Hey Loli, nice Work!!
Can you tell me which Equihash/Optiminer software this miner is based on?

I'm trying to enable stats in my dashboard, I use awesomeminer in Windows, it has the ability to add custom algos but will be easier if I can tell it which predefined software it's based on....or I can tell it which command line or api ports your software uses, ThankYou!!

Hi, everybody!
The last days new version 0.3 works minutes 20-40 and speed falls on 0 sol and so indefinitely there is 0 sol 0sol......
How to fight against it also what to do?
The mine from 5 pieces 1060 3

Did you try the new --exit-on-zero parameter of 0.3? That should close the miner after at most two minutes after the first 0 sols was detected and the scripts provided with the miner (.bat file in Windows, .sh in Linux) should be able to restart it. Does this work for you? If you want a quicker restart you can set the long stats interval shorter.
[/quote]

Yes I tried, but it doesn't solve a problem of that why speed falls on 0 sol. There is a wish to find out the reason of it that you have corrected this falling on 0.
Advise please the program for automatic start of your miner when it is switched off. And that I have touched already 3 such bat and not one doesn't work (

Windows 10, R9 280X (from 2013/2014 Scrypt mining days), Blockchain driver can get 9KSol/s but unstable and miner crashes after a few minutes.
v0.31 seemed to have fixed the crashing/segfault on Windows 10 and R9 280X but will test overnight.

Time is running fast and coding never stops.

Although its only a small update, I would like to share lolMiner-mnx 0.31 with you

For those who do not want all the info whats new, here are just the download links:

Linux 64: Click me (v0.31)
Windows 64:   Click me (v0.31)



Awesome work once again Mr Lollie!

However, with my little setup I have found that with my Nvidia GTX 1060 v0.31 with "--optim=OFF" works better/faster than v0.3 and v0.22
(I think since writing this you have made another fix, I will re-test)

For this card (slightly overclocked) the average speeds for each version are:
v0.22 - 11200 sol/s
v0.3 -  11300 sol/s
v0.31 - 12500 sol/s

And now with v0.31 if I try to run it against my Intel CPU I see one core get very busy but not much else (in benchmark mode):

 ./lolMiner-mnx_v031 --platform 1 --device 1 --optim OFF --use-alt-mine-thread

Also, the stdout from lolMiner (all versions) when piped into a file is regarded by my Linux host to be a data file, because I think of a control-@ null character...?

This is only a bit annoying when wanting to use text search tools such as grep on the log files, which I can fixup using the strings util.

Just updated the binary - had a small bug that --optim STD did not equal the default (when --optim is not set)

For next version I will try stabilizing the host part more - have an idea but must try how well this works Smiley

Haven't reported to you for some time.
Ever since the second available version it crashes much less. I turned off Windows Error Reporting and put running it in queue so it works non stop right now. I had a problem only once with the program trying to connect to the pool - I see v0.31 will fix this.

Surprisingly, this v0.31 did wonder on my rx480 rig! Using the same .bat files and new version gives like 8700sol and more where previous version did only 6100sol!!! You must have gotten the right parameters for rx480 now.

So far, I'm running lolMIner on 8 rigs now. On 2 of them I have this issue with hashrate going down when you are not connected through TeamViewer or AnyDesk. Also, if you just keep the main youtube.com page open - the hashrate doesn't go down. You don't need to run a YT video, the preview is enough. Very weird. How could that happen? If you can't reproduce the issue, let me know and we'll see if we can give you access to a machine where this happens. On one of the rigs where this happens, it happens only if you run two particular cards in the same .exe. If you run separate .bats nothing slows down. The moment you run those two particular ones in the some .bat (doesn't matter if you run only these 2 or another 1,2,3,4,5,6,7) the hashrates go down.

For those who do not want all the info whats new, here are just the download links:

Linux 64: Click me (v0.31)
Windows 64:   Click me (v0.31)

But why to download that without need? Well, this is new:

Fixed a bug in the Stratum Interface causing segfaults when receiving new jobs
This did not occur very often and most likely when the miner connected, but well - it happens from time to time and after some searching I found out why. But it seems I will have to do a new json interface for 0.4 - what fixes the segfault is rather a dirty fix and it only covers approx 80% of the possible reasons. Will try to come back with something better.

Introduced a new parameter "--optim"
This takes the two values OFF and STD (default). Setting the parameter to OFF will turn back some optimizations done for 0.3 that cause some lower end or older GPUs to run slower. So this kind of brings back the optimization level of 0.22 if you liked that more. Mid and high end cards will mine faster with this parameter not set (or the default STD), but also consume more energy. So the value OFF is also an option for those running into thermal problems.

If will extent the parameter in future for vendor specific optimizations. Lets see.

Introduced a new parameter "--use-compact-accept-msg"
This will replace the "Submitting Share / Share Accepted" message pair by * symbols attached to the 5 seconds statistics. This automatically activates --use-compact-short-stat, so we now have the following options for lolMiner-mnx to look like:

Default look--enable-time-print

Hey Guys,

I noticed some of you are having issues or are wondering on what each card should be getting.

This is a tutorial and list for all the cards 10 series / rx 5xx / rx vega. *Please not this is ubuntu numbers beside vegas*

https://www.reddit.com/r/minexcoin/comments/8303j6/minexcoin_mining_observation_best_cards_overclock/

Please ask if you have any questions.

I do however have a question for you guys, how did you get your processor to hash in the miner? I wanted to test my coprocessor cards out.

Thanks

P.S. If you do find any information helpful please help me out as i am trying to recuperate my initial coins as they were lost in an EVGA psu lighting my ssd and backup drive literally on fire.

 
p.s. For anyone having issues with 0 sols hashing, try changing the risers, if this still has issues try with no overclock for stability, then lastly try different configuration with risers and make it your primary output display.

P.S. for those of you having miner crashes with new miner, force 2G as unless the card is a 1070ti+ there is very little hash difference from 2g to auto or high. this should solve your stability issue until this gets later fixed

P.S. My personal opinion is that Ubuntu is much better for NVIDIA based cards as they do appear to hash slightly better on Ubuntu. Radeon cards should be used through Windows as I find Ubuntu Radeon drivers a nightmare. Ubuntu can be used from a flash drive, so if you have a spare one lying around just set it up.

Lolliedieb, thank You, it's a nice upgrade:

(stable rigs results)

R9 270 (stock) - 4,6   (Ksols/s)
R9 270x (stock) - 5,1
R9 280x (stock) - 8,9
R9 280x(MSI,OC) - 9,6

Win 10, blockchain driver.

Power: + 7%
Temperature: + 5%

Tomorrow I put RX 570 cards to test - I really hope, that result will be much better then last time...

Cheers!

I have 5x Nvidia EVGA GTX1060 6GB, currently running with IOIminer-mnx_v03_Win64....after aprox 1 minute of running it crashes and I need to restart it manually...
where could be the problem ? In config I only changed my MNX address. Thank you

GTX 1070ti 15.2k sol/s 17.5k sol/s


Can someone tell me how it's possible to get 17.5 Ksol from a GTX1070Ti

I'm mining @ 16 KSol with those OC settings : MEM +400 / CLOCK +0 / POWER 110W

Thanks.
18KSol/s with 120W, +200 core, +500 mem.

4x 1070 rig - ok, stable, increase in hashrate
4x 1080 rig - ok, stable,  increase in hashrate

however, 6x1060 rig, miner closes
work size 2g, auto, high, anything above 8, closes immediately after connecting to stratum
work size 2-4 works, hashrate ~10000 each but it goes to 0 after less than a minute
virtual memory increased to 50gb

don't know if it can be of any help
but after these crashes, if i want to open i.e. claymore eth miner, it can't create the dag anymore, or if it sometimes does, it's about 50% of the hash rate i usually get

When i start 6x1070ti+1x1070 - My hashrate LOW... (7x110000sol) when i star only one CARD in rig - hash rate is good.(1x18000sol) why?? in benchmark mode too...
this devices automaticaly on platform 1, on the platform 0 i have INTEL HD. (Maybe this is somehow connected with this)

The latter is fine - for most Windows systems we have platform 1 when an Intel CPU is there.

Can you check on CPU load with all 7 cards? If the overall system load is >70% this may reduce speed because the Miner does not get enough attention by the operation system and thus the work is not scheduled fast enough.


this is photo when start miner 7 vegas with WB HIGH ,some GPUs are not start and 0 hash and miner crash. Huh Huh Huh
https://imgur.com/a/FBbw5

It can be that your system runs out of memory. The Windows AMD drivers (not sure about the Linux ones) require that at the creation time of the GPU buffers there is as well RAM or virtual system memory available as requested GPU device memory. So with HIGH this means that virtual memory file has to be about 7.5 GB per card!

This video gives a good hint, how to increase virtual memory size on your system (For lolMiner it should be more then the 16g in the video, but the way to set it is the same) :
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZL0m7tVt_DU

You could also try running less cards or --set-work-batch 2G instead of --set-work-batch HIGH in the beginning. Would like to know if this changes your cards from not working to working Wink

Edit: Other reason indeed can be some driver issue - there is reason, that on Windows the default is 2G instead of AUTO or HIGH ... just because we had some trouble with AMD driver ...
