Changelog
Significantly improved performance of Gram / Chapa mining on Nvidia Turing and newer gpus. Turing cards gain approximately 15%, Amperes even up to 22%). Note: because the new kernel also uses more energy, the old kernel is still available as an option by adding parameter --mode a. The new kernel can be found via --mode b and is default.
Significantly improved performance of dual mining Fishhash + Gram / Chapa mining on Nvidia Turing and newer gpus. Note: because the new kernel also uses more energy, the old kernel is still available as an option by adding parameter --mode a. The new kernel can be found via --mode b and is default.

Changelog
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.
Changelog
Added support to mine SHA512_256D used for Radiant (RXD). Use -a RADIANT to mine it, fee is 0.75%. Supported GPUs: AMD RX 470 - 590, Vega (requires rocm drivers) and all Navi and newer, Nvidia Pascal and newer.
Added support to mine Ethash B3 used for Rethereum (RETH). Use -a ETHASHB3 to mine it, fee is 1.0%. Supported GPUs: AMD Navi and newer, Nvidia Pascal and newer.

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.

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

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 gpus by 1.5 - 3% depending on model
Changelog
Improved Nexa mining performance by 6 - 8% on all supported GPUs (except AMD Vega / VII).
Improved power efficiency of Nexa mining.
Changelog
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.
Changelog
Significantly improved Nexa mining performance on supported GPUs (e.g. up to +25% on 8G Ampere GPUs)
Fixed a bug that can make the miner crash with error message "Authorization problem on all configured pools 1" during Nexa mining
Changelog
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.org. 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.
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.
Changelog
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.
Changelog
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.
Changelog
- Better Kaspa performance, in Kaspa only and dual mining with Etc / Ethw.
- Initial support for RX 7900
Changelog
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.
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.
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).
Changelog
Changes
Improved the Kaspa only mining performance on Nvidia Turing, Ampere and Ada GPUs by about 3.5%. (1)
Significantly improved the Kaspa only mining energy efficiency on Nvidia Turing, Ampere and Ada GPUs by 7-11% depending on the actual model.
Values given to --dualfactor parameter will now be value checked and rounded / capped to working values.
(1) Can be higher in case the card was power limited before.
Fixes
Fixed a bug causing the miner to show a crash message when lolMiner was ended via ctrl+c
Fixed a bug causing lolMiner not to start Kaspa mining on Nvidia GPUs when the Nvidia OpenCL installation on the system is broken.
Changelog
Added basic support for Intel Arc Desktop GPUs on the following algorithms: ETC, ETC+KAS (1), Kaspa, Flux, Ergo, Beam (2) & Equihash 144/5 (2). Fees are equal to Nvidia and AMD GPUs on the corresponding algorithms. Tested Intel OpenCL driver versions are 22.24.23453 and 22.32.23937.
Added support for mining Alephium in non-dual mode for Nvidia Pascal GPUs and newer. Use --algo ALEPH to mine it. Fee is 0.75%.
Slight performance improvement for Kaspa non-dual on Nvidia GPUs.
Added Aeternity Cuckoo 29 & Grin Cuckatoo 32 kernels for RX 6600 and RX 6700 series GPUs.
Updated web ui for supporting Intel GPUs, more pools and coins.
--cclk for locking core clock and --mclk for locking memory clock now work for Nvidia Pascal and Turing GPUs (3).
If --cclk or --mclk are used to lock clocks, these will now be reset on lolMiner exit.
Added reading of junction temperature and memory temperature for Nvidia GPUs for drivers 515 or newer.
Re-arranged nonce consumption for Kaspa to allow pools with 3 bytes extra-nonce without (too many) duplicate shares.
Linux: Added reading of GPU power draw and core clock on Intel Arc GPUs.
Fixed a bug that may cause a segmentation fault on startup.
Fixed a bug causing --list-devices not to work.
Fixed a bug causing DNS over HTTPs to fail often.
Fixed a bug causing Intel GPUs not to be sorted by PCIE bus and address in device list.
Fixed a bug causing rejected shares on Equihash not appearing in API (but they did in miner dashboard stats).
Fixed a bug in web ui to sometimes not refreshing.
When running multiple Intel Arc GPUs on Beam or Equihash 144/5 the cards will slow down. This is likely due to a limitation of the Intel OpenCL implementation and the way lolMiner works with it. We hope to get this fixed in one of the upcoming versions.
Changelog
Slightly improved performance of Flux mining on Nvidia Ampere and Turing cards (by approx 1.5-2.5% compared to 1.60)
Improved system memory footprint when mining Flux or Beam on Nvidia GPUs. This allows running the solvers on more then 8 GPUs with only 4G system memory.
Speed exposed by API is now smoothed, so especially on all Equihash based algorithms the hashrate figures derived from API values will appear more smooth
Fixed a bug causing Flux mining on Nvidia Pascal GPUs not working
Fixed a bug causing stale shares being counted as defect shares in API - and not correctly exposed in miner UI as well.
Changelog
Significantly improved performance on Flux for Nvidia Turing & Ampere and AMD RX 5000 based GPUs. The expected performance on Ampere and Navi GPUs is about 15-20% above common implementations. On Turing based GPUs the performance matches common codes, but is more energy efficient. Fee is 1.5% for the new codes.
Equihash 125/4 (Flux), 144/5 and 192/7 stratum can now distinguish between stale shares and other rejected.
Changelog
Significantly improved Kaspa performance and efficiency on Nvidia Turing and Ampere GPUs. Also the new codes are now working much better when GPUs are power limited.
Slightly improved Kaspa performance and efficiency on AMD Navi and Big Navi GPUs
Kaspa performance statistics should now be a bit more smooth
Changelog
Added Kaspa only mining mode for Nvidia Pascal and new and AMD Polaris, Navi and Big Navi. Use --algo KASPA to mine it. Fee is 0.75%.
Changelog
An other performance improvement of Flux mining on Ampere based GPUs (1.5 - 3.5% depending on model and clocks). Fixed a bug causing some Ergo pools to disconnect the miner frequently
Changelog
Major performance increase for Flux on Nvidia Amper. Major performance increase for Beam on Nvidia Ampere. Flux and Beam on all Nvidia now uses Cuda instead of OpenCL. Slight performance improvements for Flux on AMD RX 500, RX 5000 and RX 6000 (about 0.2 it/s). Equihash coins now supports extra nonce subscription via stratum (e.g. for better profit switching pool experience). Added option --no-cl to disable detection of OpenCL GPUs (fixes a crash on some rigs where the Nvidia OpenCL driver crashes - happens mostly when having a rig with many GPUs). Disabled DAG checking for ETC mining on 4G AMD GPUs, because this was always failing (investigating to bring it back asap). Nvidia LHR cards will no longer run the LHR unlock when not mining Et(c)hash or Ergo - this will prevent them from crashing on some other algorithms
Changelog
Fixed a bug causing Ergo mining not to startup on some Nvidia Rigs. Fixed a bug causing Flux mining not to startup on some Rigs with RX 400 / 500 GPUs
Changelog
Significantly improved Flux mining performance on AMD RX 5000 (+10% on 5700) and AMD RX 6000 based GPUs (+15-22%)
Mining Flux, Beam, Equihash 144/5 and Equihash 192/7 will now display the iteration/s (it / s) for easier OC tuning and the pool sol/s calculated from submitted and accepted shares.
Flux mining can now be selected via --algo FLUX without needing to specify --pers.
Enabling Equihash 144/5 and Equihash 192/7 will now also support --pers auto instead of capital --pers AUTO for enabling pool automatic selection.
Added DAG check and repair function for Ethereum Classic mining up to epoch 300
Added ETH / ETC + Kaspa code for Nvidia Pascal based GPUs.
Added option to mix different Ethash style algorithms when using the fail-over pool function. To use this you now can use eth:, etc: and ubiq: as a prefix for your fail-over pool address to indicate this pool uses a different algorithm then the one configured initially. This will allow to automatically switch from Ethash to an Etchash pool when "the merge" happens as one can configure for normal Ethash mining and configure one of the fail-over pools as Etchash, so when the primary pool gets disconnected or rejects the authorization (these two are expected behavior for Eth pools after the merge), then the miner can switch to a fail-over e.g. configured to mine Etchash. See example files "mine_eth_backup_etc.sh" or "mine_eth_backup_etc.bat" on how to use it.
Note: when using this feature with prefixes like tls:// or ssl://, then put the new prefix after the prefix for the communication layer. So tls://etc: is valid, while etc:tls:// is not.
Changelog
Fixed a bug sometimes causing duplicate send shares in Kaspa dual mining. Fixed a bug "Received a defect stratum message: conversion of data to type "b" failed" on new Kaspa pools and the solo mining adapters. Fixed a bug causing --dualworker not to work right with Kaspa dual mining
Changelog
Added Eth/Etc/Ubiq + Kaspa dual mining solver for AMD RX 400, 500, 5000 and 6000 series and Nvidia RTX 2000 / 3000 series. Use --dualmode KASPADUAL to select it. Fee is 1% + 0%.
Slightly improved dual mining performance of Ethash + Alephium on AMD RX 5000 and RX 6000 series
Slightly improved energy efficiency of Ethash on AMD RX 5000 and RX 6000 series
Added new parameter --max-latency. If the pool share latency is above this value and failover pools are configured, the miner will terminate the connection and connect to the next failover pool (at the earliest after 10 shares on the active connection). This is repeated if necessary until a pool remains below the latency limit. The default value is 0, which disables the feature. In dual-mining, multiple values can be specified separated by a comma, where the first value is for the first algorithm and the second is for the second algorithm. If only one value is specified, it applies to all connections.
Changelog
New memory management for Ergo on Nvidia GPUs. Fixes the miner not working on current epoch on latest release and fixes the requirement to restart the miner on Ergo epoch change. Added 2 more epochs on Ergo for 3G AMD GPUs. Slight changes to LHR unlocker to improve the unlocker stability. Removed: 2G zombie modes for Ergo on AMD. Removed: Support for mining Ton in single and dual mining modes. Note that existing dual mining configurations will automatically launch Eth / Etc / Ubiq only mode, so existing configurations will not be broken. Fixed multiple issues that caused the miner not to properly reconnect when it took too many attempts. Added an internal stratum watchdog, that will restart the entire stratum stack internally, when not connected for a longer while.Fixed a potential segmentation fault at startup. Fixed a segmentation fault when Alephium dual mining is requested, but the dual worker did not get authorized
Changelog
Fixed bug that can sometimes cause the pool hash-rate to half after multiple reconnect attempts in a row. Adjusted behavior of LHR unlock function so solve issues with some configurations occurred in 1.52
Changelog
(Improved / Fixed Nvidia memory management. Other improvements
Changelog
Extended working range of 100% LHR unlocker to 470 and 472 drivers. On 515.x drivers unlock currently does not work. New parameter for dualmining: --dualfactor. Fixed bug causing the Zombie mode on 5G Pascal GPUs (1060 5G, P2000) not to work. Minor LHR unlocker stability improvements
Changelog
100% LHR unlock on LHR V1 and V2 GPUs for all algos. Requires Nvidia driver 510.x and sudo/administrator privileges! Added experimental LHR v3 unlock to ~90% (3050) and ~92% (3080 12G) (default enables) Use --lhrv3boost 0 to disable the mode and fall back to ~65% unlock. Fixed a bug in 1.49 causing Ergo mining not to start on Nvidia
Changelog
Improved performance Nvidia LHR V2 cards in Ethash to 79 - 79.5% (86.5 - 87 % on RTX 3060 V1 and 460.39 driver). Note that dual mode codes remain unchanged. Added an experimental zombie mode for Nvidia Pascal generation 5GB cards, allowing them to continue mining Ethash after epoch 492. Reduced fee for LHR unlocker back to 0.7%. Now all Ethash solo codes have only 0.7% fee (again). LHR cards that have memory junction temperature sensors will automatically throttle LHR unlock by ~0.4 - 0.5% when hitting 106° C memory clock to prevent unneeded locks. LHR calibration on startup now taking approx 2 minutes instead of 4. Extended crc table for Ethash up until epoch 550. Changed default behavior for "." signs in wallet address when Ton or Aleph dual mining. These will now automatically separate the string at the given position, so the thing after a . is treated as worker name.
Fixed a bug that may cause TLS connections not cleanly reconnecting after a connection loss
Changelog
Fastest public Ethash LHR solver! 77.2 - 78.2% on GDDR6 and 76 - 77% on GDDR6X Nvidia Ampere cards! Exceptions: 86% on RTX 3060 v1 with driver 460.39 or older, 55-58% on RTX 3050 and RTX 3080 12G. Fee on the new scheme is 1%. Highly recommended NVIDIA driver 510.47 for best stability - if you do not such, please upgrade your rigs with newest SimpleMining image from download section or using Reflash Command in Dashboard.
Parameter --lhrtune now takes absolute % values to fix a certain percentage of unlocking. Cheaper locks: when unlocking the miner will continue mining at low speed to make the unlock procedure more cheap. New parameter --silence that controls the amount of information the miner will print during its work. Added Nvidia memory junction temperature readings on cards that support this, e.g. GDDR6X customer GPUs, most professional and server GPUs and so on. Fixed a bug with dual mining on LHR cards where the dual algorithm was mined with reduced rate after Ethash epoch change. Fixed a bug with --compactaccept not showing the * sign on short statistics. Other changes.
Changelog
Slightly improved initial speed after startup on 510.x drivers allowing to reach best performance faster. Made the LHR unlocker more robust against small changes in work load. Added Nvidia core junction temperature reading. Change in configuration for making it more comfy: If the number of entries for --cclk, --mclk, --lhrtune or --maxdualimpact matches exactly the number of selected GPUs, the miner will now automatically skip over the inactive devices. --lhrtune 0 is now semantically identical to --lhrtune off.
Fixes: Changed handling of user/wallet names containing one or multiple dots. Fixed a bug causing LHR unlock not working when too many GPUs needed to perform DAG repair in Aleph dual mining. Fixed a bug causing RTX 3050 & RTX 3080 12GB to have extremely low Ethash performance when dual mining. Fixed a bug causing dual mining hash rate on FHR cards not showing up during dual mine calibration in 1.47. Fixed a bug causing --lhrtune off occasionally not to work in 1.47
Changelog
Improved Ton performance in Eth+Ton 15-20%. Tuning now uses a scoring function to score resulting Eth and dual coin rewards and try to optimize this. With --maxdualimpact you still can just define the max % of Eth hashrate to give away forl overwrite the scoring function. Added experimental Eth+Alephium dual mining kernels for Pascal GPUs. Ton stratum: https://next.ton-pool.com/ now using mode 2 automatically again. New whalespool server ss://stratum.whalestonpool.com/stratum now using mode 6 automatically. Fixed bug causing connection time out not working properly. Fixed bug in Alephium stratum: miner did not check fail-over when primary worker name was not accepted by the pool. Fixed a crash when trying to specify more fail-over pools for dual algorithm then for the primary connection. Fixed some minor glitches
Changelog
Fixed a bug causing the miner to sometimes end up in an infinite re-connect cycle - instead of actually reconnecting. Fixed a bug causing --maxdualimpact not having effect on some Nvidia cards
Changelog
Added Ethash + Alephium dual mining mode analogous to existing Ethash + Ton mode. Use --dualmode ALEPHDUAL to use it. Supported GPUs: Nvidia Turing & Ampere generation, AMD Polaris (RX 400, 500), Navi and Big Navi generations. Stratum connections will now have an increasing timeout when reconnecting target pool in case of recovering from a network outtake. Added experimental (at the moment a bit slow) Ethash kernels for new AMD BC-250 APUs. In dual mining the algorithm that mined a share will now be shown in command line output --ton-mode 6 stratum mode will now obey the prefix send to it on the first bytes of the nonce (request from other pools that want to use this scheme). Startup time of dual mining on non-LHR cards is now reduced to 30 seconds after DAG build. Removed --ton-mode 2 from automatic detection (you still can request it explicitly) - ton-pool.com will instead use mode 1 for existing and mode 6 for upcoming new stratum servers. Fixed multiple stratum bugs - mostly crash fixes when running web socket based connections
Changelog
Added experimental Ethash + Ton dual mining for Nvidia Pascal GPUs. Fixed a bug that might cause a SIGSEV or SIGPIPE crash on some Linux platforms when reconnecting. Fixed a bug that caused the miner to enter re-connect routine when one endpoint of a Ton - pool did not work, although other endpoints did connect well. Fixed a bug with icemining.ca Ton stratum not sending correct job id when dual mining on AMD cards. Fixed a bug with json style configuration not working with dual mining in 1.43 release version. Temporarily disabled the ZIL cache function on AMD GPUs, because it sometimes did not swap clearly
Changelog
Added support for real dual mine Ethash / Etchash / Ubiqhash + Ton. Added parameter --maxdualimpact to limit the impact of dual mining to the hashrate of the primary algrorithm. Added support to split the hashrate of Ethash / Etchash / Ubiqhash to two different pools with user chosen distribution. Added support to mine any two algorithms lolMiner supports simultaneously on different cards, but within the same miner instance. Added new fields to --statsformat to cover dual mining. Added stratum support for upcoming icemining.ca Ton mining pool. Reworked Beam kernel for all (Big) Navi GPUs to be compatible with current driver lineup. Added Etchash, Ubiqhash (both + Ton) and Beam support for new RX 6400 + 6500 GPUs. Added LHR detection & unlocking support for new RTX 3050 cards. Slightly changes LHR calibration to produce more consistent values. Fixed a bug causing RDNA / RDNA2 cards throw an unusual high rate of invalid Ethash shares on some newer drivers Fixed some bugs causing re-connection to Pool does not work properly. Fixed a bug causing a clutter of the network stack, that might compromise the API at some point.
Changelog
Reduced Ton pool job polling intervals by default for reduce stales and rejected. Added Ton solo mining mode. Use --pool SOLO or --ton-mode 5 to use it. In this mode miner will get giver seeds and difficulty from the contracts directly from the public API and submit a found solution directly to the giver to pay you. During this mode the "Pool hashrate" and the "best share statistics" will show data based on an internal difficulty of about 4.4Th. Every submitted share is equal to a submitted challenge solution to the network. Added ability to lock the memory clock on Nvidia RTX 3000 series --mclk, that will be only effective for TON mining at 810 value (requires admin/sudo permissions and Nvidia driver 470 series or newer). Made the horizontal stats standard. You still can get back to old vision via adding --vstats to your parameter set. Fixed bug in Ton solver back ends, that rarely caused (double) defect shares to appear. Fixed bug in statistics causing GPU number not to be right aligned in classical vertical stats. Fixed some general issues where Ton pools did not get connected
Changelog
Fixed a bug with seed handling, that caused a high rate of defect shares on https://pool.tonuniverse.com in --ton-mode 4. Fixed a bug with https://other.tonuniverse.com pool in --ton-mode 1 that caused the miner to reconnect after a share was submitted
Changelog
EMERGENCY UPDATE! Users running version 1.40 are asked to immediately switch to the latest version 1.41a because of DDoS issue caused by 1.40.
Re-wrote the complete HTTPS connection stack in the TON pool connector, so the connections can be reused for a significant lower load on the pools. Improved performance of Nvidia TON kernels, especially significant on Turing based GPUs. Added experimental TON kernels for Nvidia Fermi and first generation Kepler GPUs. Altered fee pools of TON to distribute better to different mirrors to reduce load on single ones. Implemented a system that can detect connection blocking in TON and will automatically choose alternative mirrors for the known TON pools in case of problems. Users on toncoinpool.io stratum mode (--ton-mode 3) can now specify a worker name via --worker or by adding a worker name to their wallet separated by a dot. Other TON mining pool protocols will ignore both, because most pools do not accept worker names send. Fixed bug: an extra "/" at the end of a https:// or wss:// address will no longer cause the connection to fail. Fixed bug: Infinite cycling of TON connection attempts in case of attempts to swap to fail-over pools. Fixed bug: Failed DNS resolve ending in a miner crash. Fixed: Miner now also does load balancing on error 1020 - this would have resolved itself once enough users swapped to 1.41 from buggy older versions, but might speed up pool recovers process
Changelog
Improved performance of TON up to 1.5%. Lowered TON fee to 1%. Increased TON https mining polling interval for less server load. Improved blocking preventing mechanisms. Miner can now communicate with stratums using websockets. Significantly improved TON mining pool compatibility. Added a new parameter --ton-mode to toggle between modes. Fixed bug with TON https polling causing random crashes on some machines. Fixed bug with TON: defect shares were not displayed in stats overview. Fixed bug with TON OpenCL back end: miner did trigger watchdog when a GPU was halted and waiting for work
Changelog
Added support for mining TON. AMD cards since GCN1 and Nvidia cards Maxwell and newer generation are supported. Added support for mining Ubiq. Added support for routing your stratum traffic through a socks5 proxy server. Added timeout for DOH requests, so they can no longer hang indefinitely. Fixed ethash support for RX 5500 series GPUs on more recent drivers
Changelog
Added DNS over HTTPS name resolving --dns-over-https (default 1: DNS over HTTPS is enabled, fallback to normal DNS resolving is possible. Updated internal libraries for TLS connection handling. Moved more fee pools to use TLS connection. When mining Ethash, Etchash (both +ZIL), Ergo and Beam the fee connection is now always encrypted (TLS 1.2) and mining data packages can not be identified as such. Changed LHR kernel defaults for RTX 3060 and RTX 3070, because the default ones had an issue with defect shares at high oc
Changelog
Improved Ethash performance Turing based GPUs (GTX 16xx, RTX 20xx, lower tier CMP cards) ~0.4-0.7%. Improvement Ethash performance up to 1% and reduction of stale share rate Maxwell and Pascal (GTX 10). Changes LHR tuning algorithm to minimize the number of locks & time for finding a stable value: The tuning might be improved by the miner later once stable for long enough time. Improved LHR performance for 3060 V1 (GA106-300-A1) on older drivers upto 460.39. Added Ergo kernels for RX 6700XT and RX 6600 (XT) on newer AMD drivers. Ethereum stratum code will now print the pool difficulty in better human readable number. The miner will now print the ip of the connected pool - to be able to detect e.g. faulty DNS entries. Added parameters --dualtls and --dualworker to toggle TLS and the worker name for the dual connection. To be used as with the parameters for the standard connection. --statsformat can now distinguish between the number of LHR locks "lhrlks" and the current --lhrtune parameter "lhrparam". Added parameter --vstats to modify the terminal width in number of characters to overwrite the automatic detection, which sometimes does not work with some terminal emulators like putty. Added parameter --hstats. Fixed 3060 V1 (GA106-300-A1) internal parameters for drivers upto 460.39, stabilizing the hash rate. Fixed bug causing wavy hash-rate report in some FHR rigs. Fixed bug causing --mode a kernels to be defect for Ampere and Turing GPUs in 1.36(a). Fixed bug causing a segmentation fault when trying to mine EXCC
Changelog
Fixed a bug causing no LHR unlock to normal speed after epoch change
Reverted some LHR kernels to a specification more similar to what was in 1.35. These are default in Windows and on RTX 3080 on Linux, other cards can request this kernels by using --lhrtune wauto or wTuneNumber in case the default is unstable.
Changelog
Improved Ethash & Etchash performance on all Nvidia Turing & Ampere GPUs by 0.3 to 0.7% depending on card & system.
Decreased rate of stales on Nvidia Turing & Ampere GPUs.
Modified LHR auto tuning to use finer steps (0.2 instead of 1). Also when the miner is more then 2 hours stable on its current settings and a lock appears, the card will unlock again, but the tuning will not be reduced.
New parameter: --lhrwait n will set the miner to wait n seconds, until the LHR detection and calibration gets active. Allows to wait for systems with delayed memory overclock settings.
Fixed a potential crash between switching between cached Eth and Zil dag on Nvidia cards
Fixed a bug: Worker name got lost on ezil.me mining pool (since 1.34)
Fixed a bug causing rare defect shares on LHR cards
