[ANN] RainbowMiner v4.8.9.9 most profitable and versatile multipool mining

[rainbowminer]

Hi!

How can I setup RM to mine SWAP?

Thx!

- choose a pool for XWP mining (CryptoKnight, Fairpool, Herominers, Luckypool, PocketWhale)
- either use the build-in configuration to add XWP address to that pool or edit pools.config.txt and enter "XWP": "yourswapwalletaddresshere",
- make sure that Cuckaroo29s is on the "Algorithm" list in config.txt (or clear that list for all algorithms)
- make sure the selected pool is on the "PoolName" list in config.txt
- make sure the selected pool is not on the "ExcludePoolName" list in config.txt (or clear that list. It's not necessarily needed)

There is almost no day without an updated miner, currently. At the moment, there is a strong trend towards additional CPU mining, since more and more projects try to create ASIC resistant algorithms. Therefor I took great care to add and update the most important CPU miners for this release.
Also, Phoenix has updated to 4.2c, with improved Ethereum mining and Bminer vs. Gminer are in a Cuckaroo29 battle.

Happy mining!

It's time for an update Many prominent miners have been updated, including Gminer, XmrStak and CryptoDredge, also we have an interesting addition: NBminer v22.3 joins our Cuckaroo-force. It's now the third miner that has officially added Cuckaroo29s to mine Swap/XWP.
To make it much more easy to start mining special coins (like e.g. XWP Swap), right out of the box, I have reworked our setup wizard.
Also, a very new feature "PostBlockMining" has been added to furthermore improve your profitability by catching blocks-in-a-row on many pools.

Happy mining!

Whenever I run the Miner the console's colours are changing to a pink background with yellow letters, is this caused by your code or is there something else wrong?

Even though I've reset the colours to black+white, they'll turn back to weird once I restart the miner.
It wasn't like that in the previous versions.

Sorry for that. Yes, there was an color-incompatibility on some systems. I have cleared this in the current release:


The new release v4.3.1.7 is available at github. Again, many miners have been updated to their current versions. And, surprise, Claymore is back with an update to it's Ethash miner. Also, we closely follow the develpment in ProgPow alike algorithms and add miners for all of them, at the moment we learn about them. There is little news on the pool front, everything runs stable at the moment.
We have been reworking tons of things in the RainbowMiner core. Especially to furthermore improve Linux support and make life easier. For that reason, we added nice setup and install scripts. Setup scripts allow to run the build-in configuration in a separate command window. That's great news for all Linux users, that run RainbowMiner as background job. Another new feature is the ability to share configurations in a client/server configuration. Take over the control of your mining rig farm by simply reuse the server's configuration. You may even create config files for specific clients in your network.

That leaves me to wish you happy mining!

The program work very well but i can't just find the command for change the profit percentage on the best algo.
 it's possible to continue mining on a coin even if at the moment another is a higher price if the latter does not exceed the 5% example ?
 All this for avoid continuous switching

[Goodvalony]

Mining cryptocurrency has been a side attraction for me and am in interested to run it. unfortunately i have no equipment. i was wondering if it is possible to mine with laptop. a window 7, intel 5 , 4 GB Ram . will be convenient to do so please.

You can end up burning it down. Not really worth it IMHO. If you want to get the feel of mining and learn something new, buy an old PC with something silly like Celeron, second hand GPU (RX 570/580 4GB) and try to mine cryptonight like Monero.

[rainbowminer]

Another month has past and I put a lot of effort into RainbowMiner, again. Almost all major miners have been upgraded to newer versions and the CPU miners got a major cleanup plus more CPU miners for linux have been added.
New pools: SuprNova (finally!), UUpool (mainly to provide VDS/Vdollar mining) and CoinFoundry (BCD mining with high volume).
New currencies and algorithms: EquihashVds, Equihash 125,4, X25X (SIN, former SUQA) and HoneyComb
New features:
- Postblockmining has got a new parameter "MinProfitPercent" to furthermore increase profits
- client/server config file sharing has been optimized
- a list (live updated) for unprofitable algorithms is now in place
- and many more to discover

So, back to work and happy mining, to you!

[rainbowminer]

The hot summer period did not stop the miners to be updated at a pretty hot frequency. Some very interesting forks happend, like WOW forked to new RandomX and LOKI forked to new RandomXL and GRIN forked to Cuckarood29 algorithms. Plus new EquihashVds algorithm popped up for very profitable VDOLLAR mining. Of course, RainbowMiner provides suitable miners and pools for mining those.
Nicehash has started their new platform V2 - since they are currently running both platforms, the old and the new one, in parallel, we decided to add NiceHashV2 as extra pool. Now RainbowMiner can decide which platform pays off more profit, all the time.
And, finally, many many miners have been updated to the brandnew versions, like Bminer, NBminer, Gminer, SrbMiner and more.

So, happy mining!

[rainbowminer]

This summer, I have been pretty busy improving RainbowMiner, by adding more and more features: the RainbowMiner users keep on having brilliant ideas for more and keep on posting these on github. We have hard times to catch up with all these good ideas But we love the challenge.

Multiple miners have been updated, so that RainbowMiner can deal with most, if not all, of the promising new PoW coins on the market, like CKB, TCR, the new RVN algorithm and the upcoming XMR, using RandomX. It looks like, the focus is slightly shifting towards CPU mining, currently, so I decided to add the RPlant pool. Also, one user proposed Luxor pool - a pretty interesting pool with hand picked algorithm and optional autoexchange to BTC.

At the core, RainbowMiner got some pretty awesome new screws to adjust:
"EnableHeatMyFlat" : use your mining rig as heater, it will prefer miners, that run hotter. Adjustable in 10 steps.
"MaxActivityDays" : the length of the often used Activity page at the miners Dashboard can now be adjusted
"PowerOffsetPercent" : for more exact power efficiency calculation, a percentual power offset can be added (adding to an absolute "PowerOffset")

Under the hood, multiple upgrades have been integrated, things like earning tracking, automatic price adjustments according to the honesty of the pool APIs, more overclocking presets, speed optimizations, automatic miner API port adjustments.

.. and much more.

So long, be happy and enjoy mining!

damn dude nice, you been working haha. i forgot about this great AIO miner i admit
theres not many that support AMD so i always like to play with the ones that do
gonna check this out today ill let you know here if i find any issues (or GitHub report them i shall)

[maav]

I like your miner, I'm doing the benchmarks but I would like to have a pool that has autoexchange: https://fairpool.pro

[rainbowminer]

We did welcome 2020 with the addition of a handful of pretty interesting new pools, like the famous and large chinese BeePool, the CpuPool for mining cpu coins, the pools BtcPrivate, Leafpool, Luckpool, Poolin, Poolium, MiningPoolOvh and finally the Monero autoexchange pool MoneroOcean. Most pools have been added due to user requests - so, if you really really miss a pool in our portfolio, just drop an issue with your request at our https://github.com/rainbowminer/RainbowMiner
Of course, all other pools are being continuously updated, so that all the offered mining opportunities show up in RainbowMiner within no time.

The changes and fixes to the core of RainbowMiner are numerous, so I will only highlight a few of them. Have a look at the changelog below, if you are interested.
We added "EnableRestartComputer" and "RestartComputerHours", so that you have the possibility to automatically restart your rig, after a fixed runtime. Another useful addition, are the newly added parameters "Algorithm", "ExcludeAlgorithm", "CoinSymbol" and "ExcludeCoinSymbol", to our scheduler. It's now possible to specify, what to mine during specific times of the day.
The current release now contains live ethdagsizes, to avoid out of memory errors, if a DAG size finally reaches your GPU's memory size.

.. and much more.

Enjoy mining 2020!

[rainbowminer]

In the past weeks, we had the focus on three major tasks.
1 - we finally managed to get overclocking Nvidia GPUs working on Linux systems
2 - we added Handshake/HNS miners and pool 6Block
3 - since the Eth DAG size now is too big to handle for 4GB GPUs (on Windows 10), we reworked the VRAM checks to reflect this.

.. plus many miners have updated their executables. Have a look at NBminer: it now manages to mine Ethash and Handshake in dual mining mode. Nice!

Happy mining,

RainbowMiner

Hi, does this support multi algo mining with mph?

[rainbowminer]

Hi, does this support multi algo mining with mph?

Of course. Miningpoolhub is integrated. RainbowMiner even supports the MPH API, so that you can easily monitor your balance.

[astronyu]

Thanks for the reply, that means I can change my wallet address to use Eth instead of BTC correct?

Code:

"MiningPoolHub": {
    "ETH": "<ETH_ADDRESS>",
    "Worker": "$WorkerName",
    "Penalty": "0"
}

Also, I still can't figure out how to setup the miner to mine on nicehash.

    "Worker": "$WorkerName",
    "Penalty": "0"
}

You will need you MiningPoolHub username, not your mining address. If you autoexchange to ETH, your config would look like this:

Code:

"MiningPoolHub": {
    "User": "<your mph username>",
    "API_ID": "<your mph API ID>",
    "API_Key": "<your mph API Key>",
    "AECurrency": "ETH",
...
}

.. no need to set "BTC", "ETH" or else, for this pool.

To be able to mine Nicehash, register an account with them and find out your BTC mining address. Put this to "BTC" field in pools.config.txt:

Code:

"Nicehash": {
    "BTC": "<your nicehash BTC mining address>",
...
}

Finally - make sure MiningPoolHub and Nicehash are on your "PoolName" list in config.txt

Code:

  "PoolName": "MiningPoolHub,Nicehash",
