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

[z0n0]

Sorry noobs here. Can you run this in Zen cash instead of zcash?  Thank you

Sure you can, it's the same algo!

I tried switching from ewbf to dstm for the 2nd time yesterday. Initially it started out 5-10% faster than ewbf which is awesome, however after about 10-15 minutes it slowed more & more to the point where it was as much as 40% slower than ewbf, at which point I switched back.
I've talked to others that do not have the same problem, yet they were running less GPUs than I am. I have multiple rigs with 13x1070s & 1070tis.

I have the same problem with DSTM 0.5.6, 0.5.7 and 0.5.8. Stable and fast as hell, but after one hour it starts to make less and less sol/s.. in three hours I'm getting half rate (I start with 680-700 sol/s and after 4 hours I end with 230 sol/s)... so my only solution is restart the miner. All the time no more than 60ºC, fan speed at 60%. I have two rigs, same specs and the same problem: Asrock H110 PRO + 13 Nvidia 1080Ti (up five different brands, mixed). Every rig have 4 PSUs: 3 x 1000W + 1 x 1600W and just one cable to power every riser (4 pin molex version) so no problems about power or temperature. I use simplemining without overclock, just power at 200W, no extra mhz in gpu core or memory. Is it a configuration problem?

Platinum or Gold Certified PSU? I noticed difference in performance when I compared my Gold EVGA with my Platinum EVGA's. Now I only go for Platinums as they are more stable and give better performance for me.

It's not the PSUs.

That's kinda obvious, don't you think so?
Platinum>Gold

But not sure that's PSU issue. Gold are still way enough to get the job done.

Charging 2% here from all profits is just ridiculous , this guy is making millions monthly yet he hides behind anonymity and brilliant "customer service" (yes, you are paying him).

This pretty much.

Here its a working program for fee remove

I DO hope you can get it working under Windows 10. Cheers 

Any 1080 (Non-Ti) users here??? How about your hashrate when using DSTM miner??? 

Yes, standard 1080 FE, running 0.9V(85% TDP), can get ez 2000MHz, but doing 1974MHz, watercooled, keeping it at about 37C, XOC bios(may affect sols in a negative way), +550 on mems.
Doing 570Sols with EKWB. DSTM is not good for GDDR5X cards(1080, 1080Ti).
If you can do 570 with EKWB with 0 fee, why would u do 570 x 0.98 (2% fee)= 558.6 with DSTM? Doesnt make sense.

Fecker, don't you wanna get the "feck" out of here, please? And oh BTW, it is not EKWB, it is EWBF miner you are using, so use it and stop bitching at DSTM thread about fees again and again... EKWB is company that makes watercooling solution.

Whats your problem stupido? Did he insult someone? He stated the truth, EWBF performs better or at least the same on GDDR5X cards, but takes no fee...

Who is whiner here?

EWBF has 2% fee with lower hashrate. If you use -nodevfee option you lose approx. 5% performance. There is no "free miners" fyi.

Yes its obvious but I had similar problem with instability with my Gold PSU on 1080ti, problems disappeared after switching to Platinums. Just a thought.

I'm not so sure if that's true. My hash speed is the same with fee or without it.

[Smoreno]

Hi, i'm a total newby in mining, so i need some reference about performance.

I'm using my workstation an old Precision Dell T7500 Xeon 6Core 24gb 1xPNY-GTX-1070, mining at miningpoolhub. This weekend i'm going to build a rig with 4xGB-GTX1070

This are my rig numbers, working with Equihas-dstm (zm.exe) :

485 sol/s 3.84 sol/w
Are this numbers good enough?

AfterBurner OC settings:

Core + 190(GPU-Z 1830 Avg)
Memory + 775 (GPU-Z 2288 Avg)
PW 84%
Temp. 57ºC

Thanks

EWBF Clearly stated it under the option.

It is so sad so many dumb people got into mining these days... EWBF dont have "-nodevfee" option, EWBF does not made any statements about 5% less hash... It is sad some people are dumb enough not to distinguish one miner from another but "smart" enough to buy a pack of GPU and call themself miners...

You've mistaken it with claymore i guess.

[poby]

EWBF has a fee that can be turned off but hashrate will be reduced.

See https://cryptoyeti.com/ewbf-zcash-cuda-miner/

Similar to the Claymore miner (which does not currently support Zcash mining under Windows), the EWBF miner contains a 2% developer fee which can be turned off in the batch file. It is noted in the thread that disabling the fee will slightly reduce hashing power, similar to that same behavior with Claymore’s miner.

[anyreason.ua]

Who else want to tell us his extremly important opinion about devfee?

This is a crypto-community, right? Not a challenge to find the most greedy person?

Just pay the fee or go and write your own miner, what could be easier to understand?

Its so sad people like you try to use invalid arguments. The 5% is approximation made by the users that used -nofee on EWBF. Here is a link for your illiterate dumbfuck https://cryptoyeti.com/ewbf-zcash-cuda-miner/ or read his readme, --help

Are you disabled or what, maybe you have some text understanding problems? If you are dumb enough again to use "--nofee on EFWB" and expect there will be no fee - go ahead

Where is that users " The 5% is approximation made by the users" in the link? Who is that users? What they "approximated"?

[Canosgmk]

wow guys.  Good job in the name calling and everything. 

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2007661.0

there is a clear conversion that you can turn off the devfee and there is proof that if you look in the 'devfee' string log the miner will still mine on the developer's pool. 

So:
yes, you can turn the devfee off.
yes, if you do, you will mine slower.  reason - IAW the devfee string log, it will mine in the dev's pool.  It just will not deposit the coin.

at the end, we didn't make the program.  Give credit where due.  if you don't want to pay the dev fee, then try to learn to write your own. 

I have no issues paying a fee.  I think 1% is more reasonable, but im not a coder and can't complete with them.

Hey, this "discussion" has started from GDDR5X card performance on DSTM vs. EWBF, and one of the users stated (and was instantly insulted by a dumbass in this thread) that in current DSTM performance state EWBF outperforms it on GDDR5X cards + you can turn off fee or set to 1% if you see it is more reasonable.

From my side this was not question about fee itself but performance, and why someone must pay fee on less performing miner...

Currently i am running 6x1080 rig on flypool on EWBF for 24 hrs and will switch to DSTM to check real situation in GDDR5X EWBF vs. DSTM

Fee or not to fee is not the question, though 1% to me also would be prefferable, if you make 100K or 50K per day i dont see big difference, i would live with 10K per day....

If dev see that this is his lifetime opportunity to build a "fortune" that is his choice. We as users still have choice of different miners/algos/pools etc.
