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

[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.

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",

I see, so the BTC address I have in the config will be just for other pool's usage where MPH will use the settings I have in their pool for autoexchange as long as I set AExchange to my currency. Thanks.

Hi, in regards to setup MRR.

Code:

2. Setup Rainbowminer

    add "MiningRigRentals" to the PoolName list and make sure it is not in the ExcludePoolName list (config.txt or [C]onfiguration->[S]elections)

    edit "Config\pools.config.txt", find the MiningRigRentals section and add (API_Secret, User) or edit the following data:

    "API_Key": "", "API_Secret": "", "User": "", "Worker": "", "EnableMining": "0",

[b]All rigs will be automatically set to status "online", at MiningRigRentals and rest idle within RainbowMiner.[/b] If someone starts a rental, RainbowMiner will detect this and run the respective miner exclusively, until the rental ends. All other rigs on MiningRigRentals will be deactivated, for that time.

If you want to include MiningRigRentals into RainbowMiner's profitability checks and switching operation, so that it behaves just like a normal pool, set "EnableMining" to "1". Only do this, if MiningRigRentals is your only pool, because the mining prices (these are the prices setup at MiningRigRentals), will not reflect the real market prices.

I have all of these setup "API_Key": "", "API_Secret": "", "User": "", "Worker": "", "EnableMining": "0"
but I did not see my rig became online in MRR after setting it up on RBMiner though, does RBMiner setup the algo of the rig on MRR or I need to setup it manually?

Great software.

Just want to say that I've been using this miner for few weeks now and I'm very happy with how it performs and how the dev response to questions.
I mine mostly at MPH, NH, 6Block and also list out the rig on MRR.

[rainbowminer]

I hope you are all healthy and still in good mood. Being locked-in does not stop us from mining nor from keeping RainbowMiner uptodate, so here are some highlights, coming with the new release v4.5.5.2: all major miners got an update, especially, TTminer, Gminer (and soon Trex) will support the new KawPOW!! Ravencoin algorithm. RainbowMiner is setup to switch to the new RVN mining algorithm on 6th May automatically, so you don't need to care. Three new pools made it to our inventory: 6Block, Equipool and Solopool. Finally, we put lot's of effort into the linux version of RainbowMiner, many fixes and updates have been implemented.

Happy mining,

RainbowMiner

[rainbowminer]

This release comes with some breaking news! We finally managed to fully integrate MiningRigRentals.com: it has never been easier to rent out your rig. Just activate MiningRigRentals, set your API credentials and RainbowMiner will take care of the rest. Rigs will be created and updated at MRR completely automatic.

KawPOW has arrived in our systems, we welcome three new pools to our ever growing collection (Ravepool and Sunpool for GRIMM mining, and Hellominer). We updated many major and minor miners, including devfee free Xmrig 6.0.1 beta, Phoenix, Trex, Gminer and many more. TTminer has been updated to v5.0.2 runs with 0% developer fee, now.

Our RainbowMiner localhost webinterface grows, especially the online setup page has evolved a lot.

Happy mining!

Wow, what a year!

The past 6 months have
a) shown, that crypto is really going main stream
b) proven, it's still very profitable to let your GPUs and CPUs mine for you
c) not decreased my workload a bit.

I have continuously updated all integrated miners to their most current versions, even some new miner programs have arrived. One very promising candidate is for sure the Verthash miner v0.6.2 - it brings old GPUs with small memory to new life and profitability. This is especially good, because Ethereum's DAG size is now way beyond the 4GB.

Thanks to our active RainbowMiner community on https://github.com/rainbowminer/RainbowMiner and on https://discord.gg/DUJqjfk4, I was able to keep up with the ever changing pool APIs. Most of our integrated pools got their updates in time. Just have look at the changlog, below ;-)

Finally, I have heavily improved the Linux compatibility and implemented tons of good enhancement. Again, credits go to our community, that don't stop with superb ideas.

Happy mining!

Curious to know more about how the MRR setup works.

If I have MRR and another pool selected, will the system know to use the other pool as the "non rental pool" on my rigs to mine on when they are not rented at MRR??

Of course - your rig will mine away on all selected non-rental pools. As soon as a renter picks your rig on MRR, RainbowMiner will switch over to the rental. At the end of the rental, normal mining will resume.

The brand new release v4.7.0.2 is out. The past weeks, lots of lots of changes in the multiple pools kept me busy, as well as a bunch of interesting miner updates, that needed integration. If you are a Binance user and have a lot of wallets with them, you now have the possibility to add API data to RainbowMiner. All your wallets will then magically appear. Lastly, finally, after some pretty long nights of work, I managed to get rid of an annoying Powershell bug: some rigs would simply stop updating the pool and currency data randomly, because Powershell's HttpClient crashed. We now have cURL as replacement at hands. So if you happen to have that problem in the future, just switch to cURL.

So long. Happy mining!

[rainbowminer]

We have some exciting new additions to our pool repertoire: Ezil.me, which allows for dual mining of ZIL and ETH/ETC, then the autoexchange pool ProHashing.com, which claims to be the "The most trusted and profitable cryptocurrency mining pool". And finally unMineable, which makes it possible to mine coins, that aren't mineable, like TRX or BTT and many others. You send them Ethash, KawPow or RandomX hashrate and in return you get these coins.
Beside this, most of the major miner developers have updated their product, as well. We have all the updates, always quick and in-time.
Some new parameters and updates have been added to the RainbowMiner core, plus, we have fixed some smaller bugs-n-glitches, thanks to our growing community for finding and reporting these.

Happy mining!

[rainbowminer]

Many miners have been updated. Notably, xmrig has added support for Uplexa (cn/upx2) algorithm and Teamred now mines verthash, too. Most of the other miners fixed bugs, lowered CPU usage and improved hashrates. On the pool side, we say bye-bye to Blazepool, since it seems to be offline since some time. What we really came to love are unMineable pool (mining for coins, that cannot be mined) and ProHashing (autoexchange to many coins with unique pay-per-share). SuprNova has added optical bitcoin (OBTC).
Our core software got some enhancements, optimizations and bugfixes (again many thanks to our community!). Plus, the linux release now comes with a set of cuda 11.3 libraries.

With this update, we update four miners - basically optimizing LHR unlocking for Ethash, plus improving KawPow. I would like to highlight the new Teamblack miner. It's recent update to v1.03 improved the miner's performance and fixed a good handful of bugs. sp_ gave us a truly fast Ethash/Etchash miner at hand.

Happy Mining!

Updates, included in all releases up to v4.7.4.3:

[rainbowminer]

This update mainly brings our most important miners up to speed. This is especially true for the newly added Teamblack miner (written bei sp_), which turned out to be a real speedster regarding Ethash/Etchash mining. As you can see on our monitoring page, this miner is already running on more than 8% of all rbminer.net - connected rigs worldwide. RainbowMiner is currently the only profit switcher, that has this miner integrated and running for it's users. As promised, I'll stay on top with the updates.
More miners got a recent update (mostly to boost the Nvidia 30xx LHR cards): Gminer, Lolminer, Nanominer, NBminer, Trex and Wildrig. Xmrig has been updated with the newest CUDA plugin v6.15.1, which finally solves the "out of memory" error on non-CryptoNight algorithms.
And finally, PowerShell Core has been updated to v7.1.4.

So long, happy mining!

Say welcome to the brand-new RainbowMiner release v4.7.6.6 - on our list are tons up updates, upgrades and also some bugfixes.
Almost all major miners have got an update, most notably the Ethash-speedster Teamblack, which now comes in v1.19. Almost all bigger miner projects have implemented the FIRO hardfork algorithm FiroPow, which will kick in within the next 24 hours.
We have added Crazypool, KuCoin, Minerpool and a special 2Miners-autoexchange module, with Ethash mining only and autoexchange to BTC or NANO.
The list of upgrades and bugfixes is loooong, so let me highlight only a few: complete rework of the HttpClient base class to finally get rid of Window's port exhaustion problem, complete rework of the proxy handling, multiple nice new parameters in config.txt, pools.config.txt and scheduler.config.txt.

Again - many thanks to our community for their enhancement ideas, issues, help and support.

Happy mining!

[rainbowminer]

After a couple of very turbulent weeks, with very high highs and some bitter lows regarding the BTC price, we proudly announce our new RainbowMiner release v4.7.8.8. Most major miners have been updated and three miners have been added: the opensource FIRO miners and the closed source RTM miner CpuminerWyvern. Notably is, that some of the ETH miners now supply LHR unlocking. Of course we implemented LHR detection into our RainbowMiner core, so that we can switch on these miner's unlocking mechanism automatically.
Since the Ghostrider/Take2 algorithm mining that RTM coin became quit profitable, we decided to add two new RTM-only pools, the Flockpool and the Minafacil pool. Also brand new: a simple switch allows to lower the ZergPool's fee from 0.5% to 0.3%: just set "ReduceZergPoolFee" to "1" in config.txt and RainbowMiner will refer your rig to ZergPool thus decreasing the fee automatically. That's a price reduction of 40%.

Our core code has got some big additions and reworks:

• all solo mining pools are now enhanced by time-to-find, difficulty and a new profitability scheme
• overclocking Nvidia GPUs includes locking of core and memory clock, now
• proxy usage has been reworked
• the webinterface includes setup pages for pools and coins
• the webinterface includes a JSON editor for all config files

... and many more fixes, additions and updates. Just have a look at our changelog.

Happy mining!

[rainbowminer]

This release of RainbowMiner finally brings back dual-mining support. Even though that the times of Ethash as PoW are counted, it's currently most profitable to do some dual-mining with it, on your GPUs. Especially mining for ETH + some TON looks very promising. The up-to-date versions of Gminer and Lolminer give us all the tools we need - and of course RainbowMiner fully supports the dual mining, including individual intensities and even dual mining during times, when you rig is being rented out at MiningRigRentals, giving you some extra profit.
Many more miners have been updated, most notably, we have integrated the Neoscrypt-Xaya algorithm into the newest CcminerKlausT release. Teamblack supports more pools. And so many more. Have a look onto our list below.
Our pool modules have gotten a lot of rework and fixes - with most pools now supporting real privacy with SSL stratum connections, ZergPool, Zpool and MiningRigRentals included. A handful of now offline pools have been removed from our repo, but also, some new pools have been added (ViaBTC, Tonpool, ToncoinPool, TONWhales, ...)
Finally, and as always, we have done a lot of work to our core program. New parameters, better fastlane-benchmarking, bugfixes, ...

Happy mining!

• add parameter "Price_0" to pool objects (contains the raw price from the pools/WTM)
• store DataWindow as of type string into session config
• update API
• update Powershell Core to v7.2.2
• optimize usage of fastlane values: if a fl value is very far off of the current miner's hashrate, the statfile will be reset with the local value (discussion #2007)
• allow valid keys in API.CmdKey, only
• add parameter "EnableDualMiningDuringRentals" to config.txt:
• update README.md
• update Curl for Windows to v7.82.0
• update linux CUDA libs
• remove parameter for log level Info, since it's default.
• do not pause mining, if a worker is currently in exclusive mode (rented by MiningRigRentals, issue #1983). This affects the currently rented worker, only. So if you have CPU and/or multiple GPU models,
   only the currently rented out models (or your CPU) keeps on running, all others stay paused.
• rework Intensity setting in miners.config.txt for dual mining. Enter a list of all intensities, that should be benchmarked on specific device-miner combinations. Only Gminer and Teamred support this se
  tting, currently. Gminer has valid integer values from 1 to 100 (where only 2-40 make sense) and Teamred has valid floating point number values from 0.01 to 1.00 (where only 0.6-0.95 make sense)
