FYI - Been Testing this out on a gtx 1660 ti.  Using specifically a MSI Gaming X 1660 ti on windows 10 to equipool (zelcash).
Getting a solid 41 sols on only 85 watts, or 43 on 96 watts.
Just thought i would share results.

Thanks

VIRUS - AVOID.  this guy is spreading the filth.  See the PharmOtc "miner" that he is releasing as well
He will quickly delete this post as he did my others i am sure, but beware

Heads up,
I couldnt get this Miner to successfully run my 6x1070 rig.
Turns out that the 16gb Virtual memory i had set on Windows was not enough.
Bumped it up to 18gb (18432) and it was able to start mining.
It actually seemed like it wasnt going to run, and eventually fired up.
I think i need to bump up to at least 20gb virtual mem, but do not have that available on this rig.
Im going to hook up another SSD and set the virtual mem to it instead.

I had the same issue trying to run another miner (BEAM).
even though i have 8gb ram and all 6 GPUs have 8gb, the virtual memory was not enough on my system to run it.
(A 60gb ssd in windows does not hold up over time)

hope this helps someone.

Issue with Getting more than 2 to 3 Nvidia cards to fire at once.

There are a number of users reporting the same issue in the Vosk Coin Discord.
I have a 4 x 1070 / 2 x 1070ti rig.  All high end cards (MSI/EVGA)
It is Windows 10, older update- i think 1709, Virtual mem 20gb i think.
Using Afterburner.
Running older drivers 398.36..

I attempted the Miner from the Main site, as well as the one from Vosk.  the 9.0 version fires up the Miner, but everytime, i can get a max of 3 cards to run but usually 2 cards. It will be 2-3 random cards and not the same each time.  1 time it may be gpu 0 and 5, next time 0,1,2, etc etc
I reset cards to stock OC, same thing.  Moved the OC to what i use for Equihash 144 on EWBF, same result

 Below is a single example.
For the life of me i cant figure out why i cannot get all six spooling up.  Rig runs fabulous on EWBF, T-rex, zjazz, etc

first off...Happy with the new miner.
...
Lollieb...do you think lolminer can accommodate the new lbk3 algo that Verticalcoin just went up on?
I know nothing on how the algos work on the backend or the programming aspects for that matter.
Just a miner but thought it couldnt hurt to ask.

First of all thanks Cheesy
I will have a look into that. Usually my back-end gets more and more flexible recently (i.e. AION needed a different stratum protocol, so I am now able to handle this). But I have to admit that new algorithms are currently not top priority - rather working on making the existing faster and the back-end more stable on multi GPU and less CPU time consuming. Hope to come along with first news regarding that soon Smiley

I try the
Code:
lolMiner.exe --benchmark ZER --shortstats 5 --longstats 60
It start hashing after about 5 seconds, then I use VPN and the problem fixed, thank you very much!
[/quote]

No problem...i would rather you continue to grow and improve lolminer on the current algo's as well to be honest and continue to make AMD more flexible.  Glad to be able to get my 2 amd rigs off off ethash now. 
This has given me new found hope for AMD Wink
Keep up the good work

Further Review on 6 card AMD rig (3x570, 3x580)
Windows 10 v1709, crimson drivers

At first the rig kept crashing as soon as the miner would spool up.
I had my settings the same as when i mine ETH.  approximately 1050 core voltage, -20% power, 1200 core, 2150 memory.
I thought for sure it was something with windows or the miner..hours of testing and finally had it hashing
around 125 sols for 6 cards.  Pretty low but using 950 watts.
After half a day of hashing that way i rebooted and then the miner would crash again upon each spool up.

**Solution Found.
Because i use afterburner and had windows check box checked, My settings were pulling on reboot.  For some reason my ETH settings wont run on LOL.  The Core Voltage and Core Clock have a lot more affect on 144,5 via LOLminer
Whereas my ETH based algos rely much more on memory clock, LOL is definitely using more Core than i am used to.

for me to get optimal Hashing from my 6 AMD rig:  (About 144 sols or 24 sols/card avg on 1160 watts at wall)

-Core voltage - 1150
-power -10%
-core clock -1350
-memory clock -2200

*can probably be pushed higher, but i am not comfortable pushing the core voltage or clock any higher.
Hope this helps someone

I have been running my 6 card AMD rig and my 4 Card AMD Gaming PC on LOL on Zelcash on Equipool now for 3 hours straight.

6 card AVG - 128.36 sols
4 card AVG - 90.63 sols

6 x 1070 rig - 254.96 sols.
------------------
6 Nvidia GTX 1070 > 10 AMD 570/580

It is quite nice though to be able to move to zhash.


*Is ANON supported on LOL?

Thanks for the hard work

**Update:
I have the 6 card AMD Rig up an running.  I updated windows 10 to 1803.  Still kept crashing.  I rolled it back to 1706 windows 10.  ran display driver uninstall.  Reinstalled, repatched the cards, re downloaded LOL.  It has been running steady for about an hour.
Cards  / Results - Avg:  (plus ETH comparison)

GPU 0: Sapphire Nitro RX 570 4gb - 19.5 sols (gets 30.9 mhs on eth)
GPU 1: Powercolor Red Red Devil Gold RX 580 8gb - 21.3 sols (Gets 30.5 Mhs on ETH)
GPU 2:  MSI Armor MK2 RX 580 8gb - 22.3 sols (Gets 30.7 Mhs on Eth)
GPU 3:  Sapphire Nitro RX 580 8gb - 20.5 sols (Gets 31 Mhs on ETH)
GPU 4:  Powercolor Red Red Devil 3fan RX 570 4gb - 19.3 sols (Gets 30.1 Mhs on ETH)
GPU 5:  Sapphire Pulse RX 570 4gb - 21.3 sols (Gets 30.5 Mhs)

So 123 sols on BTG (144,5)
where it gets 183 mhs on Ethash via claymore

Power difference - 980 watts on LOL - 1150 watts on ETH.

As i was typing this, LOL stopped hashing.  No error displayed, and system did not crash / reboot.  It simply stopped hashing.  Fired right back up and hashing at about the the same rates as above.  
I will continue to test
(I am on BTGpool.pro for reference.  Also setup a bat file for Zelcash on Equipool that i will try out)

Thanks
James

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 Wink

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
James

running from 21-23 sols per card which is equivalent to a gtx 1060 on ewbf 0.5
Are you joking? 1060 on PL60 makes 26-27sol/s on not the best 1060.
Hello Mr. negative,
A 1060 3gb = 23 sols on ewbf 0.5

So, I went into config and change to just Devices: [0,1,2],.  This time the miner connected and actually starting accepting shares...only recorded 1 share, it gave readout of sols twice and then system crash and reboot.  Dropping to just a single GPU for testing.

Set system to use just GPU 0 (an amd 570 4gb card)  hashing right around 20 sols, submitting and receiving shares it appears.  Seems to be running stable, avg 19.4 sols

Since my rig consists of 3 570s and 3 580s....i think i will put all 3 570s on and see if that stays stable.
- Nope, as soon as it made it to Start mining, freeze and reboot.

Tried 2 random cards, new job received twice, sol readout and crash.

Cannot seem to get more than a single card to run stable on the 6 card rig.
Thanks

Testing.  I have LOL up and running on a 4 x 570/580 rig.
Running on BTG on BTGpool.pro.
Results 4 cards averaging 88 sols total.
running from 21-23 sols per card which is equivalent to a gtx 1060 on ewbf 0.5
Not bad, not great.

Crazy thing is I cannot get it to run stable on my 6 x 570/580 rig.
Both rigs running Windows 10 update 1706.  Both are using Crimson Blockchain drivers.
Using the same configuration on both.

On the 6 card rig, LOL will start up, it will connect to pool, start job
:
I get using devince with all six
I get new target received,
i get new job received,
authorized worker,
start mining...

Followed by System restart.
I can watch the power will move up from 180, to 900 watts and after 2 seconds, crash back down and restart.
I ensured not a virus / firewall issue and created exclusion for the folder.
firing it up exactly as i do a claymore bat to ethermine, but crashes everytime.
Went back and tested on previous version of LOL and same thing.
Super odd.  I can mine other miners / bats , as well as awesome , nicehash with no issue.
Only LOL causing this.

Any ideas?
Thanks
