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.

SRBMiner-MULTI AMD GPU Miner Now With Support for Nvidia GPUs

8, Jan 2023

With its major release version 2 the popular AMD GPU miner SRBMiner-MULTI has introduced support for Nvidia GPUs as well, so now you can mine some of the latest algorithms getting introduced to the miner not only with AMD-based video cards but with Nvidia video cards as well. The miner supports setting GPU clock (--gpu-cclock) and memory clock (--gpu-mclock) on Nvidia GPUs as well as power limit (--gpu-plimit) via command line parameters. There is not yet support for GPU clock offset in order to fully optimize power usage for mining GPU-intensive crypto coins that can benefit from lower power mining, but hopefully that feature will also be introduced soon.

SRBMiner-MULTI also does support dual-mining for Ethash/Etchash or Autolykos2 memory intensive algorithms along with GPU-intensive algorithms such as Kaspa’s kHeavyHash algorithm… single mining for KAS is also supported of course. So, if you were not paying an attention to the miner as it was AMD-only, now you don’t have a reason to ignore it anymore if you do own Nvidia GPUs. Performance wise however KAS mining on Nvidia is lagging behind other better performing miners such as lolMiner or GMiner – around 520 MH/s on RTX 3070 for SRBMiner-MULTI compared to about 600 MH/s with lolMiner and GMiner with the same settings. Other algorithms might be able to perform better though, so you might want to check and confirm. We still haven’t had the chance to test and compare performance of the SRBMiner-MULTI on Nvidia GPUs on most algorithms and since support is brand new it might take a bit of time to be further optimized.

New SRBMiner-MULTI Miner 0.4.5 With Support for Epic Cash (EPIC)

3, Jun 2020

The latest SRBMiner-MULTI CPU and AMD GPU Miner version 0.4.5 adds support for the RandomX-based RandomEpic algorithm used by the Epic Cash (EPIC) crypto project for both solo and pool mining. There are also some performance improvements for the RandomX algorithm for CPUs as well as for Ethash and Ubqhash on AMD VEGA GPUs. You also get a number of fixes and new features, the full changelog is included below:

SRBMiner-MULTI CPU & AMD GPU Miner 0.4.5 changelog:
– Added ‘randomepic’ algorithm (EpicCash RandomX) solo/pool
– ‘ethash’ and ‘ubqhash’ algorithm faster ~1.5% on Vega
– ‘RandomX’ algorithm improvements
– Fixed allocation of ‘RandomX’ dataset for 1GB pages (--randomx-use-1gb-pages parameter)
– Fixed an issue with MSR tweaks not being applied correctly
– Lowered ‘minotaur’ algorithm devfee to 2%
– Fixed crashing of ‘minotaur’ algorithm on AVX2 capable cpus
– ‘--send-stales‘ is now set per pool, it accepts true/false. Default is true.
– ‘send_stales’ parameter added to pools config file too
– ‘–gpu-intensity’ option can now be used in combination with auto gpu setup in cmd
– Improved gpu watchdog
– Added temporary parameter ‘--cnpool-bbc-fix‘ which disables workers if job diff >= 50
– Minor bug fixes

SRBMiner-MULTI Miner is a closed source miner available for Linux and Windows, supporting CPU mining algorithms as well as some AMD GPU ones, though we mostly use it for processor mining. The miner has a built-in developer fee of 2.50% for cryptonight_bbc, 2.00% for bl2bsha3 and minotaur, no fee for blake2b and yespowerurx and 0.85% for all others that are supported.
