lolMiner 1.71
Changes
- Added support for mining Kaspa on AMD RX Vega using rocm based drivers (amdgpu-pro 20.50 and newer)
- Added support for mining Nexa on AMD RX 400 & 500 series gpus
- Improved Nexa mining performance on AMD Vega based gpuss by 45% (Vega 56 & Vega 64) and up to 60% on Radeon VII, Note: needs still drivers that are HSA based as very new amdgpu-pro versions or rocm drivers.
- Improved Nexa mining performance on all other supported AMD & Nvidia Turing and Ampere gpus by 1.5 - 3% depending on model
Fixes
- fixed a bug causing Vega GPUs not starting to mine Nexa on systems with xnack feature enabled.
General note: 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.

lolMiner 1.70
Changes
- Improved Nexa mining performance by 6 - 8% on all supported GPUs (except AMD Vega / VII).
- Improved power efficiency of Nexa mining.
Hint:
Due to recent problems we advice to use the miner with --dns-over-https 0 when connecting to an auto-location pool. Else the pool mirror you receive might not be ideal for your location.
Special thanks to hashrate.no and JulianoCaju for help to iron out the bugs of this version :)

lolMiner 1.69
Changes
- Added Nexa support for AMD Vega / VII (1) and RDNA 1-3 GPUs (2)
- The parameter --keepfree can now be used to keep a certain amount of memory free on each GPU on Nexa mining. This might end up in allocating a smaller lookup table, so the GPU memory has space left for other workloads (3)
- The --keepfree parameter is now working for each GPU separately. Use a comma separated list of values if you want to assign different values for each GPU.
- Nexa mining will now allocate memory for each GPU sequentially and delay later cards startup slightly to help systems with small virtual memory.
Notes
(1) AMD Vega and VII are currently only supported on GPU drivers running the Rocm compute OpenCL driver stack. This is e.g. default for Vega GPUs on the latest Linux drivers, but not on pre 2021 drivers. Support for older drivers (and maybe older GPUs) might be included with the upcoming releases.
(2) Attention: we have seen cases where one or multiple RX 6000 GPUs have been mining significantly slower then identical cards on the same rig. This happens only on older 21.x or 20.40 Linux drivers. We recommend to update to 21.50 or 22.20 to fix the issue.
(3) For users of the alternative Windows version of 1.68: Use --keepfree 1024 or higher to get the effect the alternative version had.

lolMiner 1.68
Changes
- Significantly improved Nexa mining performance on supported GPUs (e.g. up to +25% on 8G Ampere GPUs)
Fixes
- Fixed a bug that can make the miner crash with error message "Authorization problem on all configured pools 1" during Nexa mining
Note
The alternative Windows version uses a different mechanism to determine the available memory on a Windows system. On most 8G GPUs this will cause the miner to select a smaller dataset table that has only slightly above 2 G. Therefore the alternative version might be a good choice for systems with connected screens or for Nexa / Zil mining using the Zil switching app.

Windows note: Try lolMiner_v1.68_alternative_Win64 ONLY if you get the message GPU ?: error in allocation memory 0 .
lolMiner 1.67
Changes
- Improved Nexa performance on Nvidia Turing based gpus by approximately 35%+.
- Improved Nexa performance on 8G Nvidia Ampere gpus by approximately 1.5% when memory is not locked and ~3% on locked memory (5000). 10G and higher gpus got an additional 5% performance increase.
- Improved Nexa performance on Nvidia Ada based gpus by approximately 25% on locked memory clock (5000) and about 8% on unlocked memory.
- Added Nexa echelon mining protocol to support pools using it, e.g. 137pool.io. The needed format will be automatically detected when connecting to a pool using it.
- Updated WebUI for Nexa mining and more pools to support.
- Windows: Updated GUI
Fixes
- Fixed a bug causing scattered defect shared on Nexa mining (all OS)
- Fixed a display bug when setting power limit on Nvidia GPUs saying the value is out of Range, although its fine. (all OS)
- Fixed a bug in Nexa mining of the miner creating only defects (Windows)
- Fixed a bug in Nexa mining of the miner crashing silently after a few minutes (Windows)
Note 1: Every code update - in particular when so massive as here - may require re-tuning your oc & uv settings for ideal results and stability.
Note 2: memory locking on Ada gpus is only recommended if the core clock is locked as well and not maxed out - on high core clock in combination with memory locked to 5000 the performance will struggle due to worse memory timings.

lolMiner 1.66
Changes
- Added support for mining Nexa on Nvidia Pascal or newer generation GPUs (1). Use --algo NEXA to mine it. Fee is 2%.
Note: The pool protocol supported matches the one introduced by rplant pool. That said pools tested by this version are in alphabetical order: acc-pool.pw, rplant.xyz, vipor.net and woolypooly.com. That said this list is not exclusive and every other pool following this protocol should work.
Note 2: This code is joint work with Iedoc from BzMiner and it is a refined version with approximately 20% higher speed then the code released in BzMiner v13.0.1. An updated version of BzMiner featuring the improvements of this kernel as well as the same fee level will be released soon.
(1) Primary focus in optimization were the low to medium range Nvidia Ampere GPUs. The performance of other generations may vary, but certainly improve the next versions.
lolMiner 1.65
Changes
- Improved Kaspa performance in ETC and ETHW dual mining by about 6-7% on AMD (Big) Navi GPUs and 10-12% on Nvidia Turing and Ampere, measured at the same Ethash speed. The actual improvement depends on the concretely selected dual factor. Re-tuning your setup is highly recommended.
- Improved Kaspa performance in Kaspa only mining mode by 0.6 to 1.2% on Nvidia GPUs and 0.4-0.5% on AMD (Big) Navi GPUs at approximately same power draw.
- Beta feature: Added experimental support for AMD RX7900 series. Supported algorithms: Et(c)hash, kHeavyHash and the corresponding dual mining.
Fixes
- Fixed some minor display bugs
lolMiner 1.65a
Fixes
- Fixed a bug causing sometimes high number of duplicate shares on Kaspa when dual mining with ETC.
- Changed kaspa stratum behavior: Kaspa mining will now start only after the pool did send an authorization message. This prevents rejected shares at startup.
- Slightly changed dual mining tuning behavior to a mode a bit slower, but less likely to hang up the GPUs at startup.
lolMiner 1.64
Changes
- Improved Kaspa only mining performance. Speed increase is about 8-8.5% on Nvidia Pascal GPUs, 4.5-5% on Nvidia Turing and Ampere GPUs and 3-4% on AMD Navi and Big Navi GPUs
- Beta feature: added options to set core clock offset (--coff), memory clock offset (--moff), power limit (--pl) and a fixed fan speed (--fan) on common Nvidia GPUs. Required are admin privileges and Nvidia drivers 520 or higher!
The syntax is the same as with --cclk and --mclk - if a single value is given then it will be applied to all compatible GPUs, else a coma separated list of values can be given using a * character to skip over GPUs. (1) - Added a new parameter --no-oc-reset to turn off the reset of overclock settings when ending the miner.
- Windows: Added a beta gui to generate overclock settings strings / .bat files for the miner. Also the tool can apply the chosen settings directly.
(1) Note: No responsibility taken for the values set. Please use with care. If your mining os had build in functions to set these settings we recommend using them instead of the miner settings.
Fixes
- Fixing a bug with ETHV1 (nicehash) stratum mode that may cause the worker name to be appended twice when it was given by --user . (the use of --worker did not have this issue).
