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

[hav]

Has DSTM gotten bored with this project? He was super interactive and involved early in the thread, but his postrate has dropped significantly.

Holiday vacation, perhaps?

with the 2% non-disableable dev fee, he's probably at the Lambo dealer right now, picking the right colors to so that last months Labo's match next month's delivery.

hey guys, seems like some sols/s dropped, on some cards, when I connect to my rig via Chrome Remote Desktop so, any suggest to not losing hashrate when I'm checking? or it's normal

Nah... He just made this available last July. Not enough time yet to ramp up that much. Next Christmas he'll get a new Lexus or BMW, then a year or two after that will come the Lambo.

Short status update:

I'm currently working on 0.6. It will contain most notable failover pool support. I had much less time than expected for it last week, I'm expecting to release 0.6 during the next 1-2 weeks. I'll go trough/answer all your new requests/questions in the next 1-2 days, sorry for the slight delay.

 Turn off hardware acceleration in Chrome.

Hello, I just want to ask. Can I set dstm's miner to mine on NanoPool? If so how .bat file should look like?

yes, just change the server from bat 

can you show me an example?

[Atronoss]

Found the probable reason this has lower scores than the EWBF miner. Turns out it does not trigger 3D mode on your card, which disables OC and Boost.
You can replicate that by running Media Player Classic in Enhanced Video Renderer mode and even minimizing the paused video.
I got between 30 and 50 extra Sol/s

Yeah, that's why I have to run Chrome to get maximum speed. It somehow triggers 3D mode, which triggers nVidia Boost mode and apply all additional overclockings. Before I thought it is problem of my card or Gainward ExpertTool software, but today I installed new PC with my new EVGA GTX 1070 Ti, fresh Windows 10, latest drivers, latest DSTM, MSI Afterburner used for overclocking and yet even here I have to run Chrome to get maximum speed. Without Chrome I'm getting 450 Sol/s, with Chrome running, I can get up to 540 Sol/s (card is overclocked of course).

Miner works great!  One question, is it possible to append worker id's or email addresses to the ZEC address.  For example, on nanopool I like to track each individual worker and using an email I can track when my miner goes offline.  Here is an example of how other miners do this

walletaddress.workername/emailaddress

Thanks!

 Nah, that was Claymore a year or two back.

 This year I think he was shopping for a Malibu beach-front home - or was it Santa Fe Springs?

 You can append a worker address, by going walletaddress.workername as usual.

 I can't speak to appending an email address as I've never worked with a pool that wants that.


 You've got something WIERD going on if you have to run Chrome to get max hashrate - perhaps you don't have Afterburner set to run at startup, or something else is interfering?

Yeah, I don't get that at all. As soon as I apply the overclock settings in Afterburner, I see the increase Sol/s in the miner. No need to run anything else.

IDK what your on about, just did a performance test with a 3d app, (put everything on lowest settings) and i dropped 80 sols. To me it looks like it is already using 3d capabilities.

[pixel8or]

The lack of market support is the reason I'm not bothering with ZEN, even though I get higher share rates in the miner and What to Mine shows it being a little more profitable than ZEC.

*quoting self*

So, I looked into it some more and decided to take the plunge and registered at Cryptopia to be able to trade ZEN (being so new I'm still very apprehensive about some of these exchanges).

Definitely get higher share rates with ZEN/Supernova vs. ZEC/flypool. Don't know if that's just the difference in difficulty or the pool itself, but it looks to be a little more profitable even on my entry level 1050 Ti x2 "rig."

Still seeing Sol/W: 0.00, though... just to remind you, dstm, if you're looking into that.

Thanks for the update!  Works great here.  48hr and still going.

...edit.. Information update,. not an actual update.. yet.  Current version still running great.

I'd like an automatic memory management so it doesn't crash when getting too hot.

I admit it is weird, but two computers, different Windows version, different cads, different tools to OC (both apply settings at startup). Only same is DSTM and latest nVidia drivers.

And obviously this guy has same problem:

We both just need something that triggers 3D mode, DSTM miner just can't do it itself. Without 3D mode, no Boost, thus no OC of the core (other things works).

Maybe it is the latest driver problem...?

ppl I got 5 GTX 1070 cards, look at img, GPU0 and GPU2 are the same brand/model but getting diff sols/s, even GPU0 with lower core clock +110 give me more sols than GPU2 +150 both same memoryF and same TDP 65%, any ideas? thx in advance

PD: GPU0 at +150 was crashing.

Do you have a monitor attached to GPU2? You'll generally see lower hash rates on GPUs with monitors attached (or using team-viewer etc). If you leave it a while to idle you'll probably see it pick up pace.

nope there is not any display connected, so the low sols on THAT card is always, even there is a general drop when I connected via RD I know and is fine cuz i just  connect 2 orr 3 times per day checking temp but the thing is that I always had lower sols only that card :/ I tested everything but I don't wanna be stopping the rig a lot b'cuz at least I got a global of 2200 sols/s on this DSTM miner that i think is the fastest I could find (apologize 4 my bad english is not my native language as u can see).

I did a lot of research trying config solutions(software) thats why I ask here but I think I'll need to do some hardware tests may be another riser or so, I'll being updating if I can find a sol thx.

Does it happen if you just swap cards, is it always GPU2 or lower hash rate travels accordingly to changing position of that card?

Did you checked, that OC is really applied? Does really core of the card running on wanted frequency with that power limit?

And you can always try running Chrome (just kidding, but it helps me!)
