Hoping some of these logs/info help some of you out.

The 1080Ti and the 1060 are in my every day gaming rig with decent airflow. the 1080Ti has a back-plate attached.
The 1080 is in my wifes computer, decent airflow.
The 980Ti is on a test bench and kept in a fairly cool spare bedroom, the new 1080 will be going into my wifes computer and the old founders edition onto the testbench.

Memory appears to help with the hash-rate up to +500, after that the gain is minimal.

Memory appears to have almost no effect by itself, however at +150GPU and no memory overclock it is unstable, it only becomes stable when I add in the memory overclock.


EVGA GeForce GTX 980 Ti 6GB FTW

The memory response appears the same as the 1060 whereas it doesn't seem to directly have an influence, but is needed for a stable GPU overclock. For some reason I can no longer adjust the memory overclock.

I have an EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 SC GAMING ACX 3.0, 8GB on order aswell.

Why do i have impression that my hashrate reported on pool is more inconsistent per worker with latest dstm's miner 0.5.7 anyone experiencing that ?

[pixel8or]

Hey all, newb here. I decided to try sticking my toes in the water with this cryptomining thing on my desktop PC. Started out with a single GTX 1050 Ti and Zcash on EWBF and flypool. That went smooth so I grabbed another 1050 Ti off ebay for $135 and plugged it into the second PCIe slot on my old mobo and switched to dstm. I like what I'm getting so far.

https://s19.postimg.org/4op7vohfn/Dstm_Zscreen001.jpg

I'm going the Zcash to Litecoin route through ShapeShift and then to Coinbase. Just made my first $20 transfer to my bank account a couple days ago.

I'm honestly surprised how easy this is. Seriously thinking about trying a budget 1050 Ti x6 mining rig on Linux.

Thank you dstm and everyone else here for the great work and all the info.

It seems to be there is a problem that might be related to the miner code. Sometimes the latency would just jump and the router hang:

This happens to me only when using ZMiner (using flypool to mine). It can happen 1-2 times per day and would stop router to work properly - making the whole LAN unusable.

I have called to ISP service and they said during this break, the router would spam their equipment with errors.

I am not 100% sure ZM causes this though. I can only say, that using other miners/scripts/pools doesn't create this kind of problem - only happens while using ZM and flypool.

If you're on 0.5.6 pls try 0.5.7 - some routers seemed to have issues with multiple pool connections 0.5.6 was using. If you're on 0.5.7: this is very unlikely to be related to zm, it uses a very low bandwidth tpc/ip connection - there is nothing special about it.

Hi!

Could I get GPU name via API? I have red help and didn't found it. At start gpu's models are printing, but not in response. Are there magic JSON key? Thank you.

GPU-name isn't reported via json-rpc currently, I'll add this information.

[dstm]

I am getting higher sysloads in ethOS after upgrading to 0.5.7... for 8x GTX 1080 and 8x GTX 1080ti rigs.  Any work being done to fix this?  With 8x 1060 and 8x 1070 the load is a little lower.

There must be something wrong. 0.5.7 contains changes which reduce it's cpu-load on all systems. Could you pls provide more information, the output of the 'top' command of both versions would be very helpful.

[dstm]

if tool error i want restart tool, i will set config  is   --noreconnect  ?

There are multiple errors which may occur, the 'noreconnect' options disables automatic reconnection on connection drops/errors.

An idea?

The openssl situation is more complicated than it should be. Ubuntu still uses the old (openssl 1.0.0) version and doesn't provide newer openssl versions (openssl 1.1) in their packages - newer ubuntu lts versions seems finally to include openssl 1.1. Sid provides openssl 1.0.2 but doesn't include symbols for 1.0.0.
Openssl 1.0.0 is still the most compatible across the distributions - this is why zm uses it. I don't want to link openssl statically - since you won't get security updates this way. You can always compile openssl yourself it this situations. If this becomes an issue - I'll provide two zm versions (compiled against 1.0.0 and 1.1)

I just wanted to add that I did a little experiment with drivers with the latest release.
0.5.7 is unstable with NVidia 388.xx drivers. It instant crashes for me and never restarts. I want to add that new games like PUBG did the same.

So I tried older drivers, I found that 384.94 works flawless with 0.5.7 and earlier release + I got increased hashrate compared to 388.xx drivers.
This was tested for my 3 rigs with 1080ti and 1070 on windows 10 with latest updates.

I'm using the latest 388.xx drivers on windows 10 with a mix of 1070 and 1070ti and it's been running for days without a hitch.

Weird that different people have such different outcomes.

I forgot to mention that my 1080ti are overclocked with +200 mem and core. 1070 are overclocked with +100 mem and core. My post was more directed towards users that overclock and uses DTSM miner.

My 1070ti's are overclocked with +200 core and +700 mem and my 1070's are overclocked with +120 core and +650 mem.  I am using DSTM 5.7 and have found it slightly better in every way than the excellent 5.6

I run a total of 17 cards. 8 1070ti and 8 1070 in rigs, and one 1070 in a laptop.  All running DSTM 24/7 and so far have not had any crashes or stability issues with DSTM.

I get more then 1% rejected shares because of: "GPU0  rejected share: [21,"Stale job!"]"
Pool is eu1-zcash.flypool.org.

I get the same thing. No idea what % it might be, or if it's limited to only 1 of the 2 gpus in my minimalist rig. I just happen to notice it now and then. I've been thinking it's just something that hangs up on the pool's end and simply gets terminated after a certain time.

[dstm]

Hello everyone!

Sorry for being an absolute idiot but I don't know how to configure my zm file. I'm very new to this. I know my wallet address but if someone could tell me how to configure the file and recommend a good pool to mine I'd appreciate it. I'm running one 1070ti.

If you're on windows you can use the provided 'start.bat' file as an example. All you need to change is the '--user ...' option in that file. Change the example wallet address which follows the '--user' option with yours. That way you'll mine to your wallet using flypool. You can also check the documentation provided by the pools, they often include examples how to setup different mining software.

greetz, ezfox

More than 1% - that's a significant value. After what time do you get this results/stats? - it shouldn't be that high after 24h. What pool are you using?

[95do]

I really like ewbf miner but I am having so many crashes with exit codes and I have been trying for 2 days to fix it. So today i will try this miner and see how it goes
