1  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] Bminer: a fast Equihash miner for CUDA GPUs (5.3.0) on: February 01, 2018, 05:56:11 PM

1. Pardon me my friends; I don't mean to make any conclusion right now. In my case : I still cannot conclusively say which one is more profitable.
Right now, I just want to (sincerely and without any prejudice) query for explanation from the developer (RealBminer). :-)

2. In my case : rejected shares is merely the same between both. Once again : I just want to (sincerely and without any prejudice) query for explanation from the developer (RealBminer). :-)

Thank you all. Happy mining!


In the end, all that matters is accepted shares. Which is why a few people, me included, is a little skeptical of this miner hashrate.

Can you try to mine with devfee off and see if your hashrate or accepted shares or payout changes?


In my newbie opinion; there is nothing wrong for people to receive rewards for his/her good effort. :-)
I don't mind paying some fee for the developer (it's one's intellectual property right), as long as :
1. The fee is fair and honest. and,
2. The result / benefit is greater then the cost / fee.
Thanks anyway for your suggestion. :-)

@RealBminer : Back to my question; I just want to know your explanation about Hashrate and Accepted shares on Bminer. Thank you. :-)


I think you and the other guy is misunderstanding me. I don't mind devfee at all. I'm using DSTM where you can't turn off devfee.

I'm asking people to try out the no devfee option to see if they see any change in hashrate/share/payout.

What you did is flawed on multiple levels. You did two tests consecutively, and then also looked at the payout. The difficulty of the algo you mine will have changed in the meantime, making the 2nd run easier/harder to mine, but never the same. You also looked at payouts but never mention what currency, because if it is anything other than the coin you mine, and it looks like you are talking about BTC, then the market will also have fluctuated the price by the time of the 2nd run. Shortly put: don't trust what you just did ...

It was Zclassic. I infered difficulty from estimated rewards on Zclassic which shows how much of that specific coin you may get based on the difficulty at the time. Yes, I understand this is estimated. Difficulty goes up and down all day so you take a 24 hour average. During the test, estimated rewards differences were less than 5%.

Also, no one has yet to dispute my other point about hash rate when dev fee is on/off. There is no difference between the two option in hash rate shown and actual rewards despite documentation that optimizations are disabled.

Someone else please try disabling devfee.

So I've been testing Bminer for a few days now and I am going back to DSTM's miner (zm).

First off, everyone else should be doing their own tests and make their own judgement. Take my results with a grain of salt. I started this test because I tried out no devfee option on this miner and saw pretty much no change whatsoever on the hash rate which was really strange.

Hardware: 5 x GTX 1070

Testing methodology: Start miner. Take note of Sol/s. Wait 24 hour. After the first 24 hour, take note of Debit AP. Wait another 24 hour, take note of Debit AP.

Note: Second Debit AP is what I used in this table to keep this short. Of course, testing for longer than this will give more accurate results but this is enough for me. DO YOUR OWN TEST.

MinerAverage SolsDev FeePayout Last 24HR
Bminer2510Yes0.12886265
Bminer2510No0.12936028
DSTM's (zm)2440Yes0.14198767

As I said before, there's no difference in hash rate whether you're running with dev fee or not. During these tests, I check whattomine everyday for their 24 hour estimated rewards; it was around 0.145. This is just an estimation but I think it's a good guideline of what you should be paid as it has been accurate for me for months and months.

I think the hash rate shown is padded and I will be going back to DSTM's in the mean time.

Can other people test no devfee option? Anyone else keeping track of their payouts?

this is ridiculous. what kind of scientific methodology is that? decide for whatever you want if you play with random results.

go back in the thread. I was running both miners for 4 or 5 days on the same rig with the same system config and 4 same cards for each miner. This means that I averaged out most of if not all randomness which is there to average out. And I got ca. 6-7% better results from the pool hash rate stats and not some random debit credit which also depends on a hell lot of factors beyond your control.

really, before you post any message like that think whether you compare apples to apples or it is google to apples and then stop complaining about what you see. because you just cannot compare the way you do

First, I didn't say it was scientific at all wtf... I was lining out what I was doing, and I did say that people should do their own test and come to their own conclusion. If this miner is better for you then you use it. Same with EWBF vs DSTM miner. I even put in TWO places that people should do their own tests and to take my results with a grain of salt.

Second, I mine on suprnova so hash rate doesn't mean shit because suprnova doesn't display accurate hash rate. This is why I used payout because in the end all that matters is how much you get paid.

Third, how do you explain that no devfee and devfee have the exact same hash rate even though it clearly says in the documentation that no devfee will not be as optimized?

Lastly, I did look at your post and you did the exact same thing except for more days... you also used payout amount as the deciding factor lmao. I don't know what pool you used but suprnova has large total hash rate for the coin I'm mining which mean there is very little variance.

LET ME REPEAT AGAIN.

People should do their own test and form their own conclusion. This is just mine.

@realbminer

Can you change the uptime to day:hr:min:sec? or just day:hr:min would be fine as well Smiley

Great miner so far.

I started back on this pool again and it seems to load much faster now so I guess the upgrade wasn't for nothing.

Just waiting for the lost payments to be paid out at this point.

Best zen pool around.

Can we get the latest version of dstm?
9  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Pools (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] [ZEN, HUSH] zhash.pro Fees 0% for now! on: December 11, 2017, 04:11:15 PM
I just started mining in this pool as well. For about two days now.

Great pool. I was using suprnova which is good as well but for some reason I kept disconnecting over night...

The current 0% fee made it an easy decision.
10  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] dstm's ZCash / Equihash Nvidia Miner v0.5.6 (Linux / Windows) on: December 08, 2017, 01:44:44 PM
Hi guys can anyone tell me how can i monitor dstm console in realtime i have set telemetry but it does not show console i'm
use simplemining and i want to have secondery method of monitoring the console

The only way to monitor console on SMOS is to use SSH or plug in a monitor.

Use w/e SSH client you like, ssh to your miner local ip (like 192.168.1.69), user is miner, pass is miner, then run command "screen -x miner" without quote of course.

my miner is on another network actually on another place i have a monitor connected but to check i have to drive 10min thats why i want to know if there is a way
to monitor dstm console like clamores console tru a browser or what ever else cause if i cant i have to move to windows

You can also watch the console on simplemining.net, although it does take a minute or so to update. Otherwise set up ssh.

I've been using SMOS ever since you added NvOS and it's been great. I think Linux is a much better choice than Windows when it comes to mining. It is so much easier to overclock and test on linux.

About adding new miners, while I do agree with keeping the number of options small to keep it simple, I think it would be good to retire older versions of miners that people aren't using as well if you keep usage statistics. This should reduce a good amount of clutter.

Other than that good job and best of luck.
13  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: EWBF's CUDA Zcash miner on: July 31, 2017, 08:04:38 AM
when will this 0.3.4b update?
0 Sol and stop is very annoyed.........
waste lot of time.....


Usually this means that your OC is not stable...

But you can check out @sverox's script here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1707546.msg20430756#msg20430756

I OC as much as I can so my GPU crashes every 15 hours or so. His script hasn't failed to keep the miner running yet.

Although, this doesn't actually restart the computer, it only handles the miner.
14  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: EWBF's CUDA Zcash miner on: July 29, 2017, 05:53:59 PM
@sverox, thanks for the script man, very useful. Sent you some coins here.

This monitor is looking very promising. I will be donating for sure. Is the Web VNC client on the dashboard?
