GitHub: DOWNLOAD lolMiner 0.9.0

lolMiner 0.9 Added + 22% on GRIN-AT31 for 8G AMD. lolMiner is an Equihash / Cuckatoo miner with a focus on AMD GPUs (based on OpenCL), but it will also work on most Nvidia GPUs (Nvidia GPUs), but speed and stability may vary.

Changes v0.9:

Significant performance improvement for GRIN-AT31 on 8G AMD cards (+ 22% on Polaris to 30% on Radeon VII)
16G solver disabled for GRIN-AT31 (8G is now faster)
Reduced Grin Stale Stocks
On the command line, lolMiner now accepts the address –pool: port pattern
Fixed API crash when accessing Chrome-based browsers
Fixed bug in the EXCC stratum, due to which the number of shares sent to the API was not transferred

Release Notes:

New codes were tested with the amdgpu-pro 19.30 driver (Linux)

Known Issues:

AMD Navi support is currently disabled for new algorithms. Cuckatoo-31 on ROCm returns to 4G core.

Expected performance on Cuckatoo-31 (stock settings)

 Сапфир RX 580 Pulse 0,55 г / с
 Radeon Vega 64: 1,2 г / с
 Мощность Color Radeon VII 1,53 г / с

Changelog:

Changes of 0.8.7

Added support for Beam Hash II on older AMD cards (R 9 200/300 4 & 8G; R 9 280 (X), HD 79 × 0 with 3G). Pay note that the auto switch only works with at least 4G, for 3G cards, use —coin BEAM-II manually at the height of the plug.
Fixed missing Genesis Network (GENX) in lolMiner 0.8.x

Changes of 0.8.6

Added support for BEAM hard fork on block 321321 (approximately August 15), read below about using
Fixed a bug with the BEAM server part in the case of formatted job descriptions (for example, the new Nicehash platform)

Changes of 0.8.5

Added support for the Grin Cuckarood-29 (—coin GRIN-AD29) algorithm for 4G and 8G AMD cards. This new PoW will be active on Grin from block 262.080 (July 17)

Usage

The first way to use the miner is from the command line interface. Syntax:

`Code:`

Linux:  ./lolMiner --coin  --pool  --port   --user  --pass  Windows: lolMiner.exe --coin   --pool  --port  --user  --pass

<shortCut> parameter is the short name for the coin you want to mine. For example, inserting AION will configure the miner to my AION, MNX for MinexCoin, and so on.

For more shortcuts and additional options, please read the lolMiner_manual.pdf that comes with the miner.

lolMiner supports backup pools, configuration files (simple exchange between Rigs and easy switching between coins), automatic worker names, a simple API for reading statistics, entering a text file and many other functions.

Customization lolMiner

batch file setup lolMiner setup — **Customization lolMiner**

lolMiner.exe specify the name of the program that will run
–coin BEAM parameter —coin determines which coin to mine. lolMiner will select the internal settings as the desired algorithm.
–pool beam-eu.leafpool.com after the key —pool specify the address of the pool.
–port 3333 specify the pool port. You need to find it on the page with the pool, or use the example of ready-made settings at the end of the article
—User 3d1f865b393hgf3ead1e0dd0c0307c0cbcdb8411671c86fbd0b22cfe5328b608ca5 after the key –user indicate the wallet address or login on the pool. The wallet can be opened at any safe and convenient exchange, or put an official wallet from a coin.
.rig0 put a point and specify the farm identifier. It is only needed to track statistics on the pool.

Example for Beam coin:

 lolMiner.exe --coin BEAM --pool beam-eu.sparkpool.com --port 2222 --user 3fd1f865b393afa3cdd1e1dd3f0307c0cbcdb8412671c86fbdo9b21cfe5328b608ca1.rig1

You can start mining by double-clicking on the «.bat» file with the desired coin. We start on a farm with Windows and AMD cards and see what the program console writes to us:

Equihash 150/5 algorithm the algorithm that we selected when setting up the batch file
Warning: No user profile defined in command line (—profile (profileName> missing) the program warns that we are not set the profile through the configuration. But we configured through the .bat file, therefore profile settings (config file) can be ignored
Reading pool data from command line the program prepares information about connecting to the pool, which we specified in the batch file
lolMiner is configured to mine Beam(BEAM), Equihash 150/5 — BeamHash the miner realized that we want to mine a Beam coin!
Radeon RX 580 Series Cards for mining cryptocurrency are determined. In our case, it is RX 580
Memory: 8192 MByte (8138 MByte free) 8138 MB of video memory available
Active: true (Selected kernel: Equihash 150/5 (Beam), 4G memory) the program chose the core for mining

We wait some time until all devices are detected and see the following:

Connecting to pool… connect to the pool
Connected to beam-eu.sparkpool.com:2222 successfully connected
New job received: 1 Difficulty 100 pool sent a job for video cards
GPU 4: Submitting shareю Share accepted (35 ms) the first ball is accepted (share of work). It must be understood that the miner receives the reward precisely for the sent balls.

After waiting a bit, the console will show us the hashrate and temperatures of all the GPUs.

Disabling miner commission (NoFee):

You can disable the miner’s commission by adding the -nofee key. Or using the utility NoDevFee (NoFee) – disable commission in the miner.

Problem solving

If the program does not start or crashes, then add the pause key at the end of the batch file. So you will see the code and description of the error and the console will not close, but will display information.

If the program does not work stably or crashes, then you need to increase the virtual memory of the system:

Control Panel \ All elements of the control panel \ System – Advanced system settings – Advanced tab, then Options, again Advanced tab.

We find the Virtual memory settings, click Change. Uncheck the box “Automatically select the size of the paging file” and put the checkbox “Specify size”. Specify the desired size in MB (Example for 6 cards – 45000). Click on the Set button. Reboot the farm.
