[ANN] dstm's ZCash / Equihash Nvidia Miner v0.6.2 (Linux / Windows)

[marco.ruiz]

Maybe there is an issue with dtsm and the zpool stratum ? also what cmdline do you use to start it ?

Have tried using zm.exe --server equihash.mine.zpool.ca  --port 2142 --user 17g2APRaoDz17mM4Vw9R1hSR6juVnKXGrk --pass x --telemetry 127.0.0.1:2222 --time

and zm --server equihash.mine.zpool.ca  --port 2142 --user 17g2APRaoDz17mM4Vw9R1hSR6juVnKXGrk --pass x --telemetry 127.0.0.1:2222 --time

Both were the same, didn't returned any shares.

Code:

--telemetry 0.0.0.0:2222

You're missing the equal sign and as toptek said, use 0.0.0.0 to bind all interfaces.

Code:

--telemetry=0.0.0.0:2222

Okay thanks, do you know of a software that might work?

I've heard the Volta V100 can get 90MH/s at Ethereum so maybe try ethminer or Claymore’s miner.

Yeah the same way we were told Vega can do 70 mh/s

It's already out and costs $10000. The specs seems like it could be possible with 5376 CUDA cores and 900 GB/s memory bandwidth.

[noviceminer]

Its not $10k but $2999 costly but some companies use it internally for work and it is working like nothing else on the market. Miners need to be update for this card though some would work but wont give out 100% out of the card. Just my 2 cents.

Hey guys, I cannot get this thing to load for the life of me. I shut down defender, downloaded and opened it, no luck. I tried it on the stock start.bat file and still no luck. The cmd prompt opens for a few seconds and closes when I double click start, double clicking zm opens for a split second... Any suggestions?

[stash2coin]

Open the bat file using the command prompt you will see what the problem is.

What type of card are you using for this ?

Open the bat file using the command prompt you will see what the problem is.

Or you can add

pause

As the last string of cmd/bat

This is how an average value works mathematically, it doesn't detect something there is also no way to speed up it, since it wouldn't be an average anymore.

I know, but as I've shown on my gif the average looks a bit strange in my case because it's increasing and increasing for many hours until it will achieve it's operating point. In my opinion taking into consideration latest 100-200 records (circular buffer) should be fine.

The average has manly two purposes, it's useful for people who are running their systems for long periods: the performance may vary during this time because of thermal conditions or CPU-load caused by other processes - so an overall average is very useul. It also there to be able to check the solution rate reported by the pool.

The pools gives me fake solution rate. Flypool gets between 450-600 and makes a trend line which is very similar to solutions rate reported by miner, while suprnova (at which I'm mining currently) gives me rstrange values. from 400, to 700... And charts doesn't work properly.

That's exactly the reason why zm outputs an average. It allows you to check whether the pool reports proper values more accurately.
Shares are probabilistic, that's why the estimated current solution rate is 'jumping' on the pool side.

[dstm]

Hello. I am using dstm's ZCash Cuda miner for about a month.

Some statistics from log files:

Case 1 - two 1080ti

Code:

"+" 153367 ( 96.80% )
"*"   5078 (  3.20% )

   
Case 2 - two 1050ti and 1070

Code:

"+" 91704 ( 96.90% )
"*"  2931 (  3.10% )

The question is why is it so?

The amount of found shares depends on the difficulty - so you can't compare it this way in general - It's ofc natural for you to check this kind of things, however - this is important to me, all values reported by zm are exact.

[dstm]

Hi DSTM I have another suggestion, would it be possible to have an 'intensity' setting similar to the EWBF one.

I sometimes need to use my GPU while still mining and using 'intensity 7' in EWBF worked great.

Not a massive issue but would be nice to have.

Thanks

Hi guys can anyone tell me how can i monitor dstm console in realtime i have set telemetry but it does not show console i'm
use simplemining and i want to have secondery method of monitoring the console

Use the --Logfile feature, then just read the logfile

This was requested several times, I'll include it in one of the future versions.

I am seeing about 5 out of every 1200 shares rejected "Stale job" error.

Using dstm w/flypool.  Is there something wrong with my system or is this sort of thing normal behavior?  [21, "Stale job!"] is the only type of rejected share I normally see and the miner doesn't crash it just keeps going.

That's normal, and results from the fact that zm prepares work for the GPUs for performance reasons in advance.

Volta V100 is $10000. Titan V is $3000.

Been trying out the program. I'm not sure why but my shares are not submitting correctly...

Can anyone help me on this? I'm really lost.

PS: Ignore the sol/s values, I was doing something else and it lagged the mining process.

The server sets a pretty high difficulty so it will take some time (on average) to find a share especially with the low solution rate you have.
