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

If we don't set GPU intensity does it default to 100%? or should be set GPU intensity to 1.0?

Intensity is only used to reduce the GPU load. You don't need to set anything if you want it to go full speed.

@dstm

Hi, i moved to 0.6 and miners telemetry are going offline, miner works but telemetry does not work so monitoring software alerts me..

On 0.5.8 it was rock solid for months, moved to 0.6, not using config, only thing changed is i added --color to bat. And problems started. OS - Win 10

BR

It looks like your monitoring software isn't parsing the json-response properly. 0.6 added some GPU information to the response.

[dstm]

is there a temp limit setting so when reached will shut off? Is that different from --temp-target  ?

Temp-target monitors the temperature and reduces the GPU-load such that the temperature stays around the value you've set. It doesn't stop the miner. However be aware: thermal safety is in the responsibility of the GPU driver since it has a much better access/control over the GPU - it can't be done reliable in a user space program.

hello i set powerlimit in dtsm 190w but BUT gpus get only 130W


rig 12x1080ti 250mobb 4ram SMOS
with other miners oc settings applied correct.
other 7 and 10 gpu rigs are fine with any miner including dtsm

this is what i get
Applying PowerLimit: 190 watt for GPU 0
Applying CoreOffset: 50 MemoryOffset: 950 for GPU 1 with GPU Type: 3
Applying PowerLimit: 190 watt for GPU 1
Applying Core..............

BUT i get only ~130W on all gpus 517sol/3.78=130w

GPU11 60C Sol/s: 517.8 Sol/W: 3.78 Avg: 534.4 I/s: 279.1 Sh: 1.15 1.00
219
========== Sol/s: 6653.3 Sol/W: 4.05 Avg: 6889.7 I/s: 3588.8 Sh: 55.19 1.00
238

ANY ideas?

1060 1080 1080ti with dtsm are much faster than ewbf but i have to use ewbf on my 12x01080ti rig(

This looks like you're cpu limited. What cpu are you on? Could you also provide the output of the 'top' command pls.

Can I mine ZCL or any other equihash coins? or just Zcash.

New Version 0.6

changelog
- failover pool support
- introduce configuration file
- introduce intensity option

thanks for the update. failover doesn't work on my rig. it was failure on primary pool when connecting, then exited. not switch to the second pool. It is supposed to switcth to 2nd pool on 1st pool failure connection , right?

Righ, it should have switch to the 2nd pool and again to the 1st poll if it gets reachable again.
Could you pls provide more information - your configuration file - I'll check this.

Hi guys

quick question about <accepted shares ratio> <network latency in ms>

I have 2 rigs using DSTM on nicehash equihash

1st question, why my accepted shares ratio is 1.00 on one rig and my second rig is always under 1.00
2nd question is latency 125 on nicehash usa normal?
3rd one im also getting share above target once a while, why?

Rig1


Rig2


thanks
maz

can somebody help me here please?

It looks like this is just a coincidence. As soon as one of your submitted shares gets rejected the accepted shares ratio will be lower than 1.00 it can't never be 100% again - Also be aware - you'll see a value of 0.99 even if the real value is something l2587
I've improved this in 0.6 - pls report if you hit this on 0.6 again.

[dstm]

to DSTM
The switch to the next pool does not work if the connection is lost. I tested it by blocking the address of the pool on the router, just everything was hanging without errors. Time in the log stopped and that's all.

Could you pls provide more information - your configuration file and the address you have blocked.

You can mine any equihash coins

@dstm

how to make --telemetry to work from another computer, even if I give a different ip, it always listens to 127.0.0.1:2222, thanks in advance

I am on 0.58 version.

I have a question about shares. I don't understand  why different results with same nvidia card.
I know that different pools produce different shares rate,  but consistently my Dell Precision T 7500 with one Gtx1070 ( now ZCL-donate pool)  have much better shares than Biostar TB-250 with four Gtx1070 (MPH).
Dell T7500 : Gpu0  55C Sol/s 475-485   I/s 256   Sh 3.80-4.00
BIOSTAR Rig :======= Sol/s 470-480   I/s 255   Sh 0.65-0.75

So Sh are about 6 times better with Dell than Biostar Rig

Another difference is Dell working with Win7 and Biostar With Win 10.

I know hardware is very different but anyone can explain to me what can be happening?

The pool is supposed to adapt the "value" of the share they sent

so, I think that the real calculation for your mining work is

average value of the share * number of shares

With cryptonight, I got more shares from  my i3 compared to the 1070 I have,

But if you put them in two separate wallet, you can see, for real, who is gaining more.
test it by yourself, this algo is different, but the logic of the ppls behind the pool I think its the same

I could get json via tcp socket)

$tcpConnection = New-Object System.Net.Sockets.TcpClient('127.0.0.1', 2222)
$tcpStream = $tcpConnection.GetStream()
$reader = New-Object System.IO.StreamReader($tcpStream)
$writer = New-Object System.IO.StreamWriter($tcpStream)
$writer.AutoFlush = $true

$buffer = new-object System.Byte[] 1024
$encoding = new-object System.Text.AsciiEncoding
$command='{"id":1, "method":"getstat"}'
$command=$command | ConvertTo-Json

$writer.WriteLine($command)
$response=$reader.ReadToEnd()

$result=($response | ConvertFrom-Json).result | Format-Table


$reader.Close()
$writer.Close()
$tcpConnection.Close()

Thanks @skablast, is there a way to know something about this "share's adaption value" used by pools?

Hi. What is your driver version?
I have 1060 3gb like yours. When i start zm. Hashrate is 310 sol. Then (after 1-2h) the hashrate will decrease to 260-270

Over 60° the cards start to throttle. Only 1-5 %. At 70° they throttle even more. Keep below 60° to get Full Power. Thats my experience with 3 setups with 1060 3/6GB, 1070TI and 1080TI.
And thats why your hashrate goes down after a while, cause VRMs/GPU and MEM is hot and the card slowy begin to throttle.

My setup after hours of mining:

ID   DEVICE NAME          °C   ∅ Sol/s   ∅ Sol/W   ∅ Watt
0   GeForce GTX 1080 Ti    50   652.34   4.11   158.67
1   GeForce GTX 1060 3G   50   277.33   3.86   71.92   
2   GeForce GTX 1070 Ti    52   491.61   4.58   107.23
3   GeForce GTX 1060 3G   49   274.56   3.83   71.74   
4   GeForce GTX 1060 3G   54   274.18   3.82   71.71   
5   GeForce GTX 1070 Ti    46   492.15   4.58   107.49
6   GeForce GTX 1060 3G   54   277.34   3.87   71.68   
Total   -                              2739.51   4.09   660.44   

The ambient temperature is 12° (thx winter)

Im using Win7 and the cards have these settings:

GTX 1060 3GB hynix: GPU +240 MEM +400 PL 60%
GTX 1070 TI : GPU +180 MEM +600 PL 60%
GTX 1080 TI : GPU +160 MEM -100 PL 60%

Theres a little room for stability. 1080 Ti runs since 1 year 24/7 with these settings without hassle. I prefer a rock stable system.
In a downtime you are losing money. So a little lower performance is okay for me.

If... If your cards are throttling at 60C it's because you dropped your powerlimit and didn't raise your temp threshold.
I got 1060 6GB with Hynix Ram doing doing 330-330 no problems. They run anywhere from 58-65C.  I've had them near 70 too with the same results. The cards can do it you just have to make sure when you drop the powerlimit that you unlock it from the thermal threshold and set it to a reasonable temp.

Room Temp: 16-20C

GTX 1060 6GB hynix: GPU +250 MEM +400 PL 80%: 320-330H/sec :Temp 58-65C (2 different rigs reason why  big temp flux)
GTX 1080 TI : GPU +200 MEM +500 PL 90%: 745-755H/sec: Temp 59-62C

My thermal limit is set to 75C currently but going to drop it to 70C when I switch out cases.
