Topic: Cast XMR miner - fixer (Read 253 times)

Tnx for the comment. Will add more features in next resease (the registry powertable, more info on mining, custom cast arguments and a server auto server switching in case the first server is down)
Please reportt if any bugs are found tnx

software works well, just a note though, you should have a more detailed layout for the actual mining process instead of only hash speed. also where can you add additional commands to castxmr? anyway to launch overdrive setting files before the miner starts to make sure the settings are accurate after a crash?

Well sure, to each its own

Point is why take the risk when you can do the same thing in a powershell script and you don't even need devcon.exe to reset vegas anymore.  Also NEVER use miners from untrusted sources.

Is it not a virus :/
It has bundeled the miners with exe files...so like every other miner it.

NO!  Just use this and avoid the virus.

Hi All

I made a few days ago a little helper app to fix some of the issues I was having with Cast XMR miner.
On Vega cards hashrate would drop down for no reason after some time.
Also before getting the "full power" of Vega cards, I would have to disable/enable the Vegacards in device manager on every startup.

CastFixer.exe features:

ver 0.1:
- Easy GUI interface
- Mines on cryptonight algo using the cast_xmr-vega miner
- Supports Vega56/64, RX series (470,480,570,580) that I tested
- Before starting it auto disable/enable Vega cards in device manager.
- Monitors current hash rate, if it drops under a definied hash amount the miner do a "soft restart"
- If a "Soft restart" does not work, the app does a "hard restart" (disabling/enabling automatically the Vega cards in device manager)
- Requires admin rights to do the hardware work. If you put it to start with windows it is best to disable UAC - this is how I do it, so it dosen't ask for admin rights again.
- Requires .Net 4.5 framework from Microsoft

*If you have a multi-GPU system - make sure to check the list of GPUs and their respective Cast miner Device IDs are setup property.

Any suggestions appreciated
