Hello, can I ask which tool do I have to use in order to copy the image to a Sata HDD? I have used HDD Raw Copy Tool but when I start the HDD in the rig I get this message and it hangs:

Scanning for btrfs filesystems
MMP_base: clean, 61027/244320 files, 607975/980731 blocks.

Hello,
We recommend usage of etcher because it can write image without uncompressing it first but after being uncompressed it can be written with hdd raw copy too.
From what I see you are already booting the system but amdgpufb can't switch because your monitor doesn't support native resolution switching, as a workaround you can use built-in GPU or boot headless with autoconf.txt placed in small exfat partition. I will update first post with additional qucik FAQ.

Yes I am booting from an old 1366 Asus motherboard with no built in GPU as a Vega test bench. I have uncrompressed the image with 7z and then I have used HDD Raw Copy to copy the image file to the HDD. I have another motherboard but is an old 775 with built in GPU (G41 Chipset). It is preferable to use the 775 with built in GPU instead of the 1366 one?

All AMD hardware after Polaris need displaycore enabled to boot in gfx environment, due to Vega being superior ASIC you can boot headless as an option. It will boot properly without any display attached. We have disabled Displaycore support because otherwise the first GPU that has attached monitor will suffer some hash loss. But if needed it will be returned in image.
Please try booting headless with autoconf.txt inside small exfat partition.

Awesome work you guys are doing keep it up

Hello, I have sucessfully booted headless with the autoconf.txt in the small partition. Is there any tutorial for configuring the system for Team Red Miner and Vegas for use them with Monero? Since I have not found so much information regarding Monero pools, etc.

Great! From now on you can do all from your dashboard. Usually starting from right->left for initial configuration.
Add your wallet, Add pool(mind that different pools have different configurations for username), Add miner profile for XMR(we recommend using teamredminer) and finally assign your rig the miner profile you've created.
Can give you example for xmrpool.eu pool:
Select monero coin(XMR), select your XMR wallet
pool host: xmrpool.eu
pool port: 9999
ssl enabled: yes
In username section when creating pool write this

%wallet_address%.%rig_name%+50000

Last line is static diff sent to pool.

In miner profiles advanced settings leave default or use --cn_config from known good working configuration(else ssh to rig and run benchmark first).
You can also add additional line in advanced settings "--watchdog_script /opt/mmp/sbin/" to enable automatic reboot on GPU failure.

For more instructions I advise you to join our discord or telegram channels.
Thank you for choosing MMP OS

Added nanominer support for windows and linux - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5089248.0

[laik2]

# 25. September 2019 Update agent + dashboard

This update is a big one, we now support running multiple miner instances per platform (Nvidia, AMD and SQRL Acorn's).
So currently you can run up to 3 miners in parallel.

If you mine with multiple miner instances to the same pool, we recommend to add %miner_id% to your pool username.
It will suffix the username if miner instance is > 0 (so first miner will be rigname, second one rigname1)

Next step will be supporting CPU mining.

* Updated agent to 2.8.0
* Added multi-miner support to dashboard and agent
* Agent no longer queries fpgas for info. Every stat will now be gathered via miner.
* Added native ninjarig protocol support
* Added multiple new amd gpu and memory types to detection
* WIN: Now also supporting the "automatic mode" to add a new rig
* WIN: Added voltage display support for recent nvidia cards

[laik2]

# 02. November 2019 Update agent + dashboard

This update introduces CPU mining. Similiar to multi-miner support, just add a cpu profile and start mining.
As with GPUs we provide metrics like Temperature and Voltage for recent CPUs as well.

* Updated agent to 2.8.1
* Added CPU worker support to agent and dashboard
* Added native xmrig protocol support
* Optimized AMD memory detection. (Navi and others are supported too)
* Fixed Hawaii and Fiji memory overclocking bug

[laik2]

# 08. November 2019 Update agent and experimental variant

This update makes AMD Navi cards fully supported if you use the experimental variant of mmpOS.
Navi is still not supported by all miners but you are now able to mine and overclock if you have compatible miner and switch to the experimental variant.

* Update agent to 2.8.3
* Support for Overclocking and voltage control of AMD Navi(RX 5500/5700) cards.

# 07. November 2019 Update agent

* Update agent to 2.8.2
* Optimized miner download verification (ensure hashfile is valid)
* Improved startup with unsupported GPUs, we now allow startup after a 60second retry phase even if detected pci devices do not match driver reported ones.

are you guys gonna support randomx?

[laik2]

are you guys gonna support randomx?

We already do. A few hours before the fork we will switch arguments line in advanced miner settings for xmrig from cn/r to rx/0, same goes for xmr-stak-rx.
RandomX was introduced with our CPU mining support a few weeks ago. You are welcome in our discord/telegram channels if you have any problems setting it up.

[laik2]

# 30. November 2019 Update agent

With this release we introduce a completely new mining experience for your AMD RX Vega56/64 GPUs.

We created a special smart tune algorithm option called *compute heavy*, which reduces power usage without hashrate penalty for compute heavy algos like MTP, CNGPU, x16r/t/v2, x21, x22i, x25x and Lyra2RE.

Everything we do is driven towards success of our not so big community. We have put a lot of effort creating these features, so users save power and enjoy profitable mining again.
So, MMP OS community, **Thank you for staying with us and believing in us!** We will do our best to keep the pace in MMP OS development process.

We would like to say **Thank you** to teamredminer (https://github.com/todxx/teamredminer) developers(todxx and Kerney666) and their awesome community for creating their amazing miner and helping us become better!

We would also like to say **Thank you** to lolMiner (https://github.com/Lolliedieb/lolMiner-releases) developer Lolliedieb for his outstanding work and contribution to the mining community.

* Updated agent to 2.8.4
* Improved memory based smart tune for AMD and Nvidia
* MMPOS: added compute heavy smart tune for AMD Vega56/64
* MMPOS: optimized power usage for AMD Vega56/64

*Note that you can always test medium and high tune factors on ethash and cuckoo agorithms, but for MTP we do not recommend using medium/high preset on Compute Heavy algorithm


Recommended miners for popular coins per platform:

NVIDIA:
Ethereum(ETH+ETC)  and forks -> ethminer by ethereum mining community(recommended by us), TT-Miner and gminer
GRIN29 -> gminer, nbminer and bminer
GRIN31 -> gminer, nbminer and bminer
BEAM -> gminer and miniZ
RVN -> t-rex and zenemy
ZCOIN -> TT-Miner(recommended by us), ccminer-mtp and t-rex


AMD:
Ethereum(ETH+ETC) and forks -> teamredminer(recommended by us) and ethminer
Cryptonote coins -> teamredminer(recommended by us), xmrig and xmr-stak.
GRIN29 -> teamredminer and lolMiner(both recommended by us)
GRIN31 -> teamredminer and lolMiner(both recommended by us)
BEAM -> lolMiner(recommended by us)
RVN -> teamredminer(recommended by us) and wildrig-multi
ZCOIN -> teamredminer(recommended by us), sgminer-fancyX and wildrig-multi

CPU:
Only suitable algorithm for now is RandomX which is currently supported on our platform by xmrig and xmr-stak-rx.
We support cpuminer-opt which has too many coins support but none of them is profitable by only CPU mining.

Disclamer: Some of recommended miners by us may not be the fastest but the developers behind them had proven trustworthy and we support them and their work.
Our personal recommendation should not be considered mandatory! You are free to use whatever miner you find best for your needs!


If you have found something better or more efficient, or performance wise, please do share your settings with us, we will really appreciate it!
Thank you!

Hi,

I flashed this into a 120GB SSD using Rufus and ended up with only about 10GB used and the other 110GB being un-allocated. Is there a way expand the OS into the remaining space?
I am looking to mine ETH on my Vegas and my understanding is that it benefits immensely from having large pages, hence why using the extra space would be nice.

Thank you.
