New version of DSTM (0.6.1) with 2% improvement for Linux systems. I still believe it is far better than Bminer and far more accurate and reliable. I will consider switching to Bminer when the reported hashrate on the console and the one on the pool reflect the truth about the dev fee and when the reject share rate goes down. Or maybe if he considers lowering the dev fee to compesate for lower miner performance.

I am sorry but 4 post and results nobody is near them with the same cards on different systems. I think you should upload a pic otherwise I just think you are pretty much bluffing...

I have not seen anyone getting that high hashrate and sols/W with GTX 1070 Ti. That combination does not sound right to me

That is actually not true. I have 6 GTX 1070 Ti and get 4.12 sols/W average between the 6 cards and all of them are running at 70% TDP. The best one it is doing 4.23 sols/W. Have a look




No need to go that low but still I am surprise about the performance difference on the hashrate. I average 3107 maximun 3111 and he is doing 200 more sols average. Are you using Windows or Linux? and what driver version?

No thanks

I can get the same performance you get with 80% TDP/ +200 clock/ +700 mem that is 530-535 sols/s ish using far less elecricity than what you are using. It actually seems you are wasting it so I assume you do not pay for it. I do not know what brand you are using but mines are EVGA and MSI and they do not like more than +750 mem. Combined clock and mem they do not like more than +220 clock/+730 mem otherwise they crash (at least that is my experience)

There is also a compromise between what you get from the cards, the electricity you pay and the life expectancy of the equipment and I would say with your settings last one is not going to be long enough to make profit out of them.

that´s ok.

I pay 0.0840 Kw/h so is not that far off from yours. I will try these settings and see how much does the electricity increases.

Are those numbers with the new drivers 397.35 or with the previous ones 391.35?

Thanks.

the problem with those settings is that you only get 190 hashrate more than I do but the power draw from the wall is much higher so the cost of electricity doesn´t compensate the increase hashrate.

with my settings power draw is 830W total. Whats yours?

For people with NVIDIA cards specially those with GTX 1070 Ti.

Has someone tried the new drivers 397.31 released on the 25th of april? if so any improvements compared to previous version 391.35??

I have installed 391.35 and with 70%TDP, +200 clock and +700 memory I get 3090 average hashrate with 6 GTX 1070 Ti.

Thanks everyone

Hi guys!

Any improvement on the hashrate and rejected shares in version 7 compared to 6.1? or still the same? Also, any improvement on the reported hashrate versus the pool hashrate? is it still way higher in the console than in the pool?

I have only tried version 6.1 and got too many rejected shares plus the hashrate as many reported already was much higher in the console than in the pool so I switched back to DSTM for the time being.

For realbminer, why 0.65% devfee for ethash and still 2% for Equihash? I honestly think you are doing a good job with the miner but still not as reliable as DSTM not faster at the moment and people with many problems to run it stable or to run it at all though you lower the devfee only for ETH.

thanks guys and thanks realbminer

DSTM already mention V0.6.1 will have this feature. Have a look

Realbminer some feedback for you.

I have run the miner for 12 hours so far with 6 GTX 1070 Ti, 70% TDP, +200 clock, +700 memory and this is what I have noticed so far:

1. The miner restarted 3 times so far in 12 hours so it seems to have a bit of a stability issue. DSTM barely restarted once in 7 days in a raw. (I do like the watchdog though as don´t have to worry about the miner going down).

2. As many people said, the reported hashrate in the console is higher than the one in the pool. I get an average of 3200 sols/s if we deduct your 2% (that is 64 sols/s) it should be aroud 3136 sols/s on the pool as the real hashrate give or take. The pool so far has only reported that hashrate during a period of 2 to 3 hours though I did mention I have been playing with the CPU energy so might be the reason. I will monitor the next 24/48 hours.

3. You said the CPU uses a lot of resources to start the miner and then it lowers due to initial communication between CPU and GPU, right? After modifying the high performance energy plan on windows 10 (basicly I reduce the maximun CPU consumption from 100% down to 60%) the hashrate on the console went down to 3150/3160 sols/s but didn´t bounce back to 3200 as it should. That brings the next question: Are you mining your dev fee with the CPU?? or are you getting something extra on top of the 2% you already mine? It doesn´t make sense that the hashrate lowers after reducing the CPU as all the work is done by the GPUs.

4. It might be a good idea or not, but I think it will be a bit more transparent if next to the accepted shares, rejected shares you included a new count names Dev Shares then we could keep track and see if it really is a 2% what you are taking away.

Edit: 5. When the miner starts working, the first Accepted share is not number 1 or 0, it is always number 3 so it would be nice if it would start on 1 so the Accepted share count would much the shares. Besides starting with a 3 count difference then it grows more and it is on 13 shares difference now that I do not know wherter you took them as dev fee or where they have gone.

Thanks

I am not an expert neither pro Bminer, but your test or asumption is vague. You barely ran Bminer for a couple of hours and the comparason is not fair. It should be made with both miners running at the same time in different machines with exacty the same hardware and settings to have exactly the same conditions.

I do agree the invalid share rate is a bit higher. I have just started using Bminer as a try out and I have noticed exactly the same but can´t say is fair either because I am not running both miners at the same time.

With DSTM I use to get 0,2% rejected shares and with Bminer so far is nearly 0,5% but I have only been running it for the past 12 hours and been playing with the windows energy management to cut down the CPU.

This is my performance with 6 GTX 1070 Ti, 70% TDP, +200 clock, +700 memory:


And this is Flypool:


There are more fluctuations with Bminer so far, but as I said I have only used the miner for the past 12 hours and I´ve playing with the CPU energy to cut down so more Watts so It will need another 24 to 48 hours to be stable on the pool. I´ll post again the results in 24 hours

Have you used it? and does it really work?

yes we are on the same page jeje There have been claims in the past of 20% improvement in shares just by using a pool proxy like this That was the answer I was looking for but my question didn´t come across as obvious as it seemed in my head

Really nice to see new stuff coming out specially open source. I have some time tomorrow so might give it a go. Any ideas on how fast it could be on Equihash algo mining ZEC?

I don´t belief it is NO FEE so If I was you I wouldn´t use it. My shares on flypool do not match the shares on the miner, always higher on the miner than in the pool so it means it is sending shares somewhere. I do not know how to monitor connections, but if someone doesn´t mind explaining I am more than happy to listen, learn and then do it miself

EDIT: this is the wallet that comes with the miner as default t1Ja3TR6QBRDUd897sLn1YSeKc8HnWmvHbu. you can check it on flypool. I wonder if this is hazakiyoshimi or who. the account whent from 11KH/S to 21KH/S from yesterday afternoon untill now

Hi everyone! New user in bitcoin talk and fairly new mining too as been doing it only for a month or so. After reading 55 pages of conversations and discussions about Bminer I still haven´t made up my mind wheter to use it or not. To many concerns about security and background connections to Bminer servers and too many others related to its improvements over DSTM.

So far I use DSTM on my rig.

I have 6 GTX 1070 Ti, 3 of them MSI gaming and the other 3 EVGA SC and can not complain about their performance: average 3090 sols/s, 4.10 sols/w and 11.5 shares normally ( sometimes 10.80 and others 12.10) all cards on same settings, 70% TDP, +200 clock, +700 memory running stable at 50º C with fans on manual control between 25% an 37% depending on its position in the rig and the time of the day.



Any suggestions on how to improve this performance a bit more is always welcome.

The reason of my post and why I quoted philipma1957 is because I would like to ask a question from a newbie perspective so please be kind jeje

Looking at the pictures of your test philipma1957 I have noticed one thing: As you said, Bminer income is higher at the end of both tests by looking at the total amount nonetheless if we look in all your pics, on the Profitability (BTC/Day) is the same for both miners (0.0004/day) but the Total USD amount is always higher for DSTM (3.08/day VS 2.92 on the first picture and 4.36/day vs 3.86/day on the second). Besides on the right green box ´´payout amount´´ it is higher for Bminer ( on everything, daily, weekly and monthly) on the first to pictures but if we look at the second ones, everything is higher on DSTM though it is supposed to be performing worse than Bminer.

I want to understand how is this possible?

Do not take me wrong  philipma1957, I am not complaining about your test results or the way you have done them, I couldn´t have done them better myself but I do not undertand how, if Bminer is better and getting better payout it is not consistent all the time and is not always ahead of DSTM.

Thank you in advance

So the last bit of info I got from the hazakiyoshimi NO FEE Miner from yesterdays try out is as follows:

From 21:00 untill 22:00 miner reports 667 shares submitted (5 rejected) whilst flypool reports 651 shares all valid. That´s a 2,4% difference.
From 22:00 untill 23:00 miner reports 663 shares submitted (2 rejected) whilst flypool reports 650 shares all valid. That´s a 1,97% difference.
From 23:00 untill 23:40 miner reports 443 shares submitted (5 rejected) whilst flypool reports 424 shares (2 rejected). That´s a 4,29% difference.

I switched the miner off at that point and went back to DSTM original miner.

I got the info from the hazakiyoshimi NO FEE Miner itself. Modified the .bat file and included the --logfile command so it creates a .txt file where it registers the miner, exactly the same info you see when the miner is runing. That is the info I am analysing

Yesterday night I switched back to the original DSTM miner. During the day I will post the rest of the data from the hazakiyoshimi NO FEE Miner and I will also check the original DSTM miner to see if the fee is actually 2%. If I have time I will also try the maseryti 1% miner and see if it is truly 1%

Could you confirm which versions of DSTM miner NO FEE are you using? Are you using the one from HazakiYoshimi??

I have log the miner for the past 6 hours and this are the results I have obtained so far:

From 17:20 untill 18:10 the miner reports 580 shares submitted of which 3 are invalid whilst flypool on the same period reports 576 shares submitted of which only one is invalid. That gives me a difference of 0,7% rounded up.
From 18:10 untill 19:10 the miner reports 635 shares submitted of which 5 are invalid whilst flypool reports 614 shares submitted, all of them valid. That gives me a difference of 3,31%.
from 19:20 untill 20:00 the miner reports 538 shares submitted of which 3 are invalid whilst flypool reports 526 shares submitted, all of them valid. That gives me a difference of 2,26%.
From 20:00 untill 21:00 the miner reports 719 shares submitted of which 7 are invalid whilst flypool reports 700 shares submitted of which only 1 in invalid. That gives me a difference of 2,64%

I have more data I will post tomorrow but with this information so far I would say it is not a NO FEE miner so there has to be another connection going on where the rest of the shares are been submited and the actual fee is higher than the original DSTM.
