# tdxminer v0.1.0.0
# tdxminer v0.2.0.0

This software is in an alpha stage and may be unstable.
This software is in a beta stage and may be unstable on some hardware.

Download is available in the [releases section](https://github.com/todxx/tdxminer/releases).

Currently only AMD Polaris and Vega GPUs are supported and must be running with the ROCm 1.7.1 OpenCL stack.

This miner currently only supports the lyra2z algorithm. Its only configuration is via command line to set the basic parameters for connecting to a stratum pool and selecting which platforms/devices to use. Invoking the miner with the --help option will print a short help message for how to use the options. I have tried to make the options similar to other miners to keep confusion to a minimum.

NOTE: This miner does NOT monitor GPU temperatures. It is up to the user to ensure that GPU(s) are functioning within safe power and temperature limits.
GPUs Supported:
- RX 580/570/480/470 with amdgpu-pro or ROCm 1.7.1 drivers
- RX Vega 64/56, Vega FE with ROCm 1.7.1 drivers

Software Requirements:
- [ROCm 1.7.1](https://github.com/RadeonOpenCompute/ROCm)
- libjansson4
- A supported driver version (see GPUs Supported above)

This miner includes a dev fee. The fee in this release is pretty high as I have not yet decided what to set the long-term fee to. Also to encourage users to switch to future, more stable releases. The goal of this alpha release is to get some users to kick the tires and shake out bugs, not to switch their farms over to it.

This miner includes a 3% dev fee.

The miner reports user hash rates every 60 seconds. These are the hash rates after dev fee deduction. (I.E. the hash rates reported should be the average hash rate that your pool reports.)

Some rough lyra2z performance numbers with this version:

| GPU | SCLK (MHz) | MCLK (MHz) | Hash Rate (Mh/s) |
|------------|-----------:|-----------:|-----------------:|
| RX 580 | 1167 | 2000 | 2.91 |
| RX Vega 64 | 1401 | 945 | 5.81 |
| GPU | SCLK (MHz) | MCLK (MHz) | Hash Rate (Mh/s) |
|---------------|-----------:|-----------:|-----------------:|
| RX 580 | 1167 | 2000 | 3.27 |
| RX Vega 64 | 1401 | 945 | 6.66 |
| RX Vega 64 LC | 1408 | 945 | 7.07 |

Happy hashing ;)
