Will this miner also support algo switching so we can move to auto algo switching pools?
since most mayor CN algos is now supported

Hi!

We debated this but decided we should rather focus on more algos in TRM. As usual, Team Red is lagging Team Green in a very distinct fashion, so if we allow ourselves to zoom out a little I think our time is better spent finding more profitable options for AMD.

That said, algo switching with TRM is already fully doable using the MoneroOcean fork of Meta-Miner, see I managed to sneak in a pull request adding support for TRM a while back. As soon as I can find some time I'll write a proper guide on how to use Meta-Miner with TRM, but if you're somewhat tech savvy I think you'll be able to set it up yourself! Otherwise, PM me and I'll try to get you going. It's been a while since I last tried it myself, I do hope we haven't broken anything.

This is the github repo: https://github.com/MoneroOcean/meta-miner/releases. I see that he just made a new release ~6 days ago that bundles the TRM support as well, nice! I think that probably will be problematic is our new auto-tuning approach combined with meta-miner's benchmarking mode, it might present some skewed results. For optimal performance, I guess you should tune all algos separately first, then include full configurations in the meta-miner config file.

Cheers, K



I totally support your decision to focus on more algos in TRM than spend time on algo switching capability which most of use don't use. There is a reason why your miner is called Team Red miner. It's sole existence is to increase the utility of AMD GPUs beyond just CN/Ethash algos. Make us AMD fanboys proud !!  Grin
