Version 2.1 is out and much FASTER.

* Optimized RandomHash2 with up to 80% more speed. (On some system rhminer 2.1 is up to 250% faster than official miner)
* Fixed linux binary where main thread was exiting after miner startup.
* Linux zip files now contain rhminer as an executable and not a simple file.
* FIxed windows packages and removed extra folders

@Polyminer1

Here are my "average HRs".

4x Kali Linux.  1 Chrome OS (DEV) w/ Linux.

I have 1 more Chrome OS device, but (beta build for 7" GPD Pocket (Atom X7) the charger does not work while it's on.

Posting this for reference to v2.0

Thank you,

BTW:  I have looked into ANY way to disable the GPU to use the Intel HD only - 650 GT Apple Edition including BGA rework removal.  It's impossible to bypass it.  Stupid PCB layout.

Kali Lite on the MBP.  No difference.  Can't drop into the terminal.  Xwindows uses the nvidia graphics no matter what.

Thank you.

I have been using v2.0 with unbuffer.

It is was reliable if ran correctly.

V2 very fast and very stable BTW on 3 different CPU architectures.

@all the linux issues are fixed now.
There is no exit from main thread anymore and the zip files contain an executable now (no need to chmod +x) anymore.

How'd you run the miner--screen or tmux? Or just nohup?

There is no miner--screen anywhere.  I use Linux.  Is this a Windows question?  Windows/Mac OS doesn't even come with a proper SSH server/daemon.

Sorry for the confusion.

Oh dear. At first, '--' is a punctuation mark, we call it an 'em dash'. At second, screen and tmux are commonly used Linux terminal multiplexers. https://linux.die.net/man/1/screen, for example.

My mobile phone got rick rolled.  Chrome popups.  I reinstalled Chrome and installed Ad Buster.

-----

I ran ./rhminer from the terminal.  I didn't notice any issues. 

I am not new with Linux, just never heard of this out of millions of commands.

On Ubuntu, the unbuffer program (from the expect-dev) package did the trick for me. Just run:

unbuffer your_command

and it won't buffer it.


Found that online.  I guess that's the workaround for now.   Huh

Would you to handle SIGWINCH appropriately? There's a problem to run the miner inside the 'screen' tool.

I use  headless servers (on a budget).  I just SSH into them.

Does this affect me?  Seems to be running fine from remote terminal session.

Would you like to ignore SIGWINCH or handle the signal appropriately? There's a problem to run the miner inside the screen terminal multiplexer. I run miner with screen (screen -dmS yaddayadda), deattach screen, attach it back, then miner exits.

I found a workaround: run it with unbuffer command (man unbuffer).

RandomHash2.0 - Up to 110% Faster than official miner.

RandomHash2 for CPU Only.
Tested on Windows7, Windows 10, Ubuntu 16/18, MacOS.

Download on github
https://github.com/polyminer1/rhminer/releases/tag/2.0

Cheers
Polyminer1

Will try it out.  Currently using nanominer.  It boils my CPUs and the fees are a bit high.

Thanks!

Kali Linux binaries?  (kernel 5.3).

* EDIT:  I changed over.  Running on the open pool.  No issues.  6 hours average rate will have to ramp up (different config file with different worker names).

I still had 1.5.3v backup one those CPUs. 

Thank you.

Cheers.

Could you explain how to run this miner on MacOS?


I'm not the dev of this miner.

But I could not get it to run on macos.  I had an old MacBooks with old version.  Tiger, maybe Sierra.

The libraries were outdated.  Compiling from source was the only option, so I installed a different OS on that Mac then it ran fine.

You can use virtualization with hyperv extension enabled and run it in windows or Linux on top of macos.

HR drops when watching youtube in HD and using the computer, but no slowdowns.

Youtube's HD has a ridiculously toy bitrate of 1.5-4Mbps. I have no prob with that. But FullHD I spoke of is a BDRemux with 50Mbps bitrate. Like 15-35 times bitrate of yours.

Anyway, it's not about youtube or linux. The question is: relevance. "Low" should be like IDLE_PRIORITY_CLASS, not like BELOW_NORMAL_PRIORITY_CLASS. Idle thread is processed by the scheduler only when the system is idle and do not interfere with any upper priority threads. Below Normal thread, on the contrary, may interfere with Normal threads, especially when no user interaction is taken place.

-processpriority      On windows only. Set miner's process priority.
                        0=Background Process, 1=Low Priority, 2=Normal Priority, 3=High Priority.
                        Default is 3.

I tried to run rhminer with -processpriority 1 and noted that Task Manager does list rhminer as "Below Normal" prio. I found my Core I3 desktop somewhat laggy at that prio. I had to change prio to Low--manually--and it was good. Like FullHD playback without a hitch.

Dear @polyminer1, would you like to change processpriority option to be more accurate? Like 1=REAL Low Priority, not that Below Normal?

The way Windows prioritizes programs is a mess.
My opinion.  @polyminer1 is probably aware of that.

No slowdowns on Linux here while using the computer.

Version 1.5.3 - MacOS support and binaries, Reduced duplicate shares to zero, Cpu throttling option and remote api fixes
* Added MacOS support and binaries. (Tested on High Sierra and El Capitan)
* Added internal cpu throttling option to slow down mining.
* Fixed: Duplicate shares when pool mining.
* Fixed: EthMan API : sent config.txt was ignored when restarting miner on Linux.

Question.  Does this release [1.5.3] support randomhash2.  What I mean is it ready for the HF v5?

Thx...
