Dual Mining Kaspa (KAS) + Zilliqa (ZIL) Now Possible With GMiner 3.21

2, Jan 2023

The latest update 3.21 of the GMiner mining software brings a new interesting feature for everyone that might be currently mining Kaspa (KAS) and that is the ability to dual-mine Kaspa (KAS) + Zilliqa (ZIL), though you can also use another supported coin by the miner instead of KAS should you wish to. Previously ZIL mining could be easily combined with Ethash or ETChash coins only or you could also triple mine with KAS as well. Now, with the latest GMiner you can choose to mine KAS or another coin with different algorithm along with ZIL, when the time comes to mine Zilliqa the miner will switch briefly and then get back to mining Kaspa or the coin you are mining. This way you will be getting some extra profit without losing almost nothing of your regular mining hashrate for KAS, or RVN etc.

Below you can find an example command line for running GMiner on Windows on Nvidia GPUs for dual mining KAS + ZIL:

miner.exe --algo kheavyhash --server pool.eu.woolypooly.com:3112 --user KAS_WALLET.WORKER_ID --zilserver eu1-zil.shardpool.io:3333 --ziluser ZIL_WALLET.WORKER_ID --lock_cclock 1710 --lock_mclock 810 --lock_voltage 800

Make sure you replace KAS_WALLET, ZIL_WALLET and WORKER_ID in the example with your wallet and worker IDs, the example above also sets core and memory clocks and tries to lock the GPU voltage for low power KAS mining on RTX 3070. Unfortunately, it seems that there are some trouble properly setting the GPU voltage and as a result the power usage will be higher compared to running the same low power mining settings on lolMiner. So, currently there is a bit of a trade-off with GMiner and dual-mining KAS + ZIL – you get higher power usage in order to get to mine ZIL. You might want to wait a bit for the issue with GPU voltage setting to be resolved in order to get the same performance and power usage as with lolMiner mining Kaspa with extra Zilliqa profit as well, though you might still want to try other coins that are not so energy efficient together with ZIL dual mining.

New GMiner 2.43 With Focus on Ethash Mining Improvements and Stability

27, Jan 2021

The latest GMiner 2.43 Nvidia and AMD GPU miner continues improving on Ethash support including compatibility with pools as well as new kernels for Nvidia. The latest update adds two new kernels for Ethash, so that now the miner support 5 kernels for Nvidia GPUs in order to ensure optimal performance depending on your GPU. Gminer automatically selects the optimal kernel by default, but you can also select specific kernel by the --oc command line parameter. The latest version also brings improved handling of device freezing as well as improved auto-tuning.

GMiner 2.43 Nvidia and AMD GPU miner changelog:
– improved compatibility with Ethash pools (shardpool.io)
– improved handling of device freezing
– improved auto-tuning
– added two kernels for Ethash, miner support 5 kernels for Nvidia GPUs, miner automatically select optimal kernel, also you can select specific kernel by --oc parameter

The GMiner miner software was originally only an Nvidia GPU miner, although some algorithms are already supported on AMD GPUs as well. Do note that GMiner is a closed source miner for Nvidia and AMD GPUs with binaries available for both Windows and Linux, there is standard 2% developer fee built-in the software, though Ethash fee is 0.65% and KAWPOW fee is 1%, but there are some fees that go higher than 2% as well!

New GMiner 2.07 With a Performance Boost for the Cuckatoo32 Algorithm

26, Apr 2020

The latest GMiner 2.07 Nvidia and AMD GPU miner continues improving the Cuckatoo32 performance with the latest update capable of delivering up to +20% performance boost depending on the GPU and OC mode used according to the developer. Definitely a nice improvement worth an updating if you are mining anything that uses the Cuckatoo32 algo, but also have in mind that the default developer fee for the Cuckatoo32 algorithm is set at 3% and is not the standard 2% as for most other algorithms supported by GMiner.

The GMiner miner software was originally only an Nvidia GPU miner, although some algorithms are already supported on AMD GPUs as well.
