Dynex (DNX) Seems to be the Most GPU Mined Coin at the Moment

7, Oct 2023

Dynex (DNX) has gone a long way since we initially covered it as a new project to check out back in 2022 and now looking at the recent Hive OS Linux Mining OS statistics about what coins and algorithms are the most mined among the users of that mining operating system it is on the top with 22%. This is a very similar result to what KASPA (KAS) has achieved prior the ASIC miners started becoming available and making the GPU mining pointless anymore. During that time DNX was in the 1-2% of that statistics and now it is on top and is one of the very few GPU minable coins that is currently on profit to mine after you pay for electricity. And the project itself has come a long way and now feels much more serious and works much more stable and issue free for anyone and development is just starting to fire up.

So, is Dynex (DNX) going to follow in the footsteps of KASPA and become the preferred coin to be mined by most GPU miners… in fact it is already there and we are seeing strong indications that it might be there for a while, making it the next strong project to support GPU mining. And the project itself is doing quite well providing actual computing power for things that might actually be useful and help everyone in the future, though that is still yet to be seen, but there is a big potential there just waiting to be fully tapped into. We’ve been waiting for something like that since the early days of crypto, a project that can actually utilize the vast GPU network’s power for useful computations besides just supporting the network’s backbone.

Anyway, if you still haven’t deep diven into the Dynex (DNX) project and you are into GPU mining or crypto, then you might want to do so now. And miners should take a look at how to efficiently dual-mine Dynex (DNX) and Zilliqa (ZIL) with SRBMiner-Multi 2.3.7 for maximum profit.

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.

Low Power Optimized Mining of Dynex (DNX) on Windows

15, Jan 2023

There are a lot of GPU-intensive crypto coins out there that can be mined with video cards that unlike ETH/ETC and other memory-intensive algorithms do not require a lot of gigabytes of video memory or a very fast memory access speeds or clocks. One interesting such projects is Dynex (DNX) and we’ve already covered it last month as something interesting that might deserve your attention and mining power (still Nvidia GPU mining only). Now, we are going to be focusing on a different aspect of mining DNX that uses its own custom miner that unlike most other multi-mining software does not support GPU tweaking options. This means that if you do not optimize the GPUs you are using for mining you will be wasting a lot of extra power without any gain in performance and at times of lower profitability for mining this is not something you should be eager to do.

Miners that use Linux-based operating systems such as HiveOS have more options to control the operating parameters of their GPU-based mining rigs regardless of what miner software they currently employ, however Windows users are having a hard time doing the same thing. There are some useful graphical tools such as MSI AfterBurner or command-line tools such as nvidia-smi, but they are not as useful or easy to use or functional as one might think. The good news here is that Windows users might use some “cheats” in easily tweaking their mining hardware the way they want it to, regardless of the miner software they utilize.

This is possible all thanks to some of the new features introduced lately in the lolMiner mining software. These are not only the options for command line setting the GPU core clock, memory clock, power limit and the core clock offset, but also and very importantly the option to turn off the reset of overclock settings when exiting the miner. This means that you can run the lolMiner software briefly (make sure it is ran as Administrator for clock settings to work), quit it and have it leave the settings you applied for the GPU clock and then just run another miner like DynexSolve for mining DNX or just about another one. Just make sure that the mining software you run after that does not manage GPU settings on its own or does reset them to some default states as it will defeat the whole purpose.

Below you can find an example command line to run lolMiner setting the clocks on RTX 3070 GPU and then automatically exiting without resetting them back to the standard ones when exiting. Since we run lolMiner without a real KAS address it connects to the pool and then automatically exits the miner and then we run the DynexSolve miner and start mining DNX with the same optimized GPU setting that we would’ve used for mining Kaspa for instance with lolMiner. This way we get the same or maybe even higher performance with lowered power usage than if we just run the DynexSolver miner with the default settings for the GPU, just don’t forget to add your DNX wallet in the example below (do not add KAS wallet, leave the x there):

lolMiner.exe --algo KASPA --pool stratum+tcp://pool.eu.woolypooly.com --port 3112 --user x --watchdog exit --cclk 1710 --mclk 810 --coff 300 --no-oc-reset

dynexsolvevs.exe -mining-address YOUR_WALLET -no-cpu -multi-gpu -stratum-url dynex.neuropool.net -stratum-port 19331 -stratum-password YOUR_WORKER_ID -stratum-paymentid YOUR_PAYMENT_ID

The same thing can be applied to another miner and another crypto coin that is GPU-intensive and you can lower the video memory to the minimum and also decrease the operating frequency of the GPU to a lower level that it can still handle mining at with a high-enough operating frequency. This way you can go significantly lower than 100 Watts per RTX 3070 GPU and still managing to maintain the pretty much same hashrate that you would normally achieve mining at stock settings. And if the coins tolerate even higher GPU clock and that brings extra performance you can utilize the extra power usage headroom for further increasing the performance you get while maintaining much lower power usage in general.
