Mining Evolution (EVOX) and Morelo (MRL) Using RandomARQ Algorithm

16, Apr 2020

Evolution (EVOX) and Morelo (MRL) are two relatively new crypto projects that both use the RandomARQ algorithm first introduced by ArQmA (ARQ) for mining (variation of RandomX). What is interesting about this algorithm is that it is more balanced in terms of CPU performance between Intel and AMD, unlike the standard RandomX algorithm where the latest AMD Ryzen processors are doing significantly better. So if you have some Intel CPUs that you want to use for mining you might want to get more details about those two projects, of course AMD users, especially with Ryzen processors might also check them out. What we don’t seem to like that much about both projects however is that apparently the majority of hashrate (over 95%) is centralized in a single Chinese pool called Walemo, and this is definitely not that good. As far as mining software is concerned, RandomARQ is widely supported by most popular RandomX miners out there such as XMRig, SRBMiner-Multi and XMR-STAK-RX.

New SRBMiner-MULTI Miner 0.4.3 With Tellor (TRB) Support

12, Apr 2020

The latest SRBMiner-MULTI CPU and AMD GPU Miner version 0.4.3 has added support for the Tellor (TRB) algorithm for GPU mining, though not all mining pols are apparently supported as the miner is compatible with trb.uupool.cn and other pools that use the same stratum implementation, but will not work on hashpool.com. Do note that Tellor (TRB) can also be mined using the latest NBMiner 29.0 that also supports Nvidia GPU mining. However GPU mining for this algorithm may already be not be profitable for GPUS having in mind that the Tellor algorithm has recently been made available for Blackminer FPGA miners. Below you can find the full changelog for the latest SRBMiner-MULTI and a download link.

SRBMiner-MULTI CPU & AMD GPU Miner 0.4.3 changelog:
– Added ‘tellor’ algorithm (trb.uupool.cn compatible stratum)
– Improvements on ‘minotaur’ algorithm
– Guided setup fixed & simplified

New XMRig 5.10.0 Miner With AstroBWT AMD GPU Mining

23, Mar 2020

The latest release of the XMRig 5.10.0 comes with support for the AstroBWT algorithm on AMD GPUs, besides the already available CPU mining support, along with some optimizations for the algorithm used by the DERO project since a fork switching the algorithm earlier this month. another important change in the miner is that the cn/gpu algorithm is now disabled by default and will be removed in next major release (v6.x.x), as well as a major TLS (Transport Layer Security) subsystem update. As far as AMD GPU performance on the AstroBWT algorithm compared to CPU mining, an AMD Radeon RX 580 8GB does seem to produce a hashrate slower than that of a mid-range CPU. A higher-end processor such as AMD Ryzen 3900X could be as much as 4 times faster than a RX 580 GPU, so AMD GPU mining may not be that attractive for AstroBWT.
