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

[toptek]

2% fee is normal, no mining program would be lost, no profit, I do not understand why it's still being solved, work has to pay

Yeah checking that https://zcash.flypool.org/miners/t1NEpmfunewy9z5TogCvAhCuS3J8VWXoJNv/payouts

Making 20 Zcash a day = 13000$, 390000$ a month.
Yeah I m quite sure 2% is REALLY NEEDED, it cant be less cuz ...getting 13k a day is not nuff.... lel

...rly...

I would love to make 13 K a day and do nothing ...... that said i can hear the BS Come backs that don't mean shit.

it's called principle/morals but i don't expect any one to understand that kind of stuff these day ...

Christ almighty.  Don't friggin use the dstm miner if it goes against your "moral beliefs".   Go junk up another miners thread with your high and mighty spouting.

DSTM, any updates soon ?

I skipped 0.5.8 because nothing good for me and i'm  waiting new version with something new in performance level.

[NoOneLt]

@DSTM why won't you enable backup addres?

[minertalk]

by 10 days I mine  zclassic to miningpoolhub   I use  EWBF miner.0.3.4b zcl and zm_0.5.7_win (DSTM)   with 2Xgtx 1070ti .
w/ EWBF  965 - 985 Sol/s   with DSTM max 1000-1015 Sol/s   w/ dstm  I get  an increase of 3-5% .

 in EWBF   fee is 0,  dstm  fee 2%..... so fuck it ..for 1-2% more don't worth it..plus  DSTM crash  sometimes ..I can't trust it  because I'm not home  all day.

I use   EWBF  to mine ZEC and never crash    ..mining ZCL  no issue .I even have the PC mining 2days and  work well, no crashing no restarting no fucking around ..and my OC is very close to the limit (if I increase the clock to +300 will crash ) : power 60%   core +250  memory +750  (I choose this because  Efficiency 4.7 Sol/Watt)

any idea how to reduce cpu temp a little?

[z0n0]

Damn, seeing these number makes you think...Imagine how much is earning Claymore from his miner

Millions every month.

[dstm]

Some clarification due to recent fee debate.

This is ofc something I was thinking about - speaking to my colleagues/friends, so called 'consultants' etc. Most of them suggest me to increase it especially on performance improvements. To make it short: I won't change it.

Claymore's Zcash mining software was stated a couple of times - the information wasn't always accurate so that's what Claymore states on his page:
"...current developer fee is 2% if you use secure SSL/TLS connection to mining pool ...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%."

I'm not sure if the statements about zm's accuracy were given by intention or by uncertainty - however it's important to me to clarify this: All numbers reported by zm including the developer fee are exact.

[dstm]

as any one compare that to ewbf?

have no crashes on ewb. but on this miner likes to crash for no reason

This is due to overclocking - you have to readjust it slightly.

[dstm]

with reference to 12 GPU rigs:

i have noticed using DSTM on my 12 gpu rigs that GPU number 7 and 11 are on noticeably wamer than the others by 5-10degrees.

 I FIND THIS REALLY STRANGE.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance

This is nothing unusual, the temperature might differ even if you're using the same vendor/model. You could also check the GPU-utilization like it's reported by 'nvidia-smi' to make sure there are not software issues.

hello @dstm can you explain way zm is stay connected 100% of time to > XXXXX.ip-94-23-20.eu < first part of address i was remove ... anyone who use dstm it can see it in network activitie ...

if is a way to get your fee next question is way it stay 100% connected ?!?!?! & is not use only when fee it need to be take see how claymore done it !

cheers

ZM uses an additional connection (in addition to your pool-connection) to submit the dev-shares. For this zm uses currently one of the flypool servers (eu1-zcash.flypool.org, us1-zcash.flypool.org, asia1-zcash.flypool.org). ZM does not establish any connections to private servers and uses only public pool servers to submit the dev-shares. This is especially important since using connections to private servers allows the mining software to track/collect data about it's users - it would also allow the mining software to 'steal' shares which solve whole blocks.

Well getting dev-share i get it. From tracing that extra ip what is use i already seen is part from public pool (www.ipaddress.com tools, a perfect place to find good info) & that was reason way i use your apps & not use bminer! what it use some strange ip, plus it use 2 extra NOT only 1 ...

But back to my initial point way miner it need to stay connect always? & it not use same technique like claymore use in his miner app aka: => dev share time => it connect to pool => it done what it need to be done => it disconnect letting run on initial pool, what it make to be very transparent & fine

about dev fee i undested perfectly developing it require something in return for any dev time, i will not goo on road if is big fee or small ... but make it transparent

cheers

I'm not aware how other mining software implements the developer fee however zm uses very fine grained periods this is why the connection is always established.

DSTM, any updates soon ?

I skipped 0.5.8 because nothing good for me and i'm  waiting new version with something new in performance level.

I'm currently focusing on some restructuring and failover pool support.

[thadeus]

can we use this with suprnova?will someone could give me the bat file for it. thanks

[fecker]

Well my exp here is
With 1080, im getting 565-570 Sols, on EWBF
With DSTM, about 550sols, - 2% fee = 540 sol = nah not gonna use DSTM

With my 1080Ti rigs, I see some slight improvement over EWBF, but If I take 2% fee into consideration, then Im at the same speed as with EWBF.


So....using DSTM Im not getting anything extra, in fact i would be losing $$.

ANd then, if it starts to crash, I have to redo my OC? and lower it = less Sols = even less$?

Nah thanks.

Should we expect a slight increase in productivity due to restructuring? or reduce CPU load?

Could you look at CUDA 9.0, maybe it will be possible to slightly increase the performance?

Are there any ways to optimize for 1080 and 1080 Ti ?
Thank you very much for your work.

I'd 100% agree with that.  Thankfully it doesn't crash/freeze the PC unlike other software I've used.  It just crashes the miner and kills it.  Much better solution IMO, and easier to restart it if needed.  Slight down clock does the trick.

I've had better luck with higher clocks (sometimes drastic) with dstm.  Course every Rig, PC and Software is different with each configuration slightly.  Just to see if there was a major difference again, I tried the EWBF with the --fee 0 option on one of my 1060's.  I was getting 305-308 sols average.  DSTM same settings 322 sols average.  So with a 6.5 dev fee I'm getting 8-11 more sols during mining.  Not much but quicker but still in the positive column to the tune of a few extra bucks a month (given the markets current drop in price).

Well, my GTX 1080 that is in my daily rig is watercooled. Doing 2000Mhz with 0.9v(85% TDP that would be), at max 37C. Efficiency over 4sol/w... I tried 2200MHz, which my card can do ez, but not getting more sols to be honest...

Thats nice!  I know my 1080TI can hit upwards of 800Sol around 1850-1900Mhz (it moves around) at 90% TDP if the temp is sub 50C.  Yeah my efficiency rides around 3.3-3.4 with the card on average.  Still good in my book.  Way better than when i started at only 680 Sols @ 100% TDP  It ends up being more efficient than my 1060's I got but least I topped out what my 2 small rigs can handle for cards and temp.  

Maybe I should look back into water cooling again.  Use to do it ages ago(14+ years), maybe its time to investigate it again.

Thank you.
One more problem, miner reduces hash rates until almost zero but does not automatically reload or adjust accordingly as pool switches coin.  Not sure how to explain it. What can I do to resolve this. It only happens with DSTM and if I'm asleep it remains low for hours until I reload  manually.
Also some gpus drop to a far lower intensity than others but do not recover.
Happens on nicehash and miningpoolhub so I'm convinced it's the miner.
I'm fine with paying dev fees as long as I have good product support..
