So ... took a while, but
lolMiner 1.0 is ready to go
You can download it
here.
Note:
lolMiner changed configuration scheme a bit, since I did a very deep rework on the internal stuff behind it.
That said:
- --port is no longer supported! Please use --pool : scheme instead
- For using failover pools: You now can use --pool, --user and --pass multiple times in cmd. They will be processed in order of appearance
- You now can select the algorithm directly. For this --algo (-a) is a new parameter. Use --list-algos for getting a list of supported algorithms and if they need / support personalization (--pers). --coin is still supported, but now used for more special functions and some selected projects
- There is a new, more simple config file format that just uses same parameters as cmd. That said with --json and --profile you still can import the old format if you liked that more
This is only a small set of the changes. In doubt read the new help function (-h) or the growing
online manual.With regard to new algorithms: Support for Cortex and the new Grin-C29M solver was already given with the last alpha versions of 1.0.
New in this release is
- Support for Beam Hash III (use --coin BEAM for auto for routine from Beam Hash II to III or --algo BEAM-III to select it manually)
- I re-enables Beam Hash I (--algo BEAM-I) with support for personalization (--pers). This should allow mining Beam forks like XGM or DEFIs.
For any questions: feel free to ask
-------------------
We all know the 17.8 Beta Crimson Blockchain Driver was the best driver. I just wish AMD will update the Blockchain Driver to a 2020 edition since more are interested now in GPU mining. It is just more better for mining rigs.
I don't believe Adrenaline Drivers completely have what the Blockchain driver had, what was introduced to it. Cos I have some rigs with the same particular brand of RX 580 GPUs that run perfectly with the Blockchain Driver with good hashrates, but go crazy and/or low hashrate when I install the 2019 or 2020 edition Adrenaline drivers with compute mode settings.
They have it all - the compute mode is pretty much what the Beta driver introduced. The only problem is that some miner devs did not recompile their miners for newer drivers (one older Monero miner was famous for this) and thus some miners did not work with the more recent versions. But technically the newer drivers can do everything the blockchain driver can
