Releases: mozkomor/GrinGoldMiner
GrinGoldMiner 3.0 - for hard-fork 7/2019
New release only for the new Cuckarood29 PoW (Grin hard-fork 17.7.2019). This release integrates all speed improvements of GrinPro2 miner.
Release contains two scripts to start the miner. One is simple console miner and the other starts local REST API for remote rig monitoring (the latter is compatible with GrinPro API).
Mainnet GrinGoldMiner 2.9
Nvidia 6GB cards and AMD 8GB cards supported. 6GB cards in Windows10 may not work as Windows steals some of the memory.
Changes:
- Improved stratum connection code
- Implemented tweaks based on miner from eth_saver (faster amd and slightly less CPU usage)
- Additional settings for primary stratum reconnect - new option in config to optionally reconnect from backup back to primary pool after X minutes. Either let miner generate new config or just add ReconnectToPrimary
- Fixed minor bugs
Requires .NET Core 2.2 installed!
https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download
Restart your PC after you install .NET Core Runtime and the miner (config setup)
Known bugs:
GPU auto-detection can fail - use manual config
Some AMD GPUs need setx GPU_MAX_WORKGROUP_SIZE 1024
Low virtual memory is hard to report and will leave some GPUs in fault state
Mainnet GrinGoldMiner 2.8
Nvidia 6GB cards and AMD 8GB cards supported. 6GB cards in Windows10 may not work as WIndows steals some of the memory.
Changes:
- 6GB CUDA solver for nvidia cards (also allows RTX 8GB mining on Win10)
- Better graph-rate on nvidia cards
- New logging options in config (disable logging completely, delete old logs)
- Bugfixes

Mainnet GrinGoldMiner 2.7
Nvidia 8GB cards and AMD 8GB cards supported (RTX 8GB may not work on Win10, but work on Win7)
Changes:
- Various smaller fixes and improvements
- Can be started without TUI for system where TUI des not work (cmd parameter mode=rolling)
- Respects difficulty from pool and only submits shares that meets this difficulty target
- Please try 2.8 beta1 if you are experiencing individual GPUs going offline (experimental)
- 2.8 beta 2 is experimental build trying to solve issue #62

Restart your PC after you install .NET Core Runtime and the miner (config setup)
Known bugs:
- GPU auto-detection can fail - use manual config
- Restarting miner quickly after closing it may skip some GPUs
- Some AMD GPUs need setx GPU_MAX_WORKGROUP_SIZE 1024
- Low virtual memory is hard to report and will leave some GPUs in fault state
Mainnet GrinGoldMiner RC4+RC3
UPDATE It is again ok to use RC4 with Grinmint pool. Recommended is to use RC4 for all situations, as it calculates difficulty correctly.
Nvidia 8GB cards and AMD 8GB cards supported (RTX 8GB may not work on Win10, but work on Win7)
Restart your PC after you install .NET Core Runtime and the miner (config setup)
- RC3: Grin based difficulty
- RC4: Changed difficulty check to U256.MAX() / HASH256
Known bugs:
- GPU auto-detection can fail - use manual config
- Restarting miner quickly after closing it may skip some GPUs
- Some AMD GPUs need
setx GPU_MAX_WORKGROUP_SIZE 1024 - Low virtual memory is hard to report and will leave some GPUs in fault state
