lolMiner 1.80

Changes

• Massively improved Karlsen mining performance on AMD RX 400, AMD RX 500 (both +45%) and AMD Vega 56 / 64 (both +92%).
• Improved Karlsen mining performance on AMD Radeon VII and AMD RX 5000 GPUs (+12%).

Note: All AMD Vega and VII cards still need a driver that reports its Driver version as 3261.0 (HSA1.1,LC) or higher. As far as we know all mining operation systems offer a driver packed that is new enough - but it might be this is the latest.

Fixes

• Improved / Fixed hashrate regression in 1.78a / 1.79 of Nvidia GPUs in Windows on Alephium, EthashB3, Ironfish, Karlsen, Nexa and Radiant.
• Fixes Karlsen performance regression on GTX 16xx GPUs from 1.78 to 1.79.
• Fixed an issue causing RX 5000 cards sometimes to not work in Windows on recently added algorithms

lolMiner 1.79

Changes

• Added Karlsen support for AMD RX 400, RX 500, RX Vega*, Radeon VII* and RX 5000 generation GPUs. This is for the stand alone solver only and not yet for RTH+KLS dual mining. * RX Vega and Radeon VII requiereing an OpenCL driver with version number 3261.0 or higher.
• Slightly improved Karlsen solvers for Nvidia GPUs by approximately 0.5 (Ampere) to 3 % (Pascal cards)

Fixes

• Fixed a bug causing FISHHASH-TESTNET solver not submitting shares to testnet server
• Fixed a bug causing 1.78 added dual mining codes to not start up on some Linux systems
• Fixed a bug causing multiple algorithms (RTH, NEXA, Radiant) not to start up on some systems in Windows
• Fixed a bug causing KLS solver to sometimes segmentation fault in Linux
• Fixed a bug causing AMD RDNA2 & RDNA3 cards to have low poolside Karlsen hashrate on older drivers. Hint: please update to drivers with OpenCL version above 3261.0 to get best possible performance out of your cards, cause the fix did cost a bit of raw speed.

Notes & Tips:

• If you see the miner re-tunes the dualmode very often, because of clock change, try to spot a good factor and fix it via --dualfactor
• The IRONDUAL dual mode does cost a lot of RETH performance on Nvidia cards. Therefore often the automatic tuning tunes it to 0. Therefore we advice to set a good for you --dualfactor on your own.

1.78

Changes

• Added support for Beam Hash III on Nvidia RTX 4000 and AMD RX 7000 generation GPUs
• Added support for Heavyhash-Karlsen for Nvidia Pascal and newer and AMD RX 6000 and newer GPUs. Use --algorithm KARLSEN to mine it, fee is 1%
• Added multiple dual mining options for EthashB3 algorithm (Rethereum). The algorithm can now be used with --dualmode to be set to ALEPHDUAL (Blake3 - Alephium), FISHDUAL (Blake3 - Ironfish), RXDDUAL (Sha512 / 256D, Radiant) or KARLSENDUAL (HeavyHash-Karlsen). Fee rule for dual mining: its the same as with the individual algorithms, so if EthB3 takes 1% and Radiant mining 0.75 as individual algorithms, you pay 1% on the EthB3 portion and 0.75% on the Radiant portion when dual mining. Usage is the same as described here for Ethash.
• The algorithms ALEPH, ETHASHB3, IRONFISH, KARLSEN, NEXA and RADIANT now support splitting the hashrate analog to the options described here. Use --dualmode SPLIT-X to put X% of the hashrate to the 2nd connection given by --dualuser and --dualpool
• When using split mining, the hashrate will now be displayed as one solver as well in stats as in the API. This gives a more consistent representation.
• Reduced stale shares on algorithms ALEPH, ETHASHB3, IRONFISH, NEXA and RADIANT.
• Windows: Updated GUI tool
• Added support for the FishHash algorithm (Future Ironfish PoW) for testing purposes. Use --algorithm FISHHASH-TEST to connect to a current Ironfish pool and run the shares just against the build in CPU verify. In this mode the difficulty is 1/256 of what the usual Blake3 difficulty would be. Use --algoriithm FISHHASH-TESTNET to connect to a real testnet pool and mine there including submitted shares.

Fixes

• Fixed a bug causing BEAM mining to crash on newer cuda versions.
• Fixed a bug causing multiple algorithms to show hashrate in wrong place of statistics when running two algorithms on different GPUs.
• Fixed a bug with Rethereum mining not working on Cuda 11 drivers.

Note on Dual Mining and how to use an unknown algorithm:

As you might know you can use --dualmode according with --dualdevices to mine an algorithm that is completely different to the one provided by --algo. So e.g. if you use --algo ETHASHB3 --dualalgo KARLSEN --dualdevices ALL, you will actually only mine Heavyhash-Karlson to the pool and user given to --dualpool and --dualuser. Note that this entry is different from real dual mining, there you must use KARLSENDUAL to enable real dual mining both algorithms on one card. This difference is important, as the miner can run into buggy behavior if you use the wrong parameter entry for your purpose.

lolMiner 1.76

Changes

• Improved performance of Blake3-Alephium mining on Nvidia Turing and newer cards by 15-18%.
• Improved performance of Blake3-Ironfish mining on Nvidia Turing and newer cards by 9-11%.
• Slightly improved performance of Blake3-Ironfish mining on AMD cards by ~0.8%.
• Slightly improved performance of Nexa mining on Nvidia Turing and newer cards by ~0.6%.
• Updated dag repair tables for OctaSpace, ETHW & ETC mining to cover current epochs
• Added option --screen to enable a special mining mode in case a GPU is connected to a screen to prevent shuttering. The value -1 activates this mode for all cards, any value above or equal 0 will activate this mode for the GPU with index equal to the provided number. E.g. --screen 0 will active it for the first card detected by the miner.
  Note: it is in the nature of this option to cost some performance when used. At the moment this option is available for Ethash (AMD cards), Kaspa (Nvidia), Nexa, Alephium and Ironfish solvers.

Fixes

• Fixed a bug with Alephium mining on RTX4090 producing duplicated shares.
• Fixed a bug making some Nvidia only rigs to need --no-cl parameter to mine Ironfish.
• Fixed a bug causing Nvidia Ampere-based CMP HX GPUS & Nvidia Ax000 series not to mine blake3 algorithms.
• Fixed a bug rarely causing defect shares on AMD cards when mining Ironfish.

lolMiner 1.74

Fishing for a Windows build? That will come tomorrow.

Changes

• Added support for Ironfish mining (use -a IRONFISH for putting out your rod) for Nvidia Pascal and newer and AMD Vega and newer GPUs. (AMD Vega require rocm based drivers). Fee is 0.75%.
  This version uses the pool protocol extension of TeamRedMiner and should be compatible to all pools supporting their protocol as well as their solo mining protocol fork of Ironfish node.
• Slight improved performance and reduction of stales for Alephium mining on Nvidias.

lolMiner 1.73

Changes

Improved Kaspa codes:

• Improved performance of Kaspa on Nvidia Turing and newer by 0.2-1% depending on model
• Improved efficiency of Kaspa mining on Nvidia Turing and newer by 2-3% depending on model
• Halved number of stale shares on Kaspa on Nvidia Turing and newer

Improved Nexa codes:

• Improved performance of Nexa on Nvidia Turing and newer by 2-5% depending on model

• Improved performance of Nexa on AMD cards by 0.5 - 1.5% depending on model

• All GPUs on Nexa and Nvidia GPUs on Kaspa now do a clean shutdown once hitting ctrl+c - that should prevent issues and crashing when exiting / resetting oc

• Enabling reading of GPU junction temperature ( and memory temperature on Nvidia GDDR6x GPUs) on Nvidia 530 drivers or newer

• Windows: updated the oc gui with added AMD overclock functionality

Fixes

• Fixed a bug causing --tstart and --tstop not working in Nexa solvers
• Fixed a bug causing the miner not to pause on a connection loss in Nexa solvers

Notes:

The Nexa gpu codes are (and will be in foreseeable future) joint work with Iedoc from BzMiner. Miner fees will be evenly shared regardless of which of these two flavors of the code you prefer.
