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

[jmayniac]

I'm not sure why, but I'm not seeing the increase in performance that everyone else is with this miner.

My rig is 2x1080 (non-Ti), 2x1070, 2x1060.  Whattomine.com says this should be about 2450 sol/s.

zm = 2465 sol/s
ewbf = 2455 sol/s

That's less than a 1% difference and within a margin of error.  With the 2% fee on top of the zm miner, it totally isn't worth it.

BTW, I CANNOT overclock at all, the rig crashes even with the slightest amount of overclock on ANY of the cards, so that isn't an option.

Any ideas or is this just typical?

Have a look at nvOC easy-to-use Linux Nvidia Mining OS

I'm getting 300 sols with 1060
and 470 sols with 1070

1060:

Code:

Nov 02 08:05:54 PM| GPU7 64C Sol/s: 304.9 Sol/W: 3.57 Avg: 301.0 I/s: 160.3 Sh: 5.57 1.00 373 ++* 

1070:

Code:

Nov 02 08:03:59 PM| GPU6 62C Sol/s: 466.6 Sol/W: 4.04 Avg: 463.1 I/s: 247.6 Sh: 5.30 1.00 972

Actually I am using Linux.  I'm not using that particular one, but I am using Ubuntu 16.04.

I was using ubuntu 16.04 untill I saw nvOC.
Its also based on 16.04, with so many more stuff for mining.

Yeah, the idea is nice, but I don't care too much for Unity and there are a lot of unnecessary services running in the background.  Needs a cleanup as it looks to be a bit of a mess right now with all the settings and options all over the place.

Exactly, nvOC is cleaned up and tailored for mining.
Have a look, I'm sure you will like it, You can install it on flash drive and give it a test drive

I tried out nvOC, but I was still getting the same speeds as my own custom Ubuntu distro.  I think I will just stick with my distro for now.

This still begs the question, Is what I am getting typical?  I'm not even seeing a 2% increase, actually less than 1% with ZM miner over EWBF's miner.

[NameTaken]

Tried pointing my mining rig to btg.suprnova but results in

Code:

Could not resolve hostname stratum+tcp://btg.suprnova.cc

even though I could resolve and ping btg.suprnova.cc.

You might check if you're cpu bound, however it's unlikely on this setup.
I'm developing zm on stock setting, so can't say anything about overclocking.

The --server parameter accepts hostnames, try btg.suprnova.cc (without the stratum+tcp:// prefix)

But ssl:// works?

Right, you have to encode somehow an ssl connection, I've chosen a common prefix for it.
I've written it like this 'prefix hostname with 'ssl://' for encrypted connections' in the help output.
Not sure if this is confusing?

Doesn't look like it's CPU bound as I'm on a G4400 CPU and both cores are at less than 50% utilization.

"good" miner, w/o any correct statistic. I'm not sure, that you all, receiving on display what you have in reallity

after 1 GPU halted by overclock error, miner still show "total" as earler. and doesn't show any erorrs..
it's really, not a good

Since one of your GPUs crashed it stopped updating it's stats, there is no infrastructure to detect such situations currently so total numbers were still using the old values of the crashed GPU.

I wasn't aware so many of you are using overclocked/unstable systems, however I'm currently working on an GPU responsiveness infrastructure - so this kind of things will improve.

Hi,

When i mine for nicehash with this miner get a lot of rejected shares but no rejects at flypool am i missing something?

Thanks for such great miner still room for improvement.

Everyone has to overclock/underclock in order to max the profit,...most of the miners love to push the cards to their limit,...i personally love to find the perfect balance for each card,...ideal performance/watt ratio,...but in both scenarios you need a stable miner, which is flexible for stock and overclock/underclock settings,...it has to be stable otherwise it's no good,...that's the main reason I'm still sticking with ewbf,...because it's unstable on higher clocks,...but it has a good potential

There is some misunderstanding here, it's not the miner that gets unstable, it's the hardware that gets unstable if you overclock it.

since GPU not updating their stats, and send to hashed - you as i understand, can detect that GPU was crashed and remove it from overall stst, because many watchdogs tuned to overall stats...

don't forget, that you take 2% ...
