New SRBMiner-MULTI Miner 0.4.4 With Ethash and Ubqhash Support

10, May 2020

The latest SRBMiner-MULTI CPU and AMD GPU Miner version 0.4.4 adds support for Ethash and Ubqhash crypto algorithms and you might want to give the miner ago for these two particular algorithms if you ave a Navi-based AMD GPU (Radeon RX 5500/5600/5700 series) due to optimized kernel from Wolf9466. For other AMD GPUs mining Ethash and Ubqhash might not be the fastest, though you can still give a go on your mining hardware. We prefer to stick mostly to CPU mining with SRBMiner-MULTI as it is one of the fastest options for a number of algorithms and coins such as Micro Bitcoin’s Power2b algorithm. The new version also adds some useful options for the newly added algorithms and comes with some fixes and improvements in general, you can see the full changelog below.

SRBMiner-MULTI CPU & AMD GPU Miner 0.4.4 changelog:
– added ‘ethash’ algorithm
– added ‘ubqhash’ algorithm
– added parameter ‘--esm‘ to set ethash/ubqhash stratum mode for pool (0 – eth-proxy, 1 – miner-proxy)
– added parameter ‘esm’ to pools config (ethash/ubqhash stratum mode for pool (0 – eth-proxy, 1 – miner-proxy))
– added parameter ‘--enable-ethash-leak-fix‘ which tries to workaround AMD driver memory leak when recreating DAG.
– fixed algo switching and tweak_profiles miner freeze bug.
– --gpu-tweak-profile option can now be used with auto gpu setup in cmd.

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

Nanominer 1.9.1 With AMD Support for the KAWPOW Algorithm

6, May 2020

The latest Nanominer 1.9.1 mining software has added support for the new KAWPOW algorithm used by Ravencoin (RVN) for AMD GPUs with Nvidia GPU support expected soon to be available as well. This is essentially the second GPU miner to support KAWPOW on AMD with the other one being NBMiner with both miners being closed source and with 2% development fee for the KAWPOW algorithm. Nanominer claims they use their own custom implementation for KAWPOW and we see slightly higher hashrate compared to what we get with NBMiner on the same AMD Radeon RX 580 GPUs, though both miners do manage to produce slightly above 10 MH/s on our test setup. We remind you that since KAWPOW is based on ProgPoW it is also GPU intensive and not so much memory dependent, so overclocking the graphic processor can help increasing hashrate.

Nanominer is a closed source miner developed by Nanopool available for Linux and Windows and supporting AMD and Nvidia GPUs as well as CPUs for mining. The supported algorithms for GPUs include: Ethash and Ubqhash with 1% dev fee, KawPow with 2% dev fee, Cuckaroo30 at 5% dev fee. The supported CPU algorithms are RandomX with 2% dev fee and RandomHash2 at 5% with support for mining CPU and GPU algorithms at the same time.

TT-Miner 5.0.0 Nvidia GPU Miner Removes the Development Fee

6, May 2020

The latest TT-Miner 5.0.0 comes with no development fee, officially, meaning that the software will no longer mine 1% of the time for the developer like it was doing up until this version. While support and bugfixes should still continue further miner development could be stopped apparently. The latest major release TT-Miner 4.0.0 has added support for KAWPOW mining and now with version 5.0.0 this becomes the second KAWPOW miner with no dev fee, just like the official kawpowminer and this is a bit of an advantage that you might want to consider over other KAWPOW miners that do have 1% or even 2% dev fee!

If you like TT-Miner you are of course welcome to donate some coins to the developer should you wish to support further miner development, official developer donation addresses listed below:

BTC: bc1q0jvewuzg860dj7f9a6988l4ml5dc9ddzlq9e9m
XZC: aP7pMvUSgvSqswGcNxf4bBBMJbwpUEEto4
ETH: 0xb1C3d505DD3e6C737939AC686649fD79350D6D0d
RVN: RDXzfnKVBKF9uLWTCC5ao7CzWSYmh62NHN

Do note that if you get a missing DLL error when trying to run the miner on Windows you may need to download the latest Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015, 2017 and 2019.

TT-Miner supports ProgPOW, KAWPOW, Ethash, UBQhash, MTP, Lyra2REv3, Epic, EagleSong and Kadena (Blake2S) algorithms on Nvidia GPUs and is available for Windows and Linux as pre-compiled binaries, a closed source miner with no developer fee for all of the supported algorithms since version 5.0.0.
