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

[MrTDHP]

This is a very strange issue, in Windows 10, the 0.6 miner is stable but once you randomly click inside the cmd window, it will just freeze (as in not outputting any new lines), the GPUs clocks are reduced to around 1500MHz (my cards are 1080Tis). I have to close the window and start the miner again. I can reproduce the issue at any time and happens in all of my rigs, so the issue must be not in my system.

Not sure why this is happening, it is not a critical issue but dstm you might want to look at it.

disable quickedit mode in cmd

Does running 6.0 change something if I go back to 5.8?  I can't get either to run now.. out of memory cuda errors,.and it just crashes.
win10

..edit.. uninstalling Afterburner and unplugging all cards,.. one by one.. it is slowing getting back up and running...  (not sure if should even try version 6 again)

So I've skimmed the forums since release of 0.6 and didn't see anything concrete on how to setup failover pools.  I was hoping for a --failover (pool,worker,password) but didn't find a solution yet.  Can anyone that has gotten it to work quickly post how its done?  Much appreciated.

Hey all,

I created a small script to extract Nvidia and DSTM telemetry data into Prometheus to create nice dashboards.

Check it out and let me know what you think: https://github.com/pwm/rig-stats

This is very clever! Thanks for the script. @Pustul

The Universe needs you. 

yaay! thank you very much! I will check out your script today. i was hoping for such a way! thank you pustul!!

Your welcome guys, I hope you enjoy the little script.

It looks really nice, nice job! Is it possible to connect multiple rigs to have all of them in the same interface?

How do you set up failover pools?  I've searched and I'm not finding an answer.


Thanks

look inside the zm.cfg file

thanks...LOL

Hey there it is lol.  I don't use config files for anything so I would never have looked there.

that look intristing for a person who like to track statistic BUT from what i see it working only for linux so when you have time to make for windows to will be nice cheers

You can install python on Windows.

Re multiple servers - As Prometheus is pull based what this script does is simply expose telemetry data as an http endpoint (in Prometheus' data model semantic, ie. a simple specifically formatted text file) so that Prometheus can query it. This means that the script would have to run on the rigs themselves and then you'd configure Prometheus to pull from all rigs. This is safe as all data has the GPU's uuid as a label which means that each GPU will have its own time series stored independent of one another.

As giveen1 said in theory it should work on Windows if you have Python3 and NVML (the Nvidia Management Library) installed. I have not tested any of this personally, so if you're up for it I would love to hear feedback whether it works or not.

NVML is part of the CUDA toolkit and can be downloaded from here: https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-downloads

Hello people!

Did anybody saw some problems with Flypool?
Before last diff increase I had in immature balance about - 0.017, after last increase it drops a little to - 0.01358, but today I see - 0.00558.
I don`t see such a huge diff pump or network hasrate.

What is wrong anybody knows?

Thanks in advance.

P.S> And it continue droppping - 0.00448

[mmatesic]

I noticed it too. No difficulty on the chart and no incoming Immature Balance. It looks shifty.

[grunoff]

It`s all back now. I think they make some service or some updates.
Will see.

[Bimmber]

Yes, there was a message for about 15 minutes "Unscheduled maintenance".

Hi, all!

I have a system of 2 1070s, one Gigabyte Windforce, the other Asus Aorus.
The problem is, dstm miner crashes when I use both cards. So, at certain settings (stock and OC)
I can mine with a single GPU for infinity, but when I use both - I experience several
"light crashes" which are cured by resetting the driver and restarting the miner - and then a complete system freeze.
Even running both GPUs at stock.
Sometimes it can take a day, sometimes an hour to do so.

I can say that the time required for a complete fail has decreased, it took more time earlier.

I use Win7, a 700 W PSU, MSI AB for overclocking. One GPU is in the 16x slot, the other is connected via a raiser.
The motherboard is a bit old (from 2012), if that's important. And a double core proc (core2duo) and 2 Gb RAM.
Driver version - 390.77

I tried out --color. It turns the text from white to pale blue. 

EWBF's output is FAR superior, I wish he would update the miner to match or beat dstm.
