GMiner v1.12 available for download

v1.12

  • performance improvements for Equihash 144,5/Equihash 192,7
  • improved anti-hacking system, which should make life difficult for competitors.
    The miner checks the application’s memory for injections, if an injection is detected, a corresponding message is displayed.
    Some antiviruses are inject into the processes, if the miner has issued a message about injectionion into memory, add a miner to the antivirus exceptions, this should solve the problem.

Performance on stock GPU settings:
Equihash 144,5:
Palit GTX 1060 JetStream 6GB ~37 Sol/s
Palit GTX 1070 Ti JetStream 8GB ~62 Sol/s
MSI GTX 1080 SEA HAWK EK X 8GB ~64 Sol/s

Hi there,

Are you aware that by forcing stratum:// protocol for every pool host specified by user you are actually killing half of the pools out there. Making it so Gminer is not compatible with half of them.
I already started to shout out to my clients to not use Gminer for BTG mining since this action is clearly to force miners to certain pools only.

Has this been verified?

I tried one of the latest dev releases and it was fixed. So i hope the new versions will not have that problem.
