EWBF's CUDA Zcash miner

[EWBF_]

i don't try other miners yet. now AVG 250(((

Hello! Which version of miner do you use. and if it last version which version of solver?

[thephill97]

coinmine and suprnova are fine.

I have never believed the story that ewbf has copied someone or other miners, I'm sure that if he wants he can improve his miner without help from others.

I don't think anything will ever be proven, but correlations and inferences are your friend bro. EWBFs speed increases closely matched EQM to the T and now that EQM doesn't exist anymore there aren't any more speed increases, which is super suspicious. The last speed upgrade was right on par with the small speed upgrade EQM left before going open source. EWBF has offered no speed increases over EQM... ever, besides mining outside their service. The one time EWBF released first EQM was offering preview versions to their clients and I'm sure it got leaked as it was the same speed increase EQM offered a couple days later.

This isn't uncommon outside of cryptos or from the chinese who are great at ripping things off, you can believe what you want as always though.

I respect any opinion.
But, my first version was faster than their. then i start improve platform (miner code not solver). After a couple of day they make his miner faster, of cource i stop my work and start solver optimization to achieve more speed. And then this simply start to be a race, untill they not "finish" this race. Now we are close to hardware limits, here each a little step is incredibly complicated. Technically ~10% of improvements is still possibly, but algorithm not allow make this. This "hardware limits" is a memory speed and latency and at this moment they not allow gain more speed. Of course, the full story longer, but I hope that I have replied to this accusation.
Thank you for attention

Only version that was faster was .3b and that lasted a couple days before being replaced. As I mentioned, when they released it they had a pre-release version they were distributing to their VIPs I'm sure got leaked (I found a leaked copy so it wasn't that hard). EQM definitely released before EWBF with their first versions back in Nov.

Yup I understand you have to do rewrites time and again as you can't keep optimizing. It's definitely too much of a coincidence that your rewrites and speed increases closely matched theirs down to a couple %.

As far as speed increases go... pretty sure everyone would rather have more speed over features to further separate ourselves from AMD. You as a developer also make more the more speed we have.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, I have always respected that.  It does seem though that this is just an attack by 1 on another when no evidence is presented or the other side is making a claim.  I think it should be dropped here.  People benefit from speeds, he may charge a dev fee and we all have that right to use it or not.  If someone creates something and wants to own it, they should create it in the right way that it cant be taken (not making any accusations here).

I don't really expect much from the average miner, you're no exception. 3/4 of what you said doesn't even make sense nor has any relation to what we were talking

It's actually pretty simple, most 8th graders could understand that you are making accusations and your story behind it.  If you didn't have a concern for us "average miners" then why did you post it on here, pretty childish.  No need to troll, if you have a legal concern do something legal about it.

It has nothing to do with legality, everything to do with reputation. People will continue using EWBFs miner and side with whoever gives them the most money, regardless of evidence. Even if the code was copied verbatim, it wouldn't matter to most people. However people should know when something is copied.

If you've been around the forums you should get the drift that copying other peoples work is frowned upon... Nothing childish about pointing out when someone copies someone elses work, especially when someone else dumps a lot of time, money, and effort into what they create. You're a dumbass.

"...and your story behind it."

Yup struggle to make a point. Next time at least make the effort to finish your line of thought before hitting period. If you think I randomly made up EWBFs and EQMs release dates in addition to improvements in their miners, you can easily check both threads. It's so easy even a 8th grader could understand it... hue hue hue. -_-

i don't try other miners yet. now AVG 250(((

Hello! Which version of miner do you use. and if it last version which version of solver?

use 0.2.0b miner

use 0.2.0b miner

Try options --solver 0, --solver 1 or --solver 2

hi! I have 1060. I have 225 Sol / 265 in boost. what could be wrong?

How much do you get from your 1060 with other miners?

I've already posted this before, but on average you should see 285-295 sol/sec @ 90W.

Settings:

• Power Limit: 75
• Core: +185
• Memory: + 550

look! 1060 base frequency is 1500 MHz, but under heavy load, the graphics card itself changes the frequency at 1860 (boost). +175 MHz should be beyond 1860?

solver 0 best - 225 sol/s
solver 1 - 210 sol/s
solver 2 - 200 sol/s

Have you upgraded to windows 10 anniversary edition?  I was not getting the speeds others were out of my 1060 and 1070, after upgrading to anniversary edition I was on par with everyone else.

This miner is the one working best for me, giving me more sol/s than NiceHash, about 5-7 more. It gives me 68-73 Sol/s while Nicehash gives me 61-66 sol/s. The OP has really done a good job.

I am talking about my Gtx 750 ti stock settings. I am using coinmine.pl as a pool to mine, if anyone is interested to know such details. Let's help each other and share our settings here.

I am also thinking to upgrade to a R9 390 or RX 470-RX480 so does anyone know which of these three cards has the highest hashrate ?

Highest hash rate would be the most recent one.
That was an easy one.

today update for win10 and now i have 250 sol/s instead 265 for win 7(((

[dtawom]

For anybody having random crash problems with "Thread exited with code: 46, Thread exited with code: 77, and Thread exited with code 30 errors" this tip from EWBF has indirectly solved my problem.  Add "--eexit 1" to your miner command switches and edit your existing batch file to make them a simple restart script as exampled below.  If the miner crashes it will shut down forcing it to go back to the beginning of the batch and restart the miner.

Thanks EWBF!

:restart
miner --server us1-zcash.flypool.org --port 3333 --user address.phoop --eexit 1 --pass x --cuda_devices 0
goto :restart

Upgrade to windows 10 anniversary edition.

Anyone experienced this on Flypool?
Even though my Claymore rig was not mining for over an hour,
it indicates that I still have 1 rig mining.
Note that the other rig has no activity reported for the same lap of time.

Greetings,

I'm new to mining. I'm having a problem with the miner (tried both 0.1.0b and 0.2.0b). I'm on Win 10 Pro Anniversary Update (1607) and using Palit GTX1070 Jetstream on stock and could only get max ~390 Sol/s.
I use default setting: miner --server zec-apac.suprnova.cc --user xxx --pass xxx --port 2142 --cuda_devices 0
I tried several drivers: 372.90, 375.63, 376.33, and 378.49. They gave me the same results.
Is this common or is there any workaround?
