Live data from rbminer.net's monitoring central

RainbowMiner has advanced to v4.8.9.9 already - we have quiet a list of updates to announce (see below).
Most importantly we are proud to continuously provide our miners with the most up to date miners in a timely manner (automatic updates). The same applies for all the pool modules. Every API is kept up to date. The most interesting additions since the last release are miners to handle Dynex, dual and triple mining. Also some new pools (as requested by our users) made it to our list: Ekpool, Ethwmine, Molepool, Pmpmining, RaptoreumZone, RPlantSolo (the solo mining edition of the RPlant pool module), Vipor. If you ever feel that an important pool is missing, please simply add an issue on Github. I will evaluate and in case quickly add the pool. Regarding the core updates, you can see, that we work relentlessly to provide a most profitable tool for you.

If you plan to mine on Nicehash only, RainbowMiner comes with everything you will ever need. Just go through the setup and select Nicehash as the one and only pool and off you go.

So long, happy mining!

Finally, some good news for all Nvidia GPU owners that suffered from lower hashrates due to the LHR lock, this release brings along 100% LHR unlock with the most current versions of miners Trex and NBminer. Along with these two, a handful of the most prominent miners have been updated for improved hashrate and bugfixes. Also, we finally enabled dual-mining Eth + TON for Teamred.
On the pool side, ZergPool can be now used with SSL encrypted connections, too and Nicehash has switched to auto geolocation stratums. Some other pools needed some bugfixes and updates.
This time we had no bugs in our core to fix, very nice actually

Only the default database updates happened: DAG sizes, pools and algorithms databases needed updates. Our recommendation for the PowerShell Core version has been updated to be v7.2.3

So long, happy mining!

Oh, and don't get scared by the current market downturn. Mine + Hodl = sleep well

This release of RainbowMiner finally brings back dual-mining support. Even though that the times of Ethash as PoW are counted, it's currently most profitable to do some dual-mining with it, on your GPUs. Especially mining for ETH + some TON looks very promising. The up-to-date versions of Gminer and Lolminer give us all the tools we need - and of course RainbowMiner fully supports the dual mining, including individual intensities and even dual mining during times, when you rig is being rented out at MiningRigRentals, giving you some extra profit.
Many more miners have been updated, most notably, we have integrated the Neoscrypt-Xaya algorithm into the newest CcminerKlausT release. Teamblack supports more pools. And so many more. Have a look onto our list below.
Our pool modules have gotten a lot of rework and fixes - with most pools now supporting real privacy with SSL stratum connections, ZergPool, Zpool and MiningRigRentals included. A handful of now offline pools have been removed from our repo, but also, some new pools have been added (ViaBTC, Tonpool, ToncoinPool, TONWhales, ...)
Finally, and as always, we have done a lot of work to our core program. New parameters, better fastlane-benchmarking, bugfixes, ...

Happy mining!

After a couple of very turbulent weeks, with very high highs and some bitter lows regarding the BTC price, we proudly announce our new RainbowMiner release v4.7.8.8. Most major miners have been updated and three miners have been added: the opensource FIRO miners and the closed source RTM miner CpuminerWyvern. Notably is, that some of the ETH miners now supply LHR unlocking. Of course we implemented LHR detection into our RainbowMiner core, so that we can switch on these miner's unlocking mechanism automatically.
Since the Ghostrider/Take2 algorithm mining that RTM coin became quit profitable, we decided to add two new RTM-only pools, the Flockpool and the Minafacil pool. Also brand new: a simple switch allows to lower the ZergPool's fee from 0.5% to 0.3%: just set "ReduceZergPoolFee" to "1" in config.txt and RainbowMiner will refer your rig to ZergPool thus decreasing the fee automatically. That's a price reduction of 40%.

Our core code has got some big additions and reworks:

all solo mining pools are now enhanced by time-to-find, difficulty and a new profitability scheme
overclocking Nvidia GPUs includes locking of core and memory clock, now
proxy usage has been reworked
the webinterface includes setup pages for pools and coins
the webinterface includes a JSON editor for all config files

... and many more fixes, additions and updates. Just have a look at our changelog.

Happy mining!

Say welcome to the brand-new RainbowMiner release v4.7.6.6 - on our list are tons up updates, upgrades and also some bugfixes.
Almost all major miners have got an update, most notably the Ethash-speedster Teamblack, which now comes in v1.19. Almost all bigger miner projects have implemented the FIRO hardfork algorithm FiroPow, which will kick in within the next 24 hours.
We have added Crazypool, KuCoin, Minerpool and a special 2Miners-autoexchange module, with Ethash mining only and autoexchange to BTC or NANO.
The list of upgrades and bugfixes is loooong, so let me highlight only a few: complete rework of the HttpClient base class to finally get rid of Window's port exhaustion problem, complete rework of the proxy handling, multiple nice new parameters in config.txt, pools.config.txt and scheduler.config.txt.

Again - many thanks to our community for their enhancement ideas, issues, help and support.

Happy mining!

This update mainly brings our most important miners up to speed. This is especially true for the newly added Teamblack miner (written bei sp_), which turned out to be a real speedster regarding Ethash/Etchash mining. As you can see on our monitoring page, this miner is already running on more than 8% of all rbminer.net - connected rigs worldwide. RainbowMiner is currently the only profit switcher, that has this miner integrated and running for it's users. As promised, I'll stay on top with the updates.
More miners got a recent update (mostly to boost the Nvidia 30xx LHR cards): Gminer, Lolminer, Nanominer, NBminer, Trex and Wildrig. Xmrig has been updated with the newest CUDA plugin v6.15.1, which finally solves the "out of memory" error on non-CryptoNight algorithms.
And finally, PowerShell Core has been updated to v7.1.4.

So long, happy mining!

With this update, we update four miners - basically optimizing LHR unlocking for Ethash, plus improving KawPow. I would like to highlight the new Teamblack miner. It's recent update to v1.03 improved the miner's performance and fixed a good handful of bugs. sp_ gave us a truly fast Ethash/Etchash miner at hand.

Happy Mining!

Crazy times for miners - the price for BTC has seen 50k USD again, Ethereum slowly steps towards POS.
And all that time, we continously stay up to date with new miners (SP has published his new Teamblack miner), update to all popular existing miners. The same applies to our pool modules (thanks to the help of our users, which open new issues on Github and start discussions on our Discord-server).
The changes to the core and fixes of RainbowMiner are numerous, just read through the list below. One major highlight: it's now possible to mine on Intel GPUs, as well.

Happy mining!

This is mainly a miner-update. Highlights: Gminer has improved it's DAG generation for Ethereum mining, Teamred now mines Verthash, as well.
Also, we have now updated our databases (and pool modules), so that RainbowMiner can now handle FLUX (renamed from ZEL).

Happy mining!

Many miners have been updated. Notably, xmrig has added support for Uplexa (cn/upx2) algorithm and Teamred now mines verthash, too. Most of the other miners fixed bugs, lowered CPU usage and improved hashrates. On the pool side, we say bye-bye to Blazepool, since it seems to be offline since some time. What we really came to love are unMineable pool (mining for coins, that cannot be mined) and ProHashing (autoexchange to many coins with unique pay-per-share). SuprNova has added optical bitcoin (OBTC).
Our core software got some enhancements, optimizations and bugfixes (again many thanks to our community!). Plus, the linux release now comes with a set of cuda 11.3 libraries.

Happy mining!

We have some exciting new additions to our pool repertoire: Ezil.me, which allows for dual mining of ZIL and ETH/ETC, then the autoexchange pool ProHashing.com, which claims to be the "The most trusted and profitable cryptocurrency mining pool". And finally unMineable, which makes it possible to mine coins, that aren't mineable, like TRX or BTT and many others. You send them Ethash, KawPow or RandomX hashrate and in return you get these coins.
Beside this, most of the major miner developers have updated their product, as well. We have all the updates, always quick and in-time.
Some new parameters and updates have been added to the RainbowMiner core, plus, we have fixed some smaller bugs-n-glitches, thanks to our growing community for finding and reporting these.

Happy mining!

The brand new release v4.7.0.2 is out. The past weeks, lots of lots of changes in the multiple pools kept me busy, as well as a bunch of interesting miner updates, that needed integration. If you are a Binance user and have a lot of wallets with them, you now have the possibility to add API data to RainbowMiner. All your wallets will then magically appear. Lastly, finally, after some pretty long nights of work, I managed to get rid of an annoying Powershell bug: some rigs would simply stop updating the pool and currency data randomly, because Powershell's HttpClient crashed. We now have cURL as replacement at hands. So if you happen to have that problem in the future, just switch to cURL.

So long. Happy mining!

Curious to know more about how the MRR setup works.

If I have MRR and another pool selected, will the system know to use the other pool as the "non rental pool" on my rigs to mine on when they are not rented at MRR??

Of course - your rig will mine away on all selected non-rental pools. As soon as a renter picks your rig on MRR, RainbowMiner will switch over to the rental. At the end of the rental, normal mining will resume.

With this release, I have updated all major databases, starting from the algorithms, downto the pool infos. Regarding miners, SrbMiner managed to improve Autolycos2 mining speed, again. And thanks to one RainbowMiner user, we found out, that CryptoDredge fails to run, if started within a VM (like QEMU or VMware). To avoid this problem, I have added a VM check for Windows and Linux.

Happy mining!

Wow, what a year!

The past 6 months have
a) shown, that crypto is really going main stream
b) proven, it's still very profitable to let your GPUs and CPUs mine for you
c) not decreased my workload a bit.

I have continuously updated all integrated miners to their most current versions, even some new miner programs have arrived. One very promising candidate is for sure the Verthash miner v0.6.2 - it brings old GPUs with small memory to new life and profitability. This is especially good, because Ethereum's DAG size is now way beyond the 4GB.

Thanks to our active RainbowMiner community on https://github.com/rainbowminer/RainbowMiner and on https://discord.gg/DUJqjfk4, I was able to keep up with the ever changing pool APIs. Most of our integrated pools got their updates in time. Just have look at the changlog, below ;-)

Finally, I have heavily improved the Linux compatibility and implemented tons of good enhancement. Again, credits go to our community, that don't stop with superb ideas.

Happy mining!

This release comes with some breaking news! We finally managed to fully integrate MiningRigRentals.com: it has never been easier to rent out your rig. Just activate MiningRigRentals, set your API credentials and RainbowMiner will take care of the rest. Rigs will be created and updated at MRR completely automatic.

KawPOW has arrived in our systems, we welcome three new pools to our ever growing collection (Ravepool and Sunpool for GRIMM mining, and Hellominer). We updated many major and minor miners, including devfee free Xmrig 6.0.1 beta, Phoenix, Trex, Gminer and many more. TTminer has been updated to v5.0.2 runs with 0% developer fee, now.

Our RainbowMiner localhost webinterface grows, especially the online setup page has evolved a lot.

Happy mining!

I hope you are all healthy and still in good mood. Being locked-in does not stop us from mining nor from keeping RainbowMiner uptodate, so here are some highlights, coming with the new release v4.5.5.2: all major miners got an update, especially, TTminer, Gminer (and soon Trex) will support the new KawPOW!! Ravencoin algorithm. RainbowMiner is setup to switch to the new RVN mining algorithm on 6th May automatically, so you don't need to care. Three new pools made it to our inventory: 6Block, Equipool and Solopool. Finally, we put lot's of effort into the linux version of RainbowMiner, many fixes and updates have been implemented.

Happy mining,

RainbowMiner
