Dear Acrefawn,

I got more issues to flag unfortunately.

I am using FarmWatchBot v2.0.0 with DSTM miner v0.6.1 to mine Zcash. I have 3 GPUs, a GTX 1080 Ti, a GTX 970 and a GTX 750 Ti. They have hashrates of about 730, 280 and 90 Sols per second respectively, making my total hashrate at approximately 1100 Sols/s. I also use MSI Afterburner to overclock and tune my GPUs.

However, the first of my woes is that it has come to my attention that my average hashrate is always reported to be only at approx 280 (which is what my GTX 970 gives) instead of 1100, while the last hash often shows the correct values at around 1100 (I italicised the word 'often' due to the following issue below).

Next up, my last hash can sometimes go all the way down to just 5 Sols/s and cause the program to attempt to restart the miner, while in fact this is not the case at all.

For the above 2 issues, I have to set the average hashrate in the .ini file to be 0 to avoid this issue.

After which, I have just started receiving notifications that there is a long share timeout after the miner encounters rejected shares with code 20 ("Invalid Equihash solution") or 21 ("Stale job!"), again attempting to restart the miner. This was not the case in the past where the mining will still carry on as per normal even after encountering rejected shares. I had to disable last share timeout check in the .ini file in order to circumvent this problem.

Last but not least, not forgetting that the miner refuses to work with the string "--temp-target 80" in the .ini and DSTM_miner.bat files, as mentioned in the previous two posts in this forum.

I also need to mention that I just upgraded from DSTM v0.6 to v0.6.1 last night and these were the issues found when I was giving the new DSTM miner an extended test run throughout the night. It might not be your program's fault, but I thought it will be worth mentioning these issues to you in case you can provide a hotfix for those who use DSTM v0.6.1. These issues did not surface when I was using DSTM v0.6.

I will provide pictures later as I am currently working. Nonetheless, thank you for creating this program to allow me to watch over my miner when I'm not at home!
