After the recent update of both lolMiner and BzMiner that brought AMD GPU support for NEXA, there is a new update for both (jointly working on developing Nexapow) that bring fixes and additional performance and efficiency improvements. You can expect to see an improvement in the NEXA mining performance by 6-8% on all supported Nvidia and AMD GPUs (except on AMD Vega / VII) as well as improved power efficiency with the latest lolMiner 1.70 (nexapow algorithm improvements are the focus of this release). Using BzMiner v13.4.0 you should be able to get similar results in terms of improved performance and efficiency on your mining GPUs, though BzMiner also comes with a number of fixes regarding NEXA, ZIL, Radiant and Ergo fixes as well. Do note that the new NEXA implementation may require new overclocks for stability and performance, so old settings might need some adjusting for optimal results.

Do note that lately Windows releases are showing a bit late for lolMiner compared to the Linux versions, so check back a bit later if you do not yet see the Windows binary release of lolMiner 1.70 with improved NEXA performance and efficiency on GitHub yet. BzMiner has both versions for Windows and Linux up already for the new release, so Windows miners might give it a go while waiting for lolMiner’s Windows version to be uploaded.

While the latest updates of lolMiner and BzMiner are not the first to bring support for the Nexapow algorithm used by the NEXA project, they currently offer the fastest performance on AMD GPUs. Previously you could mine NEXA on AMD GPUs only using the WildRig Multi miner, now you can get significant performance boost with either the latest lolMiner 1.69 or BzMiner v13.3.0 (NEXA support is being jointly developed by both). Depending on your AMD GPU you could expect to get somewhere between about 12 and 20 percent performance boost compared to mining NEXA using the WildRig Multi miner, so if you were already mining NEXA on AMD GPUs you might want to upgrade your mining software now.

Meanwhile the NEXA project has also announced that it will be listed on the MEXC Global exchange at 14:00 on Mar 7 (UTC), bringing significant exposure to the crypto project to much wider market with MEXC being in the TOP 20 exchanges in terms of trading volume according to CoinMarketCap’s Exchange ranking data. So, you could expect that the interest, price and profitability of mining NEXA to also come up in the following days preceding the listing and after that as well. And that goes not only for AMD GPU miners, but also Nvidia GPU miners as well that had a heat start in being able to mine NEXA early on… it might still not be too late to join though.
