After some testing, it seems performance is comparable to Claymore, but
I think UI has lots to be desired. Although I'm a windows person, I find
claymore easier to use, with ability to run as a service been main advantage
(or disadvantage, depending what you prefer) of Pro Miner

Thanks for trying it out and posting a review. I think Pro Miner's main advantage is that it just keeps on running with very little effort.
Also, it seems some people just prefer a Graphical User Interface and especially the ability to monitor your miner's performance over the past 7 days.
Thanks again for giving it a go - much appreciated

It seems version 1.128 is out, but author forgot to announce it here, so there you go...I just downloaded it
and going to try it

Pro Miner version 1.126 released! Get it from our website here: https://www.prominer.website
Bug fixes for devices not being found and log windows not scrolling to the end. Thanks to the miner who helped work through these issues
Pro Miner has improved over time, thanks to miners reporting issues. It's become pretty good now - give it a try and help break Claymore's dominance!
Music Coin mining should work, as should any other Ethash-based coin, although with no dev fee, as the seeds, and hence the DAG, will not match.
As always, feedback and especially bug reports if Pro Miner isn't working for you, are welcomed either here or via the "Help & Support" page on the website.
Good luck mining!

Updated into the newest one last night, nice. Will you add other eth "clones" coin to mine? I still have older amd gpu which its not useable anymore to mine eth as its just good for UBQ or Music coin.
Glad you like it!
I'll have a look at also supporting Music coin. Are there any other Ethash-based coins you'd like support for?
Other thing, is that possible to make the mining log auto update (like the conventional log of mining) ?
I not sure what you mean exactly. There's a small button in the bottom right corner of the log windows. If this is yellow, the logs auto-scroll to the latest entries. Manually scrolling back in time turns this behavior off and the button turns orange. Just click it to turn it back on again.
Hope this helps. If you have any other ideas or requests, please let me know.

Windows 7 now works - it would be great if a few people could test it out.
As always, it's great to get feedback, good or bad. You can post here or use the Help & Support page on the website to email me.

Dual mining with ETH as high as it is now is a waste. That little extra hashrate you get by just mining ETH makes more profit than dual mining. I'm going to try this GUI on my new build and see how it does. Keep up the good work and thanks!

Thanks! I mainly wrote this for my miners and it's done very well for me for over a year now. It makes running a farm very easy and I've put a lot of work into making it reliable.
It does what I want it to, but are there any features it doesn't have that you can't do without? Or is it just the dual mining?
I would like to see a dual mining feature on this miner.

Hi,
I'll give this a try, let's see for the upcoming days for the result.
Love the dashboard in reporting the whole hash rates.
Great.
Regards.

Pro Miner version 1.118 released!
Major improvements to the Control App. The home tab is now fully customizable, so you can monitor all your miners in one screen, just the way you want.
Unfortunately, there is a regression bug that means this version won't mine on Windows 7. I am working on this, and hope to have a fix soon. Windows 10 is fine.

Pro Miner version 1.116 released - get it from our website: https://www.prominer.website
!!! All new CUDA kernel for native NVIDIA mining which should equal or better other miners !!!
Small tweaks and improvements for OpenCL AMD mining. There's not much room for improvement here - the Ethereum algorithm was designed to be memory-intensive ( which is why we can still mine it with GPUs! )
I know I have an uphill struggle to convince you guys, but as always, please compare Average hash rates, not Peak ones.
Average hash rates are directly proportional to your mining rewards. Peak hash rates ( even when reported accurately ) are largely just bragging rights! Pro Miner is optimized for maximum Average hash rates and so maximum mining rewards. We run exactly the same code in our mining farm.
Quite a few people are using Pro Miner now, so it's well tested - why don't you give it a go?
If you have any problems, you can contact me using the "Help & Support" page on the website and I'll try to help.
If you're using it and like it, please let us know that too!
Good luck mining!

I've done some basic tests to explore how "Local Work Size" and "Global Work Size Multiplier" affect hashrates on nVidia cards.
These tests are not nearly as comprehensive (yet) as the experiment I did for AMD cards, but I thought I'd share my preliminary results.
TLDR; a "Local Work Size" of 64 and a "Global Work Size Multiplier" of 16384 seem to yield the best Average Hashrate.
Increasing "Local Work Size" from 64 increases the Peak Hashrate, but decreases the Average Hashrate. Setting it to 32 results in a decrease for both Hashrates.
Increasing "Global Work Size Multiplier" from 16384 also increases the Peak Hashrate and decreases the Average Hashrate.
Decreasing "Global Work Size Multiplier" from 16384 decreases the Peak Hashrate and but has a mixed effect on Average Hashrate, depending on the "Local Work Size", but never matching the optimum settings above.
As with the results for AMD cards, optimizing for Peak Hashrates does not maximize mining returns, which depend on Average Hashrates.
If anyone else has run these tests, please share your results too!

I've been getting reports of under-performing hashrates using nVidia cards.
It seems they are very sensitive to the "Local Work Size" and "Global Work Size Multiplier" settings on the "Miner Advanced" tab in the Control App.
I'm running some tests for nVidia cards, similar to the ones I did for AMD cards a while back:
https://www.reddit.com/r/EtherMining/comments/5t1i85/local_and_global_work_sizes
In the meantime, if you're using nVidia cards, please try different values for these 2 settings ( keep them as powers of 2 ) to see what works best for you.
And if you would like to share your results here, that would be great!
Good luck mining!

Pro Miner version 1.110 released on the website.
This version includes some small fixes and improved support for nVidia cards.
It seems a lot of new miners have nVidia cards, whereas most established miners have AMD cards.
This means support for nVidia is less well tested, so as always, if you have any problems, please use the contact form on the "Help & Support" page on the website.
