lolMiner-releases VS nsfminer

Release lolMiner 1.76 · Lolliedieb/lolMiner-releases (github.com)

I use lolminer to mine for Nvidia and AMD. https://github.com/Lolliedieb/lolMiner-releases/releases/tag/1.64

But I figured in the mean time it would not hurt to ask the PopOS Reddit community if there is any other way to solve this problem. This driver problem is so new I could only find one post about this issue. But I assumed from the post OP was using Ubuntu to only mine with, so if they nuked their system trying to downgrade the drivers there be no loss because that was not their daily computer. I use my system as my daily computer (video games and web browsing) and mine in the background (popOS is super stable when it comes to doing both). Here is a link to the post

wget https://github.com/no-fee-ethereum-mining/nsfminer/releases/download/v1.3.14/nsfminer_1.3.14-ubuntu_20.04-cuda_11.3-opencl.tgz tar xzvf nsfminer_1.3.14-ubuntu_20.04-cuda_11.3-opencl.tgz cd nsfminer ./nsfminer -P stratum1+tcp://[email protected]:6688 --retry-max 0

I discovered ethminer that time and was happy to see great example of collaboration in crypto dev community, it was outdated for newest CUDA, so I found nsfminer, that's the fork updated by one of previous contributors. It has no DEV fee and based on original ethminer, so I pretty much trust the code, even if it has no maintenance since mid of 2021.

This one's better: https://github.com/no-fee-ethereum-mining/nsfminer

I've never used it, but NSFMiner is supposed to be a fork of Ethminer, except the author updated it to support 30 series. https://github.com/no-fee-ethereum-mining/nsfminer

Not really. There are protocols between miner software and pool operators. There are also some miner software out there that can evaluate prior to submission to the pool if a hash result is invalid or not. The open source ethminer used to do it until it's development stopped. Pretty sure some devs forked the code into NSFminer.

I would not risk it. If you need to use one on a device with sensitive info, I'd go with an open source version https://github.com/no-fee-ethereum-mining/nsfminer

Happens because of this devfee bullshit. Get a miner that does not steal from you. Open source https://github.com/no-fee-ethereum-mining/nsfminer

I switched to flexpool with nsfminer.
