After following instructions the best I could from the github repo, I have tried to use the ocl\_cuckaroo plugins generated by ./install\_ocl\_plugins.sh however it always crashes. Does anyone mine using AMD GPU’s ? I am trying to mine with RX 580’s using the OpenCL plugins but having no luck. Is there supposed to be ocl\_cuckaroom.cuckooplugin generated in target/debug/plugins/ ? All that gets generated for me are ocl\_cuckaroo.cuckooplugin and ocl\_cuckatoo.cuckooplugin. Thanks ---

Unfortunately there is no open-source OpenCL implementation of both Cuckaroom (current GPU PoW) and Cuckarood (previous): [https://github.com/mimblewimble/grin-miner/issues/240](https://github.com/mimblewimble/grin-miner/issues/240) ---

I got lolminer to work on my nvidia cards, but is not seeing my amd cards for some reason ---

use bminer for nvidia cards. Never came across anyone explaining how to mix and match different brand GPUs. Try here [https://t.me/GrinMining](https://t.me/GrinMining) in this group ---

When lolMiner starts up no sign of the amds? Can you run clinfo (.exe), shipped with amd drivers to see of they are listed there? ---

I’m using Ubuntu 18.04.4, and no sign of AMD cards on lolminer startup, is there a similar tool I can use on ubuntu to check? EDIT: installed clinfo on ubuntu. I can paste the full output if needed, but the first thing it says is “number of platforms=1” and no list of amd as far as I can notice, I have my cards plugged in correctly I’m fairly sure (RX 580) and installed the proprietary drivers from amd via: `./amdgpu_install -y --headless` I haven’t gotten any software to recognize my cards and I have tried a lot of stuff
