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.

There is a division by zero. Does nvidia-smi show proper pwr consumption?
Fan speed was requested already, I looked it up, nvidia doesn't provide this information. The only information nvidia provides is the level you set your fan speed to (not the actual rpm), this seems useless to me.

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

0.5.3 contains no changes on the GPU side.
Could you pls provide more information?

[dstm]

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?

Yes, it was fixed on pool side.

[dstm]

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

That's intended. Averages are the most accurate description of your performance.

[dstm]

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...

The difficulty is set by the server.

[dstm]

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

0.5.3 has no changes on the GPU side, could you pls provide more information.

[dstm]

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?

This is most likely due to overclocking, you have to readjust it, zm puts a different load on your GPUs.

[dstm]

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.

Could you pls provide more information.
What server are you connecting to - How many GPUs - some output would be helpful, I'll try to reproduce this.

[preda]

reading very good feedback about this miner still didnt try, i am gonna try for see if is more profitable than ethereum

[tutorialevideo]

great miner!

[Ryuh]

Good job on the miner! I used 0.5.2 version for 5-6 days already and its been stable on my rigs.
However after i tried the new 0.5.3 a had a miner crash after some hours of usage.
I didn't change anything, just copied the bat file in the new version.
Can i make a log somehow to report the error?

[Brzina]

Same here, have a three restarts on new 0.5.3 ? What is going on ? 0.5.2 worked without problems...

[dstm]

I'm somewhat unhappy with 0.5.3, I've discovered 2 bugs so far. If it's unstable for you use 0.5.2 pls. I'm rechecking it's changes.

[pttinh]

Could you add the option of selecting mining devices?

[frequencydip]

I'm having issues launching zm, I already created links to the newer versions of the libraries. On Centos 7.3

ln /usr/lib64/libcrypto.so /usr/lib64/libcrypto.so.1.0.0
ln /usr/lib64/libssl.so /usr/lib64/libssl.so.1.0.0

I still get the error

./zm: /lib64/libcrypto.so.1.0.0: version `OPENSSL_1.0.0' not found (required by ./zm)
./zm: /lib64/libssl.so.1.0.0: version `OPENSSL_1.0.0' not found (required by ./zm)

Any help?

dstm, can you compile you miner using the library and not the specific version?

Friend, could you check performance on gtx1080 ? It's don't have increased performance to compare EWBF miner.

I have advantage on 1060, 1070, 1080ti around 5%, but 1080 have same score or less than ewbf's miner.

And please add uptime timer in browser telemetry.
Tnx you very much.

P.S. GDDR5X trash? Any chance to get some advantage from this type of memory in your miner?

Ok, I will try to retweak my overclocked settings and try again...

[Brzina]

I'm back to 0.5.2. Same SOLs, but never crashed with these settings before. I will try 0.5.4 when it's out...
