T-Rex 0.14.6
Usage
T-Rex supports command line arguments similar to that of ccminer:
x16r:
Code:
t-rex -a x16r -o stratum+tcp://eu.minermore com:4501 -u -p x
MTP:
Code:
t-rex -a mtp -o stratum+tcp://xzc.2miners com:8080 -u -p x
To get the full list of supported options run:
Code:
t-rex -h
Dev fee
Dev fee is set to 1% (3% for Tensority). When the miner starts and stops mining dev fee it reports it to the console output.
Release notes
0.14.6
Bug fixes:
- (Windows) High CPU usage on NVIDIA drivers 431+
- (Linux) SSL connections not working on HiveOS
- (Linux) “T-Rex instance wasn’t validated” error despite firewall allowing all connections
- CUDA 9.1/9.2 versions of the miner will no longer work with RTX (Compute Capability 7.5+) cards
This is done because RTX cards either hash slower or don’t work correctly (depending on the algo) on these versions, producing “result for … does not validate on CPU” errors. Use the version built with CUDA 10.0 instead.
0.14.4
- Add x16rv2 algorithm (upcoming RVN fork)
- Add ability to auto-switch mining algorithm using new --fork-at parameter:
RVN fork: --fork-at x16rv2=2019-10-01T16:00:00
See the help file for more details

Use environment variables in config files. Use %YOUR_ENV_VAR% in any config file field and it will substitute it with the value of YOUR_ENV_VAR environment variable set in your system
Bug fixes:
Temperature limit bug (GPU got disabled if there was problems with NVML)
P2pool fix
Show NVML errors and unsupported features
Truncate MTP share log message when using --protocol-dump
Fix start-up failure in some cases for CUDA 9.1 builds

Bug fixes (built-in watchdog):
Miner fails to start when using Windows task scheduler or Awesome Miner
Miner restarts on Linux/Hive OS
Preserve a single log file across miner restarts
NOTE: Using built-in watchdog is encouraged. If you experience any issues with it, please let us know

Prevent Windows from going to sleep mode while T-Rex is running
Bug fixes:
“does not validate on CPU” error on RTX cards (CUDA 10 builds)
Long dev fee sessions if system clock “jumps”
GPUs keep hashing even if the pool connection is lost

- Web-monitoring page enhancements
Bug fixes:
CentOS 7 compatibility issue
0.9.1

Add config parameter: --no-nvml - Disable NVML GPU stats.
Display miner version next to “Uptime” info.
