Building an Ethereum “LOLMiner” Mining Rig - Part 5
New update to the Guide to build an Ethereum Mining Rig. In this article we will introduce LolMiner, one of the software that best replaces the outdated Claymore.
This update supplements and does not replace the Guide to Build a 6GPU Mining Rig for Ethereum published on our site. The article will focus almost entirely on the LolMiner software.
LolMiner, we can without many doubts call it the best replacement for Claymore, for a long time the most used software to be able to mine Ethereum. In addition to Ether, LolMiner allows you to mine other cryptocurrencies such as Ethereum Classic and Beam. As for ETC, the compilation of the code is almost identical while with Beam you will have to follow the procedure reported at the following link described in an exemplary manner:

We configure LolMiner
The safest download of LolMiner is available on GitHub:
https://github.com/Lolliedieb/lolMiner-releases/releases
After downloading it, unzip everything in a folder and inside it look for the bat mine_eth file. With the right mouse button open the options menu and select "edit". The file will open and you will be shown the following code:
@echo off
setlocal enableDelayedExpansion

You will need to change the POOL, the stratum port, the wallet address (your personal) and the rig name.

Pay attention to the video card model as it is not available for Nvidia LolMiner GPUs and the use of Ethminer is recommended.
Flash Bios and Overclock
The second act is to flash the bios of the GPUs. We recommend running it by connecting with one video card at a time. The flash-bios can be performed from the DOS Prompt before installing the drivers or from the Amdbvflash application after installation. The choice of how to proceed is at your discretion. Our Guide to Build a 6GPU Mining Rig for Ethereum explains how to use Atiflash.

After running the flash-bios and installing the drivers, the Atimkdag patch must be applied, which you can download at the following link:

Third act, GPU overclocking using Overdriventool. Also for this software we have created a guide that you can find in our blog. The system consumption, following our settings, does not exceed 520W.
