The latter is fine - for most Windows systems we have platform 1 when an Intel CPU is there.

Can you check on CPU load with all 7 cards? If the overall system load is >70% this may reduce speed because the Miner does not get enough attention by the operation system and thus the work is not scheduled fast enough.



It can be that your system runs out of memory. The Windows AMD drivers (not sure about the Linux ones) require that at the creation time of the GPU buffers there is as well RAM or virtual system memory available as requested GPU device memory. So with HIGH this means that virtual memory file has to be about 7.5 GB per card!

This video gives a good hint, how to increase virtual memory size on your system (For lolMiner it should be more then the 16g in the video, but the way to set it is the same) :

You could also try running less cards or --set-work-batch 2G instead of --set-work-batch HIGH in the beginning. Would like to know if this changes your cards from not working to working

Edit: Other reason indeed can be some driver issue - there is reason, that on Windows the default is 2G instead of AUTO or HIGH ... just because we had some trouble with AMD driver ...

Windows 10, R9 280X (from 2013/2014 Scrypt mining days), Blockchain driver can get 9KSol/s but unstable and miner crashes after a few minutes.

18KSol/s with 120W, +200 core, +500 mem.

Lolliedieb, thank You, it's a nice upgrade:

(stable rigs results)

R9 270 (stock) - 4,6   (Ksols/s)
R9 270x (stock) - 5,1
R9 280x (stock) - 8,9
R9 280x(MSI,OC) - 9,6

Win 10, blockchain driver.

Power: + 7%
Temperature: + 5%

Tomorrow I put RX 570 cards to test - I really hope, that result will be much better then last time...

Cheers!

Hi, everybody!
The last days new version 0.3 works minutes 20-40 and speed falls on 0 sol and so indefinitely there is 0 sol 0sol......
How to fight against it also what to do?
The mine from 5 pieces 1060 3

Haven't reported to you for some time.
Ever since the second available version it crashes much less. I turned off Windows Error Reporting and put running it in queue so it works non stop right now. I had a problem only once with the program trying to connect to the pool - I see v0.31 will fix this.

Surprisingly, this v0.31 did wonder on my rx480 rig! Using the same .bat files and new version gives like 8700sol and more where previous version did only 6100sol!!! You must have gotten the right parameters for rx480 now.

So far, I'm running lolMIner on 8 rigs now. On 2 of them I have this issue with hashrate going down when you are not connected through TeamViewer or AnyDesk. Also, if you just keep the main youtube.com page open - the hashrate doesn't go down. You don't need to run a YT video, the preview is enough. Very weird. How could that happen? If you can't reproduce the issue, let me know and we'll see if we can give you access to a machine where this happens. On one of the rigs where this happens, it happens only if you run two particular cards in the same .exe. If you run separate .bats nothing slows down. The moment you run those two particular ones in the some .bat (doesn't matter if you run only these 2 or another 1,2,3,4,5,6,7) the hashrates go down.

Awesome work once again Mr Lollie!

However, with my little setup I have found that with my Nvidia GTX 1060 v0.31 with "--optim=OFF" works better/faster than v0.3 and v0.22
(I think since writing this you have made another fix, I will re-test)

For this card (slightly overclocked) the average speeds for each version are:
v0.22 - 11200 sol/s
v0.3 -  11300 sol/s
v0.31 - 12500 sol/s

And now with v0.31 if I try to run it against my Intel CPU I see one core get very busy but not much else (in benchmark mode):

Also, the stdout from lolMiner (all versions) when piped into a file is regarded by my Linux host to be a data file, because I think of a control-@ null character...?

This is only a bit annoying when wanting to use text search tools such as grep on the log files, which I can fixup using the strings util.

$ grep Average test.log

Did you try the new --exit-on-zero parameter of 0.3? That should close the miner after at most two minutes after the first 0 sols was detected and the scripts provided with the miner (.bat file in Windows, .sh in Linux) should be able to restart it. Does this work for you? If you want a quicker restart you can set the long stats interval shorter.

Yes I tried, but it doesn't solve a problem of that why speed falls on 0 sol. There is a wish to find out the reason of it that you have corrected this falling on 0.
Advise please the program for automatic start of your miner when it is switched off. And that I have touched already 3 such bat and not one doesn't work (

hello guys!! nice job on the miner

I have one question: Does this miner works for amd rx 570/580 vegas 56/64?

thanks!!!
