WildRig Multi 0.12.0 Beta With More Algorithms and Performance

5, Oct 2018

The active development for the WildRig Multi AMD GPU miner continues with full force with new algorithms, performance improvements and new features being added constantly. Since the last time we covered the miner there have been numerous new algorithms added as supported to the WildRig Multi miner – X16R, X16S, Timetravel and HEX along with some performance improvements for some of the already supported algorithms. Support for more new algorithms is probably coming soon with ones such as Bitcore, Xevan, Lbk3, X22i being the most likely candidates along with a benchmark mode for easier testing of the performance the software provides.

Do note that the WildRig Multi currently supports only AMD GPUs with the newer RX series and VEGA supported out of the box and a separate download of binary kernels needed for older R9 series Fiji, Hawaii and Tonga. Unlike its predecessor the WildRig Multi miner does not support Nvidia GPUs, it will only work on AMD-based mining rigs. The WildRig Multi 0.12.0 Beta is currently available for Windows, Ubuntu Linux and HiveOS as a closed source binary and with a 2% developer fee built-in by default, though it can be reduced.

New Faster X16R AMD Miner Forked from Avermore Miner

22, Apr 2018

Things are moving for the X16R algorithm used by Ravencoin (RVN) as well in terms of more and better miners for AMD GPUs as well as there are already quite a few options available for NVidia miners. There is now a new faster sgminer fork from KL0nLutiy (source) that is based on the recently released Avermore miner that promises 4-6% or even a bit more performance. The optimizations seems to be result from adding some optimized kernels from Wolf and they do seem to boost performance well, so if mining X16R on AMD definitely worth trying this miner. There is already an official Windows binary available with 1% developer fee with Linux binary expected to be made available soon, though you can compile from source as well.

Avermore is a New Optimized X16R and X16S Miner for AMD GPUs

18, Apr 2018

Avermore is a new sgminer fork intended for AMD GPU miners mining the X16r or X16S algorithms used by Ravencoin (RVN) and Pigeoncoin (PGN) respectively (source). The miner is from the same developer of the NeverMore miner for Nvidia GPUs for these two algorithms. The miner is open source and could be the fastest one for AMD GPUs for X16r and X16s for the moment (the latest version also adds limited support for the Xevan algorithm). There are Windows and Linux binaries also officially available though they apparently comes with a 1% developer fee built-in to support the further development of the miner. So if you are interested in mining Ravencoin (RVN) X16r or Pigeoncoin (PGN) X16s on AMD GPU mining rigs, then you might want to give this new miner a try.
