SRBMiner-MULTI v2.2.0 Released with Dynex Mining Support for AMD, Nvidia and Intel GPUs

8, Mar 2023

The latest update version 2.2.0 of the SRBMiner-MULTI miner comes with support for mining Dynex (DNX) that covers the not only already available Nvidia GPUs (via the official DynexSolve miner), but also adds support for DNX mining on AMD and Nvidia GPUs. The mining fee for mining Dynex with the SRBMiner-MULTI v2.2.0 is currently set at 3%. Earlier this year SRBMiner-MULTI added support for Nvidia GPUs in its major release 2 and since then the miner has introduced and gradually improved support for Intel’s ARC GPUs as well. SRBMiner-MULTI v2.2.0 is the first mining software to offer AMD and Intel ARC miners the ability to mine DNX, though mining DNX is still having issues with pools, so do not be discouraged if you have trouble connecting to a mining pool. This should hopefully soon be resolved as we also do have some trouble properly testing the new release at the moment.

A nice addition to the features for DNX miners from SRBMiner-MULTI is the ability to use multiple mining pools and mallobs, that can help you if you are having pool connectivity issues. There is currently no “adj” option available to set manually the number of Dynex chips to be simulated like on the official DynexSolve miner, but you can use the “--gpu-intensity” parameter for that. Another useful feature is the ability to dual-mine Dynex (DNX) and Zilliqa (ZIL) with SRBMiner-MULTI, so that can help in getting some nice extra profit as opposed to just single mining Dynex. Nvidia users might also try and compare the performance of the official DynexSolve 2.2.5 miner (no dev fee here) to what SRBMiner-MULTI v2.2.0 miner offers on their hardware (3% dev fee), feel free to share your results in the comments below if you do so.

New lolMiner 1.69 and BzMiner v13.3.0 Bring NEXA Support for AMD GPU Miners

2, Mar 2023

While the latest updates of lolMiner and BzMiner are not the first to bring support for the Nexapow algorithm used by the NEXA project, they currently offer the fastest performance on AMD GPUs. Previously you could mine NEXA on AMD GPUs only using the WildRig Multi miner, now you can get significant performance boost with either the latest lolMiner 1.69 or BzMiner v13.3.0 (NEXA support is being jointly developed by both). Depending on your AMD GPU you could expect to get somewhere between about 12 and 20 percent performance boost compared to mining NEXA using the WildRig Multi miner, so if you were already mining NEXA on AMD GPUs you might want to upgrade your mining software now.

Meanwhile the NEXA project has also announced that it will be listed on the MEXC Global exchange at 14:00 on Mar 7 (UTC), bringing significant exposure to the crypto project to much wider market with MEXC being in the TOP 20 exchanges in terms of trading volume according to CoinMarketCap’s Exchange ranking data. So, you could expect that the interest, price and profitability of mining NEXA to also come up in the following days preceding the listing and after that as well. And that goes not only for AMD GPU miners, but also Nvidia GPU miners as well that had a heat start in being able to mine NEXA early on… it might still not be too late to join though.

New Rigel 1.3.5 Nvidia GPU Miner With Further Improved NEXA Performance

7, Feb 2023

The latest update of the Rigel miner version 1.3.5 once more brings it to the top spot in terms of mining performance for NEXA mining after it has briefly lost its leading position to the recent release of lolMiner 1.67 that also brought significant hashrate improvements for the nexapow mining algorithm. Besides the performance/efficiency improvements the new version also brings support for explicit locked clocks reset.

Do note however that users are reporting issues with the new release when mining on Nvidia 4xxx series of GPUs, so you might want to try the latest lolMiner 1.67 on these at least until a fix is made available. Also, you might want to try locking your video memory to 5000 MHz as this seems to be providing the optimal performance boost while saving some power, lowering the video memory to the minimum does lead to significant reduction in the hashrate. Even though the nexapow algorithm is more GPU-intensive it still requires the use of some video memory, so setting it too low for power savings is not beneficial.

Below is an example config for running the Rigel miner on Nvidia RTX 3070 for NEXA mining:

rigel.exe -a nexapow -o stratum+tcp://pool.woolypooly.com:3124 -u YOUR_NEXA_WALLET --cclock 250 --lock-cclock 1750 --lock-mclock 5000

In the example above make sure to replace YOUR_NEXA_WALLET with your walled address for NEXA. Here we are setting a GPU clock offset of 250 (you can try the 200-300 range to see what works best for you), the GPU clock is locket at 1750 and the video memory clock at 5000 MHz. Feel free to experiment with the power limit level and the GPU clock as 1750 MHz might be a bit too much for a 120 Watts TDP limit for instance.
