New z-enemy 2.6.1 Nvidia GPU Miner With Improved KAWPOW Support

14, May 2020

A couple of days ago the z-enemy 2.5 miner was released as an updated version that introduced support for the KAWPOW algorithm that Ravencoin (RVN) has forked a couple of days ago. The z-enemy miner was not the first to support KAWPOW and was not the fastest as we were kind of used to often see when RVN was using the older X16 algorithm. It is good to see that more work has been put to the miner and the latest z-enemy 2.6.1 is right on rack to regain its fame from the good old days of Ravencoin mining when it was our preferred choice for a X16 miner.

The latest updates of the z-enemy regarding KAWPOW support bring faster initialization on multi-gpu rigs, performance improvements of a few percent, smoother gpu/power load and higher default intensity value increased from 20 to 21 for GTX 1070/1080 series as well as some miscellaneous improvements in the miner interface and general features. As far as performance is concerned, we definetly see an improvement, though still a bit more hashrate boost might be required for the miner to reclaim its top performance place.

The latest z-enemy version 2.6.1 is available for Nvidia CUDA 9.1, 9.2, 10.0 and 10.1 for 64-bit Windows versions and Linux. Make sure that you have the respective recent video driver version installed for the CUDA version you want to use – 388+ for 9.1, 397+ for 9.2 and 411 or newer for CUDA 10.0 or the latest ones for CUDA 10.1. We remind you that the z-enemy is a closed source miner software, is available only as a binary release, supports only Nvidia GPUs and it also contains a 1% developer fee built-in to support further software development.

New z-enemy 2.5 Nvidia GPU Miner With Support for the KAWPOW Algorithm

6, May 2020

With the Ravencoin (RVN) fork to KAWPOW right around the corner with less than half a day left here is the updated z-enemy 2.5 miner that also adds support for the new ProgPoW-based algorithm. The KAWPOW mining performance that the new z-enemy miner offers seems to be pretty much the same as what we are seeing from the other already available KAWPOW miners with small variation. Like most other miners z-enemy supports only Nvidia GPUs and currently there is only release of the miner available to Windows users. The only KAWPOW miner that supports AMD GPUs at the moment is NBMiner.

The latest z-enemy version 2.5 is available for Nvidia CUDA 9.1, 9.2, 10.0 and 10.1 for 64-bit Windows versions (no Linux release available for now). Make sure that you have the respective recent video driver version installed for the CUDA version you want to use – 388+ for 9.1, 397+ for 9.2 and 411 or newer for CUDA 10.0 or the latest ones for CUDA 10.1. We remind you that the z-enemy is a closed source miner software, is available only as a binary release and that it contains a 1% developer fee built-in to support further software development.

T-Rex 0.15.3 Nvidia Miner With KAWPOW Support for RavenCoin (RVN)

3, May 2020

The latest T-Rex Nvidia GPU miner version 0.15.3 has introduced support for the new KAWPOW algorithm just as expect in time for the fork of RavenCoin (RVN) that is coming in just a few days – May 6th 2020 at 18:00:00 UTC. Aside from the new Kawpow support for the upcoming RVN fork, the latest T-Rex miner also adds supports for ProgPow and MTP-tcr algorithms.

Aside from T-Rex adding support for KAWPOW in the latest version, there are a few other alternatives available already – the official open-source kawpowminer, the latest TT-Miner, the latest NBMiner and the latest GMiner. The only one that is still missing support for KAWPOW is Z-Enemy, however enemy has already announced that there should be an update before the RVN fork and it will also support the new Ravencoin algorithm.

T-Rex is closed source Nvidia GPU miner available for both Linux and Windows operating systems. The miner comes in multiple versions supporting CUDA 9.1, CUDA 9.2 and CUDA 10.0. The miner has developer fee of 1% for all of the supported algorithms, only tensority has a higher dev fee of 3%.
