Any way to restart the miner after GPU unresponsiveness?

Code:

2018-02-21 14:20:28|gpu_id 4 54 1 unspecified launch failure
2018-02-21 14:20:28|gpu 4 unresponsive - check overclocking
2018-02-21 14:20:28|cudaMemcpy 1 failed

Hi every one, i am new with DSTM miner, i was using EWBF miner with 620 slo/w with my 1080ti. I dont know what i do wrong but i set up DSTM 0.6 .bat file but i can't see any result to Flypool site, even after 4-5 minutes? What am i doing wrong?? I am running the .bat file and i see 20-30 more sol/what now, but nothing to the pool!!??

Hello dstm,

Thank you for your great work. I have been using your software to mine for a while.
I would like to ask, if it possible to make your software "restart" after a cuda memory fail on a gpu.
I have several rigs running and I am not always checking on them, it`s not nice to see that I had one rig not working for a entire night or day because there was a error.
This happens more in rigs where I have 6 different gpu`s from nvidia, it`s not easy to find the best OC. So if, a error happens, it should be logged and the mining should restart. That way I would check for the logs and know that I should reduce a OC on a gpu but i wouldn`t lost several hours of mining.

Thank you very much and keep the good work.

Sorry about my poor english.

I've already done some tests with respect to this. This can't be done reliable from the context of zm. If an unstable/overclocked GPU crashes it stops responding to driver calls most of the time such that it's impossible to restart the GPUs from zm's context. You need something external - like a simple script - which restarts zm on GPU crashes. However this won't work reliable too - sometimes you have to restart your whole system after a GPU crash. If possible zm reports the affected GPU but even this is not always possible on unstable hardware.

When DSTM crashes it displays the windows error message box (like unhandled exception) from the DSTM process. So if I run it from the loop batch script it waits until I press OK button on that MessageBox, then process exists and then the batch can loop and restart.
My question, is it possible to avoid it, put some kind of global try-catch, quietly log the error and exit process.

Hey @dstm I just wanted to ask you how you are calculating when to submit devfee shares vs normal shares. I have been looking through my logs for the last 24 hours and No matter what block of time I look at the number of *s vs +s comes out to around 7-8% instead of the 2% that it should be. Am I missing something?

Here are the 2 commands I used to parse out the characters and then do the math with them.

Code:

miner@simpleminer:/root/miner/dstm-v0.5.8$ cat zm.log.tmp |grep / |awk -F" " '{print $18}' | grep -o "*" | wc -l
357
miner@simpleminer:/root/miner/dstm-v0.5.8$ cat zm.log.tmp |grep / |awk -F" " '{print $18}' | grep -o "+" | wc -l
4235

357/(357+4235)*100=7.8%

Thanks!

[MrTDHP]

Can someone explain to me how to use the telemetry feature?
When I enable it, I can access my stats using the same rig browser by going to localhost:2222.
However if I tried to access it from other computer in same network, it is not loading. For example, if the rig local IP address is 192.168.29.207, I tried to access it by going to 192.168.29.207:2222.
Thanks

I searched my logfile with notepad and found thos numbers:
50 *
1530 +

= 50/1530 = 3,27%

Dev fee is 2% of your rig's mining time, not 2% of your shares

Do you know this for sure? Where does it say that? It would be nice if the logs indicated a "devfee" block of time so it was easy to know or see when it was working for the dev instead of just randomly submitting dev shares throughout the normal shares. Just a thought.

The promise I have is that no matter what time of block I pick in my logs (2 hours, 4 hours or 24 hours) it seems to always come out around the same high % over 2% so that's why I am trying to understand how he is doing the dev shares.

Will it change anything? Just count your own profits, ignore dev's profits. He wrote the miner => he is smart enough to hide from you shares that he doesn't want you to see. You can probably do a MITM on your rig to figure out whether info in the miner's console represent reality (but something tells me that's beyond your abilities)

Once again, amount of shares means nothing as they are of different difficulty.
Educate yourself before arguing.

So you are going to judge my intelligence based on 1 post asking a simple question about how a dev is calculating his fees? Shows your true intelligence level. And to reply to your statement, Yes I do know how to do a MITM. Thanks.

Once again, amount of shares means nothing as they are of different difficulty.
Educate yourself before arguing.

Once again, Since the dev didn't put anything in the log showing when he is or isn't mining for himself how am I supposed to know if he is actually only taking 2%? Am I supposed to just take his word for it since he is smart enough to create a miner so he must be honest enough to trust his word? I am not looking to start an argument over this because it's not worth my time. I had already PMed the dev asking about this to see if he could explain a bit on how he is calculating devfee and he said to post it publicly. I PMed him first because A. I knew I would get answers like I received from yourself. B. I wasn't trying to start a big deal over the 2% and call him out on it I was more just wondering how he was doing it since it's mixed in.

Hmm there must be something similar for linux but i don't use linux. You are getting a overclock error so just crank down your OC on your card/cards a bit and it should run pretty solid..

You got the answer, and now argue the answer is not fair since it is not documented.  In real life, arguing with the correct answer will generate poor results.

He is actually charging us more than 2% (my personal test -> 4-5%).
Right now I can't explain cause it would take more time. Anyway, put a sniffer and do it and take ur own conclusions. Would be great to keep a good conversation about it.

How do you propose to keep a good conversation? Just posting some hand-waving arguments, like you just did? You made an assertion - provide evidence.

Let's try: from my test DSTM charges 1.3% fee; sorry can't explain it; test it for yourself
