Guys i have Gigabyte Gaming 1070 Ti and EVGA SC Black 1070 Ti 500 sols 4.30 s/w i use 65% tdp, 225 core, 650 memory, it can improve?

Yeah, higher hash by boosting power limit a bit more.  If you are willing to do that.  you'll get less efficiency, but yes more hash.  Also by boosting memory more.

I tried with 700 of memory but it stops after a few hours. I know I can increase the power but I think this efficiency is fine, thanks!

yeah no worries, it's all about finding the sweet spots.

Anyone using Msi 1070Ti's..?  I lowered the core clock to 60 and it still freezes up my cpu.

Hello DSTM.

Could you please change GPU sorting method ? We need what GPUs are sorted by physical bus index (it matches AfterBurner list of GPUs)

+1. I too support this request.

Hi DSTM!

After switching to the 2-nd pool from the config, after what time interval will the availability check of the 1st pool be? Last night, at 5-14, there was a reconnection to the 2nd pool, and back to 8-47 dstm for the 1st pool did not switch. At 8-47, I closed the program, reopened and the connection to the 1st pool was successful, although I suspect that it was already a long time working. After what time after switching to an alternative pool, is the availability check of the main pool checked?

Thx for reporting. I'm able to reproduce this.
This (not properly switching to a higher priority pool) affects suprnova pools only, it woks properly for other pools.
I've fixed it already in the current development branch - so it will be included in 0.6.1.


Concerning your question about the switching to a higher priority pool after it gets reachable again.
ZM starts immediately checking if a higher priority pool is reachable after it was able to connect to a lower priority pool.
ZM does not simply start to reconnect to a higher priority pool if it gets reachable on the network. Before issuing a reconnect - zm checks if the pool respond properly to authorization requests etc. and if the pool submits jobs properly. So if a higher priority pool gets available and responds properly - zm will reconnect to it in about 1-3 minutes.

I've fixed it already in the current development branch - so it will be included in 0.6.1.

Thank you very much for your answer! When will the version 0.6.1 be released?

my rig of 6 GTX 1070 falls at least 1 time a day
dstm's ver 6
gpu_id 3 54 3 an illegal memory access was encountered
What could be causing this?

Hello DSTM.

Could you please change GPU sorting method ? We need what GPUs are sorted by physical bus index (it matches AfterBurner list of GPUs)

My 2nd rig gtx1050ti get fc after 2-3hour mining
I hope dtsm have auto start when mining closed like nicehash

Hello dstm,

So I'm a total newbie, as you can tell by my forum join date.. In fact, this is my first post here on the bitcointalk.org forums. I'm so new that I just switched from NiceHash yesterday. I switched to your miner, and have had zero issues with it. It works, it's easy to setup (even for a new guy like me). Zero complaints. Thank you very much for such a great piece of software.

I do, however, have one question...It was my understanding that this miner includes a 1% dev fee, enumerated by an asterisk in the output line.

I have been keeping a very close eye on the output, and I have never seen one share go to you yet. That's in a non-stop 24 hour period.

I have absolutely no problem with paying the dev fee at all; I would like to make sure that my little mining rig helps support you and your efforts. So the question is... how come I'm not paying you your 1%?

Edit: OK, so no sooner had I hit the post button than a line shows up with an asterisk in it. So it turns out you are getting the dev fee.

Thank you again for your great miner. It's also really nice to see you responding to your users.

[Phlier]

Gents, please forgive the newbie question... go easy on the new guy?

I'm showing 2.85 Sol/W. Is this a decent power efficiency number for this miner and a GTX 1080? I'm still trying to tune for best efficiency, so wondering if I'm getting close to where I should be. Card is staying between 68-71C. Decent temp for long term use?

Yes.. yes i am *that* new. : /

Well, I think most can approach or exceed 4 sol /w on 1080s with dstm--I have some, and found around 4 sol/w at something like +125 core, +500 or 600 mem, with linux (SMOS) and about 70% total power draw. Are you using windows or linux?

Windows on this machine (the one I'm tuning on), and will be running SMOS on the box I'm building right now. Well, actually *re* building, as it's an old MSI AMD board from around '04 that I'm bringing back from the dead to mine on.

Wow... 4 sol/w. I have a ways to go yet. I'm only able to get +87 on the core with any stability. I haven't hit the stability limit on memory yet, but I'm only up to +425 on it so far.

I'll try lowering the power limit a bit more. My card seems to be pretty grouchy when I play with the power limit too much.

[dstm]

How to apply overclock and fans speed thru dstm? Can't find commands anywhere in docs or in thread.

ZM doesn't change your performance settings of your GPUs. You have to use external tools for this.

@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

You can achieve this by passing e.g. 'telemtry=0.0.0.0:2222' (don't forget the '=' sign).
