  • Bminer 16.1.0 с поддержкой алгоритмов BFC и Cuckatoo32It has been quite a while since we talked about new versions of Bminer, therefore, we note that a new Bminer 16.1.0 has appeared in which support for the BFC and Cuckatoo32 algorithms has been added, and in addition, production errors on the Cuckaroo29m algorithm have been fixed, and there has also been Improved stability of mining ETH. The main reason that we decided to mention Bminer is the fact that many users encounter a problem when using this software for mining under the Windows operating system. Unfortunately, the developers have not yet fixed this annoying bug, but there is a way that will help users avoid this problem and not wait until the developers deal with it.

  • gminer kawpow ravencoin miningAfter the announcement of the transition of the RavenCoin cryptocurrency to the new KAWPOW algorithm, the developers of the Gminer miner released a new version 2.04 with support for this algorithm. The commission for the new algorithm will be 2%. You can download Gminer 2.04 on GitHub. In the near future, you can expect the appearance of support for KAWPOW among other popular miners, which will greatly simplify the transition of GPU miners to RavenCoin by the time of the hard fork in April.

  • nbminer 28 tellor TRB+ETH miningIn version 28, NBminer acquired Tellor mining algorithm support, named for the Tellor cryptocurrency of the same name, or TRB for short. Because The newly added algorithm mainly loads the GPU, so NBMiner developers immediately provided for dual mining TRB + ETH. Mining TRB is currently only available for Nvidia graphics cards. Mining commission TRB-2%, for TRB + ETH - 3%. The performance in Tellor mining of the GTX1080Ti video card is 750MH/s, in the dual mining 315MH/s + 45MH/s. Download the latest version of NBMiner on GitHub.

  • xmrig 5.10.0The latest version of XMRig 5.10.0 includes support for the AstroBWT algorithm for AMD GPUs, in addition to the existing support for mining on the CPU, as well as some optimization for the algorithm used to mine the DERO coin after its recent hard fork this month. Another important change in the new version of the miner is that the cn / gpu algorithm is now disabled by default and will be removed in a future major update of the miner (v6.X.X), as well as in the main update of the TLS (Transport Layer Security) subsystem. As regards the performance of AMD video cards in mining on the AstroBWT algorithm compared to mining on the central processor, the AMD Radeon RX 580 8 GB video card seems to have a lower hashrate compared to even a mid-range CPU. And such a high-performance processor as the AMD Ryzen 3900X can be 4 times! faster than the RX 580 GPU. Therefore, in the end, mining on an AMD GPU may not be so attractive to AstroBWT. Download the latest version of XMRig 5.10.0 from GitHub.

  • gminer 2.03In the new version of the GMiner 2.03 GPU miner, support for Qitmeer mining (PMEER) has been added, but do not rush to try mining using the just added Cuckoo24 algorithm. Keep in mind that Qitmeer mining support (PMEER) is provided with 5%! by the developer’s commission, and apparently, the mining process requires significant resources of the central processing unit (CPU). From this it follows that you may have certain problems when mining Qitmeer using the latest version of Gminer on systems with typical 2-core central processors that have low performance. Gminer software was originally intended only for Nvidia's GPUs, however, support for AMD cards for some mining algorithms was added in the latest versions of the program. It is worth noting that the program comes with closed source code in the form of an executable file for the Windows and Linux operating systems and a built-in developer commission of 2%. Download the latest version of Gminer 2.0.3.

  • nbminer_handshakeMiner developers seem to begin to wake up after winter sleep, releasing new versions of their software that have not been updated for several months. A similar fate affected the miner NBMiner (NebuTech miner), because after a long break on GitHub , there was another new 27.0 version with support for the new mining algorithm Handshake (HNS) for the cryptocurrency of the same name. At the heart of the HNS POW algorithm are two algorithms: Blak2b + SHA3. The main distinguishing feature of HandShake is the use of the HSS token system with unique names that can be registered and sold. NBMiner 27.0 also supports dual mining cryptocurrencies HandShake and Ethereum (HNS + ETH). Miner commission for HNS is 2%, and for HNS + ETH - 3%.

  • cryptodredge_23 MTP-tcrThe CryptoDredge miner has not been updated since September 2019, but just a couple of days ago a new version 0.23.0 was released on GitHub. The main innovations are support for new mining algorithms: MTP-TCR, CryptoNightUPX, CryptoNightZLS. In addition, performance on the CryptoNightGPU algorithm has been improved. As before, CryptoDredge only supports Nvidia graphics cards. The commission for using the software is 1%, except for the MTP algorithm, where the commission is 2%.

  • bminer_grin29mBminer 16.0.5 continues to increase its performance on the mining algorithm Cuckaroo29m to the performance of another popular miner Gminer. If you compare the latest versions of these miners, then Bminer on the GTX1070 video cards produces 3.15G/s, and Gminer 1.96 - 3.19 G/s. But taking into account that the Gminer commission for GRIN29m is 3% instead of 1% for Bminer, then using Bminer will now be a little more profitable even without taking into account less power consumption and fewer redjacks than the latest version of Gminer. You can download the latest version of Bminer at Bminer.me.

  • Microsoft Windows 10 Pro 64 BitWe constantly get a lot of questions regarding the installation and configuration of the Windows 10 operating system for mining rigs and decided to write generalizing material on this topic, which is able to answer most of the questions of beginners. Many of the nuances and settings that we will talk about today are very important for the optimal mining process. If you know any other features or settings of Windows10 that will not be discussed in this article, please write about them in your comments or on our forum.

  • asic firmware antminerAll ASIC miners are controlled by special software, which, like any program, can be modified to meet various requirements. At the same time, manufacturers of ASICs emphasize the stability of work, which was as little as possible defects and returns. Custom firmware usually add additional functionality for overclocking (overclocking) ASIC chips to get the most out of their capabilities with a possible loss of stability and equipment life. Because Bitmain ASICs are the most common, therefore, various options for non-factory firmware also exist most. Next, we will consider the next variation of firmware for ASICs of the Antminer S9 and S17 generation, allowing to increase the hashrate of mining equipment by 30%30%.

  • miniz 1.5tMiner MiniZ offers one of the best performance Nvidia graphics cards on various variations of the Equihash algorithm.

  • lolminer097 cuckatoo32 GRIN32Lolminer was one of the first to support the mining algorithm Cuckatoo32 (GRIN32), which appeared after the hard fork of the GRIN cryptocurrency on January 16, 2020. GRIN32 replaces the current mining algorithm GRIN31. Replacement as it usually happens is not instant. It is stretched for a long period of time during which the complexity of mining on GRIN31 will increase, making it not profitable at the same time. In version 0.9.7, Lolminer offers an 18% increased hashrate on the GRIN32 algorithm. For AMD video cards with GCN architecture, performance gains were achieved only for Linux, unlike RDNA, for which the hashrate on Windows and Linux is the same. You can download the miner and get acquainted with the hashrate of video cards on GitHub.

  • xmrig-510 randomx mining hashrate cpuThe Monero hard fork  on November 30 and the change of the mining algorithm to RandomX made significant changes among miners, as with Monero, all video cards and ASICs had to leave, and they were replaced by the CPU again. In the first days after the hard fork, owners of powerful modern central processors, especially Ryzen, were able to get significant income from their CPU. Although the income from the CPU has significantly decreased compared with the first days, it still remains relevant. Actually this is why the developers of the XMRig miner released a new version 5.1.0 in which the performance of intel processors was increased by 6-7% for the RandomX algorithm and by 2-3% for AMD processors. In addition to RandomX, a similar increase in hashrate  mining algorithms based on RandomX: RandomXL, RandomARQ, RandomWOW. Recall that for effective mining Monero processors must have at least 2Mb of memory cache per thread. Download XMRIG on GitHub.
