Genesis Mining is Back With New Bitcoin (SHA256) Cloud Mining Offers

2 May
2019

It seems that with the waking up of the crypto market after the long “crypto winter” the companies that survived are getting back on track and so is Genesis Mining. After recently starting with new BTC to ETH trading and DASH (X11) Cloud Mining Offers, they are now also opening up new contracts for Bitcoin (BTC) cloud mining as well. Now, cloud mining can be a tricky and risky business and over the years we’ve had a fair share of bad luck and bad decisions, so you should always be extra careful and do your math and set reasonable expectations. Genesis Mining is one of the largest could mining companies that we have worked with for a long time and unlike most others it managed to survive and adapt to the market changes over the years. Companies that handle crypto should learn more about cybersecurity solutions like the ones from Fortinet.

The company is currently offering two plans for Bitcoin could mining: Bitcoin Radiant Classic and Bitcoin Radiant Zero. The Classic one is with 1 year (12 Months) of guaranteed runtime even in cases where your daily mining reward falls below the Maintenance Fees and a fixed maintenance fee is deducted from all 1 year contracts for their full runtime with the current maintenance fees set at $0.099 USD per TH/s per day. The Zero plan is also with 1 year (12 Months) of guaranteed runtime, however there is no Maintenance Fee involved, you pay for everything upfront and thus the price is higher.

The Radiant Classic Gold plan is available for $65.99 for 2.5 THS, Radiant Classic Platinum offers 25 THS for $629.99 USD and the Radiant Classic Diamond plan is for 200 THS at a price of $4799 USD. The Radiant Zero Gold plan is for 1.5 THS at $94.99 USD, the Radiant Zero Platinum plan is for 20 THS at $1259.99 USD and the Radiant Zero Diamond plan i for 75 THS at $4724.99 USD. There is also an option for custom plan with different hashrate for each of the two variants for Bitcoin (SHA-256) cloud mining that the company offers. You can also use our special discount code CryptoMiningBlog5 to get some extra discount and get even better price should you decide to give their services a try.

New SRBMiner 1.8.4 Cryptonight AMD GPU Miner With Performance Boost for HBM-based GPUs

21 Apr
2019

The latest version 1.8.4 of the CryptoNight AMD GPU miner SRBMiner brings significant performance boost for all of AMD’s HBM memory based GPUs, namely the Radeon Vega56, Vega 64, Vega FE and the latest Radeon VII with HBM2 video memory. The performance boost for these video cards can be up to about 15%, so definitely worth upgrading any mining rigs with the newly released miner for the extra hashrate you will be getting… and that apparently goes for all of the supported algorithms! To take advantage of the extra performance boost you need to play around with the new parameter tweak_profile checking the level of tweak profile that your GPUs can handle and applying it. Apparently the improvement is based on memory timings modification thanks to the work of Eliovp and his useful AMD Memory Tweak Tool.

You can find the full changelog for the latest release quoted below. Do note that the developer fee is ~0.85% for both normal mode and algorithm switching mode as SRBMiner is a closed source miner available for AMD GPU miners only under Windows.

SRBMiner V1.8.4 Full Cangelog:
– Performance increase for Vega56/64/Fe/Vii up to 15%!
– Minimum for ‘main_pool_reconnect’ is now 60 seconds instead of 180
– Added new cmd parameters: –disabletweaking, –cgputweakprofile
– Added new config parameter: tweak_profile
– Minor bug fixes

New lolMiner 0.8 OpenCL GPU Miner With Cuckatoo 31 Support

18 Apr
2019

The latest update of the AMD GPU miner lolMiner 0.8 brings support for the Cuckatoo 31 algorithm used by Grin, for GPUs with either 4GB and 8GB video memory (lower memory mens less performance) for Windows and Linux. To mine with the new algorithm you need to use the parameter --coin GRIN-AT31, NiceHash does not currently seem to be supported for C31 though. It is interesting to note that the Grin cycle finding is completely done on the GPU, so the miner has almost zero CPU load (on AMD, Nvidia has some due to OpenCL back end). Aside from Cuckatoo 31 support the new version also has some Stratum bug fixes (NiceHash) for Equihash 144/5, 192/7 and 96/5, improved general stability of the miner as well as added distinct 1GB, 3GB and 4GB as well as 6GB and 8GB kernel for mining MNX for Windows (the Linux version that already implemented had this in 0.7.1).

We remind you that lolMiner is a closed source OpenCL GPU miner available for Windows and Linux as pre-compiled binaries only and that there is a developer fee for using the software (1% for all supported algorithms). It might work on Nvidia with OpenCL, however stability and performance might not be optimal, so it is best for use with AMD GPUs.
