - I will check that

Hello, Lolliedieb!
I use your miner for GTX 1080. Everything is great!
I tried to use for the GTX 960 and got this picture:

Does this mean that the miner cannot be used with old video cards or is it something else? (driver, win 10 or other ....)
EWBF miner sometimes gives up to 20 sol. Trifle - but nice ...

Hey folks,

I have worked for a while now and although there might be still headroom here and there I think it is time to present lolMiner 0.5

For those who can not wait (plz read the manual ^^) here are the download links:

[Lin 64] Click me (0.5 Linux)
[Win 64] Click me (0.5 Windows)

So lets start with the performance first. I did benchmarks as well with 0.43 as 0.5 and ewbf 0.5 on Nvidia. All benchmarks lasted at least an hour to get stable results and let the miner heat up.
Note that for 96/5 I had to correct the 0.43 results down due to defect shares.

Here are the results

AMD RX 580 4G (Sapphire Pulse, stock):

	lolMiner 0.43	lolMiner 0.5
Equihash 96/5	12096.7 sol/s	13951.6 sol/s
Equihash 144/5	21.2 sol/s	25.1 sol/s
Equihash 192/7	12.5 sol/s	15.2 sol/s
Equihash 210/9	-	107,5 sol/s

NVidia GTX 1080 FE (stock):

	lolMiner 0.43	lolMiner 0.5	ewbf 0.5
Equihash 96/5	17200 sol/s*	19984.1 sol/s	22141.4 sol/s
Equihash 144/5	34,4 sol/s	45.5 sol/s	43.7 sol/s
Equihash 192/7	19,5 sol7s	23.1 sol/s	19.8 sol/s
Equihash 210/9	-	178.4 sol/s	209.0 sol/s

Note: I observed that newer AMD drivers are a little quicker then 2017 ones. Maybe worth a try.
* Corrected value due to invalid shares.

So well – you see some Nvidia algos may be better (I wonder what black magic he used for 96/5 xD) but overall I think improvements are nice compared to 0.43.

So what is new:
- Complete rework of all GPU algorithms for both stability and speed
Note that this also changed the memory footprint of the algorithms. 144/5 is now fitting to 2.2G and thus works on 3G cards when GPU is attached and 192/7 is now close to 3G and should work on any 4G card fine.
210/9 (AION) by the way uses only ~800M.

- Added Equihash 210_9 (Aion)
- Added Coins: AION, ANON and BTH
- Renamed the AUTO144 coin profile to AUTO144_5. Also added AUTO192_7 (see manual where it is possible to use this)
- Changed the command line style.
Before it was -parameter=value and now it is --parameter value
This is more Linux style and will help integrating the miner into mining OS solutions

- Rewrote the complete manual
- Added a function to write the text output to a log (see manual)
- Added support for custom personalization strings for Equihash 144/5 and 192/7 (see manual)
- The disabling of the memory check is no longer required on 3G & 4G Nvidia GPUS (disabled by default)
- Reduced the maximum work batch for 96/5 to 24[/b] because higher values caused crashed some times.
- Changed the standard short / long statistic intervals to 30 seconds and 5 minutes.
- Changed the run_miner scripts not to loop any more (unless you use the _with_restart version), see known issues.

Migration Guide:
Kernels and command line interface have changed, but most config files from 0.43 will continue to work. So if you want to migrate from 0.43 best create a new folder for 0.5, unzip the archives there and then copy over your config file from old to new folder.
Do not forget to update the run_miner scripts with the profiles you like to use!

Know issues:
The new codes have all been stable so far with except for 192/7 on Nvidia. I observed approx a miner close in 4-5 hours for this. For this GPUs I recommend using the _with_restart starting scripts that will restart the miner directly.

Hello I am having this issue:
...
   Kernel driver in use: amdgpu

Opencl is installed.

Can you check if clinfo also finds your GPUs? As far as I know the amdgpu driver comes without OpenCL support, this is only included in the amdgpu-pro driver (or via CLOVER / Mesa drivers that are based on the OpenSource amdgpu). That may be the issue.

Whats the latest version DL link?

I just updated the download links - now 0.5 and the 0.6 alpha are both on gitHub.

Hello, Lolliedieb!

What miner version you use, is this 0.6 or 0.5? I have to admit I do not own a Maxwell series GPU, so I am not sure where this problem comes from.  One possibility would be the chip running out of resources at some point, most likely register space or shared mem, but can not say for sure due to lack of a testing system (Someone here with a 960 in a linux system who could rent me a ssh access for a day so I can debug?)

Thank you all for the help. I have managed to set up two folders. One JSON has the DEVICES set to 0,1,2 and the other JSON with DEVICES 3,4. The run_miner.bat is the same for both. They both work individually and sometimes kinda work together. It seems I need to better distinguish one from the other for both minners to run concurrently at full speed. Whichever one I start first runs satisfactorily the next will be half baked at best. Any ideas? Lolliedieb said to set one as PROFILE1 and the other as PROFILE2, but I don't know where to put those two markers. Thank you all for your assistance.

What are the best AMD x580 MNX values people have used?

      ]

As far as I know suprnova supports the auto method, so this should work. But you have a typo in:

Code:

"EXAMPLE_GENX" :
{
"COIN" : "AUTO192_7",
"POOLS" : [
{"POOL" : "genx.suprnova.cc",
"PORT" : "9983",
"USER" : "jjzsolt.joecoinS",
"PASS" : "x"}
]
        }

This is how it should look like (if the EXAMPLE_GENX entry is the last one in config file ... else you have to put an additional "," after the last "}" I quoted). Note that its AUTO192_7 instead of AUTO192.7

[joeykolb]

thanks lollie/ about that } sign.i know that.i just copied a part of config file not the whole thing..thanks for that auto thing 192_7

[starlilyth]

Hey Lollie!

Just wanted to thank you for working so hard with us on the API for your miner, it means a lot to our users - and yours! It has been good to work with you on integrating your miner into PIMP OS and miner.farm, I hope you see much success!

Thank you for your support,
Lily

What are the best AMD x580 MNX values people have used?

Same question here -  I need too some guidance how to set optimal and energy saving values to following cards:
RX 570 4 GB  (currently 1200/1800 @ 1000mV)
R9 270/280 2/3/4 GB (currently 900/1250 @ 960 mV)

Although, those values are rock stable with lolMiner 0.5 and AION Mainnet, I would like to rise core/mem/voltage a little bit to get more heat from my rigs (winter is coming  )
but not too much to cause noise problem and too big bill for electricity.

Any help would be appreciated!

[BigHarryArmsi]

Whichever one I start first runs satisfactorily the next will be half baked at best. As I continue to experiment, the numbers of functioning GPUs and their speed in the second started miner fluctuate from no miners to two or three but never more than one at full speed. Any ideas? Lolliedieb said to set one as PROFILE1 and the other as PROFILE2, but I don't know where to put those two markers. Thank you all for your assistance.

I reinstall amdgpu-pro drivers. I was using the drivers for  the 480x, before i reinstall. Now Im using 470x drivers. However, I still have issues with running the miner. I tried to run clinfo, but I don't if I am doing it right. I know there is something I'm not doing right.

Hey really getting good performance from V06. But is there a quick way to lower intensity or tweak it?

Maybe I need to read more  

thx for any quick answers....  

[Sanmark]

I cant connect to suprnova pool for mining btg with lolminer. As I understand it have something to do with personalisation string BgoldPoW but I cant find anywhere how to do that.
