Thank you for your help, but regrettably establishing 1 in the group did not help. And also checked list devices, it also does not help me according to readme.

Readme file but I read it is not entirely clear, it is also a beta with a thousand problems. The only way I have to work with is a window for Grafica and it gives some amazing results.

Ok, maybe readme is not so precise, so I will try to explain it slowly:

What is a platform?

First of all it is important to know that OpenCL can be run on tons of different processors, but requires a driver for the processor. Platform is hereby the OpenCL terminology for an OpenCL capable driver. Different to CUDA OpenCL allows multiple different OpenCL drivers on one computer, since there may be multiple OpenCL capable devices in the system. Especially when your rig has an Intel CPU it often happens that the Intel graphics driver are installed as well, because they ship with Windows.

LolMiner now requires to know which driver (platform) to use, since it only can use one at once. This is controlled by --platform . The platforms are numbered by integers starting with 0 (first driver), next 1 (2nd driver) and so on.

How to find out which platforms are there?
lolMiner offers the option --list-devices. When lolMiner is started with this parameter it will print out a list with all platforms that were found on the system. Additionally for every platform all devices are printed that are found within a platform. Note that we use the term device, because beside the GPUs (which are most common devices) the miner can also run on a CPU. For example on an AMD APU system --list-devices will often print out one platform (AMD) and then two devices, one for the integrated GPU and one for the CPU. The same is true for the Intel platform when your processor has integrated graphics.

After printing out the miner will close directly. To see the output in Windows you must run cmd (the Windows command line), navigate to the directiory where lolMiner-mnx.exe is in and then run lolMiner-mnx.exe --list-devices directly from the command line. Writing the --list-devices to the configuration file is not supported and running in the batch will end up in the miner closing instantaneously and you do not see a print out.

How to set --platform and --device?

After running the --list-devices parameter you know what drivers lolMiner found with which GPUs. Also the order should remain always the same. Just look in the printout which number is attached to the platform you want to use (It prints out "Platform : your platform name") . To select this platform use --platform in the configuration file.

Below platform number and name --list-devices prints a list of all devices within the platform. Usually this list starts with the first GPU (index 0), then prints more GPUs and afterwards the CPUs and other devices in your platform. To select the GPUs to run the miner on add --devce 0,1,2...,n for the first n-1 devices you want to use. E.g. when 4 GPUs were detected before you can use --device 0,1,2,3 .

Hope this helps configuring

What about high memory usage of the miner?

This is something that is a bit specific to AMD platform. Their OpenCL compiler is extremely aggressive and uses certain amount of memory and time to compile the code before it is send to your GPU. This is also the reason why the miner takes about 10 seconds before the "Start mining..." is printed. I observed that it usually is enough to have enough swap space (Linux) or virtual memory file (Windows) to start the miner on AMD. More RAM should not be required since this has only effect on the first 10 seconds of the miner running before the actual mining starts.

Hi, There seems to be bug regarding --enable-time-print as it is not printing time in my case on Windows 10 system. Just check once.

Odd ... I just tested it in Linux - will check if thats a Windows issue and try to fix it for next version

Miner have problem, if pool where it mines for devfee is down - miner stops mining for as too no matter if our pool is up, which is totally wrong by design.

The overall stratum interface has a lot of problems in 0.22. Therefore I made a complete new one for 0.3. This will handle things more gracefully.

I believe that I have nothing wrong, it continues to fail, it is always the same fault, it has to reconnect again and again. IF I use a simple configuration line in a .bat (one for each card)
lolMiner-mnx.exe --server mnx.suprnova.cc --port 7077 --user trucobit.work --p x --device 1 --set-work-batch 3

This works perfectly, gives a very high Hashrate, but then transforms into little currency.

But the configuration as it is stablished in 2 files, I leave the data, the list of devices, my configuration and the capture of the error reconnection continued

### User based configuration
--server mnx.suprnova.cc
--port 7077
--user trucobit.rig1
--pass x

### Device configuration
--platform 0

--device 0,1

On the other hand I do not see a direct relationship between got hash and obtained coins.

Yesterday in 2 hours with VERY SIMPLE configuration, I made 0.1 coins (3 rigs), then I used the trick of the youtune video that elevates the HASH but it seems unreal. I chose not to use youtube and specify --set-work-batch 8 gives almost the same Hasrate but I hope it is more real.

SUprnova in its estimates is never true, but it is not wrong by much. Here he tells me that I will get 6 coins a day and I do not even get one. It is as if part of the hashrate, even told by Suprnova, is not valid. It is an observation of mine.

Anyway I would like to be able to launch a single file for all the cards of a rig, instead of a file for each card, but I can not make it work.
