v6 should run with same config as v5, eh? Not working yet, says "EXAMPLE_BTG" not found in config file etc...

"EXAMPLE_BTCZ" :
   {
      "COIN" : "BTCZ",
      "POOLS" : [

Thx for feedback
By the way: are you using the hive version? I modded the existing one for 0.5 for 0.6, but had no chance to test it. So would be great to know if its working (If I remember correctly you asked about Hove some time ago )

Test 144,5 on ver 0.6 speed +3 
Good job

Hey Folks,

I just made the link to the first lolMiner 0.6 alpha release public.
You can find the new version here:

Readme: https://github.com/Lolliedieb/lolMiner-preview/blob/master/README.md
Release: https://github.com/Lolliedieb/lolMiner-preview/releases

Changes to 0.5 version:
- All algorithms removed except Equihash 144/5
- Faster mining on 144/5 compared to 0.5 stable release
- 0.6 uses now only 1850 MB of GPU memory and thus works on 2G cards
- Initial tuning for Nvidia RTX 2000 series
- Improved API


Details about the new API:
lolMiner 0.6 comes now with full http headers for the API, so the mime type is correct. As far as
I know now all common browsers can show the API output correctly. This also helps getting the
API output with tools like curl or any mining watchdog.

To call the api you now need the address /summary, e.g. localhost:8080/summary if your API port
was 8080. The preview version is not yet implementing the new 0.6 API in full (but the subset send
will not change in format). Next days I will put a list online with all the planned changes.

Note:
under /summary_trim you can find a API output where all white spaces and line-breaks are removed.
May help for some tools.

Speed estimates in new version (Equihash 144/5 only):
AMD:
RX 580: 27-29 sol/s
RX 560: 14 sol/s

Nvidia:
GTX 1080: 53-56 sol/s
GTX 1070: 40-45 sol/s
GTX 1060: 26-30 sol/s
more values to be added when available

Some results from tuning experiments:
AMD:
Clock is not so important here, memory bandwidth seems to be the key.
Tested setting was: 1200 / 1850 with -0.1v core and -20% power target

Nvidia:
lolMiner scales better with available compute power then most competitors.
(For example I saw it usually faster then ewbf for 1080 but slightly slower on
1070 cards, because the balance of compute power and memory bandwidth
is different between the two cards. )

Try to undervolt to get less energy consumption, but try to find settings
so that clocks do not drop too sharp. Setting a low power target without
undervolt may kill the performance.
Setting for the 1080 above were founders edition stocks. 1070 was tested at
70% PT and at stock clocks. 70% PT without undervolt gave 42 sol/s, stock
clocks 45 sol/s.

Whats coming next:
In the next versions I want to extend the API and implement a new work scheduler
which hopefully fixes the problems with more then 5 GPUs and reduces CPU load.
*Crossing fingers*
Also I want to apply the algorithm changes to the other algorithms as well and add
them successively to the alpha version

Usually the run_miner_with_restart.bat file should do exactly what you requested - unless it does not work as it should.  Can not check this because need a crash for this 

hi dev,
can u tell me how to auto restart miner in the line start.bat after crashed?

Hey guys, imao it is time for a



So, whats going on:

1. I just updated both file archives (Bugfix)

The bug making problems with ZEL, ANON and others is fixed. The updated binaries are in the links on the start side post. So, from now you again can just use --coin ZEL and so on for mining. Sorry for the problems you had with this.


2. We are on HIVE OS
lolMiner was recently added as a custom miner to HIVE OS. See here for loading the package:

https://forum.hiveos.farm/t/custom-miner-lolminer/8135

Configuration notice:
The default is "COIN" : "BTG" and "DEVICES" : "AMD" in the package. To mine any other coin you must add "COIN" : "" to the "Extra Config Arguments" field. Overall this field uses the same style as the config file (Json). Please do not use --parameter VALUE there. This will likely make the miner just not run

Note: I already forwarded the bugfix from first news point to the Hive team. It should be updated there as well soon.


3. lolMiner 0.6 Casting its First Shadows
Well it took me a while thinking about how I will do the next release. Last time doing a long coding phase and then release all at one bang was too problematic, because too many bugs remained uncovered during that process. But I also was not able to spend more time for testing, because of running out of personal time (I have to do other jobs beside, because currently lolMiner does not return me enough bugs to work on this exclusively).

So I decided to do it differently this time: 0.5 will remain the stable version for the next weeks. The same time I will put up a github with ready to use binaries for 0.6 alpha versions and use the git bug tracker for getting rid of bugs. The first version will have some changes in the API and already come with new 144/5 mining codes. The other codes will miss in first version.
Next I will then implement the new mining main loop that hopefully reduces CPU demand and fix problems with >5 GPUs and then I will successively add the other mining codes. I think it is a good idea to do so, because this way those who want to profit from first changes can do early but help me to get bugs out for all others later.

Release of first alpha snapshot will be later this week.

And now answering your questions:

Miner is running and submitting shares, but hashrate is 0.00 at pool site.

Am I missing something in my bat file? Thanks,

lolMiner.exe --algo 144_5 --coin auto144_5 --pool us.voidr.net --port 2001 --user t1QwdYvNAtTiBL52QSUeqwADrJh7bz6gR2y.Rig2 --pass minpayout=50 --pers ZelProof

See manual. --pers is the wrong option in lolMiner But also you just can update to the bugfix release and switch back to --coin ZEL

v 0.5 ~ 20 h/s per card
v 0.41 ~ 12 h/s per card

Great to see the improvements worked - hope we can add an other few sol/s on top soon

Hello,

Only today I installed lolminer 0.5, the difference is significant compared to lolminer 0.41
/
v 0.5 ~ 20 h/s per card
v 0.41 ~ 12 h/s per card

I have 5x RX 470 strix asus 4gb

I add a screen in link with lolminer 0.5, in total ~ 100h / s at 580W, earlier in lolminer 0.41 ~ 60h / s at 500W

Thanks for lolminer 0.5

update.... so I prayed more earnestly and did another restart and now all 6 cards are digging. Thank you Lord!

Thanks. Its working with your suggestion.

I just heard of this - all I can tell so far is that you are not the only ones, but seems only to happen on 144/5 algo. What works (atm) is use Auto144_5 profile and custom personalization string (see manual) ... I will see why this happens and try to come up with a solution asap.

Im getting the same problem now, just happened over night. Nothing was changed on pc.

Hello. Why miner stuck here?
https://i.imgur.com/3Xh5X9f.png

It can't connect to pool?

No need to quote all the announcement ^^

Well lets start. On the 1st screenshot I see you use the wrong (old) command line format with -parameter= ... it should be

Code:

--coin GENX --pool genx.eu .... and so on ;)

As for the 2nd screen I have to admit I do not know why this happens. But from first guess: The 940M could just return its done to slow here - just from numbers it will likely only do 1-2 sol/s and therefore I think the GPU scheduler detects it as stuck because it does not report enough sol/s to my stuck detection mechanism. To be honest I would not mine with a 64 bit DDR3 mem bus + mobile GPU. Not worth the energy for keeping the notebook on all the time.

@toyo87 are you seriously trying to mine with a GeForce 940M? As far as i know its a mobile GPU and its always a bad idea to mine on a laptop xD. And i also don't think that lolliedieb (or any other mining coder) should consider to try to include such GPU's

that said, i will try to run the lolminer on this coin and check if it mines, as soon as i find out how to get a wallet and stuff


edit:


so tried to mine with lolMiner, seems to work just fine. But i would still recommend the EWBF miner for Nvidia cards, for this algo i'm getting about 6 sol/s more with the same OC settings. I think the EWBF miner utilizes somehow more memory, the "Memory Controller Load" section of GPUZ shows about 20% less load with the lolMiner.

are you undervolting your cards? if so, try giving them more power, or lower your clocks.

Sounds good, Lolliedieb! It would be great if you could begin tweaking it to run well on Linux ROCm 1.9.x if you have time available. It seems like that's the direction AMD linux support is heading...

lolMiner just polls the OpenCL driver and asks for what cards are there and ready 2 run at the moment, nothing more. Its not an own routine, it just uses OpenCL standard functions. That said: I have seen this on my dev rig some time ago too. In the end it turned out to be a riser that somehow did not want as I did. But hard to say what causing this at your side.


Generally yes, but performance will be rather poor. Also only MNX and Aion will work because of only 1G of memory. So ... I have to admit I can not recommend doing so because unless you have free electricity the sol/s this old card (was low end in 2012!) will not justify turning your computer on for the time your mining.


By the way heavily working on 0.6 ... will take a while till its all done. But hope it will be great
