I take it, this isnā€™t going to work until main-net? Thanks for this post!
Also can we get a cut and paste of the Installation URL?

  1. Currently works on testnet
  2. Yes, itā€™s proper way - copy-paste URL into ā€œInstallation URLā€ and correct name as ā€œMiner nameā€ appears

Before start mainet some updates, bugs fixes possible.
Stay tuned!

This works. Something to note the ā€œWallet and worker templateā€ in custom config is:
your_email/rig_name.

This is setup when registering with Sparkpool.

Note that a random email is created when registering, so be sure to add one that you own. HiveOS Wallet address does not really matter unless passing as variable (I didnā€™t, just hardcoded ā€œyour_email/rig_nameā€).

I have three GPU, GTX 1060, 1070, 1070ti, only two show up. 1070 ti not recognized. Please help. Thank you.

1060 6G out of memory

Must have 8gb mem to run GRIN.

be sure to use new miner in flightsheet

Now to figure out how to get a wallet address. Looks like no wallet with a gui pre-compiled exists.

Its seems to make sure these new algos are asic resistant you need 6-8gb cards which are making 3-4gb cards useless or unprofitable to mine with

Thereā€™s no GUI wallet as of yet, and CLI for Linux or Mac so far, plus thereā€™s not really an address, you can apparently setup a listener node then would have to do a port forward on your network (or a VPS I suppose) and then send to your IP address. Thereā€™s alternate methods as well, but Iā€™ve not seen a pool yet implement them.

Iā€™m just wondering - will it be possible to mine Grin with 4GB cards in the near future?

A lot of us have farms with 4-6GB cards (RX470, GTX1060, P104, P106), which were acquired due to their low market prices (when compared to video gaming GPUs).

Running numerous rigs in HiveOS, using bminer. Solid hashrate ~4 on each 1070TI. Been running for several hours.

However, sparkpool still shows 0 workers.

Config shows ā€œ%40ā€ instead of ā€œ@ā€ symbol. Is this normal or problematic?

Any chance of adding TLS support? Grinmint pool offers a TLS port, but there is no option to enable TLS in the custom miner config. Using a TLS port prevents the miner from running.

Can you do one also for Bminer and Gminer please ?

Was it tested with RTX GPUs?

Custom was temporary solution. With latest update miner integrated into Hive itself
