lolMiner Documentation

To mine ZIL alongside ETH or ETC while sending the ETH/ETC shares to a different pool than the ZIL shares, use the --dualmode and --dualstratum parameters. This bypasses the need for pool-side proxy forwarding and allows for independent pool connections.

Steps to configure:

1. Configure your ZIL mining as normal. If you want to mine ETC+ZIL, select ETCHASH as the algorithm parameter.
2. Add the following parameters to your command line or extra user parameters:
   • --dualmode zil
   • --dualstratum *ETHWALLET*.*ETHWORKER*@*ETHPOOL*:*ETHPORT* (Replace placeholders with your actual credentials).

Note: Using this mode automatically enables ZIL cache mode on 6GB and 8GB cards. The <ETHSTRATUM> supports prefixes like tls:// to enable SSL.

To use lolMiner, you must download the appropriate release version for your operating system from the official releases page.

Starting with version 1.62, basic support was added for Intel Arc Desktop GPUs (specifically A580, A750, and A770).

Supported Algorithms:

• ETC
• ETC+KAS
• Kaspa
• Flux
• Ergo
• Beam (Experimental)
• Equihash 144/5 (Experimental)

Details:

• Fees are equal to Nvidia and AMD GPUs on corresponding algorithms.
• Tested Intel OpenCL driver versions: 22.24.23453 and 22.32.23937.
• Known Issue: Running multiple Intel Arc GPUs on Beam or Equihash 144/5 may cause the cards to slow down due to Intel OpenCL implementation limitations.

The lolMiner API includes a web interface to monitor your mining rig via a browser. Navigate to the following URL:

http://<ip_of_your_rig>:<apiport>/gui

To ensure that your lolMiner.exe is an original, unchanged upload, you can install the lolMiner.cer certificate provided in the directory. This verification mechanism is supported in lolMiner version 1.61 (reuploaded version) and all subsequent versions.

Run the following command in a Windows terminal to add the certificate to your system's Root store:

certutil -user -addstore Root lolMiner.cer

In version 1.19+, automatic tuning for --zombie-tune is enabled by default. To run the automatic tuning mode, run the miner with only the --4g-alloc-size parameter set. The miner will report the resulting configuration at the end of the process.

You can also manually specify tuning values for specific cards using a comma-separated list. For example, --zombie-tune 2,auto,0,auto will run automatic tuning on the 2nd and 4th GPU, while using fixed values 2 for the 1st card and 0 for the 3rd card.

lolMiner includes a watchdog mechanism. If the miner detects no activity from a GPU for at least one minute, it will trigger a warning in red and call the included watchdog scripts: reboot.sh for Linux or reboot.bat for Windows.

These scripts can be customized to trigger a full rig reboot or other recovery actions. After the script runs, the miner resets its counters and continues operating on the remaining functional cards.

lolMiner supports split mining (assigning different algorithms to different GPUs) and dual mining (e.g., ETH+ZIL or ETC+ZIL).

For ETH+ZIL or ETC+ZIL, you can bypass pool proxy limitations by adding a second stratum connection. This allows you to pick up ETH/ETC shares directly from your preferred pool while sending ZIL shares to the ZIL pool during ZIL shard epochs.

For Algorithm Splitting (e.g., mining ETCHASH on some GPUs while others mine ETH), you can create two connections to your pools to mine two algorithms within the same miner instance.

To automatically switch algorithms when a primary pool disconnects or rejects authorization (e.g., during an Ethereum merge), you can use algorithm prefixes for your fail-over pool addresses. This allows the miner to switch from Ethash to an Etchash pool automatically.

Supported prefixes:

• eth:
• etc:
• ubiq:

Important: If you are using a communication layer prefix like tls:// or ssl://, the algorithm prefix must be placed after the communication layer prefix.

Example: tls://etc:pool_address is valid, but etc:tls://pool_address is not.

lolMiner supports dual mining by adding specific modes to your configuration. Use the --dualmode flag to append a second algorithm to your current mining setup.

Common dual mode identifiers include:

• --dualmode PYRINV2DUAL: Adds Pyrin V2 to existing configurations for supported host algorithms (e.g., Autolykos V2, Karlsen V2, Fishhash).
• --dualmode TONDUAL: Adds Ton/Gram dual options to existing configurations (e.g., Autolykos V2, Karlsen V2).
• --dualmode ALEPHDUAL: Adds Alephium dual mining for Fishhash.
• --dualmode RXDDUAL: Adds Radiant dual mining for Fishhash.

Note: For some AMD Vega and VII GPUs, you may need to manually set the --dualfactor if automatic tuning fails.
