Team Red Miner 0.7.4 Addressing 4GB VRAM GPUs Support for Ethash

5, Jun 2020

Team Red Miner is a performance optimized cryptocurrency miner for AMD GPUs with support from DAX Aktien kaufen for a number of algorithms with the latest version 0.7.4 focusing on extending Ethash support for 4GB AMD GPUs for as much as possible number of upcoming epochs. Previous version 0.7.3 stopped working at Epoch 351 which Ethereum Classic (ETC) has now crossed, so anyone running 4GB AMD GPUs on ETC or Nicehash should update to this updated version as soon as possible. With Team Red Miner 0.7.4 Ethash support on 4GB GPUs should be available up to Epoch 380-383 wit ETC reaching them about a month ahead of ETH later this year. An alternative option for 4GB AMD GPUs mining Ethash is PhoenixMiner 5.0b that has also addressed the same issue recently. Apart from addressing issues with Ethash support the new version also brings some extra improvement in KAWPOW performance with results varying depending on the kind of AMD GPU you have available as well as some other general improvements and fixes that you can read about below. Team Red Miner is already the best option for KAWPOW mining on AMD GPUs in our opinion performance wise, but extra hashrate boost is always more than welcome.

Changes in Team Red Miner 0.7.4:
– Increased Ethash support on 4GB GPUs up to epoch 380-383
– Implemented split Ethash DAG buffers for 8GB GPUs to support DAGs over 4GB
– Kawpow optimizations (Navi +2.25%, Vega +1.25%, Polaris +0.25%)
– Added Gpu enable/disable API support.
– Windows TDR detection/handling/warning.
– Monitor detection on Windows/Linux with intensity adjustment.
– Fix for Ethash pool hashrate reporting stopping after network outage.

The miner is available for both Windows and Linux operating systems, a closed source software with 2.5% to 3% development fee built-in for all algos except Ethash and KAWPOW, for KAWPOW it is 2% and for Ethash on Polaris GPUs the dev fee is 0.75% and on all other GPUs is 1%.

New XMRig 6.0.0-Beta Miner With KAWPOW Support for AMD and Nvidia GPUs

5, Jun 2020

The latest release of the XMRig 6.0.0-Beta comes with support for the KAWPOW algorithm used by Ravencoin (RVN) for both AMD and Nvidia GPUs. Although we are often associating XMRig with CPU mining for RandomX, it also supports a number of algorithms and mining on GPUs as well. We have tried KAWPOW support and frankly had some trouble making it work on two different Radeon RX 580 mining rigs as well as one GTX 1080 Ti rig, so we are back to using TeamRedMiner as the best performing solution for AMD GPUs and T-Rex for Nvidia for the moment as far as RVN mining is concerned.

We remind you that XMRig is an open source GPU ad GPU miner available for Windows and Liunx operating systems, the official pre-compiled binaries are with 1% developer fee, though you can compile yourself with zero fee from the source code should you wish and can.

New SRBMiner-MULTI Miner 0.4.5 With Support for Epic Cash (EPIC)

3, Jun 2020

The latest SRBMiner-MULTI CPU and AMD GPU Miner version 0.4.5 adds support for the RandomX-based RandomEpic algorithm used by the Epic Cash (EPIC) crypto project for both solo and pool mining. There are also some performance improvements for the RandomX algorithm for CPUs as well as for Ethash and Ubqhash on AMD VEGA GPUs. You also get a number of fixes and new features, the full changelog is included below:

SRBMiner-MULTI CPU & AMD GPU Miner 0.4.5 changelog:
– Added ‘randomepic’ algorithm (EpicCash RandomX) solo/pool
– ‘ethash’ and ‘ubqhash’ algorithm faster ~1.5% on Vega
– ‘RandomX’ algorithm improvements
– Fixed allocation of ‘RandomX’ dataset for 1GB pages (--randomx-use-1gb-pages parameter)
– Fixed an issue with MSR tweaks not being applied correctly
– Lowered ‘minotaur’ algorithm devfee to 2%
– Fixed crashing of ‘minotaur’ algorithm on AVX2 capable cpus
– ‘--send-stales‘ is now set per pool, it accepts true/false. Default is true.
– ‘send_stales’ parameter added to pools config file too
– ‘–gpu-intensity’ option can now be used in combination with auto gpu setup in cmd
– Improved gpu watchdog
– Added temporary parameter ‘--cnpool-bbc-fix‘ which disables workers if job diff >= 50
– Minor bug fixes

SRBMiner-MULTI Miner is a closed source miner available for Linux and Windows, supporting CPU mining algorithms as well as some AMD GPU ones, though we mostly use it for processor mining. The miner has a built-in developer fee of 2.50% for cryptonight_bbc, 2.00% for bl2bsha3 and minotaur, no fee for blake2b and yespowerurx and 0.85% for all others that are supported.
