Mining on the RandomX algorithm for MacOS using the XMRig MacOS build

Mining on the RandomX algorithm for MacOS using the XMRig MacOS build Apple computers are not a popular choice for GPU mining, but for mining on a central processing unit (CPU) they can still be used on a par with a Windows PC... unless of course you can find a suitable miner with a binary assembly for MacOS or compile the source code for this OS yourself. So what about mining on RandomX? You will quickly find that none of the popular RandomX CPU miners, such as XMRig, SRBMiner-multi, XMR-STAK-RX, have executable files available for MacOS. Fortunately, there is an affordable solution, one of the users made the assembly XMRig 5.11.0 for MacOS, which may turn out to be exactly what you need if you own an Apple computer. Download XMRig 5.11.0 for MacOS.

4GB AMD Radeon RX 4xx / 5xx ETC mining problems on Windows

4GB AMD Radeon RX 4xx / 5xx ETC mining problems on Windows Miners using AMD Radeon RX 4xx/5xx GPUs to mine Windows ETC in the near future may start to get weirdly poor performance on the first video card in Riga, while the rest of the GPUs will work as usual. The reason for this is quite simple, although we are still quite far from 4 GB of DAG file size, since in the current 337 ETC era a DAG file of 3.63 GB in size is required (for the miner from Claymore), the first GPU in the system uses more video memory, since it needs display the operating system interface. As a result, when using Windows, the first GPU consumes approximately 140-150 MB of additional video memory. Therefore, the actually used memory is approaching the maximum size of 4GB. As a result, instead of 20-30 MH/s, you can start receiving 1-2 MH/s for the first video card in the system, and soon it may even stop showing any hashrate at all.

New NBMiner 29.0 with KAWPOW Support

NBMiner 29.0 kawpow algorithm Support for the new KAWPOW algorithm, which is likely to be used by the RavenCoin project for its mining, has been added to the latest version of the NBMiner 29.0 miner. The KAWPOW algorithm is based on ProgPow with several parameters specific to Raven Coin. So now besides the officially released kawpowminer and the recently updated Gminer, which now also supports KAWPOW, you also have a third option in the form of the latest NBMiner. It seemed to us that all these miners use the same implementation of support for this algorithm, so you should not expect a big difference in performance between this software. Below you can see the official list of expected performance on popular mining GPUs with default settings for the KAWPOW algorithm when using NBMiner 29.0.

New GMiner 2.05 with improved performance for Qitmeer (PMEER)

Новый GMiner 2.05 с улучшенной производительностью для Qitmeer (PMEER) The latest update to the popular GMiner 2.05 software continued to improve the recently added Qitmeer algorithm (PMEER), which initially loaded the CPU quite heavily. The previous version 2.0.4 was able to slightly improve the situation by introducing an additional parameter to reduce this load, however, things are even better in the current version 2.0.5. CPU usage has been significantly reduced, which now makes it possible to mine PMEER even in rigs with weak, inexpensive processors. In addition, the performance for this algorithm was significantly (up to 30%) compared with the previous version. The only thing you may not like is the developer’s commission increased for 5% for this particular algorithm. For other supported algorithms, the commission is 2%. GMiner software was originally intended only for NVidia graphics cards, but AMD GPUs are now supported for some of the available mining algorithms. GMiner is a closed source software and comes as executable files for Windows and Linux. You can download GMiner 2.0.5 here.
