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.

Now You Can Mine KASPA (KAS) on f2pool With 500K KAS Contest for Miners

2, Mar 2023

The f2pool has just launched its Kaspa mining pool today with a 1% PPLNS payout scheme for KAS mining and the pool is running a contest to attract miners who will be competing for 500,000 KAS in total prizes. The Kaspa (KAS) mining contest will run starting on 2022-03-02 10:00 UTC until 2022-03-12 10:00 UTC, with the Top 20 miners by daily average KAS hashrate at f2pool going to receive rewards in proportion to their hashrate contribution from a total prize pool of 500,000 KAS coins. Apparently, the contest is favouring the bigger miners and not the small home miner, so a fairer distribution of the reward among miners could be used in order to attract all kinds of KAS miners… still it is nice to see that more of the crypto ecosystem is now slowly starting to adopt KAS support.

With the recent price increase for Kaspa (KAS) going past 1 US cent and keeping it there for a while there is increased interest in the project that is still generally kind of on the sidelines for many people into crypto. It is good now that GPU miners are making profit mining KAS and it is not only Kaspa, but some other new POW project are on the positive side regarding actually making profit after you pay for the electricity used. And Kaspa, although really good already in terms of speed has even more to offer with the upcoming upgrades, so if you still haven’t checked it out you might want to dig a bit deeper on blockDAG and the GHOSTDAG protocol and what KAS has in store for the near future as well.

The NEXA Crypto Project is Attracting the Attention of more Crypto Miners

25, Jan 2023

Just two weeks ago we have shared an interesting statistics based on the users of the widely used Hive OS Linux Mining OS that has shown the rapid increase of miners going to Kaspa (KAS) and now we are seeing the newcomer NEXA as well. So, in the last two weeks ETC miners have dropped 2% down to 24%, KAS is remaining strong at 12% and keeps its second place, even though there is a 2% drop these as well. RavenCoin (RVN) is still number three keepings its 9%, and the newcomer NEXA is fourth (wasn’t in the top 10 two weeks ago) with 6% pushing down ERG to the fifth place and the rest of the chart of the top coins remains pretty much the same. What this means is that NEXA has attracted some ETC and some KAS miners as well as some miners of other coins in order to secure its 6% which is half of what KAS has and 1/4 of what ETC still has as a share.

It is no wonder that NEXA is gaining the attention of more miners thanks to being a relatively new project and its higher profitability compared to other crypto projects that can be mined. It will be interesting to see how things will progress in the next few weeks and how it will fare compared to other minable coins that have a higher percentage of miners. It is especially interesting to note that there isn’t a change in the percentage of the RVN considering that just recently video cards with 4GB of video memory are no longer capable of mining the coins due to the DAG size reaching close to 4GB. The recent development of more mining software to support Dual-mining and Triple-mining of not only Ethash/ETChash coins together with Zilliqa (ZIL) such as KAS + ZIL or NEXA + ZIL might also help in drawing more users away from ETC GPU mining thanks to further increasing the profitability of mining KAS or NEXA over their standalone mining only.

It will be interesting to see how things will change in about two more weeks when we are expecting to see FLUX have its halving at block number 1313200 (around February 8th) when the block reward will get reduced from 75 to 37.5 coins. Currently FLUX is sitting at number 9 with stable 3% in the last two weeks, though after the halving we might see a drop in that number if there is an outflow of miners due to the drop in profitability of mining FLUX. And with the market like it is at the moment a lot of miners are hopping around to what is the most profitable at the moment and not necessarily what project may be the most viable in the long term.
