IMAGE 2.25.2: RELEASED 2021-02-01
Changelog from 2.24.0:
Added gputool and mining support for NVIDIA 3xxx series GPUs
Updated all system packages, miners, and applications to latest as of 20210126
Updated CUDA to 11.2 and added cuda 11.1 libs for backward compatibility
Updated nvidia drivers to 460

Re-image note:
To update the PIMP IMAGE you must re-image your SSD with the new .img file and re-configure. pimpup only can update miner.farm agent, pimp software, and miners at this time.
Download links are on your miner.farm account page: https://miner.farm/account
Thanks team for your support and diligent testing!
PiMP Install Re-explained by Broomey from the PIMP Support Team - Thank you Broomey!
Do you have a Windows pc or laptop handy? Coz you usually use that.. plug your soon to be pimp ssd onto that.. use DMDE (it comes with the download of the pimp os) to copy sector's from the 2.25.2 image to your ssd.
When it's done, it will tell you it's successfully complete, you then close all those windows and make sure you eject your ssd properly like you do a usb stick. Once you do this.. you put your ssd in your mining rig and fire it up. 👍
If you have a screen connected to your rig.. you will get to a screen that asks for your activation key. To avoid any typos, best to use PUTTY from your windows pc or laptop to control your rig.. copy and paste will be your friend. 👌
Here's a little cheat sheet I made to help get ppl going. 👍🍻
pimp_cheat_-_sheet.pdf
Bit daunting when you first start.. bit once you do it once you'll get the hang pretty quick. 😎
Plus there's lots of help in forum and discord.. pop in anytime mate.
ERGO
https://ergoplatform.org/en/get-erg/
scroll down to view pools and miners which are supported by ERGO
Wallets

How to mine ERGO the fastest and easiest way using PiMP OS
setup a wallet and get address
Install whatever wallet, Mobile, Full Node, or Yoroi
I recommend using not your main browser. I use Chrome for my personal things, so I used the Firefox wallet. Just extra security.
Go through the wallet and definitely write down your seed phrase words. When it is done setting up the wallet, then click Receive and copy your receiving address for your ERGO wallet to your clipboard. We will paste it later in the .pcfg file to tell your pool to send the payouts to your wallet.
should look something like this:
9hHboTBt3FPmAhr28f7sqJKVi1todtaWLfjQPc4SBnjJw85oJuj
go to a pool and get the pool settings and supported miners
We love flypool/ethermine, so we will use that example
stratum-ergo.flypool.org:3443 for ssl
note: its :3333 for regular stratum://
Password Leave empty or enter your custom share difficulty. The default minimum difficulty is 4 GH (4000000000).
add a miner profile which supports ergo
depends on your hardware, here are the recommendations:
lolMiner - amd/nvidia
3401 (amd/nvi) lolminer: multialgo (beam/btcz/btcp) [lolminer.mix.pcfg]
3402 (amd) lolminer: multialgo (beam/btcz/btcp) [lolminer.amd.pcfg]
3403 (nvi) lolminer: multialgo (beam/btcz/btcp) [lolminer.nvi.pcfg]
NBMiner - nvidia
2901 (amd/nvi) nbminer: ethash/bytom/grin/swap [nbminer.mix.pcfg]
2902 (amd) nbminer: ethash/bytom/grin/swap [nbminer.amd.pcfg]
2903 (nvi) nbminer: ethash/bytom/grin/swap [nbminer.nvi.pcfg]
TeamRedMiner - amd
1201 (amd) teamredminer: cryptonights/phi2/lyra2z [teamredminer.pcfg]
for me i have nvidia and amd. i already have miners loaded to 1 and 2. i'm adding nbminer
pimp --add 2901
edit the pcfg configuration file to mine ergo to your pool
pimp --edit 3
use 1 if your miner is ID 1.
POOL1=stratum+ssl://stratum-ergo.flypool.org:3443
USER1=9hHboTBt3FPmAhr28f7sqJKVi1todtaWLfjQPc4SBnjJw85oJuj
PASS1=
ALGO1=ergo
You have to put # to ignore the lines from the sandbox/example and put your settings in. Here is what it looks like:
start the miner in test mode so you can see it working
pimp --test 3
use 1 if your miner is ID 1.
verify end to end
if you using miner.farm you should see the new miner, pool, etc appear in the miner.farm ui.
wait 10 mins watch temps and make sure shares being accepted.
and always check the pool to make sure the worker is being seen.
https://ergo.flypool.org/miners/9hHboTBt3FPmAhr28f7sqJKVi1todtaWLfjQPc4SBnjJw85oJuj/dashboard
Worker should show there.
once you have some hashrate going, you can change your payout settings and add email notifications based on your miner's address.
happy mining!!! Love, your favorites, the PiMP mining family

Hello, there was an issue with CDN provider, which we found and fixed thanks to your post - much appreciated.
Good luck with getting your rig going on the new 2.25.2!
It was a tough fight, but I won. Happily mining ERG at 441 Mh/s! I used ergo as the algo, instead of what 2miners was recommending. Now everything is up and running. Thank you again for all your help!
With the Ethereum Merge event now successfully completed, new proof-of-work (PoW) forks have emerged to vie for miner acceptance. This, as the United States government, has warned that the post-quantum world is getting closer, and vulnerable cryptography will need to be protected. Amidst red hot inflation in the U.S., President Joe Biden notes that gas […]
