How to set up SRBMiner

Step 1 - Download the miner

There are two options to download the miner:

1. Official site of the developer.
2. On the GitHub site.

On GitHub releases, scroll down to "Assets" and download the latest version available.

Unzip the downloaded file to a location convenient for you.

Step 2 - Configure the miner

After extraction, in the same folder as srbminer.exe, you need to create a file with the extension .bat or edit the finished one. In this case, you need to enter the following commands:

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

Just replace gj5rYtg1sGwdvoXGJswrSfPBXiXJgmyjZVEQ9p5fvZrCAfu6zT with your Ergo wallet address.

The file with the extension .bat is created in any text editor.

Step 3 - Run the miner

The program is launched in a standard way: double-click the left mouse button on the file with the extension .bat. After starting, a window opens indicating all the entered parameters. There will be enough of them to start mining tokens. Just double click it, a terminal window will appear and you start mining!

The bottom line displays the hash rate.

Setting up for Nicehash

Here’s a complete setup example:

1. SRBMiner-MULTI.exe - starts the program.
2. autolykos2 - indicate the cryptocurrency mining algorithm.
3. autolykos.eu-west.nicehash.com:3390 - we specify the address and port of the pool.
4. 3P7qADz69quhfyK5e9kvfno6Jyjq4Rcocx - we indicate the crypto wallet of the token. You can use an exchange or cold wallet at your own discretion.
5. --gpu-boost 3 - we indicate the tweak for the GPU. For it to work, the program must be run as administrator!

SRBMiner-MULTI.exe --algorithm autolykos2 --pool autolykos.eu-west.nicehash.com:3390 --wallet 3P7qADz69quhfyK5e9kvfno6Jyjq4Rcocx --gpu-boost 3 pause

The finished batch file:

SRBMiner-MULTI.exe --disable-cpu --algorithm ethash --pool ethereum.herominers.com:10200 --wallet 0x74fb183Dfa951A9dC8C6de5ae4E1A8587fa6f371 --gpu-boost 8

That’s it. This method of boosting is active for every GPU mineable algorithm in SRBMiner. Not every algorithm will give you the same amount of increased hashrate.

Also if using --gpu-id parameter always set it as the first --gpu.. parameter, then set the rest (--gpu-intensity .. etc..)

When setting any of the parameters don’t use " or ' around the value!

Parameters that take a TIME value must be set in SECONDS!

Conclusions

It is impossible to get cryptocurrency without special programs. Therefore, we recommend that you pay attention to one of the best programs and download SRBMiner multi. The software works with video cards from AMD Radeon, supporting most of the versions released by this manufacturer: from VEGA to RX and R9. The program supports various cryptocurrency mining algorithms. It is especially popular with Ethereum miners.

0.8.7

• Fixed hashrate regression on heavyhash algorithm for Navi cards;

0.8.2

• Added possibility to preload dataset/s on ‘autolykos2’ algorithm with ‘--gpu-autolykos2-preload’ parameter (even on 4Gb cards!)
• Little faster dataset creation on some GPU’s
• Job notifications are now displayed in console less frequently, unless extended log is enabled
• Reverted ‘autolykos2’ kernels for hawaii, tonga and fiji to the ones from ver. 0.7.3 Dataset preloading can increase pool-side hashrate! (that means more profit) Works even on GPU’s with 4Gb! For example if you set to preload 1 dataset that means it will create the dataset for the current and next block. When the next block arrives, dataset will get loaded, which means GPU can continue working immediately (without creating the dataset). Additional GPU memory needed.

There are 2 types of preloading:

1. If you set preload value to 1 it will constantly keep preloading the next block (preferred for 4-8GB gpu’s)
2. If you set preload value to > 1 it will preload X number of datasets, and when a block arrives that isn’t yet loaded, it will be created so miner can start working on it, and then again X number of datasets will get preloaded.

• Minor bug fixes;
• Progpow algos are using single DAG allocation (no split DAG), so you need a driver that allows allocation of large buffers.
• --gpu-progpow-mode is auto selected, but you can test manually, maybe you find a mode that works better for your GPU
