Topic: mkxminer: Fast Lyra2Z/Lyra2rev2 miner for AMD GPU (ZCoin, GINcoin, VERT, MONA... (Read 52721 times)

Dear miners!

I am locking this thread. Please use the new thread for Lyra2Z miner related questions: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/development-stopped-currently-mkxminer-5058058

If you are here because of Lyra2rev2 miner, then please think again: Lyra2rev2 ASICs now exist and it is very unprofitable to mine this algorithm with a GPU.
If you just need MONA/VTC/etc coins, then it makes more sense to mine other algorithm (say Lyra2Z, see link above) on a multipool with BTC payouts and then use BTC to buy MONA/VTC.

Thank you
WinMKX

Hello!

I just released a new version of mkxminer. Sorry, it took a little longer than I thought:

v4.1: 27 October 2018
    - Linux build + Windows build
    - About 5% speed increase

* Coming soon *
    - API support

Links in OP

Thanks

PS: I'm planning to create a separate thread for Lyra2z mkxminer, because the discussion above is mostly for Lyra2rev2 algo. But lyra2rev2 is now dead for GPUs (because of ASICs).

Not able to Go more than 7Mh/s In Vega64 how 7.40 Mh/s Advertising , please let us know how to reach up-to 7.40 Mh/s

Same results. After deep inspection, my 7x480 miner consumes little less energy with same OC settings (about 14-16 watt from wall whole system) on MKX instead TeamRED.

winmkx, continue your work on miner and maybe you will take the 4mhs height for 480\580

v4.0 beta: 9 September 2018
    - Added Lyra2z
    - Now 64 bit binaries only, no more 32 bit
    - Now only asm optimized kernels (removed --asm parameter)
    - Removed support for legacy Cards (prior to R9 290)
    - Reduced distribution size
    - Beta release: only windows and only lyra2z (linux and lyra2rev2 with some optimizations will be available in full release)

Hi there! Does -asm 1 work with Fury(X) for anyone using 4.0b to mine lyra2z? When I try it miner simply wont run whining "-a" parameter is wrong. Or asm simply isn't meant to work with Fury?

Tonga should be supported right?
Got a rig of 290x with one 380.
Miner does not initialize on the 380, works fine on several other miners.

Note regarding mkxminer:

- Please use beta blockchain driver. Link: https://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/Radeon-Software-Crimson-ReLive-Edition-Beta-for-Blockchain-Compute-Release-Notes.aspx

I use it myself on RX580 and Vega. Running absolutely rock solid.

There are reports, that latest 18.x drivers don't work properly.

- Do not use lyra2rev2 anymore, it is not profitable. Lyra2Z is much better.

- New version will have higher mining speed and Linux support. ETA: This month (October).

- There will be no more Lyra2rev2 support (does not make any sense, because of ASICs).

PS: If you need any comments from me, please send PM. Unfortunately, I don't have time to constantly monitor this forum.

Please compare mining speed of this miner with mkxminer v4 and reply.

My test on MSI RX580:
3.45Mhs on mkxminer 4.0b
3.37Mhs on teamred miner 0.3.2 (minus 3% their devfee) => effective 3.27Mhs
So my miner is 5% faster.

My test on FuryX:
3.61Mhs on mkxminer 4.0b
3.26Mhs on teamred miner 0.3.2 (minus 3% their devfee) => effective 3.16Mhs
So my miner is 14% faster.

Could not test on Vega, because redteam miner could not recognize my Vega64, so cannot publish my results unfortunately.

Best driver is a beta blockchain driver.

Have 7 x VEGA 64 myself, running rock solid.

Hello!

Lyra2rev2 ASICs are out: https://cryptomining-blog.com/10247-the-first-lyra2rev2-asic-miner-is-available-dayun-zig-z1/

And profitability of MONA/VTC is very low.

Please upgrade to mkxminer V4 with Lyra2Z support (links in OP) for a much better profit. Lyra2Z mining is now about 2-3 times more profitable than Lyra2rev2.

Thanks!

now there is finnaly teamred windows miner for lyra2z.  at least those guys do something and are releasing updates frequently.
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ann-teamredminer-optimized-winlinux-amd-gpu-miner-for-lyra2z-and-phi2-5027811

the whole algo is a joke, nobody has any good miner for it.

sad there is no progress...

I think he needs to reduce the dev fee a bit. We need to get 6MH out of the Vega56 to be somewhat useful.

mistakes are not so bad, like, leave reviews, guys

Does this miner have an api?

--powertune - Set the GPU powertune percentage - one value for all or separate by commas for per card

so if I want to set the power at -5% from 100 it would be:
--powertune 95 ?

Would love to test this for you.  Have a few Vega 64s that I'd like to put to work on vert.

Run on my 7970.
Win 64.
Crimson relive 17.4.4.
Core clock 1125.
mkxminer 3.1.0
Lyra2re2 - 24,5 Mh/s.

A good alternative for replacing equihash for a rarity like 7970. How do you think?
Guys, what do you run on your old 7970/280?
