We have added Folding @ Home as "miner", it is intended for fighting with COVID-19 decease by providing compute workloads for solving potential vaccine https://foldingathome.org/2020/02/27/foldinghome-takes-up-the-fight-against-covid-19-2019-ncov/. When selected as coin[Folding at Home], set wallet name to none or something made up, same goes for pool, set hostname to non existing/non valid, it is not taken. If you have FaH passkey you can add it in advanced miner arguments[Miner profile] --passkey=yourpasskey .
!!! Warning !!!
All samples are downloaded in tmpfs so on reboots they do not persist, if you want to make it permanent - do not use usb drives and edit /opt/mmp/miners/foldingathome/mmp-stats.sh replacing storage="/run" with storage="/home" or some directory in non tmpfs.

This is not added for profit, so questions like "How do I get paid?" have simple answer - "You don't". You donate your compute resources for fighting not only with COVID-19 but other deadly deceases.
We will do everything we can to assist everyone who is willing to donate compute resources.
Stay safe, stay healthy, stay home and be responsible!

Thank you. I managed to expand. I also tried "swap --add" but it seems it only creates swap file of 524.284 MB, is there a way to increase it? I would like to test if it makes any difference.

Thanks.

Hello,
Linux does not need virtual swap space like windows. Regarding expanding its in ‘mmp help’ list - mmp expand via ssh.

Hi,

I flashed this into a 120GB SSD using Rufus and ended up with only about 10GB used and the other 110GB being un-allocated. Is there a way expand the OS into the remaining space?
I am looking to mine ETH on my Vegas and my understanding is that it benefits immensely from having large pages, hence why using the extra space would be nice.

Thank you.

Recommended miners for popular coins per platform:

NVIDIA:
Ethereum(ETH+ETC)  and forks -> ethminer by ethereum mining community(recommended by us), TT-Miner and gminer
GRIN29 -> gminer, nbminer and bminer
GRIN31 -> gminer, nbminer and bminer
BEAM -> gminer and miniZ
RVN -> t-rex and zenemy
ZCOIN -> TT-Miner(recommended by us), ccminer-mtp and t-rex


AMD:
Ethereum(ETH+ETC) and forks -> teamredminer(recommended by us) and ethminer
Cryptonote coins -> teamredminer(recommended by us), xmrig and xmr-stak.
GRIN29 -> teamredminer and lolMiner(both recommended by us)
GRIN31 -> teamredminer and lolMiner(both recommended by us)
BEAM -> lolMiner(recommended by us)
RVN -> teamredminer(recommended by us) and wildrig-multi
ZCOIN -> teamredminer(recommended by us), sgminer-fancyX and wildrig-multi

CPU:
Only suitable algorithm for now is RandomX which is currently supported on our platform by xmrig and xmr-stak-rx.
We support cpuminer-opt which has too many coins support but none of them is profitable by only CPU mining.

Disclamer: Some of recommended miners by us may not be the fastest but the developers behind them had proven trustworthy and we support them and their work.
Our personal recommendation should not be considered mandatory! You are free to use whatever miner you find best for your needs!


If you have found something better or more efficient, or performance wise, please do share your settings with us, we will really appreciate it!
Thank you!

# 30. November 2019 Update agent

With this release we introduce a completely new mining experience for your AMD RX Vega56/64 GPUs.

We created a special smart tune algorithm option called *compute heavy*, which reduces power usage without hashrate penalty for compute heavy algos like MTP, CNGPU, x16r/t/v2, x21, x22i, x25x and Lyra2RE.

Everything we do is driven towards success of our not so big community. We have put a lot of effort creating these features, so users save power and enjoy profitable mining again.
So, MMP OS community, **Thank you for staying with us and believing in us!** We will do our best to keep the pace in MMP OS development process.

We would like to say **Thank you** to teamredminer (https://github.com/todxx/teamredminer) developers(todxx and Kerney666) and their awesome community for creating their amazing miner and helping us become better!

We would also like to say **Thank you** to lolMiner (https://github.com/Lolliedieb/lolMiner-releases) developer Lolliedieb for his outstanding work and contribution to the mining community.

* Updated agent to 2.8.4
* Improved memory based smart tune for AMD and Nvidia
* MMPOS: added compute heavy smart tune for AMD Vega56/64
* MMPOS: optimized power usage for AMD Vega56/64

We already do. A few hours before the fork we will switch arguments line in advanced miner settings for xmrig from cn/r to rx/0, same goes for xmr-stak-rx.
RandomX was introduced with our CPU mining support a few weeks ago. You are welcome in our discord/telegram channels if you have any problems setting it up.

are you guys gonna support randomx?

# 08. November 2019 Update agent and experimental variant

This update makes AMD Navi cards fully supported if you use the experimental variant of mmpOS.
Navi is still not supported by all miners but you are now able to mine and overclock if you have compatible miner and switch to the experimental variant.

* Update agent to 2.8.3
* Support for Overclocking and voltage control of AMD Navi(RX 5500/5700) cards.

# 07. November 2019 Update agent

* Update agent to 2.8.2
* Optimized miner download verification (ensure hashfile is valid)
* Improved startup with unsupported GPUs, we now allow startup after a 60second retry phase even if detected pci devices do not match driver reported ones.

# 02. November 2019 Update agent + dashboard

This update introduces CPU mining. Similiar to multi-miner support, just add a cpu profile and start mining.
As with GPUs we provide metrics like Temperature and Voltage for recent CPUs as well.

* Updated agent to 2.8.1
* Added CPU worker support to agent and dashboard
* Added native xmrig protocol support
* Optimized AMD memory detection. (Navi and others are supported too)
* Fixed Hawaii and Fiji memory overclocking bug

# 25. September 2019 Update agent + dashboard

This update is a big one, we now support running multiple miner instances per platform (Nvidia, AMD and SQRL Acorn's).
So currently you can run up to 3 miners in parallel.

If you mine with multiple miner instances to the same pool, we recommend to add %miner_id% to your pool username.
It will suffix the username if miner instance is > 0 (so first miner will be rigname, second one rigname1)

Next step will be supporting CPU mining.

* Updated agent to 2.8.0
* Added multi-miner support to dashboard and agent
* Agent no longer queries fpgas for info. Every stat will now be gathered via miner.
* Added native ninjarig protocol support
* Added multiple new amd gpu and memory types to detection
* WIN: Now also supporting the "automatic mode" to add a new rig
* WIN: Added voltage display support for recent nvidia cards
