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.

Dynex (DNX) is a Decentralised Neuromorphic Supercomputing Platform

20, Dec 2022

Dynex (DNX) is said to be a next-generation platform for neuromorphic computing (computational model patterned on the human brain) based on a ground-breaking flexible blockchain protocol. It consists of participating PoUW miners that constitute a decentralised neuromorphic supercomputing network which is capable of performing computations at unprecedented speed and efficiency – even exceeding quantum computing. Dynex’s proprietary Proof-of-Useful-Work (PoUW) algorithm called DynexSolve enables each miner to perform Dynex Chip computations and in turn get rewarded with DNX coins and anyone that might be interested in taping that computational power to perform neuromorphic computing calculations would need to pay in DNX. A Dynex Chip is described as a neuromorphic chip design, based on ideal memristors. Such a chip cannot be built with current hardware (ideal memristor!) so it is being simulated with ODE integration. It turns out that the simulated circuit shows all desired features (long-range order, instantonic behavior, etc.), and is quite fast when simulated on enough GPUs. There’s a reference implementation on GitHub so everyone can try it.

Dynex is certainly interesting and different than most other crypto projects out there with the goal being not only using computational (mining) power for securing the blockchain network it uses, but trying to actually use that computational power provided by miners for creating a large and decentralized neuromorphic computing platform. The project is still in the works and there are some quirks and issues that get resolved in a timely manner, it is still quite new and more work is probably needed for its goal to be fully realized. Now is also the perfect time to join in early if you are interested.

Since Dynex uses its own custom DynexSolve algorithm you need to use a specially designed mining software that runs on your GPUs called DynexSolve with the current latest version being 2.2.1 (the one you need to use) that supports Nvidia CUDA as well as CPU mining, unfortunately AMD GPUs are not yet supported. The mining software simulates the so-called neuromorphic computing Dynex Chips and it seems to be more of a memory intensive than GPU intensive algorithm. Mining can be done on both Windows and Linux operating systems and it is a wise idea to keep an eye out at the projects Discord server for up-to-date development and any possible issues and fixes being applied. DNX can be mined on a number of mining pools such as mineradnow.space, newpool.pw or neuropool.net among others. If you are interested in trading Dynex coins, then you may want to look on TxBit the only crypto exchange that currently has DNX trading pairs listed.
