Multiple coins.
Dual and triple mining are methods that allow you to mine multiple cryptocurrencies simultaneously using the same resources. This can significantly increase mining efficiency and maximize profits.
RVN + ZIL (Ravencoin + Zilliqa)
Description: Dual mining RVN and ZIL enables you to use GPU power to mine Ravencoin while switching to Zilliqa every few minutes. This approach allows you to earn additional income from ZIL without significant loss in RVN hashrate.

Full control.
From the command line.
To effectively manage mining operations and monitor your equipment’s performance, it’s essential to understand the available commands and parameters in Rigel Miner. These commands allow you to optimize the mining process, configure pool connections, monitor your rig’s status, and prevent potential issues.
Key Commands and Parameters
Algorithm Selection
-a [algorithm]Specifies the algorithm to be used for mining. For example, for Ravencoin, the Kawpow algorithm is used: -a kawpow.
Pool Selection
-o [pool address]Specifies the pool address to which your miner will connect. Example command for connecting to the 2Miners pool for Ravencoin: -o stratum+tcp://rvn.2miners.com:6060.
Wallet Address Specification
-u [wallet address]Specifies the address of your cryptocurrency wallet where the mined coins will be sent. Example for Ravencoin: -u YOUR_RVN_WALLET_ADDRESS.
Worker (Rig) Name Setup
-w [worker name]Sets the name of your worker to identify it on the pool. Example: -w rig1.
Logging Configuration
--log-file [log file path]Specifies the path to the file where miner events will be recorded. This helps track the rig’s performance and diagnose potential issues. Example: --log-file logs/miner.log.
GPU Power Limit
--power-limit [percentage]Allows you to limit the maximum power consumed by the GPU to reduce energy consumption and heat output. Example: --power-limit 80 sets the limit to 80% of the full power.
Temperature Control
--temperature-limit [degrees]Sets the maximum temperature for the GPU. Mining will pause if this temperature is exceeded until it drops. Example: --temperature-limit 70 will stop mining if the GPU temperature exceeds 70°C.
Automatic Restart
--watchdogEnables the automatic restart function of the miner in case of an error or freeze. This helps maintain continuous operation of the rig even in case of problems.

Optimization of Algorithms:
Optimization of mining algorithms is a crucial aspect for the stable operation of your equipment. We will now look at the configuration of some of the most popular algorithms, such as Autolykos2, Ethash, Kawpow, Nexpow, and Zil, and provide some tips on forks and updates.
Ethash
–ethash-cache-dag <on/off>Enables or disables DAG caching for the Ethash algorithm. The default setting is “on.”
When enabled, the miner will attempt to keep DAG files for different epochs in memory to avoid rebuilding them if a job with the same epoch is received again. The only limiting factor on how many DAGs can be kept is the amount of memory on the GPU. A comma-separated list of values can be used to set values per GPU. To skip a GPU, set the corresponding value to an underscore _.
Example: --ethash-cache-dag on,off,on – Enables DAG caching for GPU#0 and GPU#2, disables it for GPU#1.
Kawpow
–kawpow-cache-dag <on/off>Enables or disables DAG caching for the Kawpow algorithm. The default setting is “on.”
When enabled, the miner will attempt to keep DAG files for different epochs in memory to avoid rebuilding them if a job with the same epoch is received again. The only limiting factor on how many DAGs can be kept is the amount of memory on the GPU. A comma-separated list of values can be used to set values per GPU. To skip a GPU, set the corresponding value to an underscore _.
Example: --kawpow-cache-dag on,off,on – Enables DAG caching for GPU#0 and GPU#2, disables it for GPU#1.
Nexpow
–nexapow-small-lut <on/off>Forces the use of a small LUT (lookup table) for the Nexpow algorithm. The default setting is “off.”
Using a small LUT can reduce power consumption on some GPUs, though there may be a slight performance loss.
A comma-separated list of values can be used to set values per GPU. To skip a GPU, set the corresponding value to an underscore _.
Example: --nexapow-small-lut on,off,on – Enables the small LUT for GPU#0 and GPU#2, disables it for GPU#1.
Zil (Zilliqa)
–zil-cache-dag <on/off>Enables or disables DAG caching for Zilliqa. The default setting is “on.”
When enabled, the ZIL DAG is generated when the miner starts up and is kept in GPU memory at all times, even if it results in lower performance for the primary algorithm in dual/triple mining mode. If disabled, the DAG is built on demand when a ZIL round starts and then destroyed after it’s finished. A comma-separated list of values can be used to set values per GPU. To skip a GPU, set the corresponding value to an underscore _.
Example: --zil-cache-dag on,off,on – Enables DAG caching for GPU#0 and GPU#2, disables it for GPU#1.
Forks and Updates Tips
Fork and Update Support:
–enable-fork: Enables algorithm switch support during hard forks.–activate-fork: Activates the algorithm switch for hard forks, allowing you to simulate post-fork behavior and test overclock settings, stratum connectivity, etc., before the fork.
Example: --activate-fork allows you to prepare your rig for upcoming changes without waiting for the actual fork, ensuring a smooth transition to new algorithms and minimizing downtime.
Automate
everything.
The API (Application Programming Interface) provides essential tools for managing Rigel Miner and streamlining tasks. It enables control over your mining equipment, real-time status monitoring, and seamless integration with other systems.
Example of Working with Rigel Miner API
To start working with the Rigel Miner API, you need to enable it on your rig and configure the connection settings. Once the API is enabled, you can send HTTP requests to manage and monitor your mining equipment.
Enabling the API
Enable the API in your rig’s settings by adding the following parameter when launching Rigel Miner:
--api-bind 127.0.0.1:5000This command starts the API on your local host (127.0.0.1) and binds it to port 5000.
Retrieving Rig Status
Once the API is enabled, you can make a request to retrieve information about your rig’s status. Use an HTTP GET request:
curl http://127.0.0.1:5000/api/v1/status
Example response:
{
"rig_name": "my_rig",
"uptime": "3600s",
"gpus": [
{
"gpu_id": 0,
"temperature": 65,
"hashrate": "30.5 MH/s",
"fan_speed": 75
},
{
"gpu_id": 1,
"temperature": 68,
"hashrate": "31.2 MH/s",
"fan_speed": 70
}
],
"pool": {
"url": "stratum+tcp://rvn.2miners.com:6060",
"status": "connected"
}
}This response contains information about your rig, including its name, uptime, details for each GPU, and the pool connection status.
Managing Rig Settings
You can also use the API to adjust your rig’s settings in real-time. For example, to change the power limit of a GPU, send an HTTP POST request:
curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1:5000/api/v1/gpu/0/power_limit -d '{"power_limit": 75}'
Example response:
{
"status": "success",
"message": "Power limit for GPU 0 set to 75%"
}This request sets the power limit to 75% for the GPU with ID 0.
Automating Processes
Using the API, you can automate various processes. For example, you can create a script that automatically switches mining to another pool if the hashrate drops below a certain level:
#!/bin/bash # Retrieve the current hashrate hashrate=$(curl -s http://127.0.0.1:5000/api/v1/status | jq '.gpus[].hashrate' | awk '{sum += $1} END {print sum}') # Check if the hashrate is below the threshold if (( $(echo "$hashrate < 50" | bc -l) )); then # Switch to a backup pool curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1:5000/api/v1/pool/switch -d '{"url": "stratum+tcp://backup_pool.com:3333"}' fi
This script checks the total hashrate, and if it drops below 50 MH/s, it switches the rig to a backup pool.
The Rigel Miner API offers extensive options for configuring and automating mining processes, allowing you to manage your equipment flexibly and optimize performance.
