Another update from Doctor83 for his SRBMiner-Multi mining software to version 2.3.9, after the recent mandatory update 2.3.8 for Dynex miners a new bugfix release is available that fixes some issues with invalid shares that was present in the 2.3.8 update as well as brings performance improvement for some GPUs. Furthermore the new release also brings down the development fee to 2% for DNX mining and if you are dual-mining DNX with ZIL (Zilliqa has %0) you get some extra profit from that as well with no extra cast. There are apparently some other fixes and improvements, but the focus is mostly towards getting better Dynex mining experience and a bit of a performance boost, at least to some users…

A quick test of the new SRBMiner-Multi 2.3.9 release shows pretty good results, not only that the higher hashrate from the early 2.3.7 version is back on for Nvidia users (at least the 3000 series), but you get something a bit more as an extra than you should’ve gotten with the older release. The performance drop that came with 2.3.8 is now not available anymore, with Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070 you should be back at the same level as with 2.3.7 in terms of hashrate or even a slightly higher. But miners with RTX 3080 and RTX 3080 would be happier as these GPUs do get an extra boost as well (3-5% average) and that one should be higher than on the 3070s, so they are quite a bit faster than with 2.3.7. And let us not forget about the 0.5% reduction in DNX mining dev fee, so definitely worth upgrading to the new release as soon as possible in order to take advantage of all of the improvements.

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.
