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

[dstm]

On one miner i'm see seeing on telemetry Page.
Uptime over 6 hours. And con time only 30 minutes.

Miner is mining and everything looks good. But i have a very small share rate.

What's causing this con time error ? The last six hours Ive been basicly mining only 30 minutes ?

Contime denotes the time passed since the last reconnect in this case.

Do you consider selling the miner without the dev fee?

Sry, no.

[dstm]

Cant mine Bitcoin Gold?

Yes dstm's ZCash can mine Bitcoin Gold.  I'm using it to mine Bitcoin Gold right now

Lower the fee and you might get less complaints an more users.

They don't mind paying it but it is to high at least with CM zec miner it's adjustable i know CM Zec miner only runs AMD cards but don't look at it that way because what happens if CM decides to give it NV card support most here now will use it,don't think they won't .

I'm not sure if you're talking about Claymore's Zcash miner but that's what he states on his thread:
                                                                                                                               
This miner is free-to-use, however, current developer fee is 2% if you use secure SSL/TLS connection....
If you use unsecure connection to mining pool, current developer fee is 2.5%....
If you don't agree with the dev fee - don't use this miner, or use "-nofee" option.
-nofee   set "1" to cancel my developer fee at all. In this mode some recent optimizations are disabled so mining speed will be slower by about 5%.

No issues with 5.6 here on 1060 and 1080ti rigs.

Was a slight issue when I first started using 5.5, it would crash out, but I dropped the core clock back by 10 and it worked fine.

Your fee is fair.  In the grand scheme of things 2% is stuff all of what we are making. 
To put it into prospective, 2% of $1 is 2c !

[Trololino]

No issues on 1060 and 1070, but its not working steady on my regular 1080's. Could be because of different memory, but it would be great if I could use it on all my rigs.

Hi dstm, can you please confirm is this connection error and why is this happening?

https://ibb.co/gcsQSw

With previous versions I never had any problems like with this last one. It is not problem with network as I’ve two locations with rigs and it is not happening on all rigs at one location but randomly.

[markymondie]

i got rejected shares on nicehash.

if you have time @dstm can u please check that. i love your miner. didnt give me a hard time unlike ewbf. no 0 sols problem on dstm.

 

[k3rt]

Can someone confirm which drivers work better for them on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS:
- 378 vs 384 vs (other versions) vs CUDA Toolkit?

[akuci]

I can confirm there are rejected shares on NiceHash with any PL\Freq settings, even stock.
Can you please look into it? 'cause I'm using it only on NH, and maybe some other folks too.

Also I think you must do something to improve readability of information in miner window.

[Atexor]

Thx for the report.                                                                                                            
Are you thinking about a unix daemon? This isn't available on windows, I don't want to diverge the versions without a good reason, I'll do ofc if there is one. If you're mainly interested in disabling the output you can redirect it to /dev/null or/and start it in your init system (e.g. using systemd).

What colors and where would improve readability?

Hi, I'm using dstm on Windows on my mining PC. Unfortunately Linux is not an option. I think it shouldn't be a big problem but I understand if you don't want to implement it. It was an idea which could be useful because it won't take a space on taskbar. Also thanks for commands. It would be helpful inthe future. And about colors. This is my idea for your miner look:


What do you thing? To my mind, currently there are too many informations in the console. In my version summary for GPU(s) will appear every X minutes or shares . "+++++" instead of number is strange ideaso I changed it. More info would be avaible via telemetry.

+ 1 for this idea. I just think you should add 3 colors for the temperatures. Below 65 - green. 65 to 79 - yellow, and 80+ - red. Also it will be good to see how many accepted shares, and how many rejected, also green for accepted and red for rejected. Per GPU and total. It would be much much better than this current mess of information. I cannot understand half of them, and really don't need them as an average miner.

I though about colors for GPU temperaturs, hovewer for different models there is different level of "hot" and could be difficult do maintain and change (in config) fpr each of the cards. Also using too much colors could make it too unreadable.

Rejected shares appears sometimes for me but their form  Recently I had one. I think it could has red color and show as normal information. If everything works normally, there is no reason to color it at green every line.
Take a look:
https://i.imgur.com/5xjthIu.png
I don't know what "21" means there - number of rejected share? Also I've bringed back "*" to show where was devfee but in different place.

For me showing year in date is unpractible (month rather too but i kept it), like that accepted shares ratio too (always equal 1.0). It's not necessary to show every line Avg. Sol/s because it doesn't change so often. On summary it would be great. Of course this is my proposals and for someone other ideas could be better. Nonetheless I hope that dstm will like my suggestions.


By the way - dstm. Miner started to works better to me and it haspractically a bit more better score than EWBF. Hoverwer it needs much time to spin up. I am wondering why with ewbf/dstm miner I'm able to overclock core only to 60/75mhz max, while other people on 1070/1080ti could overclock it further than 100mhz.

@dstm, can you consider adding new equihash variant, e.g equihashzero k=192 n=7 ?

[santan]

And about colors. This is my idea for your miner look:

@Atexor..... How did you got that picture    dstm miner is closed source !

I gota that problem too. And dstm want help you.

I got same error time to time on BTG.

I would add in miner window also power consuption in Watts. It's really useful.

[ap0stol]

I would add in miner window also power consuption in Watts. It's really useful.

sol/s

[akuci]

Okay, I'm bad at math, but not that bad.
Still, it would be nice to see the power draw for each card.

Hello, i'm asking my self is this ok for Share rate for GTX 1060 on flypool mining to have Sh: ~0.90, when my GTX 1080 Ti have around ~2.88
