Overview
lolMiner is a high-performance, multi-algorithm GPU miner. It enables mining of various cryptocurrencies including Ergo (ERG), Ethereum Classic (ETC), Kaspa (KAS), Ravencoin (RVN), Flux (FLUX), and many more.Supported Algorithms & Coins
| Algorithm | Coin | Dev Fee |
|---|---|---|
| AUTOLYKOS2 | Ergo (ERG) | 1.5% |
| ETCHASH | Ethereum Classic (ETC) | 0.7% |
| KARLSENHASH | Kaspa (KAS) | 0.75% |
| KAWPOW | Ravencoin (RVN) | 1.0% |
| ZelHash | Flux (FLUX) | 1.0% |
| BEAM-III | Beam (BEAM) | 1.0% |
| FIROPOW | Firo (FIRO) | 1.0% |
Configuration
When deploying the recipe, you’ll need to provide:- Container Group Name (required) - Unique identifier for your deployment (2-63 lowercase letters, numbers, or hyphens)
- Algorithm (required) - Mining algorithm (e.g.,
AUTOLYKOS2,ETCHASH,KAWPOW). Defaults toAUTOLYKOS2 - Pool URL (required) - Pool address with protocol (e.g.,
stratum+tcp://ergo.2miners.com:8888) - Wallet Address (required) - Your wallet address for the coin being mined
- Worker Name (optional) - Custom worker name
- Extra Arguments (optional) - Additional lolMiner command-line arguments
Example Pool URLs
| Coin | Pool | URL |
|---|---|---|
| Ergo | 2miners | stratum+tcp://ergo.2miners.com:8888 |
| Ergo | Herominers | stratum+tcp://ergo.herominers.com:10250 |
| ETC | 2miners | stratum+tcp://etc.2miners.com:1010 |
| Ravencoin | 2miners | stratum+tcp://rvn.2miners.com:6060 |
| Kaspa | acc-pool | stratum+tcp://kas.acc-pool.pw:16061 |
| Flux | 2miners | stratum+tcp://flux.2miners.com:9090 |
How To Use This Recipe
Prerequisites
- A cryptocurrency wallet address for the coin you want to mine
- Choose a mining pool that supports your chosen algorithm/coin
Deploy the Recipe
- Open the lolMiner GPU Miner recipe in the SaladCloud Portal when creating a new container group.
- Enter a container group name.
- Select your mining algorithm (defaults to AUTOLYKOS2 for Ergo).
- Enter your pool URL with the protocol prefix (
stratum+tcp://orstratum+ssl://). - Enter your wallet address.
- Optionally set a worker name and any extra arguments.
- Deploy the container group.
Checking Hashrate
The miner outputs hashrate and share statistics to the container logs. Check the SaladCloud Portal logs for real-time output from your mining nodes.Replica Count
The recipe is configured for 3 replicas by default. For production mining operations, consider increasing the replica count to maximize your hashrate. SaladCloud’s distributed GPU cloud allows you to scale to thousands of nodes.Mining Payouts
Mining rewards are paid directly to your wallet by the mining pool:- Your miner submits shares to the pool as proof of work.
- When the pool finds a block, rewards are distributed based on shares contributed.
- Each pool has a minimum payout threshold (e.g., 0.5 ERG on 2miners).
- Once your balance reaches the threshold, the pool automatically sends coins to your wallet.
Troubleshooting
Low Hashrate
- Ensure you’re using GPUs with sufficient VRAM for the algorithm
- AUTOLYKOS2 (Ergo): 4GB+ VRAM recommended
- ETCHASH (ETC): 4GB+ VRAM required
- KAWPOW (RVN): 4GB+ VRAM required
Connection Errors
- Verify the pool URL format includes protocol:
stratum+tcp://orstratum+ssl:// - Check if the pool is online
- Try an alternative pool server
Invalid Shares
- Ensure your wallet address is valid for the coin being mined
- Check that the algorithm matches the coin/pool
