Solo mining is the same as before - just update to the newer release and it should be ready to go.

Tested on rx 9070xt, rx 6800, and rx 7600 Works fine on all three, and is ballpark compared to closed source miners. Maybe a bit lower, but that fits well enough with dev fees. solo miners looking for the widest margins can probably still get better hashrates with closed source miners. My use case makes that a non-option. Thanks reuben. This has been the primary limiter to me investing more (hardware) into firo. Are instructions for solo mining on one’s own node similar to the old reference miner?

Tested on 2x 4060 ti, 4090 and a 6900 XT. Someone reported it not working on a 9070 XT (not sure if it’s the computer or something else). Thanks again to @Zed @centaurea and @Flow666 for testing. Still looking for more ppl with RDNA4 cards to test.

I have made a new Firominer release that dramatically improves performance from the original reference miner and is on parity (or close to) closed source miners on Nvidia cards. There is no dev fee for these miners and it is totally open sourced! I haven’t manage to test it on AMD miners so any feedback would be appreciated. Do try it with or without the --cl-subgroup flag. I’m also adding support for adding a Coinbase message in a future Firo release. Once that is in this miner can embed a coinbase message to forever etch it onto the blockchain to promote solo-mining. It also updates CUDA to 12.9 Update 2 (the last CUDA version that has Maxwell, Pascal and Volta support). I hope you guys like this release and it supports a more open mining environment. Thanks to @Zed for helping to test!
