todxx , does this update include/works on Nicehash too ? Recently they added Lyra2Rev3 too .


I have not tested on NH directly, but it should work just fine unless they've done something special for lyra2rev3.

Team Red Miner v0.3.9 released

https://github.com/todxx/teamredminer/releases

Changes in v0.3.9
  • Added support for lyra2rev3 on amdgpu-pro and windows. ROCm support coming in later version.
  • Fixed API bug with not reporting dead GPUs

Lyra2rev3 performance and power usage is looking good compared to other miners! Let us know what numbers you guys get!

@kerney666 lyra2v3 will be ready?

Hi guys! Hectic real life periods for the devs, hence the quiet times. Lyra2rev3 will be ready with 97% certainty, perf is looking good.

Awesome.  Looking forward to it.  Thanks.

You know, I googled around for 5 mins trying to find any reference implementation for that algo mostly because I'm curious. I can't find any open source code that defines what lyra2zz looks like. It might be lyra2z with a different block header, I have no idea. If the LAPO people can send over any form of spec, I can at least take a look, right now it's looking really shady imho.

Lyra2zz implementation: https://github.com/fancyIX/sgminer-phi2-branch/commit/3054ddaeadad5a3797f611872f4b298052a2273f

Hi are you planning to implement the new Stellite algorithm Cn/Half?

Have you guys looked at grin at all? Currently no good amd implementation... kerney you seem particularly good at making initial assessments on gcn viability for algos, what are your thoughts on the grin coin POW?

stupid q, but  Grin

put in start.bat teamredminer.exe --help and add pause, but miner just close. No help displayed, without pause same result.

What I'm doing wrong?

txs

Hard to say what you're doing wrong. If I put this in a .bat file in the same dir as the miner .exe, then double-click it in Windows explorer, I get the help page displayed and the expected pause:

File:
Code:
teamredminer.exe --help
pause

Output:
Code:
...
      --log_file=FILENAME   Enables logging of miner output into the file
                              specified by FILENAME.
      --help                Display this help message and exit.

C:\testing\teamredminer-v0.3.8-win>pause
Press any key to continue . . .

The --list_devices might have worked if the application window would stay open long enough to read anything, it closes in under 3 seconds though.

Attempted removing each gpu of 3 using the -d 0,1,2 cn_config etc..     Again, window closes to fast to even see an error message.

Please, I know there has got to be just some switch/call that will enable the application to bypass the unsupported device and stay open.

Closing so fast due to 1 piece of unsupported hardware being attached to the machine and giving no error message, that is surely a bug being re-branded as a feature anyway.

You need to learn to use the console/terminal, rather than just double clicking stuff w/ your mouse.  Run 'command prompt' (press the windows button or click on the windows icon, and type 'command' - then click on the 'Command prompt' item at the top of the list.) . Change to the directory of the miner software (type 'cd ' followed by path to your miner directory.)  Type the name of your start bat file, and press enter.  You'll see the output, including whatever errors occurred.

A window closing after the program has exited is not a bug of the miner - it's the way Windows (and most OS') work.

P.S.  I used to have a 7950 (and a 580) installed on a 6-vega rig running TRM - worked perfectly fine using -d to exclude those devices.
Or he could do it the easy way and put pause in the end of the bat file

Sure that's an option, though easier, esp for someone struggling w/ this concept, is arguable.  Also doesn't help w/ the fact that much of the documentation for this miner is only accessible via the help flag.

@kerney666, what about MTP algo, do you plan to add it?

The main part of MTP is dead simple, I'm truly amazed there aren't good open source miners out there already.

For the algos we add to this miner, we only select those where we truly feel we can add enough persistent value to warrant a higher-than-normal dev fee. MTP should/will have good miners shortly, or it's really an embarrasing fail for open source in crypto. Moreover, with the hack they've added with a binary stratum protocol to keep effective bandwidth down, this is a ton of work for us in this miner. Otoh, it would be very simple to add it to e.g. a sgminer clone. Last, I think AMD cards will have a hard time beating Nvidia from an efficiency perspective for this algo, which also means adoption might be much smaller than you'd hope for as a miner dev.

Given all this, the probability that we would ever get the time spent on MTP back is tiny, so we've opted not to do it. Tbh, if I had the time I would rather spend it on an open source implementation.
