T-Rex 0.15.3 Nvidia Miner With KAWPOW Support for RavenCoin (RVN)

3, May 2020

The latest T-Rex Nvidia GPU miner version 0.15.3 has introduced support for the new KAWPOW algorithm just as expect in time for the fork of RavenCoin (RVN) that is coming in just a few days – May 6th 2020 at 18:00:00 UTC. Aside from the new Kawpow support for the upcoming RVN fork, the latest T-Rex miner also adds supports for ProgPow and MTP-tcr algorithms.

Aside from T-Rex adding support for KAWPOW in the latest version, there are a few other alternatives available already – the official open-source kawpowminer, the latest TT-Miner, the latest NBMiner and the latest GMiner. The only one that is still missing support for KAWPOW is Z-Enemy, however enemy has already announced that there should be an update before the RVN fork and it will also support the new Ravencoin algorithm.

T-Rex is closed source Nvidia GPU miner available for both Linux and Windows operating systems. The miner comes in multiple versions supporting CUDA 9.1, CUDA 9.2 and CUDA 10.0. The miner has developer fee of 1% for all of the supported algorithms, only tensority has a higher dev fee of 3%.

T-Rex 0.15.x Nvidia Miner to Also Support the KAWPOW Algorithm

1, May 2020

It has been almost half a year since the last release we have seen from the T-Rex Nvidia GPU miner with the latest updated it had focused on X16Rv2 support and fixes (the current Ravencoin mining algorithm). The good news is that a new version of the T-Rex miner is coming that will support the new KAWPOW mining algorithm that Ravencon (RVN) will very soon fork to – May 6th 2020 at 18:00:00 UTC. The current test version 0.15.x has added support for 3 new algorithms: kawpow (upcoming RVN fork), progpow and mtp-tcr, though do note that apparently there are still some things that need fixing as there seems to be some issues…

Trying out the latest T-Rex 0.15.1 test version (CUDA 9.2 version) has resulted in the miner unable to run as it is looking for nvrtc64 library with a different name than the regular one used and also included with the miner… renaming the dynamic library to the name the miner is looking for helps (the CUDA 10.0 version is fine). However even though the miner is running it has trouble properly mining on Minermore and BSOD Ravencoin testnet mining pools that already support KAWPOW mining. Hopefully the problems will soon be resolved and an official 0.15.x release will be made available for everyone to download and use for Ravencoin (RVN) mining after the May 6th hrdfork to the KAWPOW algorithm.

Definitely good news for everyone eagerly awaiting for the Ravencoin fork to KAWPOW to switch back to mining RVN coins with his GPU mining rigs as most miners that support Ravencoin mining are already supporting or will soon have proper support for the new algorithm. The only one that still remains silent regarding KAWPOW support is Z-Enemy and that was one of the most popular choices for mining RVN in the earlier days of the crypto projects. Hopefully we are going to see an update there as well. Meanwhile if you are looking for the best and most problem free miners for KAWPOW, then check out the closed source NBMiner 30.0 and the official open source one called Kawpowminer 1.2.0 with no dev fee.
