New version v3.9.3.8 released: this update contains a lot GRIN related stuff. We added support for Grinmint pool and added the GrinProMiner v1.1 to enable GRIN mining on AMD devices. For NVIDIA, the newest Bminer v14.1.0 serves best as GRIN miner.
All other included miners have been updated to their newest versions, with one surprise guest: Tpruvot has updated his miner to v2.3.1
Also, some significant additions are Energiminer v2.2.1, TT-miner v2.1.7 and two DYN miners.

Finally I found the time to post a version update on bitcointalk. RainbowMiner v3.9.7.4 has been released. We added the new SWAP algorithm Cuckaroo29s plus multiple pools that explicitly support this. Also, two of the miners support MTP mining on Nicehash, now and the compatibiliy with the new Nvidia GPUs has been significantly improved. And finally, party mining has arrived for Bsod.pw, Gos.cx and ZergPool. The core has been reworked at many edges, too: rejected shares will now be monitored, CPU/GPU mining conflicts will be resolved automatically (if mining Cuckaroo29, for example) and many more tweaks and improvements.

Happy mining!

Hello! Thanks for your awesome software!

I have only a small difficulty with grinmint. I want to mine in the EU server but it's mining on the US one.
I have no clue as to where to change that, other than going in the config file and manually setting it... but I don't want to do manual configurations that might get overridden with the next update.

Any better solution to that?

Thank you

Which is your default region?

Actually, if you are not in us nor in eu region, the software chooses for you. I will add a new setting to the configuration (Config\config.txt) where you may put a preferred region for pools that do not offer stratum hosts in your region.

I'm living in Europe and when I went to (S)ettings > (A)ll , I came upon the setting "Enter your region".
There I typed "list" and I noticed there are two options for Europe, one is "europe" and the other is "eu". Same with the United States, there's a USA and a US.

I opened the Grinmint.ps1 and on lines 39-44 there's the following code,

Code:

$Pools_Data = @(
    [PSCustomObject]@{port = 3416; region = "eu"; host = "eu-west-stratum.grinmint.com"; ssl = $false}
    [PSCustomObject]@{port = 4416; region = "eu"; host = "eu-west-stratum.grinmint.com"; ssl = $true}
    [PSCustomObject]@{port = 3416; region = "us"; host = "us-east-stratum.grinmint.com"; ssl = $false}
    [PSCustomObject]@{port = 4416; region = "us"; host = "us-east-stratum.grinmint.com"; ssl = $true}
)

I had it set to "europe" and now I changed it to "eu" in order to try the outcome... it's still connecting to the US pool so I guess there's a bug in the function which calls the grinmint.ps1 ? By the way, what language is that? It looks like JavaScript but the dollar symbol which is probably used to declare variables isn't part of JavaScript. Maybe C# which I've never used?

[RivAngE]

And another subject... there's a trick I use in order to get a payment in a different coin than BTC. I guess it'd be too complicated to add this option since it'd require many changes on your program and I don't think many would be interested, but if you ever re-write part of the code, please have it in mind!

Right now this is my trick for anyone interested, step by step,

• Go to the software's directory and find the config folder (\RainbowMiner\RainbowMiner\Config).
• Open the "pools.config" file.
• Find your pool of choice or all the pools you're using.
• Change the part "BTC":  "$Wallet" to the symbol of your altcoin of choice. For example: "RVN":  "$Wallet"
• If for whatever reason you prefer to use different coin payouts in different pools, just fill the corresponding coin symbol BUT ALSO manually add your wallet address, replacing the "$Wallet"
   - Wherever there's the "$Wallet" variable, the program will use whatever wallet you've input in the miner's settings.

   - Wherever there's the "$Wallet" variable, the program will use whatever wallet you've input in the miner's settings.

Yes, that should do the job - there is a simpler and more flexible way that allows you to keep BTC (for example to mine on Nicehash).

• either use the build-in configuration (press C, then C) to add or edit a coin of your choice plus wallet (e.g. RVN) or edit the Config\coins.config.txt directly. I have added RVN and XMR as default/example already.
• now edit the pools.config.txt and change the "BTC": "$Wallet", to "RVN": "$RVN" for every pool with autoexchange, that you would to be payed in RVN. The variable $RVN will be substituted automatically with the wallet address in coins.config.txt. You may use the build-in configuration (C, then P) to change the pool's wallets, too.

.. I will check the Grinmint pool. It should select the eu server over the us, if you have selected "eu" or "europe" as region. It doesn't matter, how you type the region. All region, algorithm and coin strings will be converted to some unique standard, internally.

Thank you for bringing this up! The Grinmint stratum problem should be solved with the newest release v3.9.8.4.

To answer your question: RainbowMiner is programmed, using Powershell and some parts using C#

[rainbowminer]

Some miner updates have hit the shelves, so here is our new release v3.9.8.4, updating Bminer to v15.1.0, XmrigCpu to v2.13.1 and Ethminer to v0.17.1. The build-in watchdog now has improved timing, internet connectivity is being checked contiously and some bugs have been fixed, including the stratum region selection for some pools.

Happy mining!

XmrigCpu? Is this still around?
I have an 8600k, well cooled. From your experience, is there any CPU-minable coin that's profitable? I wouldn't mind mining with my GPU and CPU at the same time.

[Iamtutut]

Hi dev, can you make your miner fully support the latest stable drivers (Adrenalin 2019 Edition 19.1.1) ?

Barely, but yes, it is still profitable. Currently the best options are to mine m7m or YescryptR16.
Those may be mined in parallel to most of the GPU miners. If mininig together with Cuckaroo miners, it will reduce the CPU mining speed.

[rainbowminer]

Hi dev, can you make your miner fully support the latest stable drivers (Adrenalin 2019 Edition 19.1.1) ?

The software itself should work, no matter which drivers. Some of the build-in miners might crash on the new adrenalin edition. But that should be no problem, since the watchdog will disable them during benchmark.

[rainbowminer]

Good news, we finally added two of the major pools in the asia region: F2pool and Sparkpool made it into our library. Gminer added more speed to it's Cuckaroo29/Cuckatoo31, as well as bminer. Also, most Cryptonight miners, like Xmrig, XmrStak/Fireice and Srbminer updated their code to reflect current and upcoming forks.

Happy mining!

So many changes that I wouldn't be able to follow on my own, thanks for doing this job once for all your miners. All we have to do is double click your shortcut! Well... after going through the long settings once...
You certainly deserve your dev fee!

My only fear is, what if a miner is infected and I download it automatically in my system? I have like 3 devs I trust but Rainbow miner is using soooo many different miners.
It's an unavoidable risk I suppose?

Thank you 

I am mining since years with changing rigs and hardware, but luckily I never ever had a virus infection on any of them.
Anyway, there is always a minimum risk left over, regarding a virus infection. To keep the risk low, I do check all miners against hashes, after download and before upload. Also, I analyse them systematically in a sandbox environment. If anything weird is showing up, the miner will not be added.

[rainbowminer]

With this release, I introduce notifications: if you decide to use the monitoring service on https://rbminer.net you may now be notified, if one of your rigs go offline. To get notifications, either enter an email address or use the https://pushover.net service (Android, iOS, PC) and enter your pushover user key in the config.txt.
Beside this nice feature, a handful of miners have been updated to the newest versions, including Xmrstak/Fireice, Xmrig, Bminer and TTminer. Also, I invested some time to cleanup the CPU miners and discovered some pretty interesting new candidates; have a look at Rhminer and nanominer and mine some PASC on F2pool or Nanopool. It's pretty profitable, right now.

Happy mining!

Hi!

How can I setup RM to mine SWAP?

Thx!
