  • feature: ethash Turn on LHR mode by default for 3060 v1, disabled by default only on windows 470.05
  • fix: ethash Fail to detect LHR lock on certain situation.
  • fix: Nvidia GPU power consumption issue on certain rig config.
  • delete: support for sero.

v39.6(2021-10-27)

  • optimize:ethash LHR mode significant improvement:
    • higher hashrate, more stable LHR unlocking for both -lhr-mode 1 and -lhr-mode 2
    • default LHR mode changes to -lhr-mode 1 for LHR GPUs
    • default values of LHR mode increased, -lhr-mode 1 -> 74, -lhr-mode 2 -> 71
    • added 3 new options for LHR auto-tuning control, at most cases you don't need to change:
      • -lhr-reduce-value: the amount to reduce -lhr value on a single -lhr tuning. defaults to 0.5.
      • -lhr-reduce-time: When LHR lock is detected, and the time since the last lock exceeds this value, the -lhr reduce will not perform. defaults to 15, which means 15 minutes.
      • -lhr-reduce-limit: the maximum number of times to reduce -lhr value, defaults to 6.
    • Typical hashrate: 3060Ti LHR on defaults options, 45.5 MH/s @ mem+1200 (win10)
  • feature: ergo also adapts the 3 new LHR options.
  • feature: add -cmd-output option to specify command line outpu to stdout or stderr, 1=stdout, 2=stderr, defaults to 2.
  • feature: disable SNI extension for ssl connections by default, can be enabled with -enable-sni option
  • delete: cuckatoo & cuckatoo32 support

v39.5(2021-09-24)

  • feature: ergo new LHR mode for mining ERGO, enable it by manually adding -lhr option
    • Same as LHR mode in ethash, -lhr value represents expected hashrate to reach value percent of non-LHR GPU's hashrate, supports comma-seperated list to indicate -lhr value for each GPU, and -lhr -1 to disable.
    • For GPUs with Hynix GDDR6 memory, LHR mode is not recommended for the poor performance.
    • For GPUs with non-Hynix GDDR6 memory, e.g. 3060 3060ti 3070, start trying with -lhr 85
    • For GPUs with GDDR6X memory, e.g. 3070ti 3080 3080ti, start trying with -lhr 100
    • When mining lock is detected during ERGO mining, miner will automatically decrease -lhr value by 0.5, and continue mining. max decrease times is 10, which sums to 5.0
  • optimize: ergo Lower power consumption on Nvidia GPUs.

v39.4(2021-09-21)

  • fix: octopus Fix error hash issue.

v39.3(2021-09-18)

  • feature: ethash new low power LHR mode, add -lhr-mode option.
    • -lhr-mode 2 is the default LHR mode, which is the new lower power mode.
    • -lhr-mode 1 changes LHR mode to old version, which is the same as v39.2
    • -lhr-mode 1 is suitable for only power limit bounded GPU, can achieve higher hashrate than mode 2
    • -lhr-mode 2 is able to achieve lower average power and temperature. espacially suitable for GPUs with gddr6x e.g.3070ti, 3080, 3080ti. Power consumtion is fluctuating in this mode, better be used with locked core clock.
  • feature: -lhr support decimal value
  • feature: for LHR GPUs, when mining lock is detected, miner will automatically decrease -lhr value by 0.1, and continue mining. max decrease times is 10, which sums to 1.0
  • fix: higher CPU usage when set --share-check 0

v39.2(2021-09-01)

  • feature: ethash added LHR lock detection and recovery in LHR mode.
  • feature: added memory temperature display (if available) for Nvidia and AMD GPU under windows.
  • fix: ergo more robust protocol handle.

Note: LHR mode requires NVML library to work, please make sure the driver is installed properly and do not add -no-health argument.

v39.1(2021-08-21)

  • optimize: ethash improve hashrate of LHR mode 1 - 2%，default value of -lhrchanges from 68 to 69，manually set to 70 is also very promising.
  • fix: LHR mode support on windows driver 471.11
  • fix: kawpow issue of v39.0
  • fix: Radeon vii issue on windows driver 21.6.1+

v39.0(2021-08-15)

  • feature: ethash New LHR mode for ETH mining on RTX 30 series LHR GPUs, supports Windows & Linux, able to get ~70% of maximum unlocked hashrate.
    • This mode can be tuned by argument -lhr, only works for ethash right now.
    • -lhr default to 0, meaning even if -lhr is not set, LHR mode with -lhr 68 will be applied to LHR GPUs if certain GPUs are detected.
    • Tune LHR mode by setting -lhr <value>, a specific value will tell miner try to reach value percent of maximum unlocker hashrate, e.g. -lhr 68 will expect to get 68% of hashrate for same model non-LHR GPU.
    • Higher -lhr value will results in higher hashrate, but has higher possibility to run into lock state, which will leads to much less hashrate.
    • A good start tuning value is 68, which has been tested to be stable on most rig configurations.
    • -lhr value can be set for each GPU by using comma separeted list, -lhr 65,68,0,-1, where -1 means turn off LHR mode.

v38.2(2021-07-27)

  • fix: AMD kernel error on certain GPUs with 21.6.1+ drivers under windows.

v38.1(2021-06-29)

  • fix: high CPU usage in v38.0

v38.0(2021-06-29)

  • feature: ergo add mining.extranonce.subscribe support.
  • fix: eliminate memory leak by NVML library for Nvidia driver 460+ on windows.
  • fix: --enable-dag-cache causes crash on certain situation.

v37.6(2021-06-03)

  • fix: ethash --enable-dag-cache cause crash on AMD GPUs when switch DAG file.
