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.



This is simply not true.
Most of the previous reports, which were done without publishing the pool-test account, clearly state that bminers hash rate is lower on pool side but is reported localy higher. Everyone is able to read it on this thread.

On ethermine pool I can tell you that it has always under reported my estimated payment and hashrate, but the _actual_ payment matched almost exactly what I expected. It may be that something is off on their side ... but as long as it's off in the same way for all miners then your test is relevant (for which miner's best).

If you want to compare payouts, then leave it longer than 24h (say, 3 days?) and after you stop the rigs, allow for at least 1h more so that the last shares you mined get counted in the last 1h window on Flypool.

I secretly hope bminer is better in the end, simply because dstm on my rigs is reducing hashrate due to too much cpu hogging.

Unfortunately, my connection to flypool goes down and all four rigs stop working at the same time around 13:30. Here is the summary of tests I have for the 12 hours, you can check on the page:

dstm: https://zcash.flypool.org/miners/t1SstC4pJy3JtKdqSoFJZk6SUtyznfo1ZB6


bminer : https://zcash.flypool.org/miners/t1LLJPAoYajZjPQggPZcdDpwPont4AoGvfq


              Pool avg. hashrate          Payout
dstm               5.29kH               0.03619ZEC      
bminer            5.48kH               0.03847ZEC

If you are interested in seeing the full running logs, here it is: https://ufile.io/f2906

Note that my experiments should NOT be interpreted as a general experiment that can apply to all situations. The best way to find out which miners work best for you is to try it yourself.

To be honest, I see this as a healthy situation for all of us. As long as the difference between bminer and dstm is small, they will have to play fairly (for example, not raising devfees) and we get more choices.

If I have time, I may run a comparison again maybe on another pool. But I cannot promise because doing this takes a lot of energy.


That's very strange.
On my tests dstm constantly outperforms bminer on pool side.
It's even more strange since bminer reports localy a higher hash rate.

However my main concern is the private connection of this miner.
The dev can increase / decrease the fee anytime he want's.
Downgrading won't help us because of the private connection.
Actually he can do what ever he wants, that's why he put the private connection in, I'm pretty sure about this.
Supporting this kind of miners seems to be a very stupid thing for us to do - there is no other miner I'm aware of which requires a private connection - this miner requires a private connection to even start mining.

This is definitly a SCAM MINER.

It overreports its hashrate, just take a look at the reports of experienced users.
Even worse realbminer or his buddies constantly spam this thread, this forum, reddit and so on with fake reports.
This was noticed on the official Zcash forum where realbminer got banned.

That's what the Zcash forum admin states.

Code:
Beware: OP has been Banned for creating multiple sock-puppet accounts to promote this miner.
I wouldn’t trust software from someone who uses deceptive techniques. Links have been removed from original post.

Nice try.

Bminer reports the hashrates of the GPUs which include the devfee portions as well.

There are many users that consistently report that the miner produces more hashrates for other miners.

You're welcome to give it a try yourself to see whether this is a scam or not.



I was considering it.
I definitely won't do it after googling for bminer.
