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

[Najszerszy]

I get quite a lot of: GPU1 rejected share:  [21,"job not found"]

Across all my rigs. Does anyone have the same issue?

Please add external log file which will contain info about sol/s each card. I need it to restart zm if found 0 sol/s

--log

Code:

:aProcessFound
@echo %EXE% is Running...
@echo %EXE% skipping Start...
set /a varSkip=%varSkip%+1

REM Check for : 0 Sol/s state
findstr /c:": 0 Sol/s" "%zmPATH%\zm.log"
if errorlevel 1 (
    echo 0 Sol/s state String NOT found...
) else (
    echo 0 Sol/s state String found
REM KILL Task zm.exe
set /a varForc=%varForc%+1
taskkill /f /im zm.exe
TIMEOUT /T 10
del "%zmPATH%\zm.log"
)

@goto aLoopEND

some good soul could tell me the command line to start the miner?
Win10 64bit.
I do not find any bat files

1060 3gb how much sol?

1060 3gb memory hynix:
dstm: +170 core, +500 memory - 320 Sol
EWBF: +170 core, +500 memory - 295 Sol

Example for Zen on suprnova

zm --server zen.suprnova.cc  --user username.worker --pass pass --port 3618 --telemetry 192.168.20.15:2222

The API should be --telemetry=0.0.0.0:2222 I think
In browser will be 192.168.20.15:2222

Hi, anyone was able to connect miner to nicehash?

[Andrey09]

Any chance to get auto updater tool for dtsm?

Tnx for your work.

When is a more stable version for win coming out ?

[dstm]

Hello Dev. Nice work, thanks. Can you add too the webinterface with stats which address (pool) is being used? I use a script that cycles through different pools in case one goes down.

This was already requested, will add.

[dstm]

got some errors on pool:  https://pool.miningspeed.com

GPU1 rejected share:  [20,"invalid solution 31"]
GPU3 rejected share:  [20,"invalid solution 30"]
GPU0 rejected share:  [20,"invalid solution 30"]
GPU3 rejected share:  [20,"invalid solution 30"]
GPU3 rejected share:  [20,"invalid solution 32"]

etc..

doesn't seem to be accepting any shares.

I'm able to reproduce this, seems currently the only pool that has issues, will check.

[dstm]

Well, here's my latest:

Running fine on 6x Gigabyte Windforce GTX 1070s, great hash rate and lower power draw than ewbf.
Great results on my desktop, which has 1x MSI Duke GTX 1070, maintaining 500 Sol/s without a hitch.

And then there's my rig of 7x Asus DUAL OC GTX 1070s which just doesn't seem to like this miner, strangely enough. I can run ewbf for days on end (I recently had it mining Zcash for over a week without any issue) but zm is completely unstable. Other than the graphics cards, it has identical hardware and software to the other rig with the Gigabyte cards, so I'm quite stumped. Sometimes it runs a few minutes and crashes, other times an hour or so - I did have one six-hour mining session where zm ran just fine before crashing. Today it's been really unstable, and I can't seem to get even 30 minutes. I've dialled overclocking way down, but still no luck, so I'm back to ewbf on that rig for now.

Maybe it is my NVIDIA drivers... which version GeForce drivers have you guys been getting stable results with this miner?

How does it crash? Does the system freeze?                                                                                     
Is anybody else having stability issues?

[dstm]

I get quite a lot of: GPU1 rejected share:  [21,"job not found"]

Across all my rigs. Does anyone have the same issue?

This happens if the pool submits new jobs frequently. I'm preparing work for each GPU in advance for performance reasons, so if the pool submits a new job it might happen that one of the GPUs solves a stale job. What pool was this on?

[dstm]

This was requested already and it's on my todo list, there was no time for it, so I'll add this in one of the future versions.

Thank you for the fast reply!

It was on suprnova (btcz.suprnova.cc)

It's working for me, do you have issues connecting to nicehash?

[dstm]

Tnx for your work.

This requires a lot of infrastructure, a server that provides updates, zm would have to connect to this server etc. I don't think it's worth.

Hey guys , first review and problems:

First of all miner is better and more effective by 2-3 % than EWBF. I've been running it on several machines , got improved hashrate  (GTX 1060  3gb from 280 ~ to 300 ~ , GTX 1070 from 470 to 490 , GTX 1080 from 540 to 550 , gtx 1080 ti from 720 - 740  , all vary bettwen + - 1-5 sol/s)
Machines are working fine with ETHcontrol , or anykind that has some watchdog that either restarts miner or knows what to do. But so far they are running stable.


Problem :

I got one rig with 7 cards and it seems that it cannot work good with dstm miner. It has 5x 1070 , 2x 1060 3g


First of all , to run it properly I had to lower power limit ALOT on all cards

Standart settings at afterburner:  80 pl / +150 core / +540 memory  -----------> at this point miner and Ethcontrol comes in some loop that whenever miner is started it's always killed and restarted , because it hangs out too much time or shows 0 sol/s for cards (e.g. miner takes a lot of time to start and doesnt start at all)

Settings to start: 65 pl / +150 core / + 540 memory -----------> miner starts but this is what happens , after "1round of hashing good" it starts hashing super pooorly. I dont know what should be the case , all my rigs are identical , just this is the only one with more than 6 cards. All have same windows / drivers etc etc etc . CPU seems to be stuck at 100% at rig 1 though when I run ZM miner , probably some problems with more than 6 cards rig on win 10 ?




edit: I've tried a lot of different settings but in vain. Problems seems to be that  POWER for cards makes crazy jumps (35-80 % PL for example) . Only time it worked fine for arround 5 mins , was because power limit somehow settled down at exactly 80 % (what was set) and it was running okey. Making any changes to OC settings results in various jumps in power and thus cards start to hashing super poorly. This is the only thing i've discovered.

Okay, it's working now like a charm :-D

Thx for the report, this is very helpful.

I'm currently heavier on CPU load.
It looks like your CPU is to slow to provide enough work for the GPUs. CPU load increases with the total solution rate of your system - so this is most likely why your 7card rig is having troubles since it requires more cpu time. What CPU are you on?
