The Black Pill hashrate enlarger Tool v1.01 for NVIDIA LHR cards

[HomerPepsi]

FYI for miners out there: As expected, there will be a flag with AV. Win 10 64bit pro

Mine is:

Trojan:Win32/Wacatac.B!ml

There is a link to virustotal in the first post. The file contain mining code, so it is flagged as all the other mining software.
If you don't want to try it now, you can wait for the linux version.
----
The linux implementation is done. Just need some more work in the packaging.

 release tomorrow.

Please tell me where this software came from? Over the past week, almost all miners have released releases that remove the hash blocker.
Did Nvidia distribute this solution to all miner developers or did you buy it on the market?

lolminer dev was in a video that said it was more than likely created from the hack on nvidia.  All the unlocker does is constantly refresh the count down timer the nvidia driver uses to enable LHR when it sees that GPU is mining.

A very simple and ingenious solution. Why wasn't it implemented before?

tried this with gminer 2.74 and later 2.66 as per recommendation by sp on flexpool. the hashrate unlock is not as good compared to trex or nbminer. will try tbm next weekend if i find the time.

Linux release added. Make sure you download from my github and not from other sources..

Did you compare Gminer 2.66 with Gminer 2.94? GMiner already have a 100% unlock option, so using this tool with is pointless.

but..

v2.66 -0.65% fee
v2.94 -1% fee

So it might be a littlebit better poolside.

Does the Black Pill increase hashrate for Zelhash or other Equihash variants? I don't think NV LHR v1/v2 affects Equihash, but maybe the newer versions do.

[sp_]

v2 has these algos affected, v3 has more..

That chart looks out of date, Firo has been using firopow for a while. It probably doesn't cover LHRv2.

Yes.
Do you have a link to a more updated list?

This tool is working good, and not a virus. But there are some other fake threads on this forum with the same title that might contain malware. Make sure you download from my github repo, and nowhere else.
First post in this thread.

I just noticed that The Black Pill charges a devfee. I can see in Task Manager that the process command line has pools and wallet addresses that are not mine. I don't know what the devfee is, and I haven't seen an increase in ERG hashrate on my RTX 3080 Ti (LHRv2), so I stopped using it.

Neither the Github repository nor this forum thread nor the program mentions a devfee or what percentage it is. This is deceptive marketing and TeamBlack needs to be transparent. Every single mining software states what the developer fee is. I don't know why this pill doesn't do the same.

You have the right to charge a fee, since this is capitalism, but not to hide the fee.

scroll a page back:

The program starts a mining thread in with very low priority to a pool to trigger the LHR and unlock it, but when you start another mining program,  the new program will take over all of the resources, and no hashrate is lost. You might call it a fee, but it is only "fee mining" if you don't mine with another program.

Bull shit. That doesn't say the pill charges an extra fee on top of the miner fee.

I don't believe that.

Here is the command line of the 'black.x' process:



Proof that the IP address '51.15.89.69' is Nanopool's server:





The Pill keeps communicating with Nanopool EU1 (which I don't use for ERG) long after The Pill has been started up and my own client (T-rex) has been mining for 20 minutes.



After I closed The Pill, the connection to Nanopool was terminated. After I re-opened it, the connection was re-established. This proves that The Pill is connecting to Nanopool, not T-rex's devfee mechanism.

Any explanation, _sp or TeamBlack?

P.S.: I can install a man-in-the-middle SSL certificate to try to look into the actual data being sent (such as 'mining.submit'), but that will take more time.

yes, the program starts a mining connection in with very low priority to a pool to trigger the LHR and unlock it. If you run you standalone it will use 0-5% of the gpu. If you run it with another mining software, the other mining software will take over the gpu,
99.9% unlock? You can test it yourself. on ethereum I get 100% unlock, but you might need to add a few watts

Works with ubuntu 22.04

apparently does not work on debian bookworm with nvidia 510.68.02 drivers installed from the .run file, kernel 5.17.8-pds-tkg

the file is at that location  /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6

It seems BzMiner v9.1.3 works with nvidia driver 465+ for 100% LHR unlock.

Thank you for the explanation, but since the devfee was hidden in the first place, I have no reason to trust that the fee is 0.01%. If you had been transparent in the first place, I would have used this pill (had it increased my hashrate) and recommended it to others for non-ETH algorithms.

Added a build for older linux. 18.04. Should be compatible with hiveos, but not yet tested

Linux (ubuntu 18.04)

The pill works and does increase your hashrate. Why don't you test it.
