lolMiner 1.98 (latest)
Changes
- Added support for mining Cuckaroo-29 as used for Tari for all Nvidia GTX 1000 cards and newer as well as AMD RX 400 cards and newer with at least 6G of memory. Use --algo CR29 to mine it, fee is 2%.
- (Compared with public beta: Improved Cuckaroo-29 performance on Nvidia Turing and newer cards by 4-7% and reducing power draw by 5-10% depending on model)
Fixes
- Fixed a bug causing mixed rigs sometimes only allowing the AMD cards to start, while Nvidia cards did not get detected.
- Fixed a bug causing Octopus mining not starting up on Nvidia Hopper generation server GPUs
Update Instructions
For HiveOs (required: any working installation of lolMiner before). Open rig console and execute:
wget https://github.com/Lolliedieb/lolMiner-releases/releases/download/1.98/lolMiner_v1.98_Lin64.tar.gz && tar -xvf lolMiner_v1.98_Lin64.tar.gz && pidof -x SCREEN && miner stop || echo lolminer && cp -adpR 1.98/lolMiner $(ls -d1 /hive/miners/lolminer/*/ | tail -1) && miner start

Additional Fixes in 1.98a (compared to 1.98)
- Fixed a bug causing Grin Cuckatoo-32 mining to not work with 1.98.
- Fixed a bug causing Conflux mining to not work with 1.98.
- Fixed a bug causing Conflux mining to crash on epochs 41, 431 and 1021 (yes, thats a long time into the future) on Nvidia GPUs.
- Fixed a bug causing Conflux mining to pick up the wrong pool difficulty (in case the pool did not send full bytes for the target - Binance pool I am watching you... ).
- Fixed a bug causing Tari C29 mining to crash on 6G Nvidia Turing GPUs with driver versions greater then 550.x.
- Fixed a bug causing the miner to randomly display an error message "Received a defect stratum message: No such node (result.job)" when mining Tari C29.

lolMiner 1.97
I am very sorry for what had happened with the original 1.97 release. It had been an old bug that only came to day of light on the most recent code changes and when the difficulty of work was rather high - what it had not been during our function checks. On top came my own non-availability during the past weekend to correct my mistake. And that is why it almost took a week. Very sorry for this and we will go through more intense testing during the upcoming versions.
Changes
- Improved performance and efficiency of Sha3x code for RDNA1 and newer AMD cards as well as Turing and newer Nvidia cards by 1-3% depending on the actual hardware architecture.
- Added a hint that oc was reset when miner closes and it actually had set options that got successfully reset.
Fixes
- Fixed a bug when mining Grin Cuckatoo-32 not submitting shares in 1.96(a)
Release Note
I often get contacted by people afreight of the detection of the miners Windows build being malware. The main reason for the detection in many Antivirus software is the compression of the executable file keeping its size low. Therefore this release is done with two Windows packages: the one being as compact as you are used to and the other one - given in lolMiner_v1.97_Win64_cln.zip - having a much larger executable file, but getting detected by much less engines. And if it gets detected, then it usually some variant of "CoinMiner" - we take that one as quality sign.
Here are the Virustotal reports of all release executable files:
Windows Large,
Windows Small
Linux
Let us know if the new release package did help you in the discussion page below the release.

lolMiner 1.95
Changes
- Added support for continuous mining for Conflux on 8G Nvidia GPUs (some might want to call this zombie mode). This will enable these cards to mine on, despite running out of memory. Cards will slowly degrade in performance with growing DAG. Note that current miner parameters are tweaked for Linux systems.
- Added support for Nvidia RTX 5000 and AMD RX 9000 series on the following algorithms: AutolykosV2 (Ergo), BeamHashIII, Cuckatoo-32 (Grin, AMD only), Cuckoo-30 (Cortex, AMD only), Etchash, Ethash, Equihash 144/5 (via OpenCL), FishHash, Flux (aka ZelHash), KarlselhashV2, NexaPoW, Octopus (Conflux)

lolMiner 1.96a
Changes
- Added support for Tari-Sha3x on Nvidia Pascal and newer and AMD RX 400 series and newer gpus. Use -a SHA3X to mine it. At the moment pool mining only. Fee is 1%.
- Added support for Tari-Sha3x dual mining with Octopus (Conflux), Autolykos V2 (Ergo), Fishhash and Karlsenhash V2 algorithms. Use --dualmode SHA3XDUAL to activate it. Supported GPUs: Nvidia Pascal and newer and AMD RX 5000 series and newer.
- Added support for mining AutolykosV2, BeamHash 3, Fishhash, KarlsenhashV2, Octopus and Sha3x on Radeon 9060 XT.
Fixes
- Fixed a bug that causes the miner to crash when multiple failover pools were given but only one user entry for them.
- 1.96a: Fixed a bug causing cfx+sha3x dual mining not starting on some Nvidia GPUs
