Hey folks, just released
lolMiner 0.6 alpha 4You can find the download here:
https://github.com/Lolliedieb/lolMiner-preview/releases/tag/alpha4Change log:
MNX AMD 96/5 code changed- improved performance on AMD by approx 6%, 580 4G stock now at approx 13700 sol/s
- reduced memory consumption, so work batch can be chosen higher
Reworked stratum interface- More connection stability
- Better response time
- A new target is now only shown when it is really different from the previous
- Slight change to internal AUTO144_5 routines (better support)
Reworked mining code- When more then 4 GPUs are used, more host side miner threads will be launched
- (Aiming to improve stability for >4 GPUs)
- Statistics are moved to API / statistics module
- Some small bug fixes (e.g. miner now runes fine with the remaining GPUs when some GPUs fail the compatibility check)
The most important here is the new stratum and mining code on host side. The stratum interfaces are now much more stable, especially the alpha 3 AION problems are fixed.
I hope some miner with more then 4 GPUs can test the new mining side code - I hope to have at least one of the instability issues with many GPUs fixed.
Awesome Miner news:Also had a recent discussion with the awesome miner team. They are looking into this release and we will pushing 0.6 integration forwards.
Hive OS news:lolMiner 0.6 series is moved into Hive OS 6 core. Currently the release is using alpha 3 but will be updated to alpha 4 soon.
One important note when moving from HIVE 5 to 6: The miner now uses the command line to pass parameters to the miner. So extra argument field now now uses the --param value syntax instead of "PARAM" : VALUE .
Nicehash news:As some may have noticed nicehash recently added Equihash 144/5 (what they label wron as ZHash, because ZHash is rather the name of 144/5+BTCZ personalization).
Anyways, you can mine there with alpha 4 by using
--coin AUTO144_5 --pool zhash..nicehash.com --port 3369 --user
Note: In one test I observed approx 2% rejected shares. I parsed the return code and see they claimed the share was above target, but verified multiple times it was in fact below (although close to the the target). Will investigate it further and contact nicehash team when needed.
Future plan:If the changes work smoothly I will go through some of the codes again to speed them up and we will have 0.6 final the next 10 to 14 days
Stay tuned.

hey I got this on some older smaller rigs its working perfect I am happily mining I just noticed one problem hope u can help
When I lose connection for even a second miner recconects without problems and continues mining but worker wont show again on pool no matter what so each time I get dc I need to manually restart miner and then it shows on pool normaly I am using btg pro pool hope this post can help us
Hello, this is same problems. Lost connection and authorised 5 sec. Mining BTG pool pro. Lolminer v 0.6 alpha 2
Ping the server eu.btgpool.pro lost 6 %
Ping the google.com lost 0 % !!!
Problem on server pool BTG! overloaded ?
My rig2 Gminer 1.10 minig BTG pool connection lost!
Sorry bad english
EDIT: set lolminer --waitforrewind 1
will help keep the connection
Check out the new version - it now should continue fine. The waitforrewind is a two edged blade - it resets some internal timers in the failover support code. Its better when it works without touching this parameter.
