Hey guys, imao it is time for a

lolMiner Newsletter


So, whats going on:

1. I just updated both file archives (Bugfix)

The bug making problems with ZEL, ANON and others is fixed. The updated binaries are in the links on the start side post. So, from now you again can just use --coin ZEL and so on for mining. Sorry for the problems you had with this.


2. We are on HIVE OS
lolMiner was recently added as a custom miner to HIVE OS. See here for loading the package:

https://forum.hiveos.farm/t/custom-miner-lolminer/8135

Configuration notice:
The default is "COIN" : "BTG" and "DEVICES" : "AMD" in the package. To mine any other coin you must add "COIN" : "" to the "Extra Config Arguments" field. Overall this field uses the same style as the config file (Json). Please do not use --parameter VALUE there. This will likely make the miner just not run Wink

Note: I already forwarded the bugfix from first news point to the Hive team. It should be updated there as well soon.


3. lolMiner 0.6 Casting its First Shadows
Well it took me a while thinking about how I will do the next release. Last time doing a long coding phase and then release all at one bang was too problematic, because too many bugs remained uncovered during that process. But I also was not able to spend more time for testing, because of running out of personal time (I have to do other jobs beside, because currently lolMiner does not return me enough bugs to work on this exclusively).

So I decided to do it differently this time: 0.5 will remain the stable version for the next weeks. The same time I will put up a github with ready to use binaries for 0.6 alpha versions and use the git bug tracker for getting rid of bugs. The first version will have some changes in the API and already come with new 144/5 mining codes. The other codes will miss in first version.
Next I will then implement the new mining main loop that hopefully reduces CPU demand and fix problems with >5 GPUs and then I will successively add the other mining codes. I think it is a good idea to do so, because this way those who want to profit from first changes can do early but help me to get bugs out for all others later.

Release of first alpha snapshot will be later this week.



-------------------
And now answering your questions:

Miner is running and submitting shares, but hashrate is 0.00 at pool site.

Am I missing something in my bat file? Thanks,

lolMiner.exe --algo 144_5 --coin auto144_5 --pool us.voidr.net --port 2001 --user t1QwdYvNAtTiBL52QSUeqwADrJh7bz6gR2y.Rig2 --pass minpayout=50 --pers ZelProof

See manual. --pers is the wrong option in lolMiner Wink But also you just can update to the bugfix release and switch back to --coin ZEL



v 0.5 ~ 20 h/s per card
v 0.41 ~ 12 h/s per card

Great to see the improvements worked - hope we can add an other few sol/s on top soon Wink
