Isn’t there AMD RX500 series mining software yet, is it?
I successfully started mining on Ubunto 18.04, but it is CPU mining. It does not uses GPU, don’t know why.
I am not sure if it should have used the gpu. But maybe is the node that does not support this graphic card.
Can someone explcain how to mine with RX 570 and 580?
I am running a mining farm with 1500 Mining rigs. All are AMD GPU’s and I am eagerly waiting for the AMD miner to mine Aeternity. Thanks for the update and keep posting any updates about the miner
Still good enough for old rigs that are essentially standing around collecting dust. Can you fill me in on the testing ? I want to help as I can. And obviously use it later on
We can put the binaries up on Google drive. You need to set up Ubuntu 18.04 and then install rocm (apt install rocm-dkms). Make sure you do not have the amdgpu-pro drivers installed, rocm is a replacement.
The miner is two parts - one binary replaces the cuda29 binary that comes with epoch (~/epoch/lib/aecuckoo-1.2.0/priv/bin/cuda29). The other can be run either interactively or as a system service.
Our cuda29 binary sends mining requests over a socket connection to the server. The server is ~30% faster than the Aeternity method of shelling out and re-initializing the GPU’s for each mining attempt even on Cuda cards. (We have a Cuda version available as well).
Let me know when your machine is ready and I will send over a link.
