[BTC22]

Is it EWBF?

[fanatic26]

No it is not.

No it is not.

Ok...what it is? That was my question.

Your question was specifically "is it EWBF?" and I answered. If you are asking for better alternatives try DSTM or bminer.

Bminer seems to be the popular choice these days.

Im confused. Is Bminer just for AMD?

[xlm19877]

if you use GTX cards ..try to use  EWBF

if you use AMD ... the best is claymore zcach miner

Since he asked about EWBF which is nvidia only, I assumed he meant nvidia. bminer is nvidia based.

DSTM has been the best in my testing (Nvidia GPUs of course). Claymore's is best for AMD.

Zawawa was working on a new/improved kernel for Equihash in his GatelessGate mining software, but I don't think it's released to the public yet. With the Equihash asics coming this summer there isn't as much incentive for developers to work on that algorithm now.

Been really happy using dstm for nvidia GPU's.

It is impossible to say exactly which miner is better. I use NVIDIA's CUDA EWBF'zcash for miner Version 0.3.4 b

Dstm miner zm 0.6.1 is what you are looking for for equihash algo. As for bminer, i`ve heard stories of it doing some unsavoury things in the past, something with keeping an open port or something. I can`t tell if that had changed tho, or is it completely safe to use, since i`ve never used it myself, been more than happy with dstm.

dstm... submits more valid shares in the long run
