Hi,

I can't find the Algorithm: Cryptonight GPU to mine RYO, please advice.

Thanks,
Vlad
Hi Vlad. From what I can see, RYO is based on "Cryptonight-Heavy". You can use Awesome Miner with this algorithm and mining software like CastXmr, CryptoDredge, SrbMiner and XMRig.

You're looking at outdated information. They did a hard fork yesterday to the new Cryptonight GPU algorithm. The latest SRBMiner (1.7.Cool supports it.

I've also been noticing a lot of problems with profit calculations recently. Like yesterday when I created a new algorithm in AM for CN-GPU and assigned the Ryo coin to it, AM claims I'll mine 0.00 coins with it. This was with a 4 KH/sec rate - whereas the pool reported I'd earn almost 20 coins with that hash rate. AM did properly showed my RX 560 card as earning .13/day with its 300 H/sec. I have the same problem with Ubqhash where even though I have it set to 140 Mh/sec, AM claims I'll mine 0.00 coins a day with it.

Anyway, thanks for all the effort you've put into awesome miner!

Many thanks for the clarification about this coin - you are fully correct. In my defense I can point out that RYO still say "Cryptonight-Heavy" on the first page on their web site.

Please note that many CryptoNight variants uses a "Exponential Factor" (see the Properties Dialog of a coin) of 0, while the default for most other coins are 32. Awesome Miner will however look for "cryptonight" in the algorithm name and automatically use 0 as default for them. The result is that if you add an algorithm like "Cryptonight-GPU" it will be an exp. factor of 0 and if you call it "CN-GPU" it will be 32.

In both cases you can update this value in the Properties of the coin, and testing values like 0 and 32 is a good starting point.

I also looked into Ubqhash and it turns out that this coin requires a "Exponental factor" set to 0, while Awesome Miner used the default of 32 today. The workaround is to change it in the Properties dialog of the Coin. I will of course correct this for the next release of Awesome Miner.

Thanks for the good feedback!
