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

[car1999]

I run the latest version several minutes on GTX 1080ti, cannot say any hashrate improvement from EWBF_'s.

I run the latest version several minutes on GTX 1080ti, cannot say any hashrate improvement from EWBF_'s.

It performs slightly faster on my systmes, however there might be differences on other setups. Could you please provide some numbers how it compares on your system, it would be very helpful.

almost the same hashrate, if you can decrease dev fee to 1%, I'd like to use yours

How about improving the performance? I have some new ideas, however I don't have access to testing hardware this week, so I'll see how they perform next week.                                                                                               
                                                                                                                               
I was thinking about reducing the dev fee for people that are helping development, providing feedback etc. - still not sure about it.

Looks promising, waiting for windows version, gj dude!

2492 Sol/s vs 2508.5    .. hahah  . is no difference )   dstm's ZCash Cuda miner   is the fastest zcash miner!

waiting windows verson, and fee 1% (today 2%)

That is just 1% difference. So it is comparable.

[NameTaken]

Since I've read it multiple time now.... There seems to be a confusion with terms here. Some people are speaking about 'hashrate'. In the case of equihash - we are solving the generalized birthday problem, and produce solutions to it. So it's more accurate to speak about the solutionrate, we are not producing any hashes, this is why it's abbreviated as 'Sol/s' int the output. In case it's interesting for someone

I know the technical term is solutions but the difference does not matter for all intents and purposes to the miner and hashrate has become a generalized term for measurement regardless of algorithmic differences.

You can't conclude that from these numbers. The solution rate is subjected to probability, it's inherent to equihash. You have to compare a lot more number and average them to have a more robust statement, this is why I'm computing an average in my output, so you can make better judgements how e.g. over/underclocking on your system affects the performance.

i can give you the ip address and password of my rig to test if you need, 3 1080ti and 1 1080.

Thx for the help, however all I need is an ssh terminal. I don't think it's worth the time to setup a new dev-environment. I want to finish some small things on the cpu-side this week, like temperature reporting, a temperature-controller, logfiles, some tesing with different pools.

1080 - usually gives 550-570
1080 - 730+
Even 1070 makes 460-470 Sol/s

You can connect to my rig via ssh.
I think the most important thing is hashrate, if you have ideas to improve hashrate, try them at first.

Take a look at the numbers more carefully. The GPUs are not setup for max performance on this system.

I'm preparing for the next update. I've implemented a temperature controller, it's a pid-controller and adjusts pretty well. People who asked for it, how do you use it? I don't want to add unnecessary configuration complexity so - do you want to be able to set the temperaturelimit for each GPU separately? Or do u usually set one global temperature limit that's is used for all GPUs?

Global temp limit is fine I think
