I am trying to use the latest / greatest srbminer for pearl and i am having issues.
I set the miner to custom and put: https://github.com/doktor83/SRBMiner-Multi/releases/download/3.6.7/srbminer_custom-3.6.7.tar.gz in the install url but when i try to use said miner it gives an error saying tr: warning: an unescaped backslash at end of string is not portable and I don’t know which algorithm/s you want to use?
What did i miss on this?
You need to specify all parameters in the extra config, srbs custom ignores the other fields there I believe
Thank you very much. I was able to get my miner up and running. Took a lot of googling to find the right string to use.
Lets see if i can start getting some money to replace these leaky windows ( grown up ambitions kida suck lol )

May I ask you to share those findings please? Trying the same, but the pool keeps diconnecting me just after the succesfull connection. Thanks.
Hi! A pool that accepts the connection and then drops you right away is almost always a mismatch between the pool settings and what the miner is told, so a few things worth checking:
- Port and SSL: many pools have separate ports for plain TCP and for SSL. If you use the SSL port, the pool URL in the extra config needs the SSL prefix (e.g. ssl://), and with the plain port it must not have it.
- Algorithm: the algorithm you pass must be exactly the one the pool serves on that port, otherwise it will authorize and then kick you.
- Wallet/login format: check whether the pool wants just the address, or address.workername, and that there are no stray spaces or line breaks in the extra config.
Since the custom miner ignores the normal flight sheet fields, double-check that algorithm, pool, wallet and password are all in the extra config. If it still disconnects, run “miner log” and post the lines right after the connection, with your wallet blanked out, and it should be easy to see what the pool is rejecting.
