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

[thesaltonsea]

Hi,

we have problem with 0.5.3 , when second instance is started , it is crashing. On 0.5.2 it is OK with 2 instances. Its on Win10 , 2 cards are mining on one address and 2 are mining on second addess so thats why we need 2 instances to be running at once

anyone eant to share good settings for 1060?
at 80% power target its stable with much lower clock than usually used for ethereum, eg i can mine 24/7 with +500mem, but I have to go +300 to be stable with this miner

Getting API dll error on startup in windows for all my rigs. Any fix for this?

[ivlog]

If you get crashes check CPU usage by other apps.
I have up to 100% CPU usage by my wallet while it synchronise. Seems it crashes miner...

dstm, add plz prerequisites on first topic

Great miner, thank you for your job.

The only problem have with API is that it does not have fan speeds listed, only temp.

Would be great to add fans % speed to stats.

And I have added this miner to Hive OS Linux distribution https://hiveos.farm so that users will have it right our of the box.

Thank you.

Performance went down for my 1080ti comparing latest 0.5.3 with 0.5.2. switching back to the old version. (windows).

Hi dstm, great miner. Tested for a short period of about an hour and already shows increase of about 5% on my 1070s compared to ewbf.

There's a problem with --dev option, I tried to set it such that it turns off the main GPU so I can use it for gaming. But the miner just crashes. Command I used was --dev 1 2 3

Thanks and Regards.

Thx.

I've already fixed this in the development branch. Device selection will work properly in the next release. Pls use 0.5.2 meanwhile.

My current setting for Galax 1060 6G: 80% power limit, + 150 core, +100 mem, hashrate is very stable at 298 sol/s.

New Version 0.5.3
cpu: reduce cpu load
con: fix recon loop
con: network latency measurement
ui:  add accepted/rejected shares ratio
ui:  add network latency
ui:  add information about selected devices

I'm uploading this one earlier than planned since it contains two major improvements - slightly reduced cpu load and a fix for recon - thus it doesn't contain everything you requested/suggested yet.

I've added new stats to the terminal ui. There is more information for share transmission now - it looks now like this:

Code:

Sh: <shares per minute> <ratio accepted/rejected shares> <network latency in ms>

Can it connect to miningspeed.com now?

Hi dstm, great miner. You could not fix the sol /s indicator in the webui version in the next version of the miner? The matter is that the average indicator is shown and not real. sorry for my bad English

[Coin++]

Can we fix the difficulty in the miner with an option for the command line ?
Can we fix the difficulty for each devices ?
Because the difficulty change very ofen and sometime it very high and I have no share during a long time...

WOW! What's that?! a Titan XP?

[Andrey09]

On version 0.5.3 (windows) decreased performance on gtx 1080.

[Freelancer76]

Really good miner, good job mate, gets me around 2% increase from EWBF miner when mining HUSH with nvidia 1070.

[Supercoiner111]

Great improvement over EWBF of 5% across all my 6 x 1070 however dstm crashes every few moments as the .bat is on loop the miner restarts.

I find it strange why it crashes as with EWBF it is running for well over a month without issues?

MSI 1080Ti Sea Hawk EK cards.  The above figures were a surprising run with power level at 95% in Afterburner on all 4 cards.  It was a one time "hero run" I think as I was never able to replicate those number.  I've settled for running at 78% PL with core at +155 and memory at +600, which is giving me the following:



Which is more inline with what my air cooled 1080Ti rigs are giving me.  It just didn't make sense that, as I kept increasing power level, the efficiency remained at around 3.85 Sol/W.   I'm on 0.5.2 btw.

The NAT Problem with lost connections is still not fixed.
I still lost all few minutes the connections behind a NAT-Router in a reconnect-loop.
