GMiner v3.44 Dero/Karlsen/Radiant/Ergo+IronFish+ZIL/KAWPOW/Equihash/Cortex

[cybervermin]

Hello,

I'm new to using Gminer. I used the DL link from Github directly from this forum. I successfully ran the program on 2 rigs starting about 4 days ago. When I went to get it again for my main rig it came up with a warning Trojan:Win32/TrickBot!ml and the infected file was the miner.exe. Is this normal? It didn't pop up on the other 2 downloads from a couple days ago. Just wondering what I should do? Thanks!

If you downloaded it from GMiner's link on the first page you are fine. It happens quite often that antivirus programs give trojan/virus alarms with mining software, but you should always take care where you download your miner from. In other words always download from the link provided by the miner on the first page.

We all are not idiot and know where to download the right gminer software. So let's stop to redirect people where is the right place for downloading. Let's focus to the main question:

Version 2.70 doesn't show viruses but all after that are marked as malware? Why?
Could you share with us which piece of code  is the difference between the versiona and is the reason to be detected as a virus?

I can´t confirm this.

Virustotal say:
2.74 = 17 security vendors flagged this file as malicious
2.70 = 24 security vendors flagged this file as malicious
2.66 = 24 security vendors flagged this file as malicious

So it is normal i think.

Results for the lolminer 1.38 for example show me 29 security vendors and 1 sandbox flagged this file as malicious.

What is the software used for your tests?? I was talking about checking the gminer with Virustotal - check that 2.70 doesn't show viruses but 2.74 shows - this is on Virustotal - that's why I was asked to show the code that make this difference between 2 versions

You read my post? I checked it with Virustotal. All versions a flagged as malicious. You can test every miner and you will get a malicious flag.
Phoenixminer are flagged by 43 security vendors XD

here is my result! The difference is because you are using windows version of gminer - I use the linux one! In linux there is difference in version 2.74 and 2.70 ( the first one is flages as virus, 2.70 is clean - check the link). The last Phoenixminer version under linux also doesn't show viruses! I don't care about Windows ( the empire of evil ) it is viruses by default .

The point is, the malicious detection can change with every version, because new code inside. T-Rex miner linux version also shows malicious.
You must see the overall point, and not starting Linux and Windows bashing, it is senseless.
Why should they do other stuff in the Linux version than in the Windows version? But you say you don't care about the Windows version, so you don't care about anyone - Selfish?
Virustotal cannot scan the Linux miner file complete by the way  only 56 of 65 security vendors
Linux don´t care me, but i am here to discuss about it. If you have problems with the malicious detection, use other miner or go back to 2.70.

Don´t spread fud, this will help no one.

I just took a quick look at it, it does look suspicious.

It use anti-debugging techniques and parts of the binary is packed.
Just like it's trying to hide something...  Question is why, it's open source so why try to evade debuggers and pack the binary?

It is on the first page under the heading Resources the github link.

Found it, Thanks!!

Do you know the parameters for mining Votecoin? Hashrate is very low so I am going to download GMiner for that, I hope its the correct miner. Just dont know the right parameteres.

GMiner v2.75 available for download

v2.75
+ major performance improvement for LHR GPUs on Ethash algorithm
+ improved auto-tuning for LHR GPUs
+ changed developer fee to 1% on Ethash algorithm (all major Ethash miners has fee 1%)

v2.75
+ major performance improvement for LHR GPUs on Ethash algorithm
+ improved auto-tuning for LHR GPUs
+ changed developer fee to 1% on Ethash algorithm (all major Ethash miners has fee 1%)

So meaning for people who has no lhr gpus then better to keep using the 2.74v as fee is at 0.65%? What about if you could do, if gpu = lhr then fee 1% if not then 0.65% that would have been better, what do you think?

Plus mining profits is lower and lower, soon pool and miner fee would be a death situation for many miners, especially when they will be mining with negative profits.

Also you miner devs know that only small to mid scale miners use your softwares, big farms have their own software and they also don't use pools. So big scale miners dont pay that 2% fee.

Damn, dev fee passing from 0,65% to 1% is really a bad move, I guess I give TBM another chance...

yeah, absolutely. especially that phoenix miner still 0.65% fee!!

lolminer is 0.7%
PhoenixMiner  is 0.065%

The Team Black Miner only has 0.5% fee..

[Metroid]

The Team Black Miner only has 0.5% fee..

in his words "+ changed developer fee to 1% on Ethash algorithm (all major Ethash miners has fee 1%)"

So it seems, he does not consider TeamBlackMiner or PhoenixMiner as big, interesting. I have no idea about mining stats but after claymore, PhoenixMiner was the biggest, not sure nowadays. Anyway, that is a good fee, I will try it later for testing purposes.

What is the "Major performace increase" with LHR?  I tried 2.75 and my 3060TI maybe increased by 0.2mhs.  Is that really it?

I guess examples on how much performance on lhr gpus was increased would be welcome to justify the increased fee.

Indeed.  Going back to 2.74 until someone shows how to obtain more than 0.2mhs improvement.

Frends, need help:

I just need gminer to shutdown itself or restart my computer if there is no connection. I specified --watchdog_restart_delay 60 and --watchdog_mod 1. But nothing happens if the connection to the pool is lost. The --min_rig_speed function doesn't work either. I reset the overclock so that the hashrate is lower than the one specified in --min_rig_speed, but gminer does not stop. In normal mode and with administrator privileges too.
How do I programmatically force gminer to reload the rig or just close the bat-file's window if the pool connection is lost?
Windows 10.

There is a video about the fee 1% and the major performance gminer dev claims on lhr gpus, unless somebody want to counter this video then please speak out.

If I keep using ver 2.74, dev fees remain 0,65%?

without forgetting the electricity which is only increasing...

I don't find the fees normal, moreover 90% of my farms are solo so the fees are useless..

it's stupid to have a contest to offer ETH and then increase the fees!

[Metroid]

I don't find the fees normal, moreover 90% of my farms are solo so the fees are useless..

Are you sure about that? My point is even you mine solo, he will still get that 1% of that time and send shares to his pool address isn't? Maybe I'm mistaken on this, to mine you need to have directly contact with the internet and so his program will charge that 1%, as far as I understand, yes you are solo mining 99% of the time, that 1% is to his mining pool address or even his solo pool or not pool mining address hehe, so as long as is not your address in that 1% then yes you are losing that 1%.

Anyway, my point is, as long as you are using his program he can do anything with your shares.

precisely it should detect the addresses of the solo pools then make free or put 1% in the multiminer pool and 0.50% in the solo pool

Then there are solutions to stop his costs which are illogical in view of the thousands of eth he may have had for years, at some point you have to stop shooting at the cow's magpie
