It's time for an update

Many prominent miners have been updated, including Gminer, XmrStak and CryptoDredge, also we have an interesting addition: NBminer v22.3 joins our Cuckaroo-force. It's now the third miner that has officially added Cuckaroo29s to mine Swap/XWP.
To make it much more easy to start mining special coins (like e.g. XWP Swap), right out of the box, I have reworked our setup wizard.
Also, a very new feature "PostBlockMining" has been added to furthermore improve your profitability by catching blocks-in-a-row on many pools.

Happy mining!

There is almost no day without an updated miner, currently. At the moment, there is a strong trend towards additional CPU mining, since more and more projects try to create ASIC resistant algorithms. Therefor I took great care to add and update the most important CPU miners for this release.
Also, Phoenix has updated to 4.2c, with improved Ethereum mining and Bminer vs. Gminer are in a Cuckaroo29 battle.

Happy mining!

Hi!

How can I setup RM to mine SWAP?

Thx!

- choose a pool for XWP mining (CryptoKnight, Fairpool, Herominers, Luckypool, PocketWhale)
- either use the build-in configuration to add XWP address to that pool or edit pools.config.txt and enter "XWP": "yourswapwalletaddresshere",
- make sure that Cuckaroo29s is on the "Algorithm" list in config.txt (or clear that list for all algorithms)
- make sure the selected pool is on the "PoolName" list in config.txt
- make sure the selected pool is not on the "ExcludePoolName" list in config.txt (or clear that list. It's not necessarily needed)

With this release, I introduce notifications: if you decide to use the monitoring service on https://rbminer.net you may now be notified, if one of your rigs go offline. To get notifications, either enter an email address or use the https://pushover.net service (Android, iOS, PC) and enter your pushover user key in the config.txt.
Beside this nice feature, a handful of miners have been updated to the newest versions, including Xmrstak/Fireice, Xmrig, Bminer and TTminer. Also, I invested some time to cleanup the CPU miners and discovered some pretty interesting new candidates; have a look at Rhminer and nanominer and mine some PASC on F2pool or Nanopool. It's pretty profitable, right now.

Happy mining!

So many changes that I wouldn't be able to follow on my own, thanks for doing this job once for all your miners. All we have to do is double click your shortcut! Well... after going through the long settings once...
You certainly deserve your dev fee!

My only fear is, what if a miner is infected and I download it automatically in my system? I have like 3 devs I trust but Rainbow miner is using soooo many different miners.
It's an unavoidable risk I suppose?

Thank you

I am mining since years with changing rigs and hardware, but luckily I never ever had a virus infection on any of them.
Anyway, there is always a minimum risk left over, regarding a virus infection. To keep the risk low, I do check all miners against hashes, after download and before upload. Also, I analyse them systematically in a sandbox environment. If anything weird is showing up, the miner will not be added.

Good news, we finally added two of the major pools in the asia region: F2pool and Sparkpool made it into our library. Gminer added more speed to it's Cuckaroo29/Cuckatoo31, as well as bminer. Also, most Cryptonight miners, like Xmrig, XmrStak/Fireice and Srbminer updated their code to reflect current and upcoming forks.

Happy mining!

Hi dev, can you make your miner fully support the latest stable drivers (Adrenalin 2019 Edition 19.1.1) ?

The software itself should work, no matter which drivers. Some of the build-in miners might crash on the new adrenalin edition. But that should be no problem, since the watchdog will disable them during benchmark.

XmrigCpu? Is this still around?
I have an 8600k, well cooled. From your experience, is there any CPU-minable coin that's profitable? I wouldn't mind mining with my GPU and CPU at the same time.

Barely, but yes, it is still profitable. Currently the best options are to mine m7m or YescryptR16.
Those may be mined in parallel to most of the GPU miners. If mininig together with Cuckaroo miners, it will reduce the CPU mining speed.

I had it set to "europe" and now I changed it to "eu" in order to try the outcome... it's still connecting to the US pool so I guess there's a bug in the function which calls the grinmint.ps1 ? By the way, what language is that? It looks like JavaScript but the dollar symbol which is probably used to declare variables isn't part of JavaScript. Maybe C# which I've never used?

Thank you for bringing this up! The Grinmint stratum problem should be solved with the newest release v3.9.8.4.

To answer your question: RainbowMiner is programmed, using Powershell and some parts using C#

And another subject... there's a trick I use in order to get a payment in a different coin than BTC. I guess it'd be too complicated to add this option since it'd require many changes on your program and I don't think many would be interested, but if you ever re-write part of the code, please have it in mind!

Right now this is my trick for anyone interested, step by step,

Go to the software's directory and find the config folder (\RainbowMiner\RainbowMiner\Config).
Open the "pools.config" file.
Find your pool of choice or all the pools you're using.
Change the part "BTC": "$Wallet" to the symbol of your altcoin of choice. For example: "RVN": "$Wallet"
If for whatever reason you prefer to use different coin payouts in different pools, just fill the corresponding coin symbol BUT ALSO manually add your wallet address, replacing the "$Wallet"
- Wherever there's the "$Wallet" variable, the program will use whatever wallet you've input in the miner's settings.

Yes, that should do the job - there is a simpler and more flexible way that allows you to keep BTC (for example to mine on Nicehash).

either use the build-in configuration (press C, then C) to add or edit a coin of your choice plus wallet (e.g. RVN) or edit the Config\coins.config.txt directly. I have added RVN and XMR as default/example already.
now edit the pools.config.txt and change the "BTC": "$Wallet", to "RVN": "$RVN" for every pool with autoexchange, that you would to be payed in RVN. The variable $RVN will be substituted automatically with the wallet address in coins.config.txt. You may use the build-in configuration (C, then P) to change the pool's wallets, too.

.. I will check the Grinmint pool. It should select the eu server over the us, if you have selected "eu" or "europe" as region. It doesn't matter, how you type the region. All region, algorithm and coin strings will be converted to some unique standard, internally.

Hello! Thanks for your awesome software!

I have only a small difficulty with grinmint. I want to mine in the EU server but it's mining on the US one.
I have no clue as to where to change that, other than going in the config file and manually setting it... but I don't want to do manual configurations that might get overridden with the next update.

Any better solution to that?

Thank you

Which is your default region?

Actually, if you are not in us nor in eu region, the software chooses for you. I will add a new setting to the configuration (Config\config.txt) where you may put a preferred region for pools that do not offer stratum hosts in your region.

RBM

I'm living in Europe and when I went to (S)ettings > (A)ll , I came upon the setting "Enter your region".
There I typed "list" and I noticed there are two options for Europe, one is "europe" and the other is "eu". Same with the United States, there's a USA and a US.

I opened the Grinmint.ps1 and on lines 39-44 there's the following code,

Code:

$Pools_Data = @(
    [PSCustomObject]@{port = 3416; region = "eu"; host = "eu-west-stratum.grinmint.com"; ssl = $false}
    [PSCustomObject]@{port = 4416; region = "eu"; host = "eu-west-stratum.grinmint.com"; ssl = $true}
    [PSCustomObject]@{port = 3416; region = "us"; host = "us-east-stratum.grinmint.com"; ssl = $false}
    [PSCustomObject]@{port = 4416; region = "us"; host = "us-east-stratum.grinmint.com"; ssl = $true}
)

I had it set to "europe" and now I changed it to "eu" in order to try the outcome... it's still connecting to the US pool so I guess there's a bug in the function which calls the grinmint.ps1 ? By the way, what language is that? It looks like JavaScript but the dollar symbol which is probably used to declare variables isn't part of JavaScript. Maybe C# which I've never used?
