The latest SRBMiner-MULTI CPU and AMD GPU Miner version 0.4.5 adds support for the RandomX-based RandomEpic algorithm used by the Epic Cash (EPIC) crypto project for both solo and pool mining. There are also some performance improvements for the RandomX algorithm for CPUs as well as for Ethash and Ubqhash on AMD VEGA GPUs. You also get a number of fixes and new features, the full changelog is included below:

SRBMiner-MULTI CPU & AMD GPU Miner 0.4.5 changelog:
– Added ‘randomepic’ algorithm (EpicCash RandomX) solo/pool
– ‘ethash’ and ‘ubqhash’ algorithm faster ~1.5% on Vega
– ‘RandomX’ algorithm improvements
– Fixed allocation of ‘RandomX’ dataset for 1GB pages (--randomx-use-1gb-pages parameter)
– Fixed an issue with MSR tweaks not being applied correctly
– Lowered ‘minotaur’ algorithm devfee to 2%
– Fixed crashing of ‘minotaur’ algorithm on AVX2 capable cpus
– ‘--send-stales‘ is now set per pool, it accepts true/false. Default is true.
– ‘send_stales’ parameter added to pools config file too
– ‘–gpu-intensity’ option can now be used in combination with auto gpu setup in cmd
– Improved gpu watchdog
– Added temporary parameter ‘--cnpool-bbc-fix‘ which disables workers if job diff >= 50
– Minor bug fixes

SRBMiner-MULTI Miner is a closed source miner available for Linux and Windows, supporting CPU mining algorithms as well as some AMD GPU ones, though we mostly use it for processor mining. The miner has a built-in developer fee of 2.50% for cryptonight_bbc, 2.00% for bl2bsha3 and minotaur, no fee for blake2b and yespowerurx and 0.85% for all others that are supported.

YentenCoin (YTN) is an interesting project that we have stumbled upon when looking around for CPU-only crypto coins and we were pleasantly surprised by it – a good presentation, ongoing development, large number of pools and listed on a number of smaller crypto exchanges. It all seems great, until you look at the trading volume – almost one, yet there seems to be a few hundred people mining the coin. The project describes itself as “the best CPU coin” that can be mined wit everyone that has a computer (CPU crypto coin) and that could’ve been true if it had larger user base and more trading and usage going on as the rest seems quite OK already. So we wanted to give our readers an idea of the project, so maybe it could get some more attention that it deserves.

YTH uses the YespowerR16 mining algorithm, meaning it is intended to be mined with processors only, no GPU mining here, sorry. A good choice of a mining software would be cpuminer-opt or SRBMiner-MULTI, though there are other options available as well. The YespowerR16 algorithm is Intel friendly, meaning that AMD Ryzen CPU owners might want to go for RandomX-based projects in order to maximize their processor’s potential instead. YentenCoin (YTN) even has its own simple GUI miner that might not be the best performing one, but sure seems easy enough for everyone to use.

The largest mining pool for YTN currently is CPU Pool that has some other small CPU-only crypto projects available for mining. You can also try Yenten Pool and the coin is also available on the Zergpool and Zpool where it can be autoexchanged to BTC if you do not wish to mine YTN coins directly. As for exchanges, a good starting point would be Graviex and Crex24, though as we have already mentioned there is currently not much trading going on for YentenCoin.

The latest SRBMiner-MULTI CPU and AMD GPU Miner version 0.4.4 adds support for Ethash and Ubqhash crypto algorithms and you might want to give the miner ago for these two particular algorithms if you ave a Navi-based AMD GPU (Radeon RX 5500/5600/5700 series) due to optimized kernel from Wolf9466. For other AMD GPUs mining Ethash and Ubqhash might not be the fastest, though you can still give a go on your mining hardware. We prefer to stick mostly to CPU mining with SRBMiner-MULTI as it is one of the fastest options for a number of algorithms and coins such as Micro Bitcoin’s Power2b algorithm. The new version also adds some useful options for the newly added algorithms and comes with some fixes and improvements in general, you can see the full changelog below.

SRBMiner-MULTI CPU & AMD GPU Miner 0.4.4 changelog:
– added ‘ethash’ algorithm
– added ‘ubqhash’ algorithm
– added parameter ‘--esm‘ to set ethash/ubqhash stratum mode for pool (0 – eth-proxy, 1 – miner-proxy)
– added parameter ‘esm’ to pools config (ethash/ubqhash stratum mode for pool (0 – eth-proxy, 1 – miner-proxy))
– added parameter ‘--enable-ethash-leak-fix‘ which tries to workaround AMD driver memory leak when recreating DAG.
– fixed algo switching and tweak_profiles miner freeze bug.
--gpu-tweak-profile option can now be used with auto gpu setup in cmd.
