SRBMiner-MULTI AMD & NVIDIA & INTEL & CPU miner

[VasilyS]

Latest release is a good solution for Handshake mining. RX580 gives about 140-150 mh/s. If HNS coin will have such a price next days it will be favourite crypto for miners.

[doktor83]

V0.3.5
+ Added 'cryptonight_bbc' algorithm (BigBangCore) - DevFee 2.5%
+ Lowered devfee for 'bl2bsha3' to 2%
+ Some gpu's might get a tiny hashrate increase on 'bl2bsha3'
+ Gpu sensors now available in Linux
+ --adl-disable parameter now available in Linux
+ --shutdown-temperature parameter (shutdown_temperature in config) now available in Linux
+ --gpu-off-temperature parameter (off_temperature in config) now available in Linux
+ Removed option to set difficulty for 'bl2bsha3' in password field
+ Removed notification for 6block stratum compatibility
+ Possibly fixed a bug where miner shows it's hashing (always shows exactly same hashrate), but gpu's are stalled

Is "Large Pages" L2 or L3 cache?

V0.3.6
+ 'cryptonight_bbc' algorithm updated (active from block 133060)
+ Added '--enable-opencl-cleanup' parameter to enable OpenCL resources freeing on miner exit/restart (default is disabled because it can hang miner if driver crashed)

- BigBangCore changed algorithm again, and this time it is much better on GPU. To be able to mine it you need to have a verified wallet on their official pool ( http://bbc01.bbcpool.io/ )

Hi, what about my question? ^^

@doktor83

Hi, what about my question? ^^

Oh, a little googling could help you there, but let me answer then : large (or huge) pages is neither L2 or L3 cache.
When you download SRBMiner for windows theres a folder 'Docs' where you can find Enable-Huge-Pages.txt file, which explains how you can enable large pages on windows.

[doktor83]

Here's a video tutorial on how to mine Scala XLA with SRBMiner.
It is 3x profitable than mining it with the official miner.

Yes, i know how to enable huge pages. My question was about this debug output:

Last line means SRBMiner can work with huge pages only on AMD Zen platform?

It just means that Windows could not allocate 2+ GB in large page area , so basically a computer restart solves this

[BoozyTalking]

No, restart not solve the problem. This error at least few months old =)

V0.3.7
+ 'kadena' algorithm huge hashrate increase
+ Added 'gpu_' prefix to GPU related parameters in config file : gpu_intensity, gpu_raw_intensity, gpu_worksize, gpu_threads, gpu_tweak_profile, gpu_target_temperature, gpu_shutdown_temperature, gpu_off_temperature. 'gpu_conf' parameters naming stays the same.
+ Added new parameters in config file : cpu_threads, cpu_affinity, cpu_priority
+ Renamed 'pool_use_tls' in pool configuration file to 'tls'

- Kadena algo is now again profitable to mine with GPU (at least for some time), so try it out!

- From this version i added the gpu_ prefix to all parameters in configuration file that are related to GPU, and used outside gpu_conf. Parameters inside 'gpu_conf' stayed the same.

- Also added possibility to set basic CPU parameters in configuration file ( cpu_threads, cpu_affinity, cpu_priority )

Do we have some numbers for kadena?
Rx570 or vega 56/64
Unfortunately not able to test for a few days

[doktor83]

V0.3.8
+ Hashrate increased even more on 'kadena' algorithm, and at the same time lowered power usage
+ Small hashrate increase on 'yescrypt' CPU algorithms
+ Minor bug fixes

[doktor83]

Very core clock dependent, but you should get around 6.4 - 6.5 Ghs on Vega64 for example

[doktor83]

V0.3.9

+ Miner now works on older linux distributions ( Ubuntu 16.04 - glibc2.23 )
+ Small hashrate increase on 'cryptonight_bbc' algorithm for some GPU's
+ Yescrypt algorithms hashrate increase on CPU if miner run with administrator/root privilege
+ Fixed GPU sensors reading on Linux
+ Fixed a bug that sometimes stopped hashing when connected to the pool after a long reconnect period
+ Renamed '--disable-randomx-tweaks' parameter to '--disable-msr-tweaks', '--disable-tweaking' to '--disable-gpu-tweaking', and '--randomx-use-tweaks' to '--msr-use-tweaks'
+ Minor bug fixes

[doktor83]

V0.4.0

+ Added algorithm 'randomkeva' (Keva coin upcoming algorithm)
+ Added Navi support for 'cryptonight_bbc' algorithm
+ Much better auto setup for RX 4xx/5xx 8G cards on 'cryptonight_bbc' algorithm

[focuslight514]

Can v0.4.0 support Navi 5700xt ?

[doktor83]

V0.4.1

+ Added CPU algorithm 'minotaur' (Ring coin)
+ Added CPU algorithm 'yespowerres' (Resistance coin)
+ 2-4% faster 'cryptonight_bbc' on some GPU's
+ Minor bug fixes

Also added 2 new video tutorials:

How to mine Ring coin
How to mine Resistance coin

[doktor83]

V0.4.2

+ Improvements for 4G Ellesmere cards on 'cryptonight_bbc' algorithm
+ Small improvements on 'yespower' CPU algorithms
+ Added parameters 'disable_cpu' and 'disable_gpu' in configuration file
+ Fixed 'handshake' algorithm mining on nicehash
+ Algoswitching now reconnects back to main pool when it gets available
+ Minor bug fixes

[doktor83]

V0.4.3

+ Added 'tellor' algorithm (trb.uupool.cn compatible stratum)
+ Improvements on 'minotaur' algorithm
+ Guided setup fixed & simplified

- Added 'tellor' (TRB) algorithm for uupool.cn compatible stratum pools. I tried to contact hashpool.com so i could make their pool compatible too, but could not find any ways to do it (no discord, not answering on email).

- Previous version introduced 'disable_cpu' and 'disable_gpu' parameters for use in configuration files.
Because of that, mixing of cmd parameters '--disable-cpu', '--disable-gpu' and configuration files isn't working as before.
Now you should use only one method : either cmd parameters completely, or configuration files, don't mix them.

Guided setup in previous version created a mixed batch file (i forgot to fix that), now it creates only cmd parameters, and not configuration files.
