If you are mining Dynex (DNX) with the SRBMiner-MULTI v2.3.7 miner especially if dual mining DNX and ZIL you should upgrade to the just released version 2.3.8 as it implements important fixes regarding Dynex mining. It is a mandatory upgrade for Dynex miners as apparently the latest performance optimizations in version 2.3.7 have apparently resulted in returning some invalid pouw solutions and while the new version resolves the problem it also brings down the hashrate a bit as a result according to the miner’s developer. The update to SRBMiner-MULTI v2.3.8 is mandatory as older versions will stop working in a few days and you need to update if you want to continue to be able to mine DNX!
According to Doktor83, the developer of the mining software, NVIDIA GPU’s got the biggest hit in term of hashrate and mining performance should decrease on most of the supported GPU’s, except on AMD RDNA2 GPUs which supposedly got an increase in hashrate from the new code. Our own initial observations do show that for example RTX 3070 performance goes down by about 5%, but RTX 3080’s performance actually goes slightly up with about 2% and RTX 3090 goes down by about 1%. So, while it is mandatory to upgrade if you are using the miner to mine Dynex, depending on your GPU type you might get mixed results in terms of the change in hashrate after the upgrade.

Up until recently the OneZeroMiner was the preffered miner for Nvidia GPU miners mining Dynex (DNX) as the fastest performing miner, however the SRBMiner-Multi software used mostly by AMD miners has recently brought back Dynexsolve support for Nvidia in the version 2.3.6 (performance was slower than OneZeroMiner) and in the just released update to version 2.3.7 things got more interesting. The latest SRBMiner-Multi 2.3.7 (2.5% dev fee DNX, 0% on ZIL) is now faster on Nvidia compared to OneZeroMiner (3% dev fee) and also has lower developer fee and even supports dual mining of Dynex and Zilliqa, so a bit of an extra advantage apart from the higher performance and lower fee. Windows miners would also like the fact that with SRBMiner-Multi they can also take advantage of the GPU clock offset actually working to further lower the power usage as opposed to OneZeroMiner’s one not working under Windows. This means that you can further reduce power usage with SRBMiner-Multi 2.3.7 while also getting higher hashrate and some extra profit from mining ZIL every hour or so for a bit.
So, if you are looking for something that you can GPU mine with profit currently and hold and mine long term then you should definitely take a look at DNX and give it a go. And another tip, get a local Dynex wallet to mine at as most mining pools supporting DNX mining won’t allow you to mine on an exchange address, and it is better to keep the mine coins in a wallet than on an exchange anyway. ZIL dual-mining might be a bit of a challenge with some of the pools not allowing you to dual-mine if both coins are not on their list of supported pools coins (K1Pool with the largest ZIL hashrate at the moment for example) and you might have some trouble using some other pools as well, though Crazypool seems to be working just fine for dual mining DNX and ZIL in our experience, so you might want to give it a go.
Example of SRBMiner-Multi command line for DNX + ZIL mining:
SRBMiner-MULTI --disable-cpu --algorithm dynex --pool eu.dnx.mineradnow.space:18000 --mallob-endpoint https://gomallob.mineradnow.space/ml --wallet DNX_WALLET --password WORKER_ID --zil-enable --zil-pool eu.crazypool.org:5005 --zil-wallet ZIL_WALLET.WORKER_ID --zil-esm 2 --gpu-cclock0 1485 --gpu-mclock0 5001 --gpu-coffset0 200 --zil-cclock 1000 --zil-moffset 1000
Make sure to change DNX_WALLET and ZIL_WALLET to your own wallet addresses and WORKER_ID to your mining rig’s id. For DNX a GPU clock of around 1485 is a good choice and memory at 5001, ZIL core clock of around 1000 (for 3000 series Nvidia) and +1000 on video memory is a good option for ZIL mining. Depending on your GPU an offset of 200-300 should be the sweet spot, so you might want to start from 200 and increase it to around 300 to see what works for you – the higher the value the lower the power usage, but GPUs might become unstable.

Miners have started reporting that they are receiving their orders for the Kaspa (KAS) ASIC miners from Icer River, a newcomer on the ASIC miner market that although new has managed to deliver their dedicated KAS ASIC mining hardware to users first. It is mostly their lower power models KS0 and KS1 for now, though KS2 will probably be next as well. Icer River even lowered the prices of their 100 GH/s, 1TH/s and 2 TH/s ASIC miners that should start shipping in early July. And the company started taking pre-orders for their newly announced models with more power – the KS3 offering 8 TH/s and KS3L with just 5TH/s hashrate for Kaspa mining, these ones are quite expensive though and should start shipping around the second part of July according to the company maiking them.
Bitmain is also expected to start delivering their AntMiner KS3 KASPA ASIC miners with 8.3 TH/s hashrate at around August time, so things should be heating up quickly in terms of network hashrate. The users that manage to get their miners as early as possible have a higher chance to ROI them faster as with newer and more devices starting to hit the KAS network the newly mined coins will go down quickly. We are already starting to see a bit of an increase in the hashrate, though nothing very significant yet.
GPU miners mining KAS would also soon start dropping out and FPGA miners will probably follow not long after that as the profitability will not be worth it and so moving to other projects that do not have ASIC miners yet would make more sense for sure. Then there is also the emission curve that KAS follows that will also help in further reducing the newly mined coins as well. So, if you are waiting for your KAS ASIC miner or just got it, then you are ahead of the game, but if you are considering ordering it just now and expect it in a month or so, you might want to be more careful in the planning.
