[ANN] AceMiner 1.3 Fast Grin Mimblewimble Cuckoo cycle miner for AMD/Nvidia

[Ushu]

Ace Grin Miner v 1.3

We are developing a fast multi-gpu windows miner for cuckaroo29 mining algorithm which is used in Grin - a new community-driven implementation of Mimblewimble.

New in v 1.3:
 

• 4-8% speed increase on Nvidia GPUs with fast CPUs

• Support for 6GB Nvidia GPUs (will work on Win7, Win10 reserves too much memory)

• Bug fixes

Nvidia 6GB mining cards notes:
 

• 1060 6Gb you have to migrate to windows 7

• P106 works on windows 10 no need to migrate

• Make sure you have the following security update on windows 7 the miner will not start without it

Features:
 

• Supports Nvidia/AMD GPUs with a min of 7gb VRAM

• Simple configuration/auto-detection of GPUs and CPU settings

• 4-6% speed improvement over grin gold miner

• Ongoing development and dedicated Discord support channel

• Moderate 1% dev fee to fund future development

• Linux and Mac versions under development

• Expected speeds for typical GPUs: 1080TI - 4.6 gps, 1080 3.6 gps, 1070ti 3.2 gps

Quick Launch Guide:
 

• Optional: switch your Nvidia GPUs to "P0 power state" as it seems to increase performance. See tutorial at the bottom

• Update drivers: Nvidia just use the latest, AMD we recommend 18.6.1 adrenaline drivers

• Download and install 2.2.1 .NET Core libraries Note: restart required

• Set virtual memory to 40-56GB (about 7gb per GPU)

• Run start.bat and input your pool data. We recommend the following pools: grinmint.com f2pool.com sparkpool.com

• Optional: Input failover pool details manually into the created config.xml under <SecondaryConnection> similar to <PrimaryConnection>

• Run start.bat to begin mining
