This tool will unlock your LHR cards 100%. If you decide to donate mine you can run it standalone and the fee is around ~1%

The software use free downloadable and unmodified binaries from github like curl. What do you bitch about?

Windows will not be used by miners due to great inconvenience.

umm.. no.. not true.

I use four miners.. hiveos, smos, awesome miner and my own personal favorite command line script miners.

hiveos, smos for large remote miners with same gpu in them.

windows, command line script miners for my smaller home miners (profit switching miners at home)

Will your solution be integrated into Hive OS? I saw that other miners are already updating their versions, in which there is a small decrease in power consumption and a small increase in hashrate. After hacking LHR restrictions, Windows will not be used by miners due to great inconvenience.

How much is actual fee to dev? Near than 5% on idle
WOW!

No the average is more like 1%, but the gpu usage goes from 0-5% in bursts. But why do you want to run the pill without any mining software in the background?

A very simple and ingenious solution. Why wasn't it implemented before?

Thanks.. Sometimes the simple solutions are the best, but you just know how to do it.

For example Phoenix miner filesize near 8Mb with CUDA and OpenCL kernels and LHR unlock.

The difference between the partial unlock in phoenix miner and the 100% unlock provided by the pill could be as much as +60%

F.ex

3080ti from 75MHASH to 120MHASH

What is inside TheBlackPill.exe, what are the hidden actions?

It contains mining software. Good Mining software are used by botnets to earn money, so they are flagged with false positive hits on antivirus software.

The program starts a mining thread. I didn't use the word fee, because when you run another mining program, the process has too little resources and unable to calculate the fee:.

He test it, but you hide the fee and thats the problem. Don´t ignore the half of his post.

I have also tested it and get the same speed on the LHR 3070 as the normal 3070. On the Ethereum algo 100% unlock.

you haven´t told us about your "fee".

Read my comment on the 14th of may. The program starts a mining thread. I didn't use the word fee, because when you run another mining program, the process has too little resources and unable to calculate the fee:.

verthash miner with strange devfee direct after start for 30mins - you changed this after some versions - but only because some users weren't so pleased.

The fee switching code was not very good in the early spminer releases, slow and loosing hashrate.
To avoid fee switch every hour, the fee was mined every 6 hour or 12 hours. 216 seconds of fee mining 21,384 seconds of normal mining. Keep mining 100% of the time and the fee is 1%, but if you end mining after 10 minutes, the fee is much higher.

Your smear campaign against Teamredminer, T-rex and gminer.

After Putin's stupid war, All Russian's are being sanctioned.

Teamblackminer inflate hashrate by 10%, features in your feature list are not working (verthash+zil = you need an extra miner, ETC+Zil also not working.....)

The Team Black miner is a new miner. We are currently 2 devs working parttime. The early versions had some bugs, but most of them have been fixed. If you set it up correctly and with the correct cards you can get up to +5% more poolside hashrate than with the other miners.
ETC+Zil is working fine on ezil.me.
 
I appreciate your work and this LHR pill, but why must this pill trigger the LHR lock? The LHR lock can be trigger by the mining software and on this point the pill must reset the lock counter. This can be done without "devfee" connection.

T-rex, Team Red Miner and Gminer could have been opensource miners...

The pill is working on all mining software and not only on The Team Black Miner.

yes, the program starts a mining connection in with very low priority to a pool to trigger the LHR and unlock it. If you run you standalone it will use 0-5% of the gpu. If you run it with another mining software, the other mining software will take over the gpu,
99.9% unlock? You can test it yourself. on ethereum I get 100% unlock, but you might need to add a few watts

I have updated the FAQ page

https://github.com/sp-hash/TheBlackPill/blob/main/faq.md
Thank you for the explanation, but since the devfee was hidden in the first place, I have no reason to trust that the fee is 0.01%. If you had been transparent in the first place, I would have used this pill (had it increased my hashrate) and recommended it to others for non-ETH algorithms.

The program starts a mining thread in with very low priority to a pool to trigger the LHR and unlock it, but when you start another mining program,  the new program will take over all of the resources, and no hashrate is lost. You might call it a fee, but it is only "fee mining" if you don't mine with another program.
I don't believe that.

Here is the command line of the 'black.x' process:



Proof that the IP address '51.15.89.69' is Nanopool's server:





The Pill keeps communicating with Nanopool EU1 (which I don't use for ERG) long after The Pill has been started up and my own client (T-rex) has been mining for 20 minutes.



After I closed The Pill, the connection to Nanopool was terminated. After I re-opened it, the connection was re-established. This proves that The Pill is connecting to Nanopool, not T-rex's devfee mechanism.

Any explanation, _sp or TeamBlack?

P.S.: I can install a man-in-the-middle SSL certificate to try to look into the actual data being sent (such as 'mining.submit'), but that will take more time.

I just noticed that The Black Pill charges a devfee. I can see in Task Manager that the process command line has pools and wallet addresses that are not mine. I don't know what the devfee is, and I haven't seen an increase in ERG hashrate on my RTX 3080 Ti (LHRv2), so I stopped using it.

Neither the Github repository nor this forum thread nor the program mentions a devfee or what percentage it is. This is deceptive marketing and TeamBlack needs to be transparent. Every single mining software states what the developer fee is. I don't know why this pill doesn't do the same.

tried this with gminer 2.74 and later 2.66 as per recommendation by sp on flexpool. the hashrate unlock is not as good compared to trex or nbminer. will try tbm next weekend if i find the time.

Did you compare Gminer 2.66 with Gminer 2.94? GMiner already have a 100% unlock option, so using this tool with is pointless.

but..

v2.66 -0.65% fee
v2.94 -1% fee

So it might be a littlebit better poolside.

Trust and veracity is what is important when big things happen that require a new download (the actual download and extract and use) and to not be suspicious is would be unnatural. Especially since we are talking monetary value - and the ease at which dev's can slip a piece of code to mine small bits is a reality unfortunately, and the average miners understanding of coding is probably on par with the layman.

So, when new versions of everything are flying around, everyone will be more cautious if the source is not well established and in long term use. I asked a question when the pheonixminer thread was updated, but was still suspicious of it even though the poster replied right after. But pheonixminer having its own history, was also a big red flag.

@sp_ how can we trust? Does this unlocker have a fee for use?

lolminer dev was in a video that said it was more than likely created from the hack on nvidia.  All the unlocker does is constantly refresh the count down timer the nvidia driver uses to enable LHR when it sees that GPU is mining.

I saw that video 2 days ago, whatever was the case, it was good dev miners worked hard to make the lock less effective, up to 78% was good enough given the bs nvidia imposed, in the end was just a simple unlock that somebody figured out and shared and I'm glad to whoever it was.

I guess its not an Software that comes from somewhere , and i am also not an pro coder but if there is at least one miner software that have it,
It will be an easy way for an developer to cut down the whole code til you find the pieces that you need .
And then you just have to modify it and get it into your code right , but that is just a guessing from me.

This is a NVIDIA GPU LHR unlock software created for the 511.65 driver or newer. The program needs to be run with admin rights.

Should work on all LHR models with >=8GB memory

After the launch keep the window open and the program running.

Linux comming soon...

So I ran this in Windows to see how it compares to other unlocks and it seems to perform very well, and a full 100% unlock for the 3070Ti card that I have.  There's some variability in the miner reported rate, but the pool reported rate is showing a normal range from 80-90 MH/s at 2miners and with their 30 minute rolling window.



I'll keep it running for a while longer and see how it maintains the unlock over the long term; so far so good!

so.. you're saying that this unlocks LHR cards from older versions of miners that don't have the lhr unlocker?

Yes. Every mining software will work on any algo.  
You can use the old and faster Gminer with only 0.65% fee, or you can mine Vertcoin with the spminer without any limits. This is "The Pill" for LHR cards that unlock the card for all random access memory algos.
But you need a newer driver.


Similar effect as the pill for gtx 1080/1080ti cards GDDR5 memory. You run it in the background, and the LHR cards get a boost in the hashrate.

Open sourcing will only speed up and improve the V4 lock...

I don't agree. The more LHR is exposed the more Nvidia will have to spend to improve it. Eventually shareholders
will clue in that it hurts the bottom line.

The linux version is not done yet, but will be released.

Seperating the unlocker from the miner is a step in the right direction.

yep. Nvidia is working on LHR lock V4 on the 40x0 series and rumors say that all of them will have LHRV4 code even the 4090.
Open sourcing will only speed up and improve the V4 lock...

Seperating the unlocker from the miner is a step in the right direction. It removes the requirement to run
the miner as admin, as well as working with all miners.

But why not open source and for Linux?

This unlocker is not bound to ethash. Works with all miners on all memory algos... Works on the latest nvidia driver, and not only on the older 510 drivers..

Unlock  your LHR cards and hash at fullspeed with the Team Black Miner, Phoenixminer, Srbminer, Miniz, ethminer etc..

Linux version is being created, but not completed yet.

What is the advantage of using this pill vs. using T-rex or NBminer, which already include an unlocker? How would your pill work on Linux rigs?

This is a NVIDIA GPU LHR unlock software created for the 511.xx driver or newer (510.xx on linux). The program needs to be run with admin rights.

Should work on all LHR models with >=8GB memory

After the launch keep the window open and the program running.
