Hi poliminer1,

your miner support API? I can use it with Awesome Miner?

Thanks

It has api, but awesomeminer don´t support this api for now. You must ask Patrike from Awesomeminer if he support rhminer. If many people ask, he add the software. I ask for this 2 month ago.

I could extend the api. For now it's just a simple web query returning general mining status.

If enough peoples want it I'll do it.

I invite you both to the discord channel to discuss that and vote for it !

Please polyminer1 extend your api that we can use ethman to monitor. When ethman can monitor it, then awesomeminer can do it also. PLEASE!!!!!

  nice dude, i waiting for the new version.

Support at its best.

@all The new version is out.
Version 1.5 - EthMan support and PascalCoin ScreenSaver

* Added ETHman and AwesomeMiner support (miner_getstat1, miner_restart, miner_reboot, miner_file, control_gpu)
  It is strongly recommented to NOT put rhminer in a loop in a script if you intend to use EthMan or AwseomeMiner.
  The restart option will close the instance and restart a new one. So if rhminer is in a loop, it will start another new instance everytime.
* Added Pascal Coin ScreenSaver V1.0 - Windows
* Now starting rhminer without parametres will automatically use config.txt.
* Added support Maxwell architecture 5.3 (Tegra Tegra (Jetson) TX1 / Tegra X1) on windows
* Re-added Pascal architecture 6.0 (Quadro GP100, Tesla P100, DGX-1) that was mistakenly removed in 1.4
* Re-added Pascal architecture 6.2 ( Integrated GPU on the NVIDIA Drive PX2, Tegra (Jetson) TX2) that was mistakenly removed in 1.4

If you did not know, I made a PascalCoin Screensaver that mine in the background while... saving the screen.
Here is a nice article about it, written by @joelagbo https://steemit.com/technology/@joelagbo/the-pascal-coin-screensaver-keep-the-screen-alive-and-colorful-while-you-mine-your-gems-d98ba8e0e97c5

PascalCoin has started trading in qtrade.io - an exchange that list original development coins.

@all New version 1.5.1 is out

GTX 20xx support, Cuda 10.1 and some bug fixes

* Support for CUDA 10.1 with drivers 419.x(Windows) and 418.x(Linux)
* Added suppot for Nvidia Turing architecture (GTX 20xx) Untested.
* Fixed : Cannot Disable gpu mining when using config.txt with gpu binaries.
  Now you can simply empty the value of "gpu" and "gputhreads" to disable gpu mining on gpu binaries. Ex: "gpu":"" and "gputhreads":""
* Little performance boost on linux binaries (CPU and GPU)
* Added missing screensaver source files
* change line ending in many files

Version 1.5.3 - MacOS support and binaries, Reduced duplicate shares to zero, Cpu throttling option and remote api fixes
* Added MacOS support and binaries. (Tested on High Sierra and El Capitan)
* Added internal cpu throttling option to slow down mining.
* Fixed: Duplicate shares when pool mining.
* Fixed: EthMan API : sent config.txt was ignored when restarting miner on Linux.

Question.  Does this release [1.5.3] support randomhash2.  What I mean is it ready for the HF v5?

Thx...

[2h4u]

-processpriority      On windows only. Set miner's process priority.
                        0=Background Process, 1=Low Priority, 2=Normal Priority, 3=High Priority.
                        Default is 3.

I tried to run rhminer with -processpriority 1 and noted that Task Manager does list rhminer as "Below Normal" prio. I found my Core I3 desktop somewhat laggy at that prio. I had to change prio to Low--manually--and it was good. Like FullHD playback without a hitch.

Dear @polyminer1, would you like to change processpriority option to be more accurate? Like 1=REAL Low Priority, not that Below Normal?

The way Windows prioritizes programs is a mess.
My opinion.  @polyminer1 is probably aware of that.

No slowdowns on Linux here while using the computer.

HR drops when watching youtube in HD and using the computer, but no slowdowns.

I am running of off cellular data.  No high speed internet where I am.

HR drops when watching youtube in HD and using the computer, but no slowdowns.

Youtube's HD has a ridiculously toy bitrate of 1.5-4Mbps. I have no prob with that. But FullHD I spoke of is a BDRemux with 50Mbps bitrate. Like 15-35 times bitrate of yours.

Anyway, it's not about youtube or linux. The question is: relevance. "Low" should be like IDLE_PRIORITY_CLASS, not like BELOW_NORMAL_PRIORITY_CLASS. Idle thread is processed by the scheduler only when the system is idle and do not interfere with any upper priority threads. Below Normal thread, on the contrary, may interfere with Normal threads, especially when no user interaction is taken place.

Add support for GTX1660.

Could you explain how to run this miner on MacOS?

[tlaskows]

Could you explain how to run this miner on MacOS?

I'm not the dev of this miner.

But I could not get it to run on macos.  I had an old MacBooks with old version.  Tiger, maybe Sierra.

The libraries were outdated.  Compiling from source was the only option, so I installed a different OS on that Mac then it ran fine.

You can use virtualization with hyperv extension enabled and run it in windows or Linux on top of macos.

Will try it out.  Currently using nanominer.  It boils my CPUs and the fees are a bit high.

Thanks!

Kali Linux binaries?  (kernel 5.3).

* EDIT:  I changed over.  Running on the open pool.  No issues.  6 hours average rate will have to ramp up (different config file with different worker names).

I still had 1.5.3v backup one those CPUs. 

Thank you.

Cheers.
