The summary of today’s news and statements

Regarding MinexPay cards
AML/CFT sections will be added to the website today
The first lot of cards will be sent out in September.
After you receive a card, there’s a possibility of 1-2 weeks long lag before you will be able to use them. We are working so that it won’t happen, but there’s a slight chance it still might.
The card price is fixed. If the price of MNX grows to the point where the card price becomes not competitive, we are going to reconsider it.
The card issuer will be announced next week
Their are no additional fees for currency conversion. (Foreign exchange fee 0%)
Card deliveries are free and will be done worldwide, with only exceptions being Crimea Region of Ukraine, Cuba, Iran, North Korea and Syria.

Minexcoinからいくつかの発表が行われています。

新たなサイトの作成、ブランドの変更、ホワイトペーパーの一新、新たなアドバイザーのなど・・・

中でも個人的に注目しているのはMinexcoinに関心を示しているパートナーとの対談。
Electronic Arts(EA)の創設者『Jeff Burton』が興味を示している模様。EAってあの大手ゲームメーカーとして有名なのEAですよね。
これが本当だとしたらとんでもないニュースですね。。。

Blockshow Americaにも出席予定のようで。Minexcoinからますます目が離せませんね。

Hi there,

I just updated the miner to version 0.41

Here are the download links:

[Lin 64] Click me (0.41 for Linux)
[Win 64]  Click me (0.41 for Windows)


And here are the changes (hope I get all):

Windows Version:
- Switched from a mingW64 to a visual studio based build. This should remove the majority of the Windows bugs / random crashed

Coins:
- Added support for HeptaCoin (HEPTA)

Api:
- Added some new fields (total sol/s and pool information where the RIG is connected)
- Fixed the Windows API stability bug

Features:
- The miner now supports automatic user names. The parameter "RIGNAME" (in config file) or -rigname= (in command line) set a name for the Rig. When now for any pool connection data at the "USER" field no "." is found the RIGNAME will be appended to the user name automatically. Instead when a "." is found, RIGNAME will be ignored.

- Extended the "DEVICES" parameter and also enables control of devices in command line. Now the miner is fully functional to be controled over cmd. Especially the user now can select "DEVICES":"AMD" or "DEVICES" : "NVIDIA" to restrict to GPUs for one vendor (see manual for more details).

- Added the options "TIMEPRINT" and "SHORTACCEPT" to modify the console output. (See manual in section "Modify the Statistics Output")

- Added the options "CONNECTION_ATTEMPTS" and "RECONNECTION_TIMER" to modify the behavior of the failover support (See manual in section "Adjusting the Failover Pool Function")

- lolMiner can now change the kernel file search directory ("KERNELSDIR") and for the user_config.json (-usercfg= in command line). The paths can be absolute or relative to the current work directory. This allows to install the executable in some system search path and the other required stuff in a complete different location.


Known issues:
- Windows defender sometimes recognizes lolMiner.exe as virus. This is a false positive and Windows defender is the only search engine that I am aware of that does so (only one out of 67 virus search engines tested)

- Windows version may crash when hitting

• - better stop the miner by task manager or ctrl + c.

- The current mining code for Nvidia & MNX seems only to work well (fast) on GTX1080 cards. Unfortunately the older one does not work directly in miner framework. I will now be on vacation for a week but will try to fix this ASAP.

- The API can not be displayed in Chrome. No idea why, but Firefox and Internet Explorer did well, on Windows, Linux and Android mobile.

Hi folks,
this is the announcement thread for lolMiner v0.4 (July 22, 2018) .

So what is this miner good for: at the moment it mines Equihash 144.5 (BTG, BTCZ, LitecoinZ, Safecoin, Snowgem, ZEL) and Equihash 96.5 (Minexcoin) OpenCL based, so for Nvidia and AMD.

The miner is kind of a successor to my Minexcoin (MNX) miner you can find here as well as the 0.38 preview miner for Equihash 144.5.

Here are the changes over the last versions:

Changes (generally):

- Introduced a simple api (see manual)
- The miner now supports running on mixed rigs (see quickstart guide)
- The miner supports multiple algorithms in one software

Changes (from lolMiner-mnx 0.34)

- Improved performance: About 24% for AMD and 21% for Nvidia
- New configuration file format
- New work-batch options (see manual)

Changes (from lolMiner-144.5 0.38 Preview)
- Integrated ZelCash (ZEL)
- Improved driver and GPU compatibility – now it should work with any OpenCL 1.1 enabled GPU that has enough memory.
- Slightly improved performance: Approx 2-3% on Nvidia and 10-11% on AMD


If you do not want to read much more long descriptions, here are the download links:
[Lin 64] Klick me (0.4 for Linux)
[Win 64] Klick me (0.4 for Windows)

Setup:

There is a quickstart guide and a manual for detail settings shipped with the miner. Read that carefully and it should work. Else feel free to ask here


F.A.Q. and known Issues:

The AMD miner for 144.5 is slow…
Well, I know that. The code needs a massive re-structure to make it fly - I will try so soon

The Windows miner crashes…
… from time to time. This is because the Windows version is a cross build with pretty old runtimes. This will be resolved soon (hopefully). In the meantime head out for a Windows watchdog I will provide next days that mitigates the problem.

My coin with Equihash 144.5 is missing...
Oh, sry, maybe I just was not aware of this. Drop me a note here with the required details and I will add is very quickly. This is a rather quick action

How much is the fee?
Equihash 144.5 coins start at a 2% fee (to be lowered with 0.41 or 0.42) and MinexCoin runs at 1% fee.

Does the miner disconnect for fee?
No, I has two connections open all of the time and does every x iterations one iteration for me. That way the mining income remains smooth. Also the displayed sol/s are net with fee already calculated out, so what you see is what you get.

Why JSON for configuration? Why? Whyyyyy?
Huuusshhh. Just be careful with setting ',' and all will be good. When used to it, it is a very need way to configure the miner, you will see.

Finally its there: A new version of lolMiner ^^   

More concretely: 0.34 is there


Similar as in the past I did not plan to do this version, but the changes I planned for 0.4 were too fundamental and so well – I wanted to have this intermediate version with its fixes done before.

Here are the download links:
[Lin 64] Click me (0.34, Linux) MD5 of package: 4b6a86481177fe4d09e4dcc71fe20828
[Win 64] Click me (0.34, Windows) MD5 of package: 27075cf216144bc4f47fc139b1fdb7e7


So, what is new:

Windows only: A new watchdog.
This version of lolMiner comes with a watchdog script written in power shell. Basically it detects when the miner is stuck / has 0 sol/s and so on and can restart it if required. You can start it by clicking run_miner.cmd while the old run script is also on board.

To configure the new watchdog you have to edit the watchdog-lolminer-v0.34.ps1 file. Especially you should give the name of your config file in the beginning.

The watchdog is able to reboot the rig after a certain number of miner restarts. To enable this feature you have to set $global:allowReboot=$true in the header of the watchdog on line 18. For the reboot feature to be effective you should place the watchdog in your auto-start.

Also you can allow it do do a screen shot on every crash by setting  $global:allowScreenshot=$true on line 19. The parameter in line 18 controls the number of restarts before the watchdog closes itself or reboots the rig.

In order to handle 0 sol/s cases the watchdog will require admin rights on your computer when it starts. This allows the watchdog to reset your GPU drivers before a new restart attempt. Because of this we made the watchdog open source so you can verify it does no harm to your system.

Fixed a bug in stratum code:
Before the miner got stuck when the first pool in list was not avaiable. This is fixed now. Also the miner no longer closes when the first pool reports an authorization of miner problem, but it now tests all failover pools in a row before exiting due to missing authorization

Changed behavior of –exit-on-zero
Well … did not find a better headline for this. The parameter –exit-on-zero does not exist any more / has no effect. Instead when the miner detects that a GPU did not come back from a mining task properly it will print an error message and close. The same is true when a device does not finish a task for more then 30 seconds.

New internal stratum behavior
The stratum code now monitors for shares not tested (if they are below target) or not submitted. When there was no single share tested for a minute or no share submitted for 10 minutes, the miner will stop working and close itself, so the restart scripts or the Windows watchdog can restart it.

New parameter: --continue-on-error
This is the counterpart to the above two described changes. If this parameter is set the miner will continue working even when an error occurred.
New parameter: --stats-digits
This will set the number of digits printed in statistics messages. E.g. if you set it to 0 the decimal delimiter and everything behind will be cut of. The default is 1.

Slight changes in work management
The change is something I wanted to test for 0.4. Basically it now tries to do the transfer from and to the cards asynchronously. Especially on AMD cards this helps reducing the difference in speed between –work-batch HIGH and AUTO and lower values. Higher is still mining faster but the difference to lower values is now smaller

New parameter: --disable-double-buffer
This is the counterpart to the work management change. For some drivers (the open source Clover OpenCL drivers on Linux) this is required because not all drivers support the change.  

New parameter: --disable-suprnova-for-fee
This parameter is meant to remove the suprnova pool from the list of fall-backs for the miners dev fee. Reason is that this pool is blocked in some countries and that the miner may get stuck on an ISP block of this pool.

lolMiner-mnx now got a license.txt file
Well that was required xD

lolMiner-mnx now displays proper AMD device names
Well its not yet perfect, but I think “Radeon RX 470/480; RX 570/580” is better then “Ellesmere” - but I may be wrong ^^


I hope you have fun with this release. I will now prepare the next steps. As said the planned changes to 0.4 are rather massive, therefore it may take some time.
