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

Random answer for you: suprnova.cc and zclmine.pro both have ZCL pools.  Bittrex has ZCL wallets.

I did notice something strange when just looking at the suprnova website using my laptop macbook pro with firefox:
for some reason after a few minutes my cpu usage goes crazy, fan starts blowing like its overheating etc.
I did look at the process table with top but cant find anything... this only happens on suprnova website, no others.
Is there some sort of hidden cpu miner in there ??

Just suprnova.cc website itself, or some specific pool? Not sure about hidden miner, but the front end of suprnova pools (at least ZEC and HUSH) is based on some fancy MPOS thing, that is nice, but... if I leave it open on hidden tab for some time, then click the tab back, the graphs trying to show many things and screen starts lagging a bit for a while. Also my phone (Android) had hard times to render the screen if the tab was opened for longer time.

the dashboard on zen.suprnova.cc.
When just started all graphs are emtpy but after a few minutes when everything is populated it starts doing that.. very annoying...

Anyway to have it autorestart after a crash or a script to make it restart every X amount of hours? Tried to modify my CCminer script to get it to work with DTSM but no luck.

Thx, for providing this data.                                                                                                  
You have a lot 'nvidia-settings' processes running in your 'After top' output. This could be the reason for the performance drop.

Just to add my voice to this list, I'm also an SMOS user experiencing the same issue.  HOWEVER, it's only on my 13 card 1070 rigs (H110).  I have a 6 card 1060 rig (Z270-A) that has been running for days with no drop in performance, also on SMOS.

Thanks for being responsive!

UPDATE:  For me, the problem seems to have gone away with v0.5.7.  24 hours solid now with no performance dropoff.  Added 2 more 13 card rigs about 8 hours ago and all seems solid.

Is there anyway to set what gpu's you want the miner to use ?

Not sure if this is what you want, but for DSTM after exiting due to for example "gpu 0 unresponsive - check overclocking", to restart it with 60 seconds cooldown I use this simple bat file:

Code:

:mine
timeout 60
cd dstm
zm --server ssl://eu1-zcash.flypool.org --port 3443 --user t1N1eJnRtQuyai6ewvQsaJe3ACWAvHykqhu --time
cd..
echo DSTM MINER RESTARTED AT %TIME% %DATE% >> dstm_log.txt
goto mine

It also create dstm_log.txt file where you have time and date when restart occurred (but without why, that you have to find in main window).

Oh BTW I have miner in folder dstm and bat file is one level up.

Any advice on which pol to mine ZCL and which exchange is good for it?
thx

But really, you can find this stuff yourself!

I asked as I am seeking advice that's better than 'go find out for yourself'.

I didn't join the forum to be offered 'random' answers.

Except that's not the topic here...
So if you don't want a 'random' answer, don't ask on a 'random' thread.

Yes, you can see quite a lot of * compared to +, but that doesn't mean much, since we don't know how big is your difficulty and with what difficulty dstm dev mining, since it is mining on Flypool and he could adjust that to some lower difficulty.

The best way to check is to compare your Sol/s in dstm over what your pool is showing when you leave it running for 24h.

In my case it was DSTM miner 345 Sol/s, Flypool arround 337 Sol/s, on GTX 1060 6GB.

[Biggen1]

Keep up the good work dstm.  Eight 1070Ti rig running Ubuntu is rock solid.  400 Sol/s each card with no problem.  It's truly a fire and forget weapon.

[markymondie]

can someone explain to me the new version changelog.

that protocol thing.

400 Sols/s seem kinda low for a 1070TI. I even got 445 Sols/s out of my 1070's with 65% TDP. What are your OC settings?

You've got something wrong here.

I'm running 6x 1070Tis and each push 500-520 sol/s at 70% TDP.

[Biggen1]

Whoops.  Yeah, I meant 500 Sol/s.

There ya go. These things are beasts. I love them.

Low wattage, low noise, low heat, high hash.

[Atronoss]

Had a question about this log.  My logs look very similar also on 1070ti.   I seen other peoples logs where they have a much higher share per minute and a lot more + signs at the end of their logs.   Just was wondering if there is something wrong here or if thats normal.

It depends on difficulty set by your mining pool, sometimes difficulty vary, sometimes it is fixed and very high like on Flypool, but you can adjust difficulty there by yourself. In the end though it should not have significant impact on your mining, you submit less shares, but with higher value or just other way around.
