The latest WildRig Multi 0.24.0 Beta AMD GPU miner is just what the doctor ordered for Ravencoin (RVN) miners with AMD GPU as it is taking the top spot in terms of hashrate with the latest performance updates. At least with the default settings it is on par with what the previous fastest AMD miner for KAWPOW – nanominer manages to provide you in terms of hashrate on RX 4×0/5×0 series of GPUs, as far as the newer Navi cards are concerned it is possible that the latest nanominer is still better. The new version also brings two alternative kernels for KAWPOW that you can try to see if you can get a bit of extra performance from your hardware, you can set them with the --progpow-kernel command line option with values 1 and 2 respectively. The second one worked better in our tests providing us with higher and more stable hashrate compared to the first and the default kernel.

The latest WildRig Multi is currently available for Windows, Ubuntu Linux and HiveOS as a closed source binary and with a 1% developer fee built-in by default, however have in mind that the following algorithms are still with 2% dev fee – lyra2TDC, sha256csm, x17r and wildkeccak.

The latest WildRig Multi 0.23.0 Beta AMD GPU miner has added support for the the KAWPOW algorithm now used by RavenCoin (RVN) as well as ProgPoW used by Super Zero (SERO). The latest release also adds --benchmark option for ProgPoW algorithms (including KAWPOW) as well as added --benchmark-epoch option for estimated hashrate benchmark results for specific upcoming epoch number. The WildRig Multi is the third option for AMD GPU miners to mine the new KAWPOW algorithm and unfortunately is currently the slowest in our tests on AMD Radeon RX 580 8GB GPUs. The fastest one for AMD GPU miners currently seems to be nanominer followed closely by NBMiner. Still you might want to test and compare performance on your AMD GPUs to see what works best out of the three options as on different AMD GPUs there cold be difference in the hashrate with each of the miners.

The latest WildRig Multi 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 lowered to 1% using --donate-level=1. Only the wildkeccak algorithm is with fixed 2% dev fee with no possibility to be changed by the user using the command line parameter.

Update: The newer version 0.23.1 does bring a bit of a performance boost, but we are also seeing a lot of low difficulty share errors with it, so probably not quite there yet to compete with the alternatives! Also a good news is that the default dev fee has been lowered to 1%, so no need to use the extra command line option to do that manually anymore.

The latest WildRig Multi 0.20.6 Beta AMD GPU miner has added support for the Sha256csm algorithm used by the BitcoinFlex (BCX) and Consortium (CSM) crypto projects. The few prior versions were focused around adding X17r algorithm support if you have not updated the miner for a while you can check the Unknown Fair Object (UFO) that uses that particular algorithm which seems to be an Asian crypto project.

The latest WildRig Multi 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. The wildkeccak algorithm is with fixed 2% dev fee with no possibility to change by the user.
