We have the monthly mega block today, that's  403,200 $GENX in just one block!

No better time to start mining GENX and get a head start on your masternode. Smiley

Looking forward to this! It'll make some very nice inroads on that new masternode, indeed.

Can't  figure out how to add a file to existing folder (directory?) I think.

I'm not sure I have the capability of blind walking you through directory copying and file editing on Windows if you've never done it before.  Usually my "go to" solution for this situation is to recommend hiring a kid in the neighborhood to come do it for you for a few bucks. Kids always know how to hack any computer. Wink

Mostly you want to right click on the folder/directory, choose the 'copy' from the dropdown menu, hold down the ctrl key and tap the 'v' key. That should create a new directory renamed with a " - Copy" added into the name. You can edit your .json file in there for your remaining GPU's and then run the miner bat file from that new directory.

Thank you for your help, CygnusMinor. Using your technique I now have 3 cards mining nominally (2xSapphire 470 8gb and 1xXFX 580 8gb). But, what gives? I have a 4x470 4gb MSI rig running smoothly and a mix of 4 XFX 580s running alongside of 2 1060s on another rig without struggle? I am getting a "Too long to connect to stratum" delay error before it starts mining now, also? Is there still a link to v4.3 around here somewhere? I might try to see if I can at least get something out of the other three cards or maybe a way to program a second separate miner on the same rig so as to run 2 separate miners at the same time? Anyone? Thanks for the help.
I am using Win10. Is there a way for me to change my worker IDs to read individually on the monitor? Can I add a number or nomenclature to the end of the addy to ID each rig separately? Thanks, again

To hit the other cards, you can create a new .json file and modify its "DEVICES" entry to be [4,5,6] instead of "AUTO" (or whatever numbers your remaining cards are - FYI, I get core dumps if I select a number that goes beyond my available cards)
I just copied the entire directory into a new directory, edited the copied .json and ran lolMiner in that new directory so that it picked up the edited .json by default. I believe you can also just copy the .json file to a new name in the same directory and use the --usercfg command line option to point to the new .json file. I didn't get too elaborate with my config.

Good evening everyone. I'm trying to start a new rig with v6. I have 2 other rigs running with v6 with zero missteps, thank you Lolliedieb. This new miner reads 6 cards ok (2x580 8gbs and 4x470 8gbs) but will not mine more than 3 of the 6 cards even after repeated tries including restarts and a new download. And those 3 cards are running at only ~3 sol until they shut down after 3-4 minutes. A couple of times 3 of the six cards have mined at full speed (~27 sols) but then shut down after less than a minute without any error notice. The other 3 of 6 cards always just read 0 sols. Anyone have an idea? Thank you for responding.

update... I had the same results after trying to run v5,also. Additionally, the benchmark miner will not run at all....

Big, there's a known problem that occurs sometimes with using 4+ cards at the same time under a single lolMiner process which may be causing your issue.

Try adjusting your .json from:
"DEVICES" : "AUTO"
to:
"DEVICES" : [0,1]

and see if that runs without problems. If so, you can add additional GPU's in there until it becomes unstable. I'm currently running just 3 GPU's per lolMiner process.

Fully powered Vega 56's are getting:
Average speed (300s): 32.7 sol/s | 32.9 sol/s | 38.6 sol/s | 36.9 sol/s | 38.7 sol/s Total: 179.8 sol/s

Ignore the first two numbers - I had to undervolt my 64's as full watts swamped my ps. The last three are 56's, so it's averaging around 37-39 sol/s fully powered. Just don't want to spend an additional 60w per card to get another 3-5 sol/s Smiley

The fully powered (240w) Vega 64's (first two numbers) are giving me 41-43 sol/s:
Average speed (300s): 41.8 sol/s | 42.5 sol/s | 31.2 sol/s | 29.1 sol/s | 31.0 sol/s Total: 175.5 sol/s

Nice progress, Lolliedieb. I've since changed from AMD driver to ROCM 1.9, so the comparison to the numbers above may not be apples to apples, but here are the results using ROCM 1.9 on Ubuntu 18.04 with .06 alpha for stand-alone review:

Vega 56 (fully powered, only compute option set) :
Average speed (300s): 40.8 sol/s | 38.7 sol/s | 40.2 sol/s Total: 119.6 sol/s

Vega 64 (fully powered, only compute option set) :
Average speed (300s): 45.0 sol/s | 45.5 sol/s Total: 90.5 sol/s

Sounds good, Lolliedieb! It would be great if you could begin tweaking it to run well on Linux ROCm 1.9.x if you have time available. It seems like that's the direction AMD linux support is heading...

Thanks. Obviously there is some space for improvement for VEGA. It's ok for 4years old furi to do 34sol/s but not for vega.

Version .41 was getting 18-19 sol/s on Vega 56's (144_5).

Also, I undervolted. Fully powered Vega 56's are getting:
Average speed (300s): 32.7 sol/s | 32.9 sol/s | 38.6 sol/s | 36.9 sol/s | 38.7 sol/s Total: 179.8 sol/s

Ignore the first two numbers - I had to undervolt my 64's as full watts swamped my ps. The last three are 56's, so it's averaging around 37-39 sol/s fully powered. Just don't want to spend an additional 60w per card to get another 3-5 sol/s Smiley

What is good hashrate for vega56 in 144_5?

I've got strange result where old Furi equals Vega at about 34sol/s

On Ubuntu 18.04.1 running AMD 18.30 drivers, I'm getting the following hashrate for two vega 64s (first two) and two vega 56s on 144_5 (ZEL):
Average speed (300s): 36.4 sol/s | 38.0 sol/s | 34.8 sol/s | 33.2 sol/s Total: 142.4 sol/s
Average speed (300s): 37.7 sol/s | 37.5 sol/s | 34.6 sol/s | 32.8 sol/s Total: 142.6 sol/s
Average speed (300s): 36.6 sol/s | 38.3 sol/s | 34.3 sol/s | 33.0 sol/s Total: 142.3 sol/s

Undervolted the 64s to 130w, and the 56s to 110w and changed them to compute - no other changes (not quite convinced other changes have any effect in this driver).

--- edit: add 192_7 numbers ---
Same undervolting 56:110, 64:130 (with an additional vega56) for 192_7 (GENX). First two 64s, last 3 56s:
Average speed (300s): 23.5 sol/s | 24.1 sol/s | 20.7 sol/s | 19.8 sol/s | 20.4 sol/s Total: 108.4 sol/s
Average speed (300s): 23.9 sol/s | 24.1 sol/s | 20.8 sol/s | 19.6 sol/s | 20.1 sol/s Total: 108.7 sol/s

Hmm have not seen this till now, but may be. ctrl+c is a bit difficult to handle because it stops program immediately, so I even can not catch this to wait until cards have stopped what they just did to exit gracefully. Maybe I must think of an other way to stop the miner.

Ok, my bad. I tried to double up a single power cable to one of the Vega 64's instead of using two separate power inputs. Correcting that config resolved the crash (which never had a kernel, panic, btw. It would simply reboot, which spoke to hardware level behavior).

Sorry for the false alarm. Smiley

So I'm seeing an odd behavior with 144.5 mining (zelcash in this case, 2 Vega64's, 3 Vega56's). If/when I lose connection to the pool, the moment the worker is reauthorized, my linux box crashes and reboots:

and then the immediate reboot. I don't see the kernel panic in the log, but I see ubuntu 18 uses syslog caching by default. I've removed caching and we'll see if it catches something on the next crash.

This is more of an FYI unless you see something in your reconnect code that might cause a panic. However, I'm not even sure whether the lost connection is a symptom of an imminent crash or the actual cause. Who knows, it could simply be instability with one of my risers...

I'll see if I can track down more info in the logs next time.

edit: I also notice that if I ctrl-c out of the miner, it's a 50/50 toss up that restating the miner causes a reboot on reconnect. So this is likely related. Perhaps something about the state that the card is left in during an abnormal stop? Reuse that card and cause the panic? I find that I usually have to power off the clear the cards before the system is stable again. Just speculating...

I'm undervolting and using the latest amd 18.30 drivers for ubuntu.

Thanks Lolliedieb, working great as usual. I'm still mining away on HEPTA with my vega/rx570 rig. I have a request, and not sure if it's possible, but I notice that my pool rated efficiency goes down as I start undervolting the cards (I presume from bad blocks I'm sending in?). Is there any way we can get some sort of percentage of valid results from your internal checks for each of the cards that you display sol/s on? Something I could use to tell if I've undervolted too far on one card or if any particular card is returning more bad blocks  than another? Is that even possible?

Just a thought. Otherwise, I'm always happy to see any performance improvement that you could gain from future patches!

Thanks,
Cyg

edit: Also, would there be any benefit to adding a CPU option to the miner? I'm not sure how many sol/s we could expect from it but I feel like I need the cpu on this rig working towards something instead of sitting idle...  Tongue

seems it doesn't work for vegas on linux

I'm able to get lolMiner working with two Vega 56's on Ubuntu 18.04.4 with amdgpu-pro-18.30-633530.tar.xz (legacy and pal both installed) by symlinking libamdoclsc64.so to libamdocl64.so and making certain I had the 'video' group on the user running the miner.

However, I'm with wojcieh and am only able to get 31-33 sol/s out of each of my two stock MSI airboost vega 56s (I undervolt them, but even at normal voltage I get max of 33). Are you seeing that 56 - 63 sol/s performance only on Windows? Did you make vbios changes?

That's a pretty amazingly dramatic performance improvement.

I understood what the problem is, not all pools support this miner.
Default settings for mining are coming.
I change to this pool, snowgem.zhash.pro there is no start of mining.

Edit.
Hepta , RX 480 4Gb, OS Win 7x64.
Pool Nibiru no support this miner, pool dragonpool.xyz there is a connection, the mining is started.

For SnowGem I used:
"POOL" : "mining.miningspeed.com",
"PORT" : "3022",
