Hey but I have a question that I didn't see the 30 rejected shares you mentioned in the second picture.

I hate to interrupt a flame war like this - you guys need to learn respect for other people's opinions - yes I'm new here - been mining zcash since Oct 2017, 2x 1080Ti + 1 x 1070.  I do not know it all like some of you think you do - but I've seen the EXACT same thing on flypool.  Here's what I see wrong with flypool that hurts us little guys.  Their recent increase of difficulty has created a situation where for a given block (2.5 - 5.0 minutes depending how fast flypool mines) YOU MAY NOT SUBMIT ANY SHARE AT ALL WITH ONE CARD.  Try it - watch your log for cases where with just 1 card you don't get a single share with enough 0's to be valid before a new block is issued and you start over.  For all that work (2.5 - 5.0 min on average) you ran your machine for no return because you couldn't make 1 share in the block time (2.5 - 5.0 min typical at flypool).   My single card machine is a 1070 that won't get along with my dual 1080Ti machine - so it runs separately.  It's not worth the power to run it on flypool.

Synopsis - Flypool is huge, mining the lion's share of ZEC with some REALLY BIG farms feeding them.  Those guys submit shares every few seconds to flypool, which is why they don't see a big difference.  In fact, flypool's decision reduces their stale share rate by dropping the network traffic into the flypool server. No block goes by that the big guys don't submit shares, but they may loose 1 share when a block is stale, and waste a very small amount of work at "the end" of a block where they don't submit the share being worked on but not yet found and a new block is issued, wasting at most 1-2 seconds of work if they send a share every 3 seconds.  Remember, SOLS/s is what you pay for in power, but shares is what pays you - no mining pool pays for sols/sec.  see caution below in solution.  Now, with just ONE GPU (my 1070) on flypool, I submit maybe 1 share every 2 to 3 blocks now - sometimes as many as 5 blocks go by.  I used to submit at least 1 + share per block on my 1070 card by itself.  That means for blocks with zero shares submitted, I waste 1-5 minutes of time mining.  This is all due to the fixed (high) difficulty of flypool.

The solution?  For small guys like us with < 6 cards of 1070, 1080 size, flypool is no longer the pool of choice.  I had payouts every 10-12 hours on flypool for months but now I'm wasting time there with my 1070 rig, so I'm moving to suprnova.cc who favors small gpu owners.  With them, I can manually set difficulty  "-p d=512" and on a single 1070 I submit multiple shares per block (though each share is worth less due to lower difficulty - suprnova devalues less dificult shares) which means when suprnova finally mines a block (every few hours unlike flypools every few minutes) I can get a realistic number of shares in that block and earn a decent payout every 1-2 blocks suprnova succeeds in mining.

What flypool has done is favor the big miners (6+ cards of 1080 equiv), and devalue the little guys.  That's why there are more than just a single pool out there.  I started with suprnova.cc on my 1 card rig, then went to flypool when I got my dual 1080ti rig, now I'm moving both rigs back to suprnova.cc.  And, yes, I did notice the drop in payments even on my 2 x 1080Ti setup, which is what got me checking into things. 

Note - as an aside, instead of flaming and disrespecting others - as miners, we really need to unite against the equihash asics.  ZEC MUST come up with an asic-resistant algo that puts the power in the people's hands who have ONE (or more) GPUs.  ASICS cost alot to build a mask, make wafers, process, test, and package - so I'd like nothing more than to make the equihash asic worthless overnight so as to discourage them from doing it again.  ASICS **WILL** push the difficulty up so far that us GPU folks will power off our rigs.  As ZEC miners, we support the "Team" who get those 2.5 ZEC per block to keep things working.  They need to do their 0xEF'ing job, and revamp ZEC so a cave in China isn't the 51% ownership point of ZEC mining.  I mean no disrespect to China, but I've worked in Shenzhen, Cupertino and Aguadia Puerto Rico, and I have seen first hand how China has a clear advantage, especially with ~free hydro power at their new 3 gorges dam.  Now I'll step off my soapbox and let you flame me if you wish.

El Quimeco

I have posted this before but I'm having ZERO issues on Linux (Ubuntu Server) with 0.6.1 on a eight GTX1070TI rig.  I don't understand why others are having issues.  I'm seeing the slight speed increase dstm said we would and have never had one single crash since I started using his miner back in December.

So I don't know what is up with other problems reported.  I agree with chaostic in that most of the issues are user error and not setting up the Linux environment correctly.  I've been using Linux since 1997 so perhaps that is why I don't have issues.

Learn something guy, I never said the payouts changed on Flypool, I did say however that it "will" take longer to get a payout, and that is a fact bud...It isnt my fault ya think ya know everything and were clueless on the biggest thing the zec name atm, the miner works great but on nix youll have lil issues due to things not being setup correctly (user error 90% of the time) If you cant be helpful then simply keep you're comments to yourself as every comment i've made was 100% factual and helpful.

The Payout is "NOT" the same and anyone saying so is a damn fool, and that's wrong to do as noobs will no doubt think things are the same, it's taking me much longer for payouts after going from difficulty of 1.95 to 11.7 and now that asics are on zec we'll no doubt encounter much more problems until we find another coin to goto that doesnt screw over GPU miners, the miner itself has no issues atm unless you have driver problems which *nix is going to be full of, no the miner hasnt upped anyones difficulty flypool has and it'll get much worse, would be nice to have a coin that is anti asic that doesnt screw us lil gpu miner guys over, but i guess that's a pipe dream at this rate, the fact is yes it will take longer to get a payout now as its added 20 hours on my payouts.

We didn't change anything for Equihash mining. Can you provide us your current setting so that we can give it a try?

Equihash speed is definitely lower on 8.0.0. (at least on console) compare to 7.0.0. Let's see pool hash rate in few hours.

But based on my experience and people's comments I didn't see people complaining that the drop of the equihash mining speed.
I think Bminer 8.0.0 works perfectly on my rig as all its previous versions.

For realbminer

As people has reported a drop in the hashrate for Equihash with version 8.0 could you please make available the previous versions so we can use the one that works better?

I have tried 8.0 and I get 3160 sols/s average with my 6 GTX 1070 Ti but can’t compare to previous versions if it is better or worse. I do can confirm the rejected shares rate has drop and the miner is more stable than before.

I think it will be nice it you could keep previous versions available to use so we can benefit from the one that works better for us, diferente OS, configs, etc

My minimum payout time increased from 30-31 hours to 41 hours, so its not exactly "completely normal"

Hi all,

Need help, last days my output seems very strange, the "+" that indicates one submitted share almost gone
please see my output, only two submitted shares from about 30 lines
Some suggestions?

i think bminer is way too late late to dual mining. enlargmentpill makes eth mining worthwhile for 1080x users, but throwing another algo in there is more electricity use for less eth. i woulidn't touch it, especially for the higher dev fee. stick with claymore and a dev fee remover for strictly ethereum mining if thats what you're after.

Do you use Gh/s or Mh/s? it seems that you may calculated by Gh/s so the profit looks pretty high.

I am using windows 10, and have 8 Gb of ram, and 64 gig swapfile (just in case).  Windows is updated as of March 1 2018 and so is the nvidia drivers around the same time.  There is no memory usage.  It launches the miner, and then immediately closes.  I've triple checked the bat file and verified it is the same one that I'm using on 3 other rigs with the exception of the rig name.  Sorry for the late reply, I've been away.

Batch file is as follows:

@echo OFF

REM Change the following address to your Zcash taddr.

SET ADDRESS=t1X8Ho1ZC7y6jxWb46n8ai9HHxfGedMu4fv

SET USERNAME=%ADDRESS%.1060x13



SET POOL=us1-zcash.flypool.org:3333

SET SCHEME=stratum

START "Bminer: When Crypto-mining Made Fast" bminer.exe -uri %SCHEME%://%USERNAME%@%POOL% -api 127.0.0.1:1880

EDIT:  Either version 8 fixes the problem, or I had a space after my zcash address and it was throwing a fit because of that.  I re-entered my address by hand instead of copying and it seems to be running.

Hi may I ask what does I/s stand for and what do the last three column readings mean? Mine are 7.31, 100, 36

I am new to dstm miner.

Thank you

Thanks for your feedback, but about the hashrate, we have a really detailed explanation of it on our website. you can visit by this link.

https://www.bminer.me/faq/#why-the-reported-hashrate-of-bminer-is-higher-than-the-reported-hashrate-from-mining-pools

Bminer reports hashrate generated by your hardware, while a mining pool estimates the hashrate based on the number of submitted shares.
