└── README.md /README.md: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 | # What's new in TT version 2024.3.3 Beta 5 2 | 3 | - FIX: removed dependencies to 3rd party shared libraries in the cpu algos 4 | - MODIFICATION: modified the windows batch files and added a \"cd\" command before the miner call 5 | 6 | 7 | # What's new in TT version 2024.3.3 Beta 4 8 | 9 | - I tried to improve the hash rate of the CPU algos: 10 | - GhostRider/Flex 11 | - SpectreX 12 | - Xelis 13 | I see some improvements on my intel i9, but I'm not sure of there is anything notable on other models or even on AMD chips. Please let me know if you have some results. 14 | 15 | - FIX: fixes a bug in the stratum protocol that causes rejected shares on Firo and other ProgPow coins. 16 | 17 | 18 | 19 | # What's new in TT version 2024.2.1 Beta 5-2 (extended testperiod) 20 | 21 | - CPU only algos reserved GPU context 22 | - improved GHOSTRIDER & FLEX algo 23 | - added sample batch/script files for Kylacoin @ vipor and mining4people 24 | - change default thread-count for cpu mining to (max-threads - 4). On some systems other setting may give better results, so please try different thread-count settings with -t \ for CPU algos. 25 | 26 | 27 | 28 | # What's new in TT version 2024.2.1 Beta 4 29 | 30 | - fixed a deadlock bug on some system - only CPU mining affected with certain CPUs 31 | - added number of used threads into the status line for CPU mining 32 | 33 | 34 | # What's new in TT version 2024.2.1 Beta 3 35 | 36 | - fixed bug in Ctrl-C handling 37 | - auto detect CPU device for FLEX algo (no need to add -d option) 38 | - fixed bug in ProgPoW algo 39 | - fixed time display 40 | - improved performance for GHOSTRIDERE algo 41 | - support of GPU & CPU mining of GHOSTRIDER at the same time 42 | 43 | 44 | 45 | 46 | # What's new in TT version 2024.2.1 Beta2 47 | 48 | - new algo: FLEX 49 | - minor bugfixes 50 | 51 | complete beta release notes will follow soon. Since FLEX is a CPU only algo you need to know the ID of the CPU in your system. please run TT with the 'list' option first to find out which ID you CPU got: 52 | Windows: TT-Miner -l 53 | Linux: ./TT-Miner -l 54 | 55 | look for the CPU device that TT listed - in this case it is the id: 4: 56 | 57 | ********* CPU/Core information
58 | CPU/Core devices: 1
59 | 04 GenuineIntel Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-9900K CPU @ 3.60GHz CPUs/Cores: 1/16
60 | 61 | 62 | 63 | the command line for kylacoin mining would then look like this:
64 | ### TT-Miner -d 4 -a FLEX -P ssl:\/\/KYLA-Wallet.WORKER:PASSWORD@eu.mpool.live:6486 65 | 66 | Per default TT uses all but 2 cores to make sure the sdystem stays responsive. If you wish to add more cores you can use the -t commandline option. If you want to use 16 core please this command line: 67 | ### TT-Miner -d 4 -t 16 -a FLEX -P ssl:\/\/KYLA-Wallet.WORKER:PASSWORD@eu.mpool.live:6486 68 | 69 | 70 | To run the FLEX algo you need at least a SKYLAKE CPU - or better. Unforunatley I could not run a test on hive since I do not have a CPU that is SKYLAKE class. AMD is also not tested. I got already an information that home ryzen5 works. 71 | 72 | 73 | 74 | Please note that this beta is not well tested - let me know if you have any issues. 75 | 76 | 77 | 78 | 79 | 80 | # What's new in TT version 2023.4.0-beta1 81 | 82 | - new ALGO EthashB3 - Rethereum(RTH) 83 | - new ALGO Sha3D - Kylacoin (KCN) 84 | - support for KiiroCoin (KIIRO) 85 | - support for integrated GPUs (iGPU/ APU) - please use commandline option -igpu 86 | - support for CPU mining - please use commandline option -cpu 87 | - improved hashrate for Sha512256D - Radiant RXD 88 | 89 | 90 | ## using iGPU 91 | You can now use the integrated GPU to mine. To use it just add -igpu to your command line. This will check for a iGPU and enable it if one is found. In this version TT does not support any Algo that requires a lot of memory (Ethash, ProgPow, KawPoW, GhostRider...) 92 | 93 | ## using CPU 94 | You can now use the CPU to mine. To use it just add -cpu to your command line. This will check for is the CPU is supported and enable it. In this version TT does not support any Algo that requires a lot of memory (Ethash, ProgPow, KawPoW, GhostRider...) - so the same limitation as for iGPU applies. Also TT uses all cores in this version for mining. This will have a bad impact on the overall performance of the system. I will fir this and use fewer cores in a later release. 95 | 96 | 97 | 98 | 99 | # What's new in TT version 2023.2.0-beta12 100 | 101 | - new support for ZIL (ZMP shardpool.io & stratum for crazypool.org ) TCP & SSL 102 | - new support for Alephium (Blake3 algo) 103 | - new support for SHA256D 104 | - support for 3 alternating coins/algos at the same time. You can now mine ZIL, EPIC and a 3rd coin 105 | - new parallel mining - not just alternating as used with ZIL & EPIC 106 | - related commandline option are now wraped into blocks with 'selectors' you choose 107 | - new function 'lottery' to spend a very low hashes to a solo BTC or BCH mining 108 | 109 | ## wrapping commandline option into a block 110 | Let assume you want to mine EPIC, RXD and ZIL (alternating - just one of them at a time). First we chose the pattern we want to use: 111 | 112 | for EPIC we use "EP" 113 | for RXD we use "RX" 114 | for ZIL we use "Z" 115 | For each coin we need the -c (for coin) and the -P (required information to connect to an pool) option. We append our pattern and that wraps the information for the 3 algos/coin: 116 | TT-Miner -cEP EPIC -PEP .:@: -cRX RXD -PRX .:@: -cZ ZIL -PZ .:@: 117 | 118 | Now that you have the alternating mining enabled you might think that it would be nice to have EPIC mined parallel with Alephium. That is now possible. 119 | 120 | ## parallel mining 121 | You need to add the wrapped information for Alephium and tell TT that it should mine this coin when EPIC is active as well. As selector for ALPH we use the pattern "ALP". The required information for -c and -P would look like this: 122 | 123 | -cALP ALPH -PALP .:@: 124 | 125 | To tell TT to join EPIC and ALPH we append the -j commandline option - again with the pattern for ALPH to make sure TT combines ALP and EP: 126 | -jALP EP 127 | 128 | Now TT mines ZIL, EPIC & ALPH in parallel and RXD. 129 | 130 | 131 | ## using the BTC/BCH lottery 132 | To join the Bitcoin or BitcoinCash lottery you just need to add the 133 | -lottery 134 | commandline option. A sample for Bitcoin looks like this: 135 | -lottery BTC 136 | 137 | That's all. TT will print a link to the solo pool that holds your stats together with the regular mining statistics. You can also run TT with just the lottery enabled and you can continue to use you PC without any big impact. 138 | 139 | If you have any questions or need some assistance to get TT working in the configuration you want please let me know - I'm happy to help. 140 | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
