Trick or Treat! Come unwrap your delicious new releases! You’ll be making more coins in no time.
Major Support Revamp!
The PiMP Forum has given a new home to crypto fans and miners! We built out a modern, mobile friendly, well-organized and professionally maintained forum for all PiMPs to share ideas and to make it even faster and easier to mine with PiMP and miner.farm! Big thanks to Anjin, Emily, and Dbct for this treasure. We also use Single-Sign-on so you can easily use your getpimp.org account username and password on the forum.
All major bugs fixed: AMD UEFI and 5+ GPU support, 4G decoding, AMD ETH DAG fix, networking issues on validation. ALL FIXED!
PiMP 2.3 is here! New images. New kernels. New NVIDIA drivers. New AMDGPU drivers. New overclocking tools. All served with the same support and community included with all of our PiMP and Miner.Farm products! And all with the time-tested quality assurance you are accustomed to with PiMP software for all these years.
Simpler versioning: No more rc numbers. 2.3.30 is the build number for these releases.
PiMP OS for AMD Gets a much much needed overhaul: The 2.3 AMD release works for all supported AMD cards.
PiMP 2.0 is now retired: In other words, you can now have a 390 and a RX-470 in your PiMP 2.3-amd rig. You can also have 7xxx and 2xx series cards in the same rig but they may underperform on the amdgpu driver.
TO DOWNLOAD: Go to your https://getpimp.org/home-landing/my-downloads page.
PIMP OS for NVIDIA: nothing major here, just incorporated all of the previous bug fixes, features, optimizations and updates since v2.2.2-nvidia (v2.2-rc2-nvidia)
Crypto Mining and PiMP have had ROCKET growth in 2017:
In 2017 so far, PiMP received several major version releases: 1.9/2.0 were released as a set supporting legacy and modern AMD GPUs (See: Which PiMP is right for you), followed by 2.1 released supporting NVidia. During this time we saw record numbers in growth, as the preferred mining platform to support nvidia users for Linux! In the meantime we had some major growth in NVidia mining needs and we addressed those needs with the 2.2-nvidia release.
During this time, some of our users experienced difficulty with stability due to explosive growth based on our features and performance. In response, we expanded the team with more subject matter experts, redesigned and deployed our infrastructure, and have been experiencing smooth sailing since.
Alongside this rocket growth, Miner.Farm has seen great improvements in fixes, structure, and setup. Improvements have streamlined the product to be able to handle even the most hardened miners out there. Sign up for a free account with Miner.Farm and capture realtime graphing of your rig’s performance!
Highlighted infrastructure updates:
Miner.farm code has been getting multiple overhauls at each component to provide more network robustness, security, and accuracy.
We’ve upgraded our server fleet to handle the 100+ rig farms we have running simultaneously online. We are constantly evaluating, testing, and improving the infrastructure.
The download servers have been upgraded and scale with demand to ensure swift download and install.
We are evaluating and working with a number of payment processors such as Coinpayments, Stripe, and Coinbase to improve the sales and subscription processes.
Highlighted new features:
gputool has been completely rebuilt, and now will set clocks and fans on both Nvidia and AMD cards. If you were using other scripts or other methods to set fans or clocks, switch to gputool for the latest feature support. (For details how to use gputool, Check out our gputool post in forum.getpimp.org’s Overclocking section.)
Are your stats wrong? Are you getting 0mh/s but the miner is running? Does it say screen is terminating without starting the miner? Does the miner not run? Does the miner screen exit? Here is how to fix it in 4 quick steps:
-
Run the command
pimpupin the terminal and update both the PiMP software, as well as the miner you are running. -
Does this profile run fine with the defaults? For example, profile 2501 uses ewbfminer and you can restore the default config with: del nvidia.ewbf.zcash.pcfg and then run it with:
pimp --test 1(if it is miner id #1 in thepimp --list). -
If
pimp --test 1does not show you the right information you can go a step further and run without stats and without the screen. This is just for testing:pimp --debug 1 -
If you run fine with the default conf then you know it’s your conf that is the problem. Double check it with checkconf command.
If you’re having any other problems, come join us in our Discord Channel!
You can now add and remove miners on the miner.farm website! To add a miner, the Agent Settings panel now displays the GPUs in the agent host, and allows you to add miners using the profiles on the rig. Miners can be removed from the Miner Settings panel. (See the miner.farm section on the forum for an easy guide.)
Check out more hardware details about your rigs on your miner.farm panel by clicking the Miner Settings button on a rig in your Farm view.

Happy Holiday’s, Crypto Miners!
We have been excited to welcome a great burst of new people as well as the usual regulars that always seem to know what is going on in crypto!
Thanks to your honest feedback, we went back to the basics. We have been optimizing, slimming down, and bug fixing to get the stability PIMP is known for. Haven’t tried PIMP yet? What are you waiting for… There’s coins to be made!
Nvidia and AMD combo rigs! Custom kernels and drivers! And more! Start unwrapping!!!
PIMP-2.4.1-ALL: RELEASED 20171216:
This release Added NVIDIA/AMD Combination rigs support! (Nvidias before AMDs!!)
Yes, This is the best image for ALL AMD & NVIDIA & Mix-and-match GPUs! (Except some people with AMD R 7000/200/300 series may still get better hashrates with the old 1.9 fglrx distribution.)
Other Big Features in PiMP OS 2.4:
BIG PLATFORM UPDATES
- Added PolarisBiosEditor Visual Video BIOS editor for AMD GPUs to local GUI/RDP desktop.
- Save, Edit, Replace AMD BIOS from a GUI or the console.

Forum Highlights:
Category: Unsolved There is a new “Unsolved” button right at the top so you can see questions that were asked and still needing some help, or ongoing concerns and investigations! Any information can help, and you might see your question there too, so you will want to check this often. Also there are brand new 1080p video guides for both New pimps getting started, and helpme / troubleshooting, check those videos out on the forum: Getting Started → Quickstart topic, and the Troubleshooting → How to troubleshoot your rig topic.
NEW! Beta Team Business Tips:
Autoswitching is something that a lot of new miners ask for. The pro miners know that this seems great but it is not. The pros want you to know that the goal is to keep as many rigs mining as much as possible. Any automatic switching or changing when you manage many rigs causes loss of profit due to downtime. They say: Calculate your profit based on the numbers and don’t forget to factor labor costs, payout schedules, etc. in when you are making decisions about your farm.
UPCOMING CONTESTS….
Post your rig in the Rig Showcase on the forum with photos, settings, and hashrates. We will be giving out prizes for some new categories in the coming months! For more great information about mining, come join us in the PiMP Discord!!
Hello Crypto world and PiMPs around the globe
Welcome to the new year and what a year it has been.
Pimp as a company came so far in the past year from being in the shadow of other Operating systems to what it has become today a full heavy full OS that kicks ass.
This being said there have been many changes in the background of PiMP aswell.
With the coming of a full support team , beta team ,upgrade to discord as a main chat medium and active forums.
There have been a number of changes also in the Admin section of PiMP.
With all this positive news it is with a heavy heart that I must take my leave from this crew.
This choice has been made on my own after a month of putting things on a scale.
I personally would like to end this on a positive note because I care much for the original crew and the work that has been done giving you guys one of the best choices a miner could need for there choice in what they want to run on there rig.
Why would you leave is a question I got , well to answer that I need to disclose a bit of personal info.
Last year was also a year that I changed my day job (yes all the work that has been done was besides this ) and also they offered me a study to follow, this next to the Family matters.
As you can imagine this is more then a day holds in hours so every day was a tight squeeze.
Last but never the less not least I would personally like to thank Melt and Lily for putting there trust in me and that we could lay the foundation to what pimp is today.
I will NOT leave the crypto world and you can always contact me on the many places I have a presence in and who knows where the road takes me next it certainly is a great age to be a miner.

JANUARY UPDATE: 2.4.2: More Stability, Smaller Image
PiMP-2.4.2-all and other updates were released this month to roll up fixes for stability, especially for pimps that were having trouble imaging or verifying their keys. Discord and other help resources now load right on the GUI desktop for our new miners to have easy access to the help they need.
By popular request, we also turned on previous released versions for all customers to download to help those working with older or more stubborn equipment. Check your getpimp .org “My Downloads” section for all the links.

Beta Team Business Tips
HAND HOLDING LIKE SOME TEENAGE SWEETHEARTS
One of the most useful features is our pimpup --auto. You can set up auto resets of the rig on a regular rotation (we recommend weekly).
Other things you can do:
- reboot the box after it's done pimp'ing up with `pimpup`
- `pimp --stop 1 && pimpup --auto && pimp --start 1` can be used to update pimp and the current miner(s) in use (make sure to stop 2,3,4 if you are using those, as well.)
- Remember: pimpup only updates the software during the "Updating PiMP Software" part. Then it brings you to a menu to update your miner. After you've updated your software, don't forget to update your miner!

The Future of PiMP: To 3.0 and Beyond!
MARCH UPDATE
The PiMP platform is evolving quickly along with the changes to the AMD drivers and their relationship with the Linux kernel. Here’s what to expect under the hood over the next few months:
- PiMP 2.5.1 releases in April using CUDA 9.1 and the PiMP 4.15 Cheesesteak kernel.
- PiMP 2.6 is in the works for June, and will be based on Linux 4.16.
Keeping on the latest technology means being the first to support new GPUs, coins, and miners, as well as squeezing every last hash from your cards.
In addition to this amazing kernel work by the PiMP developer family in moving toward PiMP 3.0 generation, there are some headline features to be announced in the coming months.
PiMP 3.0 is going to give you much more control over miner versions and PiMP packages using the apt package system. For instance, you will be able to choose among versions of a miner and pick the one that works great for you. And the ability to provide more updates via pimpup instead of requiring a reimage, this is something that everyone loves.
Support Team Shout Outs
THIS ONE GOES OUT TO OUR FAVORITE AI
This month we wanted to focus on our favorite PiMP command tool: helpme
We’ve tapped our shiny red rigs together three times and the PiMP team is excited to announce that after consulting the man behind the curtain, helpme is getting a brain!
Getting smarter, faster, and easier, the next generation of helpme is going to look at the logs and tell you if it sees any problems. This will help you keep your rigs up and running smooth. And less troubleshooting time is more profit for you.
Miner Highlights
FIND THE LOVE OF YOUR MINE ON OUR FORUM
With future changes coming to your favorite coins, you’ll need the functionality of a miner that can switch to other coins. Let PiMP come to your rescue because we have lots of examples for how to quickly adjust to changes in the new market with new miners and regular updates. Since we are by miners, for miners, we fulfill as many feature requests as we can. Check out the posts in the product news section on the forum for the latest changelogs, release notes, and coin announcements!

Website Updates
SPRING CLEANING PiMP STYLE
We are underway renovating our entire web presence, and integrating all things PiMP and Miner.Farm into one site, built from scratch using up to date tools.
This means that using PiMP and Miner.Farm will be easier than ever; all your account information will be in one place for both PiMP OS purchases and Miner.Farm subscriptions, and you will be able to manage them from one place. With this comes a much improved interface, with far more flexible tools to manage your rigs and farm.
Phase One will give you a unified account; all your purchases and subscriptions in one place for both PiMP OS and Miner.Farm. We want to make sure this essential piece is working perfectly with payment providers and our internal accounting so the rollout is not in the immediate future, but it is first on the list for release, and we will be certain to let you know as the day approaches!
