A git repository for lolMiner release versions

Recent Changelog:

lolMiner 0.9.1

  • Added GRIN-AT31 solver for 16G AMD cards (Better performance on Radeon Vega FE, Radeon VII and Sapphire RX 570 16G)
  • Updated GRIN-AT31 solver for 4G AMD cards (Better performance on Fiji based GPUs, Polaris 10 4G)
  • Fixed a bug causing too low pool hash on GRIN-AT31
  • Added experimental GRIN-AT31 support for AMD Navi (8G), AMD Fiji (4G) and AMD Hawaii (4G / 8G) GPUs

Edit: support for Fiji was broken, A fix can be found here: https://github.com/Lolliedieb/lolMiner-preview/releases/tag/0.9.1hotfix

lolMiner 0.9

  • Significant performance improvement for GRIN-AT31 on 8G AMD cards (+22% on Polaris to 30% on Radeon VII)
  • Disabled 16G solver for GRIN-AT31 (the 8G is faster at the moment)
  • Reduced Grin stale shares
  • In command line lolMiner now accepts --pool address:port pattern
  • Fixed a bug with the API crashing when accessed by Chrome based browsers
  • Fixed a bug in EXCC stratum not passing number of submitted shares to the API

lolMiner 0.8.7

  • Added support for Beam Hash II on older AMD cards (R 9 200 / 300 4 & 8G cards; R9 280(X), HD 79x0 with 3G). Note that the auto-switcher is only working with at least 4G, for the 3G cards please use --coin BEAM-II manually on fork height.
  • Fixed an issue with Genesis Network (GENX) missing in lolMiner 0.8.x

lolMiner 0.8.6

  • Added support the BEAM hard fork on block 321321 (approx Aug15th).
  • Fixed a bug with the BEAM stratum back end in case of formatted job descriptions (e.g. new Nicehash platform)

lolMiner 0.8.4

  • Fixed a 0 sol/s issue for Zelcash
  • Reduced Zelcash memory usage to 2.9 GBytes
  • Fixed a bug with the stratum for 125/4, 144/5, 192/7 and 96/5 in case the pool sends a very low job id.

lolMiner 0.8.3

  • Added 16 GByte solver for Cuckatoo-31 (GRIN). Better performance and less energy use for Radeon VII, Radeon Pro Duo Polaris, Vega Frontier and RX 570 16GByte

lolMiner 0.8.2

  • Added support for ZelHash (EquihashR 125/4/0) for the hard fork (July 2nd)

lolMiner 0.8.1

  • Added support for NiceHash on Grin
  • Fixed a bug with some pool software (e.g. grinmint.com)
  • Reduced number of stale shares submitted

lolMiner 0.8

  • Added support for Grin (Cuckatoo-31) for 4G (Slean) and 8G cards. The parameter is "--coin GRIN-AT31"
  • Grin cycle finding is completely done on GPU, the miner has almost 0 CPU load (on AMD, Nvidia has some due to OpenCL back end)
  • Stratum bug fixes (NiceHash) for 144/5, 192/7 and 96/5
  • Fixed AUTO192_7 configuration
  • Improved general stability
  • Added a distinct 1G / 3&4G / 6&8G kernel for mining MNX (Windows, Linux had this in 0.7.1)

lolMiner 0.7

  • Added support for Beam (BEAM, modified Equihash 150/5), only tuned for AMD cards
  • Added TLS support for stratum. The default is off for all coins except Beam but on for Beam. This adds a new parameter --tls to control TLS on / off (see manual on usage)
  • Some bugfixes and reworks in the stratum code. It is more stable now
  • Complete rework of the mining back end. Lower CPU load for AMD graphic cards.
  • GPU sorting changed. Its now sorted by PCIE bus address. This addresses are also shown at startup and in API.
  • Integrated all kernel files to the executable
  • Lowered fee of ALL algorithms / coins to 1%
  • Added --help parameter (needs formating)
  • API update interval is now fixed to 10 seconds
  • API now smooths the performance data over approx one minute

Coin specific changes:

  • Removed workbatch parameter for MNX, its obsolete now
  • Removed 96/5 Nvidia specific kernel
  • Changed Safecoin (SAFE) from Equihash 144/5 to 192/7
  • Added Vidulum (VDL), Equihash 192/7
