Can you help to compile new XMR stak 2.4.5 0% dev for new fork from Masai and Haven ? Thanks a lot

You simply duplicate the lines starting with { "index" in the amd.txt file like this:


This is for a single RX 570 (4GB) because that's what I have.

The easiest way to do this is to let xmr-stak generate the amd.txt file automatically (which it will do the first time it is run) then edit that file to double up on the index lines. You will likely have to adjust the intensity value to get the best hashrate and stop it from crashing, but the other parameters should be the same as shown above (the default choices for strided_index and mem_chunk may not be ideal).

NB - I'm still running 2.4.2.

thanks for making this. I tried to follow instructions, but I had trouble with visual studio since I already have a few versions of it installed, the cuda downloader for visual studio integration failed.

Yours worked instantly! 2 ez 

I'm not sure what the hell happens (because so far I have been asleep each time) but I have some issue which seems to crash three instances of the miner (2.4.4) running on two machines. Last night it was after running great for 16 hours, mining Loki (which has a very low difficulty right now which is good, but has taken a price hit - but I am HODLing anyway).

Did you manage to compile 2.4.5 yet? I was going to try to teach myself how sometime but it's like going back to f'ing school.....

no luck on trying with 2.4.5 yet.  Probably sometime tomorrow since Ill be at a location where I can uninstall and reinstall everything for the third time to try and compile it.

The issue was a fluke;  seems right before the completion of the new windows 18xx update.   I tried running 2.4.2, and it gave the same no connect error.

When I came home later that day my machine had rebooted itself automatically, and 2.4.4 launched no problems again.   It was an odd one.


Go into the CPU config, and remove the CPU threads.... leave it blank brackets {}.   See if stability comes back.   I have a LGA775 machine right now that gets TLS socket errors and reconnects every so often.  The auto emails from nanopool from that machine are quite annoying.

I really appreciate if you can compile the latest version 2.4.5. Thanks

lol, yeah, ive been under the weather the past week and my life has definitely not been normal.  I am hoping to get into work today and work late to try and make up for lost time.

As soon as I am able to sit down at a high speed internet location, ill attempt another recompile.


I noticed with 2.4.4 my cuda libraries would not be able to use the old gtx 5xx series and older.... no bueno.   I may have to remove cuda 9, and reinstall cuda 7.5 and cuda 8, and see if I can get support back in the 4.4.5 version.    I attempted swapping for my old cuda_backend.dll file that worked; and it crashed the app, so I am assuming that happens because the new algos and functions added to cuda_backend.dll were moved around and changed somehow making the old library foreign language to the new app build.


Ill be walking into uncharted territory, because I believe to compile with cuda 7.5 and 8, Ill need to install VS2015....   so yeah.   fingers crossed I guess.

I just wish this crap would continue working after the first time you reboot the machine.

Not helping that im doing it on a laptop, but I ritually hibernate it now.  just cause.   

nice thread here, looking forward 2.4.5 version

I got sick of windows sneaking in updates I had all my rigs running 10 pro with updates totally disabled and somehow they all updated so after playing on google for awhile I was able to find a win 10 pro stripped down with no apps or anything I haven't had one issue since

@JaredKaragen   Did you ever compile XMR-STAK-2.4.8 ?  Thx
