help .. whats wrong with my gpu using bminer ... before i am using dstm work fine and get 192 sol/s with my gtx 1060 3gb vga card ..but when i use bminer always 0 sol/s

100% devfee

What a load a horseshite ... you continue to be totally vague, despite repeated requests for actual details and explanations. You must think we're all stupid. Let's see:

The first communication checks the update and receives license information, including for example where to mine devfee. Because of security reasons, it would be very hard to eliminate this private communication.

Total BS. If that were true, all miners would require it. What security concerns? Explain it to the experts. I'm a dev myself. Let's hear it.

The follow-up communications only send runtime information of bminer, like the mining speed of each card and performance status. This may enable bminer to choose better optimization strategies.

Complete BS. You don't need to call back home to enable optimizations. Build them into the executable like any sane developer.

I understand your concerns about the private connection. In future, I will consider making the follow-up runtime communications transparent. Or alternatively, I can create an option to opt-out the communications.

Remove it. Can't you see it's the biggest reason why people hate you and your miner?

Right now it all screams that you are shady. Sorry, but the repeated times you were called out on this and failed to provide details to reassure users all point to hidden interests.

I've been working really hard to try to expose what's being sent back and forth to his servers, but he's gone to great lengths to protect it. So far, here's what I've found:

This is the communication that occurs as soon as you start the miner (there's also some unprintable characters which I omitted, I believe this is encrypted info that I won't be able to break):

I'm reasonably sure this is Nanopool's cert which he uses explicitly to prevent cert forging and MITM attacks on his devfee.

This is the communication that occurs every 10-15 minutes or so (note the content length is way higher than the content which means im missing stuff, possibly speeds):

Replace all the zeroes with your GPU's UUID and PCI position, replace X's with your model.

I believe there was also speed in there, but I'm not sure. It's difficult to reconstruct this shit.

Apology accepted. But you're still not taking into account PPLNS, a reason why I suggested you do some reading (not all shares you submit are paid, not all blocks are equal in either length or difficulty, not all last N shares span a single block, etc).

it seems bminer was faster ... but as was pointed out earlier, @realbminer could have just watched this thread and tweaked with the fee to make it 2% faster by removing the fee for the duration of that test for all we know. It is the most untrustworthy and suspicious miner out there, hands down. Add that @realbminer didn't address the questions and you have an explanation why people are not trusting this miner and are sticking with dstm's. Remove the private connection if you want to be taken (more) seriously.

Thanks for "gaining" me the ability to tweak devfees on-the-fly. Any evidences to back it up your claims?

The tests have been done multiple times by different people and the results and the results are pretty consistent.



The evidence is your unwillingness to let requests to api.bminer.me happen in the clear.

Any comments on Bminer contacting 104.31.68.221:443/104.31.69.221:443 regularly?

Quoting myself so perhaps this gets a response from the developer.

Well, I'm not the dev but pretty sure I have your answer.

nslookup bminer.me
Name:   bminer.me
Address: 104.31.68.221
Name:   bminer.me
Address: 104.31.69.221

Also, my connection sucks so sometimes I get the following, purportedly because I lose connection to the internets all the time):
Checking updates
Failed to read from the network: Get https://api.bminer.me/v1/init/zec/520: net/http: request canceled while waiting for connection (Client.Timeout exceeded while awaiting headers)
Checking updates

Navigating to that link gives us the following content:

So I can only suspect it connects to that IP regularly to update the software and relay the connection string for the dev fee in case he wants to change it.

It could also be used for some nefarious purpose like transferring all your files and private keys to his server, who knows. That's the risk with closed source.
