Well, there are few ready for BTG:

and a possible opportunity for dstm too:

We are waiting for a new version of the program for these new Algorithms.
Do you know when there will be new versions?

The '--intensity' flag is not working,GPU load is not reduced,and with 0.5 intensity,the drawed power is increased surprisingly

#  dstm's ZCash Cuda miner 
#################################################

I've written it initially for my own purpose. It performs pretty well - so here it is.
Compatible with devices having Compute Capability 5.0 and greater i.e. it should run fine on Maxwell/Pascal GPUs.
Supports every server using the stratum protocol. If you have issues with certain pools pls. report them here.
Contains 2% devfee.
Suggestions are welcome.

Features:
To get help just start zm without any arguments

Code:

$ ./zm
ZM 0.6.1, dstm's ZCASH/Equihash Cuda Miner

Usage:
 zm --server hostname --port port_nr --user user_name
    [--pass password] [options]...

 zm --cfg-file[=path]

 Stratum:
    --server         Stratum server hostname
                     prefix hostname with 'ssl://' for encrypted
                     connections - e.g. ssl://mypool.com
    --port           Stratum server port number
    --user           Username
    --pass           Worker password

 Options:
    --help           Print this help
    --list-devices   List available cuda devices

    --dev            Space separated list of cuda devices to use.
                     If this option is not given all available devices
                     are used.

    --time           Enable output of timestamps
    --color          colorize the output

    --logfile        [=path] Append logs to the file named by 'path'
                     If 'path' is not given append to 'zm.log' in
                     current working directory.
    --noreconnect    Disable automatic reconnection on network errors.

    --temp-target    =dev_id:temp-target[,dev_id:temp-target] ...
                     In C - If set, enables temperature controller.
                     The workload of each GPU will be continuously
                     adjusted such that the temperature stays around
                     this value. It is recommended to set your fan speed
                     to a constant value when using this setting.
                     Example: --temp-target=0:65,2:70

    --intensity      =dev_id:intensity[,dev_id:intensity] ...
                     Reduce the load which is put on the GPU - valid
                     intensity range ]1.0-0.0[.
                     Example: --intensity=0:0.893,2:0.8

    --telemetry      [=ip:port]. Starts telemetry server. Telemetry data
                     can be accessed using a web browser(http) or by json-rpc.
                     If no arguments are given the server listens on
                     127.0.0.1:2222 - Example: --telemetry=0.0.0.0:2222
                     Valid port range [1025-65535]

    --cfg-file       [=path] Use configuration file. All additional command
                     line options are ignored - configuration is done only
                     through configuration file. If 'path' is not given
                     use 'zm.cfg' in current working directory.

    --pool           =hostname,port_nr,user_name[,pass]
                     Setup additional failover pools.

 Example:
    zm --server servername.com --port 1234 --user username

BIG THANKS TO SWISSTRADER for providing access to hardware.

Are you mining the original Equihash coins (200,9) zcash, zen ect or the recently forked Equihash coins (144,5) snowgem, bitcoin gold etc?  DTSM does not have a miner for the forked coins.  You will have to look back to EWBF for that.

DTSM is really nice miner, would be nice if new version will work with forks.

ANON fork soon. I need this algorithm for mining.

I think he has abandonded the project... last post from DSTM was on the 30th of May.

So wouldn´t expect much
