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

[Atronoss]

lul thats stupid man.
ewbf = 3049
dstm = 3099 - 2% = 3037

Why use DSTM if earning less ? Makes no sense. And yes, --fee 0 works in EWBF.

Lul, guys here were right you are pretty stupid. Not stupid but actually dumb 3099 is actual numbers from pool. But of course brain dead people does not read or actually try something, they just whine all around

See? I'm glad you finally found out yourself

AVG shows me zm.exe as a virus and versions 0.5.6 - 0.5.8 for Win64 in the opening post DO NOT MATCH the given sha1 hash number. Can anyone else confirm this please?

[weeminer]

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?

Yep same motherboard, never had this issue with any other miner but I'd love to get it working & get the extra sols. Anyone else have any ideas?

Are you all using SMOS?
Some SMOS user reported something similar recently.

If you take a look at the provided data: affected systems seems to have a lot 'nvidia-settings' processes running, this might be the reason for the performance drop after some time. So pls check if this is also the case on your system - It looks like SMOS is starting nvidia-setting (most likely for monitoring) without properly closing it.

Having this issue & yes, on SMOS. Would just replace SMOS with Ubuntu if I could but only have remote access to rigs. Might need to mod SMOS source to fix :/

I am also having this issue..running with smos. With 12 x gtx1060..rig started with 3700sol/s..after running for 2 hours the hash rate drop to 2000sol/s. Is there anyway we can fix this in smos ? I tried both 0.5.7 and 0.5.8 same result..Now trying 0.5.6 version

[m1n1ngP4d4w4n]

Hey dtsm, how's the new version coming ? any approx ETA ? Will it be available in cuda 9.1 ?

keep up the good work !

[Jughead1220]

I tried working theis with conjunction of  cdm open source.. https://forum.z.cash/t/cmd-equihash-miner-autorun-autorestart-watchdog-for-ewbf-claymore-dstm-ccminer/20640/123 ... on Zen cash in suprnova pool and i cant get it to work.Keeps saying something wrobg with the net.. I think its users  noobs error 😂😂.. .. it works in zcash in flypool.... ... I hope Dstm can place this similar scripts and can use it in both zcash and zencash both in suprnova and flypool...

[vovanius]

Are there any intensity settings? Like --intensity in EWBF miner?

how can i change white telemetry theme to dark?

I guys..I am running v0.5.6 in smos with 12x gtx1060..Somehow manage to get it stable running around 3700sol/s for 12hours..No decrease in hashrate so far...I assume it's stable right now compare to v0.5.7 and v0.5.8 in smos..this might be the resolution for those having similar issue

What I would love to know.... is how to disable a GPU... For whatever reason, this miner just never starts. It keeps saying that "GPU 1" is unresponsive... I'd love to at least TRY this miner on my 1070ti but can't do so if it won't even let me disable a GPU that isn't working with it... and no, I'm not just removing the card... the computer the cards are in is the computer i'm using to type this message.... as in, i use the computer and it just mines when its idle..... or at least would if this worked....

Hi all, my miner zm 0.5.7 at now.Worked steadily for 2 months, recently started to fail. Version 0.5.8 and 5.6 also closed with this error. Has anyone found a solution?

Use --dev switch check help on how to use it.

Hey Topteam.

The fastest miner for 1080tis is still EWBF.

On stock FE, it gets < 700.

It depends on the cards.

superclocked card can do 720 stock and run at 60 degrees.  FE runs at > 71 degrees no matter what.

I have 4 of them on a cold cement floor spaced out with long adapters.

For me DSTM is faster, here is some quick test on stock settings:

[tlaskows]

Those are not stock clocks for reference design super hot FE.

I can get 2900 easily with power limiting at - 13 and a bit of
OC.

I can't use that evga utility.  I have mixed brands.

Afterburner is the same thing.  Detects the cards default clocks no problem.

So what, its same 1080ti's on different miners... You stated that EWBF is faster, its not at least on my hardware.

Because it is faster on any 1080ti.

Not the same.  Run that on asus FE with the fans on auto.

There are several designs.  Supercloked factory,  different coolers.

I have EVGAs sc2.  Those can do 760 each with small tweaking.

Check your average pool hashrate instead of what the miner shows.

[tlaskows]

Just ignore the last post.  I'm new to computers.  I still use Windows 7.

But these are my clocks and settings and sustained rate.  I can get these to over 3000.

I'm freezing down here, but the GPUs can't seem to keep cool.

Hi, love your miner! Getting average of 730.8 sol/s with a 1080ti at 85% powerlimit +177 core @57^oC. Much better than EWFB's miner

But I have a small "hobby rig" and was curious if support for kepler gpu's will be available? Please say yes  If not, why? 

Thanks for a great miner

1080ti crashes at those settings in less than couple hours if not right away.

Nice try.

hobby rig of k80s? 

You can get pretty good FPS in Crysis on those...

The miners work on all Nvidias as far as I know.

May have to recompile them from source.  Send me your rack of 8 k100s and I will do it.  I have done it for AMD, CPU and other Nvidia miners.
