Re: lolMiner 0.5 Equihash Miner, Update: Sep 25th: More Speed & AION Mining
So I decided that I will change some things for future versions.
First I will design a more flexible mining back end that schedules work better then now. This means that 0.51 will likely be AMD only. Then I will see if I finally learn some CUDA to add support for Nvidia back in, algorithm by algorithm. Seems like a lot of work? It is! But I got the feeling that the algorithms are not bad in itself. In fact on AMD they work pretty well on on Nvidia you can see here and there its potential. So I think it is worth doing the effort.
Stay tuned.
Ps: will later reply to the concrete support requests here. Right now busy with typing a new front page entry. Keep mining
First off i just want to thank you for your continued work on this miner.
It really is coming along. I have knocked how lack luster its performance was in the past and due to the low hashrate deemed it unusable. I tested this version out and have it running well on a 4 card AMD rig on windows 10 with crimson drivers. Running solid at 21-23 sols per 570/580. A useable alternative to claymore / ETH.
Unfortunately the 6 card 570/580 rig will crash as soon as mining begins. Also running Crimson Drivers or the same version of Windows 10 (1709). I played /tested on this rig for a few hours and have found no stable solution.
You mentioned directing this Miner solely at AMD and i think that is a great idea. Unless the production was very close to EWBF 0.5, i dont think any Nvidia miners would jump on anyways. This is a very nice Niche Miner that should target team red.
Hoping that directing solely at AMD will get my other rig up and running on LOL....for now it is back on ethash via claymore.
Thanks for what you do and keep up the good work
