@DTSM
Bug found: Linux
When zm.cfg is present command line option to switch configs is ignored.
You cannot use 2 configs without isolating the entire directory.
I'm not sure if I'm understanding this correctly but having multiple configuration files in the same directory works fine for me. For me it is using the one with default name even if I give an option to use a different one. |

Where is the log file located? I'm getting a crash 'cuda memory out of resources and fan's blowing like crazy all the sudden. I just switched to 6.0,. then back to 5.8
All 6 1070's worked fine before.
Thanks in advance.
If you have not specified it will be in program directory" zm.log. Running out of memory with ZM is really bad - equihash should not take more than 600MB on a card. |

Still no answer on miner that works on Windows 7.
No understand? I have Windows 7. And every miner for any coins will crash in a matter of time. 3 mobos, different settings, fresh wipes of the OS...
Never mind.
Waste of time and effort.
It works on Windows ý without problems for me |

Cool I get to try the new version soon  DSTM GPU miner version 0.6 is here, thank you DSTM :-).
A lot of new features, geat.
But no improvment about he hashrate.
Are we at the maximum of the possible hashrate with the Equihash algo or is there some possible improvment in the future ?
The cards still have room for more computing power, but we are at limits of the previous model where CPU is driving the GPU hash power. I cannot imagine a big increase without reworking the entire way we mine on GPU and the benefit would only be felt at very expensive cards that are currently bad for mining (Titan, 1080TI) |

Hey dtsm, how's the new version coming ? any approx ETA ? Will it be available in cuda 9.1 ?
keep up the good work !
This weekend +- a couple days seems realistic. No it won't be compiled against cuda 9.1 in the next release. ZM's solution rate decreases by about 2% when compiled against it - so this requires a more detailed analysis first. Any chance you could add support for Power Limit to the version? Afterburner reports it as Power % on Pascal GPUs. It is so much work to match solutions to watt to TDP limits. |

How to OC ?
MSI afterburner does not work
Make sure you have OC enabled in 2D mode. Miner does not trigger rendering anything. I am on MSI Afterburner and it works. connection closed by server r 0
reconnecting
what do i do ?
i have done much troubleshooting with no luck.
note: i have other rigs under 3000sols on the same network that dont do this
look for the connection it tries to open, perhaps it will help to know what is the miner connecting to. (My suspicion is that miner is trying to connect to something that is no longer responding) In windows you can use install PSTools from sysinternals and use "Process Explorer" for convenience. In linux netstat should be enough. Does the recent Meltdown and Spectre OS patches affect the DSTM Miner's performance?
Has anybody done any before/after benchmarks?
From what, I read the recent Meltdown patch (KPTI) affects any programs that call the Kernel frequently such as netwoking, SSD disk access and CUDA memory copy operations from host to GPU.
How often does the DSTM Miner call the Kernel, anyway ?
I'm looking into this on both Operating-Systems. Not all OS-patches are finished currently... so yes, I'm aware of the of the increased systemcall time. Does the dstm miner perform the Blake2b hash on the CPU and transfer the results to the GPU by calling the CUDA driver and the Kernel each time ? If "yes" then it can be affected by the increased systemcall time due to the OZ Meltdown patches. As far I know dstm miner only mines ZEC and can't dual mine unless you use a program like Awesome miner . I don't think the Meltdown patch will affect it ... but CM eth dual miner possible could sense it can dual mine Blake2b coin types. Ofc i don't know shit lol .....I understand what you mean !!! .... that's just a example or answer to a problem that might happen that's not limited to one coin . i just wanted to add to it ........ That does not make sense! Mining ZEC requires calculating a lot of Blake2b hashes for the Equihash algorithm. Correct me if I am wrong, but increasing lag between CPU and GPU would only increase the demand on memory on the GPU. The impact on average amount of solutions should not be impacted by it. On a unrelated note - is it normal that the miner takes so little GPU memory? (<500MB for me) Don't count shares if you don't know their difficulty (value), count total Sol/s. I guess your pool show somewhere total hashrate of your workers, and that matters  Soooo... if I have more hashpower am I getting more difficult shares or what? :S Maybe (why not), but they will have higher value of course. Try mining ZEC on Flypool, there is fixed difficulty, accurate hashrate reporting, nice graphs, so you can easily compare if your two cards mine more than just one. But you should let it run for at least 24h to get accurate average hashrate. This based on luck. There is a guarantee you will find a share, but the amount of hashes it takes changes. Pools will report higher hash rate due to this. It is still ok to use pool hashrate. Difficulty is used to balance workload. Higher difficulty will result in miner working in longer "cycles" which is beneficial to faster hardware. Average solutions per second are the measurement of how your miner performs. Note that the reliance is always on the miner. That is why I am using pools as well. 2% fee on the miner and another % on the pool .. .cmon here..
Miner fee and Pool fee are unrelated as for the amounts it is 2% of my hashing power and 0.9% from the pool for my payment. |

do you mean difficulty should be mapped to a smaller range such that it's easier to read? Float is a datatype representing real numbers it's not related to the radix/base that's used for representation.
What I mean is that pools expect difficulty configuration as a number, so even I know where my performance sweet spot is - I cannot just paste it as a hint to the pool. I am not sure if that is possible, but it would be appreciated. - Current log makes little sense without further tools. (I would appreciate more details)
What details are you missing? And how is it related to tools you would not need otherwise? The idea of logging change is to make it easier to spot problems. The log right now has the information you need, it is just clumped together. For example I switched to mining pool hub and performance dropped 5-10% - I used python to split the information and found out they are seemingly randomly changing difficulty back to 0001.... I checked the shares and found out the coin switching is not nicely implemented by the pool. Other card had performance problems due to fan not scaling (For some reason the fan speed was not scaled on temperature in 2D mode). - Here might be a good innovation. If you can read PerfCap Reason and accordingly to it would be better rather than temperature. - I suspect targeting a temperature will be a good workaround Now I am trying to find sweet spots for Sol/W, because going as fast as possible is not always the best efficiency. Anyway I am looking forward to new versions, but I am sticking with 0.5.7. Performance on 0.5.8 is worse for me CPU wise.
Now that's is a very useful information. If there are any regressions between the versions - pls report them - I can't fix them otherwise and they might appear in later versions too. How much did the cpu load increase for you? Since you took the time to respond, I took the time to replicate my original problem. Unfortunately I was not able to. I am now running at 0.5.8 |

The demand on memory performance degrades with lower difficulty tests. I would not trust anything running for short amount of time. EWBF for me died when he cannot even provide a binary over Google Drive (Trojan detection.) DTSM became the miner of my choice thanks to a benchmark posted on http://www.zcashbenchmarks.info/I still stand with my first assessment that the main downfall of this client is the ability to communicate and state things clearly... - Difficulty is not a float, but hex - Log is just an extension of the command line output - Command line output is just a status message - Telemetry replaces command line output (Good thing) - Current log makes little sense without further tools. (I would appreciate more details) I think the log should contain: - TCP communication details (Hostname, IP, Port) - Share details (More than just + or *) - no performance ticks (Could be replaced by TXT file for benchmarking.) Anyway I am looking forward to new versions, but I am sticking with 0.5.7. Performance on 0.5.8 is worse for me CPU wise. |

Does anyone from MPH actually look at this thread?
he just doesnt care anymore obviously. Post like this is what causes people to ignore forums. Even when I am paid to read responses like this, they go way down in priority. If you are not motivated to answer these eventually you will just give up on that group of people. |

Hay guys any way to connect DSTM with Nicehash? Or mining equahash on DSTM @ nicehash pool?
The miner does not care which coin you mine. It calculates shares based on minimum difficulty and provides them back. Coin switching on NiceHash should just as easy as on MPH: zm.exe --server europe.equihash-hub.miningpoolhub.com --port 17023 --user user.worker --time --logfile --telemetry=0.0.0.0:8080 Hay guys any way to connect DSTM with Nicehash? Or mining equahash on DSTM @ nicehash pool?
https://www.nicehash.com/cpu-gpu-miningUnder "Select closest location for more efficient mining" you can generate the configs example configs please Information provided for EU and Equihash: stratum+tcp://equihash.eu.nicehash.com:3357 stratum+ssl://equihash.eu.nicehash.com:33357 username: YourBitcoinAddress password: x zm.exe --server equihash.eu.nicehash.com --port 3357 --user YourBitcoinAddress.worker --pass x --time --logfile --telemetry=0.0.0.0:8080 You can check your results on: http://localhost:8080/ |

Equihash GPU Miners accompanied by Awesome Miner
What's the best method for mining on Equihash algo? Use the multipool port (17xxx) and let it ride?
Add each dedicated pool in Awesome Miner and enable profit switching in AM, set your time and thresholds in the software?
Mine a specific coin and stick with it...? I'm not sure how much "down time" pool hopping actually has, how often you should swap, etc...
Any input would be greatly appreciated!
BC
I am not actually using Awesome Miner, but I aim to try it later. I am uising the DTSM's ZCash miner. I am switching coins and it does have problems I reported before when joining MPH. I am still using it and getting roughly 15% gain to mining over at slush pool. (After fees) I would not go with auto switching unless you plan to mine non-stop. The penalty I get from resetting difficulty is stupid. zm.exe --server europe.equihash-hub.miningpoolhub.com --port 17023 --user user.worker--pass d=128 --time --logfile --telemetry=0.0.0.0:8080 |

Do someone got telemetry success? I put --telemetry 0.0.0.0:2222 but can't got it on 127.0.0.1:2222
use the word localhost in browser and select port that is not privileged, that should help. Windows or linux? |

Jesus, this pool is plagued with so many problems, and the pool OP is virtually silent about all of it - only some brief messages every now and then, but not addressing nearly all the important complaints.
Why are so many people still using this pool? Did it use to work perfectly in the past and it only now started to have problems all of a sudden?
Is there a good alternative to this pool which can do auto-switching on the same algorithm (not between algorithms)? I only know of zpool.ca but that has ridiculous fees and few coins per algo
I agree with you. I contacted them about auto-exchange that never happened. They said "your transaction of 7 VTC is in your wallet" oh not it is not. I provided screen shots, showing it never made it. So far, no help on this issue. I am mining now at theblocksfactory.com (DGB). I have used MPH for a long time, this is very frustrating. I cannot speak for everybody, but this pool is gathering traction due to the nicehash controversy. Personally I like the idea of consolidating miners and it is worth a test. PS: After almost 3 hours I am still not at the same difficulty as I expect - but I am slowly getting there. |

We need a mod to clean the posts from these rat commie bastards that keep coming in here and shitting on the best Equihash miner available.
You guys that don't believe in capitalism and making a profit can go join the rest of the liberals and head to North Korea as far as I'm concerned.

Couldn't have said it better myself! The fee should be set to maximise profit for the DEVs. i.e. too high and you lose too many people, too low and you aren't making optimal profit. This is a business and no reason to think it's a philanthropic one. I can't believe the greed of those complaining about a 2% fee! It's like 10 cents in every $5 of revenue. I can only assume they have been indoctrinated by the Liberal MSM so they think socialism works economically. Guys you are making the problem worse, You are a cheap replacement for a Chinese web farmer. |

Couple of questions or issues I am dealing when switching to mining hub
Do not worry, this is just a curious mind testing it for a month, I am sure it will end up ok.
Hub Workers are not inherited to coin workers
If I want to see my hub worker working I have to add the worker to each coin and then open the workers tab on a coin level.
I have even found instances where my expected hash rate was missing more than 30% and no coin was attributed that hashrate.
Very annoying considering coin switching feature requires a bit more trust than pool mining.
Hub Workers do share difficulty
I wonder if there is a reason to reset difficulty every time we receive a share from a different coin.
Even after an hour I did not receive difficulty I expected from Equihash mining last couple of months.
Difficulty hints mint be useful, but I find it hard to calculate them
Miner reports the difficulty as a hex and I am asking right now if there is a option to calculate the float value you expect in password.
I would really appreciate a proper worker dashboard with hashrate for each coin and 5 minutes/hour/day values
Overall I like the fee+donation options, I like the idea of consolidating miners. Looking forward to payouts and overall experience.

How can you calculate the difficulty?
It seems to be a HEX value, but the server mining pool hub expects float. Not sure if you can convert it from the logged value: 001980198019801980198019

I am also running 5.7, the issue is easy to replicate on my system. If I turn off anything that access 3D acceleration it drops the core clock to default in the BIOS. https://ctrlv.cz/cXuUIf your clockrate profile is the same for both intervals, then this is not a problem for you. |

You've got something WIERD going on if you have to run Chrome to get max hashrate - perhaps you don't have Afterburner set to run at startup, or something else is interfering?
There is nothing weird about it, afterburner it self does not render anything using GPU. Perhaps you are just using a aftermarket card that does include OC in the BIOS from the manufacturer.
Found the probable reason this has lower scores than the EWBF miner. Turns out it does not trigger 3D mode on your card, which disables OC and Boost.
You can replicate that by running Media Player Classic in Enhanced Video Renderer mode and even minimizing the paused video.
I got between 30 and 50 extra Sol/s
IDK what your on about, just did a performance test with a 3d app, (put everything on lowest settings) and i dropped 80 sols. To me it looks like it is already using 3d capabilities. GTX Cards have profiles and switching between them changes the way boost and OC works. Simply put, the computation does not trigger a profile used when playing games or using hardware acceleration. Once I trigger the change (for example media player with HW acceleration) the driver does increase clock of the card and enables boost to increase it even more. I suppose most users use aftermarket cards and those are OC by default in BIOS. I am using reference GTX 980 and the difference is over 200MHz in Core Clock of the card |
