SRBMiner-MULTI CPU и AMD GPU Miner

SRBMiner-MULTI is software for mining cryptocurrencies on various algorithms for AMD video cards and the processor. The application allows you to mine up to 4 different algorithms/coins at the same time. Works in Windows and Linux operating systems.

Quickstart

For the fastest possible launch, it will be enough:

1. Download the archive with the program.
2. Unpack to any convenient place.
3. Change the wallet to your own in the file with the extension .bat.

The archive with the program contains ready-made examples for Ergo, Ethereum, ZIL, and other coins, a configuration file, and instructions in English.

Quickstart examples

The easiest way to start using SRBMiner is to configure the program from the command line. Just create/edit the finished.bat file (Windows) or open a terminal (Linux).

Launch commands (on Windows):

SRBMiner-MULTI.exe --disable-cpu --algorithm autolykos2 --pool ergo.herominers.com:10250!ergo-eu.leafpool.com:1111!pool.coinfoundry.org:3036!pool.woolypooly.com:3100 --wallet 9gj5rYtg1sGwdvoXGJswrSfPBXiXJgmyjZVEQ9p5fvZrCAfu6zT --gpu-boost 3 pause

How to set up a .bat file

To start mining, we need to create or edit a file with the extension .bat. Specify the following commands in it:

1. SRBMiner-MULTI.exe - the command to launch the SRBMiner application.
2. --disable-cpu - disable mining on the processor.
3. --algorithm autolykos2 - specify the algorithm for mining.
4. --pool ergo.herominers.com:10250 - specify the address and port of the pool.
5. --wallet 9gj5rYtg1sGwdvoXGJswrSfPBXiXJgmyjZVEQ9p5fvZrCAfu6zT specify the wallet of the coin. The wallet can be obtained either from the exchange or by installing a cold wallet.
6. --gpu-boost 3 - used to increase your GPU hash rate. The parameter is activated only if the miner is started with administrator rights.

Let's see what we got in the batch file:

SRBMiner-MULTI.exe --disable-cpu --algorithm autolykos2 --pool ergo.herominers.com:10250!ergo-eu.leafpool.com:1111!pool.coinfoundry.org:3036!pool.woolypooly.com:3100 --wallet 9gj5rYtg1sGwdvoXGJswrSfPBXiXJgmyjZVEQ9p5fvZrCAfu6zT --gpu-boost 3 pause

The program is launched as usual by double-clicking on the file with the .bat extension

By running the program, we will see the following console window:

An example of a batch file for RandomX

6. --gpu-target-temperature 70 - the program will try to maintain this temperature
7. --gpu-off-temperature 83 - the miner will turn off when this temperature is reached and turn on when it drops
8. --send-stales - send obsolete shares to the pool (some pools partially pay for them, or give bonuses).
9. --enable-restart-on-rejected - automatic restart of the miner, if there are too many, rejected shares.

An example of a batch file:

setx GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
setx GPU_MAX_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_MAX_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100

Installing mining on the processor

If you do not set the parameters --cpu-threads or --cpu-affinity, the miner will try to automatically find the optimal settings for your system.

Sometimes automatic tuning does not find the optimal setting, so you have to find it experimentally.

You need to set the number of threads ( --cpu-threads ) and bind them to the corresponding processor using the command --cpu-affinity.

Examples of

Algorithm switching capabilities

The miner supports two types of algorithm switching:

1. user-defined algorithm in pools config file ( pools.txt )
2. pool side triggered algorithm switch

To enable the ability to switch algorithms, rename the file. ' algorithms_example.txt' на 'algorithms.txt '

1. The user himself determines in the pool configuration file which algorithm the pool uses.

Pools for multiple coins / algorithms can be defined in the same config file and when there is a manual switch / automatic switch when a pool fails, the miner will restart with settings for the next pool.

Example:

pools.txt:

{
"pools":
[ 
{
"pool": "loki.herominers.com:10111", 
"wallet": "LWC57bMh2uvQX62DT9eLkr2JvsTbeGKrcbwocNk6nAD2DXQsy4p6CJMV8zze6SYnzo2XHsdsmaDaP8Rc6JceP4WSTkRnjJF", 
"password": "x",
"algorithm": "randomxl"
},
{
"pool": "xmr-eu1.nanopool.org:14444", 
"wallet": "4A5hJyu2FvuM2azexYssHW2odrNCNWVqLLmzCowrA57xGJLNufXfzVgcMpAy3YWpzZSAPALhVH4Ed7xo6RZYyw2bUtbm12g", 
"password": "x",
"algorithm": "randomx"
}
]
}

The miner will start mining on the algorithm randomxl. If the user changes pool manually or fails over to the next pool, SRBMiner-MULTI connect to the next pool (in this example nanopool ) using

configuration settings for the algorithm randomx that are read from a filealgorithms.txt

2. Pools, such as MoneroOcean, can initiate automatic switching of the algorithm depending on the profitability. You can read how it works on their page ( https://moneroocean.stream/#/help/faq )

Example:

There is already a pool configuration file for MoneroOcean supplied with SRBMiner-MULTI. You can find it in the folder Pools\pools-monero-ocean.txt. Change the wallet address to yours.

If an algorithm is supported in SRBMiner-MULTI as well as MoneroOcean (you can see which algorithms they support here: https://moneroocean.stream/#/coins ), it can be used to switch algorithms.

You can find the file ' start-mining-monero-ocean.bat ' which uses the config file Pools\pools-monero-ocean.txt where you changed the wallet address earlier.

If you do not want to include every algorithm supported by the miner in the algorithm switching process, you need to edit the file algorithms.txt according to your needs.

Algorithms.txt file:

This is where you define the individual settings for each algorithm.

Turn on the algorithms that will be available during the algorithm switching process.

Commands:

"algorithm" algorithm name [run miner with --list-algorithms to see available ones]

config" the path to the configuration file to use in this algorithm

"startup_script" path to the startup script that you want to run when you start the miner

"hashrate" hashrate of your system according to this algorithm. Only used with a pool-side algorithm switch

Example:

{
"algorithms":
[
{
"algorithm": "randomx",
"config": "Config \\ config-randomx.txt",
"startup_script": "",
hashrate: 1400
},
{
"algorithm": "randomxl",
"config": "Config \\ config-randomxl.txt",
"startup_script": "",
hashrate: 1450
}
]
}

Configuring GPU Optimization Profiles

[VEGA56 / 64 / FE / VII] and [RX 550/560, RX 470/480/570/580/590]

If you have VEGA56 / 64 / FE / VII cards, I recommend using the parameter tweak_profile, because it can increase your hashrate on some algorithms!

For RX series cards, the ' tweak_profile ' option can bring additional hashrate for your flashed video cards.

It can also be used on standard video card BIOS, but the performance will be far from that of modern BIOS.

Please read this VERY IMPORTANT information:

1. The miner must be running with administrator rights [right click on SRBMiner-MULTI.exe-> properties-> compatibility-> check the box "Run this program as administrator" -> click OK
2. Be patient, it will take a while to find the optimal settings for your graphics cards / rigs. Always check 1 card at a time.
3. If you start getting invalid shares or calculation errors, it means that the profile is not suitable for this video card, so lower the intensity. Or reduce the frequency of your video memory.

To use in the configuration file, use the "tweak_profile" option at the top of the config so that the same profile is used for all cards, or in gpu_conf to set different profiles for each card separately.

Not every card can handle the same profile, so you need to find the right one for all cards you have.

Tweak Level Settings:

Each profile also has weaker (low) settings. To use a profile with weaker settings, add an L after the profile number.

When using the gpu setting in the batch file, it will look like this: --gpu-tweak-profile 3,4,4L,5L

If you are using a config file, you must enclose the value in quotation marks if you want to use the L-profile. Example: " 5L "

The easiest way to apply a tuning profile is to use + or - on your keyboard while the miner is running.

An example of setting up a batch file [4 cards]:

Gpu 0 uses profile 3

Gpu 1 uses low profile 4

Gpu 2 uses low profile 4

Gpu 3 uses Profile 5

SRBMiner-MULTI.exe --algorithm keccak --gpu-id 0,1,2,3 --gpu-intensity 20,23,23,24 --gpu-worksize 64,64,64,256 --gpu-threads 1,1,1,2 --gpu-tweak-profile 3,4L,4L,5 --pool your-pool-here --wallet ваш_кошелек

Same example as above using a config file setting:

{
"algorithm": "keccak",
"intensity": 0,
"gpu_conf": 
[ 
{ 
"id": 0, 
"intensity": 20,
"worksize": 64,
"threads": 1,
"tweak_profile": 3
},
{ 
"id": 1, 
"intensity": 23,
"worksize": 64,
"threads": 1,
"tweak_profile": "4L"
},
{ 
"id": 2, 
"intensity": 23,
"worksize": 64,
"threads": 1,
"tweak_profile": "4L"
},
{ 
"id": 3, 
"intensity": 24,
"worksize": 256,
"threads": 2,
"tweak_profile": 5
}
]
}

GUI web statistics

You must first enable the API using the command --api-enable in the start.bat file

web statistics

Set the name of your rig (computer) using --api-rig-name rig_name also installs instart.bat

Once you have launched the miner, you can access the statistics page in your browser:

http://127.0.0.1:21550/stats

There are also three other options that can help you reboot the miner, shutdown or reboot your farm remotely:

--api-rig-restart-url

This must be a unique string, access to which in the browser causes the computer to restart. The miner must have administrator rights.

--api-rig-shutdown-url

This must be a unique string, access to which in the browser leads to the shutdown of the computer. The miner must have administrator rights.

--api-miner-restart-url

This must be a unique string that can be accessed in the browser when SRBMiner-MULTI is restarted.

Example:

SRBMiner-MULTI.exe --config-file Config\config-randomxl.txt --pools-file Pools\pools.txt --api-enable --api-rig-restart-url 12345fff --api-rig-shutdown-url 54321fff --api-miner-restart-url restart_my_srb

Visiting this URL will restart your farm:

http://127.0.0.1:21550/12345fff

Visiting this URL shuts down your farm:

http://127.0.0.1:21550/54321fff

Visiting this URL restarts SRBMiner-MULTI:

http://127.0.0.1:21550/restart_my_srb

Setting up the background

Background mode means the miner will run without a console window. Both CPU and GPU miners can run in the background.

The SRBMiner-MULTI process can be found in the Task Manager if you want to stop / disable a process running in the background.

Example:

Run CPU mining in the background (no console window) using 3 CPU threads

SRBMiner-MULTI.exe --algorithm k12 --pool your-pool-here --wallet ВАШ_КОШЕЛЕК --cpu-threads 3 --disable-gpu --background

Examples of using

1. Disable mining on the processor, use only mining on video cards

SRBMiner-MULTI.exe --algorithm keccak --pool your-pool-here --wallet your-wallet-here --disable-cpu

2. Run the miner in the background without a console window, with the API enabled on port 17644 ( http://127.0.0.1:17644 )

SRBMiner-MULTI.exe --algorithm keccak --pool your-pool-here --wallet your-wallet-here --background --api-enable --api-port 17644

3. Disable GPU mining, use 7 CPU threads with extended event log enabled and save it to a file  Logs\log.txt

SRBMiner-MULTI.exe --algorithm keccak --pool your-pool-here --wallet your-wallet-here --disable-gpu --cpu-threads 7 --log-file Logs\log.txt --extended-log

4. A complete example for mining on CPU and GPU only from a batch file (4 GPUs are used / and 7 CPU threads on the K12 algorithm)

SRBMiner-MULTI.exe --algorithm k12 --gpu-id 0,1,2,3 --gpu-intensity 26,25,26,26 --gpu-worksize 256,256,256,256 --gpu-threads 1,1,1,1 --cpu-threads 7 --pool your-pool-here --ВАШ_КОШЕЛЕК

5. Disable GPU mining, use 15 CPU threads with extended event log enabled and save it to a file Logs\log.txt, start Randomx mining from block height 1978433 and run the miner in the background.

SRBMiner-MULTI.exe --algorithm randomx --pool your-pool-here --wallet your-wallet-here --disable-gpu --cpu-threads 15 --log-file Logs\log.txt --extended-log --background --start-block-height 1978433
