EWBF's CUDA Zcash miner

[EWBF_]

[WARNING]

EWBF is fake. He is using our EQM to make 2% fee on it.
He is always one step behind as you may noticed.

It is sad, because we have paid big bucks for the EQM's source, just to protect our miners from the dev fee. And here we go again, a dev fee. He is not a Robin Hood, he is practically leasing our miner for a 2% dev fee! Is this something you support? I would understand he would stole it and release the source, but no. He is egoistic like that.

Actions like this are delaying our miner development and its quality.

STOP using his software or ask him to release HIS source first.

Wow!
Nice to meet you!
The modest results of profiling ...
We are both use tromp solver https://github.com/tromp/equihash

Ps: of course if you release you miner open source, i will lost a lot of my users. But whole community must be grateful to me because my actions lead to this decision Happy new year!

Looks comprehensively different on these stats.

What is going to happen with this open sourcing, is future development work is going to end , because coders aren't making a personal profit from their releases and better mining software will go underground for private sales again, which is going to same crap that everyone had to put up with from the bad old days.

Or you could Nicehash, actually release your source and make it public to mine on ANY pool not just yours, i am sure you are making enough on the fees your charging and waiting a month to pay your miners to cover whatever you paid for the original miner code.

We will release the source, you don't have to worry about that.

Ya i kinda jumped the gun on that one Good

Of course EQM for Linux is coming.
I don't have ETA, because holidays.

I would have continued to use the NiceHash miner since it was always a step ahead of other miners and that equalized the returns from NiceHash.


I use Linux so unfortunately many of us had no other choice but to move to options that support us(Linux).


Loyalty works both ways

Trying linux version, 0.0.6b and 0.0.8b with 750ti.  I also see "ERROR: Cannot run workers."

Is there any solution for this?

gtx970 --> same result
0.0.5b --> same result

Any debug flags available to help figure out what's going on?  Else it's just a guessing game.

Posting this only proves that you know the necessary tools and how to use them to successfully analyse our miner.
So you copied the idea behind the algorithm for your own benefits. Not nice at all as we bought the miner and the idea from DjeZo.

Seriously you blame him for being able to analyze software and that he has the knowledge to do so?
This is his task if he also writes a miner or what ever software its a basic of software development - to say he stole you code is lame in this point.

I see a smelly intention here of nicehash.. stop accusing without proof.

No comment for the rest of the discussion, but strictly from a developer's point of view I give 10+ to EWBF no matter if he coded/improved or only analyzed/disassembled EQM code.
That only proves he's a competent developer and his 2% is well deserved IMHO.

Cheers mates!

Indeed, now they are moving into "he stole our idea". Oh ok, where is your intellectual property rights, patents and other protections? Can be open source and still have those (un)rights - see MPEG Layer 3.

nicehash miner doesnt work on linux, it gives me 299Sol/s on stock ASUS Strix 1070, this miner gives me 360Sol/s.

Claymore did the same thing and got crucified for this. EWBF shouldn't be let off the hook because Nicehash is a legitimate business.

I agree, but how can it be proved that he supposedly analysed how their miner worked ? from the look of things his solvers seems to be rather different than NH's ones, and for now overall he seemed to have done a better job too, didn't he just analyzed the algo and made his own solvers being inspired too by what ressources were available around as open source ? (tromps and such). Dunno what to think about all this, but the accusations seems a bit too feeble to me. It would be the same if a car maker would accuse any others to make cars... the base principles are all the sames, but the making isn't... can you really crucify someone with this much information ?

[suggsy89]

NiceHash are pissed off hahaha

[tkredmond]

i tried it with 750ti on flypool. Got 140 sol/s but after 6 hours flypool showed the hashrate but zero valid shares. Am not sure why. Anybody else got the same issue?

750ti is 75 sol/s with this miner, you're doing something wrong.

There is no proof yet man ..there is just blaming that he coded something and able to use the tools he should be able to use as developer.
It would be like blaming humans for breathing while alive.

omg

[lucasan123]

Ewbf two hours mining = 50 cent
nicehash 4 hours mining = 50 cent

Yeah! ewbf keep on developing this miner so you can show you are right

elsewhere you are the robin hood!

[vv181]

gtx 750 1gb OC'ed

0.06b = 66-72 sol
0.08b = 58-62 sol 

hope u can improve old cards on next version

[Viperho]

yes, .06b still best for my ancient fermi cards.
