Beam Hash III not starting up in Linux on RX 5000 & RX 6000 series card on amdgpu-pro 20.45 driver. In dual-mining, multiple values can be specified separated by a comma, where the first value is for the first algorithm and the second is for the second algorithm. The moment the script is called the miner itself will exit. This can be picked up by the .sh or .bat script that did start the miner (an example is provided in mine_eth.sh and mine_eth.bat) so the miner will restart after some seconds of pause. Fixed bug: Miner causing invalid shares on 4G cards on some systems (mostly Linux), Fixed bug: Miner hangs up when changing epoch when using the ZIL cache feature. This will allow to point different GPUs to different pools. The dns resolving and the connection attempt can now timeout (after 10 seconds each) and will re-try to connect afterwards. If --cclk or --mclk are used to lock clocks, these will now be reset on lolMiner exit. Fixed a bug in web ui to sometimes not refreshing. Shares are used by miners to monitor their rigs and by pools to distribute rewards amongst their miners. GDDR6X customer GPUs, most professional and server GPUs and so on. Fixed a bug causing rejected shares on Equihash not appearing in API (but they did in miner dashboard stats). Also the new codes are now working much better when GPUs are power limited. In non-automatic mode you might see more re-calibrations during the first hour of mining then normal. A tag already exists with the provided branch name. "They are masters of gaslighting," says psychologist and CSU professor Dr. Ramani Durvasula. We recommend to not set the power limit. Enable single mining thread mode for all GPUs (-1) or for a specific GPU id. Improved Nexa performance on 8G Nvidia Ampere gpus by approximately 1.5% when memory is not locked and ~3% on locked memory (5000). #108. Specify which action to take when a card is detected to be crashed. See 4G_Windows_Readme.txt for configuring it. Changed LHR kernel defaults for RTX 3060 and RTX 3070, because the default ones had an issue with defect shares at high oc. Cuda solver: Supports Nvidia Maxwell (GTX 900 series) and newer GPUs with at least 3G of VRAM, OpenCL solver: Supports AMD GCN1 (Radeon HD 7950) and newer (b) with at least 3G of VRAM, Linux: Experimental zombie mode for AMD GPUs with 2G of memory (like HD 7870, RX 550, ) (c), Improved performance of RTX 3060 semi-unlocker in Linux, Reduced power draw of RX 3060 semi-unlocker in Linux. Differences to popular Windows solution: Read the wiki page about more information and how to install this drivers on your favorite mining OS: Made the LHR unlocker more robust against small changes in work load. This rig will mine: (1) A big kudos to Flexpool for helping out with this. Ethereum stratum code will now print the pool difficulty in better human readable number The miner will now print the ip of the connected pool - to be able to detect e.g. (all OS), Fixed a bug in Nexa mining of the miner creating only defects (Windows), Fixed a bug in Nexa mining of the miner crashing silently after a few minutes (Windows). When a pool requests a re-connection, the miner will now do so immediately instead of waiting 1 second and no longer say the connection got "lost". Cards not running zombie mode ignore the parameter. Fixed bug: "conversion of data to type "b" failed" when using ETHPROXY stratum mode on some pools. (2) Feel free to discuss good tuning values in the discussion section of this release page. The new zombie-tune parameter has only been tested with amdgpu-pro 20.30 and 20.40. Therefore the yesterday released version 1.21 will remain the recent release for Windows. "CL_OUT_OF_RESOURCES" will now also trigger the watchdog with the configured effect. NiceHash Rig Manager shows the detailed reason for rejected shares. Equihash 125/4 (Flux), 144/5 and 192/7 stratum can now distinguish between stale shares and other rejected. Separate worker name for Ethereum Proxy stratum mode. Use --mode a (faster) --mode b (better energy efficiency). The expected values are either compact or default or extended or a comma separated list of values. Needs super user or administrator privileges to work. Fixed bug: (Linux:) Watchdog not called when a GPU is stuck & extremely high CPU load on crashed GPU. Better performance of LHR semi-unlock, about 70%+ on GDDR6x cards (3070 Ti & 3080 (Ti) ), about 71-72%+ on GDDR6 (3060 (Ti) & 3070), 81%+ on 3060 LHR V1 with the right drivers (earlier then 460.39). Note that with --maxdualimpact you still can just define the max % of Eth hashrate to give away. Values given to --dualfactor parameter will now be value checked and rounded / capped to working values. lolMiner.exe Windows executable is now digitally signed. when connection was lost). "DEVICES" parameter not working when configuring the miner from json file. Ethash stratum connection will now reconnect after three pool rejected shares in a row that did pass own CPU verify before. Added support the BEAM hard fork on block 321321 (approx Aug15th). Keep system updated. new Nicehash platform), Reduced Zelcash memory usage to 2.9 GBytes. Example effect of --zombie-tune parameter on the hash rate in Zombie Mode Use --mode s to force it. Fixed a bug with the BEAM stratum back end in case of formatted job descriptions (e.g. Recommendation: When using lolMiner on Nvidia cards only use "--watchdog exit" mode and run the miner in a script that will automatically restart it on closing. For terminals that do not have rgb colors (e.g. Significantly reduced Ethash power draw on Navi GPUs, Slightly improved performance of 6800 (XT) / 6900, Added Cuckoo-29, Cuckaroo-30 CTX, Cuckatoo-31 (MWC) and Cuckatoo-32 (Grin) for RX 6800 family of GPUs. Added further epochs to the dag correction detection / table. It is an optimal value to maximize the number of shares and make sure that mining software handles the load and the processor doesn't slow . The miner itself will take no further action and continue operation on the remaining cards. Added experimental workaround for mining epoch 385+ with RX 470 - 590 and Linux kernel 5.6.x: Note this fix will deactivate the ZIL cache ability and force the miner to create DAG a bit slower. shellinabox) use. Added Ethash kernels for Fermi and Kepler GPUs. Note: some pool might not like appending your user name with a dot. faulty DNS entries Added parameters --dualtls and --dualworker to toggle TLS and the worker name for the dual connection. The experimental mode for LHR V3 seems to sometimes have unstable when starting up with only a reboot solving it - but after a first successful start it is stable - therefore the option to turn it off if you are struggling to start it up too many times. Fixed a bug that RTX 3070Ti only triggered the lock detector on rather low memory clock. Maxing out will give more epochs of mining & better Zombie mode performance, lower values may improve compatibility. Depending on configuration, the zombie mode now uses 0.5 to 1W less energy and is 0.2 to 0.4 mh/s faster. The parameter --disable-dag-verify was not working for OpenCL fired cards. lolMiner API now has new page /gui, which allows you to watch your rig mining in a web browser. 6G cards or when mining e.g. Nvidia LHR cards will no longer run the LHR unlock when not mining Et(c)hash or Ergo - this will prevent them from crashing on some other algorithms. The list is also documented at, Added reading of current core and memory clocks for AMD and Nvidia GPUs, Slightly improved performance of Ethash on Pascal / Turing & Ampere GPUs (about +0.1 - 0.2 mh per card), Further reduced internal latency in Ethash Cuda back end (less stale shares & CPU load), Added experimental Grin-C32 kernel for Radeon 6700, Fixed a bug in Cuda back-end to crash with a segfault on Epoch change (introduced in 1.25), Fixed a bug that Nvidia-GPUs did not start when Cuda Toolkit was not installed (It reported "No OpenCL devices found " - which was complete nonsense), Fixed some (rare) potential faults in Beam stratum, Windows: Fixed message about Light Cache build time was missing (introduced in 1.25). This might solve problems with some pools on connection loss. for Ethash. Fixed bug: Miner crashes when mixing TLS and non-TLS pools for fail-over. This will do nothing except for printing a message. Recommended driver: 512.15, Slightly improved initial speed after startup on 510.x & 512.x drivers allowing to reach best performance faster. Graph display will change to algorithm . Fixed a bug that may cause a segmentation fault on startup. The miner software needs to learn certain aspects about your cards over time to optimize for the best balanced pool hash rate. Fixed benchmark mode for ETCHash. In case the miner detects no action of a GPU for at least a minute it will call the included scripts "reboot.sh" (Linux) or "reboot.bat" (Windows) and display a warning message in red. Added new dualmode eth. (old), Time in seconds to wait after startup before any LHR detection or calibration takes place. Ergo: Added ability for all AMD cards to pre-build the next Ergo data set while mining. Added automatic tuning mode for --zombie-tune. Ethash Ethproxy stratum mode some times loosing worker name. Fixed multiple issues that caused the miner not to properly reconnect when it took too many attempts. About the split mining What this does is lowers the bandwidth amount for both the pool and the miner. Added support for mining Kaspa on AMD RX Vega using rocm based drivers (amdgpu-pro 20.50 and newer), Added support for mining Nexa on AMD RX 400 & 500 series gpus. Note that the auto-switcher is only working with at least 4G, for the 3G cards please use --coin BEAM-II manually on fork height. This will close the miner with a exit code of 42. Not it does. If only a single card did crash and not the whole driver this means the other cards will continue mining. Speed increase is about 8-8.5% on Nvidia Pascal GPUs, 4.5-5% on Nvidia Turing and Ampere GPUs and 3-4% on AMD Navi and Big Navi GPUs, Beta feature: added options to set core clock offset (. Fee is 0.75%. 1.32a: Fixed 3060 LHR V1 not starting in semi-unlock when the right drivers are detected. This is because the current implementation will start throwing invalid shares at some point and also going too slow to be worth using it any more. Significantly improved / speed up DAG repair function. They will continue on the secondary connection and do not switch. Reworked Ethash codes for late epochs on Windows. In fact. Setting the parameter --maxdualimpact to 0 will now completely disable dual mining on this card. Fixed a potential segmentation fault at startup, Fixed a segmentation fault when Alephium dual mining is requested, but the dual worker did not get authorized, Windows: significantly improved the speed of Nvidia Ethash mining. epoch change or connection loss. This will overwrite the scoring function. Reconnecting. This can resolve issues with defect shares that appeared in 1.34 or earlier with start of epoch 450. Fixed a bug causing lolMiner not to start Kaspa mining on Nvidia GPUs when the Nvidia OpenCL installation on the system is broken. Fixed a bug sometimes causing duplicate send shares in Kaspa dual mining. impactfiesta. The memory clock only used for KASPA/ALPH to reduce Watts with value 810. This will result in a minimally lower displayed hash rate, but higher pool side hash. The % of the fan used for the GPUs. beam-beepool.bat Significantly improved the Ton performance in Eth+Ton dual mining for all supported GPUs. lolMiner 1.20 and up allow to bypass the situation by adding a second stratum connection that will pick up your ETH (or ETC) shares and bring them directly to the pool you like, while the ZIL shares will be send during the ZIL shard epochs to the ZIL pool. This fixes an issue when a pool went offline and the following connection attempt takes indefinitely much time. Improved Kaspa performance in Kaspa only mining mode by 0.6 to 1.2% on Nvidia GPUs and 0.4-0.5% on AMD (Big) Navi GPUs at approximately same power draw. Windows: fixed a bug that made the miner crash when a https connection tried to re-connect (mostly Ton). Added Ergo kernels for RX 6700XT and RX 6600 (XT) on newer AMD drivers. Stratum connections will now have an increasing timeout (steps of 5 seconds) when reconnecting plus a small random time of 1 second in order to not overload the target pool in case of recovering from a network outtake. This will be the last release that allows to use the Zombie-Mode in Windows. Slight improved performance and reduction of stales for Alephium mining on Nvidias. Fixed a bug in 1.49 causing Ergo mining not to start on Nvidia GPUs. Significantly improved the Kaspa only mining energy efficiency on Nvidia Turing, Ampere and Ada GPUs by 7-11% depending on the actual model. HiveOn, Nicehash) (1), Fixed an issue that might cause the epoch to update too late when doing Eth + Zil dual stratum, Fixed an issue causing too much stale or very late shares in Ergo, Fixed partially defect .bat example files. The needed format will be automatically detected when connecting to a pool using it. Fixed a bug with 4G cards crash on mining ETC when trying to falsely enter zombie-tune. Complete rework of the mining back end. Use parameter. https://github.com/Lolliedieb/lolMiner-releases/wiki/3060-Booster. All rewards would go to the single share holder and essentially you invented a long complex round about way of solo mining. Fixed benchmark mode not starting up when called from json type configuration. Often this happens when the card is slightly too much undervolted, but other problems like heat are possible. Added Ethash + Alephium dual mining mode analogous to existing Ethash + Ton mode. The DAG epoch the denchmark mode will use. She . Personal release notes Removed 14 cycle fidelity from overview - new C29M solver does not output it properly. Removed: Support for mining Ton in single and dual mining modes. ETP + ZIL), General stability improvements (resolved many potential miner hangs up causes), Changed color scheme in Windows for Ethash mining (new jobs are now white, accepted shares green). Tested 460.93 driver and higher. Added support for mining Nexa on Nvidia Pascal or newer generation GPUs (1). Its now sorted by PCIE bus address. This new mode mode allows to mine at a speed about 3/4 of the maximum speed of this cards. RX 580) while others optimize for more Eth hash rate (e.g. This is likely due to a limitation of the Intel OpenCL implementation and the way lolMiner works with it. #110. Added Aeternity Cuckoo 29 & Grin Cuckatoo 32 kernels for RX 6600 and RX 6700 series GPUs. Added detection of pool not accepting worker name in format when using ETHPROXY stratum. Ethash & Beam not starting up on Radeon R9 380, Ethash not starting up on some 6G Nvidia cards. not enough memory for DAG or temperature limit reached), this will no longer crash all other Nvidia GPUs. This is recommended option for Nvidia cards. Recommended driver for LHR v2: 470.74 (Linux), 472.12 (Windows), Less performance difference between low and high core clock then earlier versions, Cards are automatically detected if they are LHR -. Default value is 0 (off), for most cards the value of 2 is optimal. Beta feature: Added experimental support for AMD RX7900 series. Cards are separated with a comma. The only parameter you can change in the lolMiner zombie mode is "keepfree". Cards are separated with a comma. Other drivers might cause issues. Otherwise, the miner cannot choose the parameters for it and constantly . Fixed a bug, that often caused the amdgpu driver to report a VM_CONTEXT1_PROTECTION_FAULT_STATUS on startup, Fixed defect shares and wrong reported has hrate when started with fixed --zombie-tune parameters directly. When the glitch is detected, the GPUs will leave the special LHR modes automatically. Improved performance of RTX 3060 and RTX 3060 Ti by up to 2%, generally allowing a bit less core clock, Auto tuning will now be quicker to reasonable hashrates, Found parameters that are hard coded with. Extended crc table for Ethash up until epoch 550.
