on pool side i have average ~2500 Sols (6x1070 - after running more than 24 hours).

DTSM showed correct values for me on same rig. bminer has 8%!!! difference. crazy. i swtich back to dtsm

I actually switched back to DTSM now...

The pool shows me the same hashrate, so this guy is either lying about the hashrate or he is taking more dev fee than he says he does.

Either way pretty scammy.


Plus, he can't even get e-mail adresses working properly.

I have asked >10 users to try out the feature of putting email into the username and all of them report it is working perfectly. Can you double check your command line?

[realbminer]

Another fantastically buggy miner.  It doesn't even recognize it's own -watchdog option.  Just like EWBF, it won't exit when it needs to.

Back to DSTM.  Too bad it kills the rig after hours and hours.

Can you post your command then?

See https://www.bminer.me/examples/#exit-immediately-in-case-of-network-failures on how to disable watchdog.

Same machine, same cards, same pool, same running time from scratch, same ... everything is the same ... running for 48 hours now

bminer has somewhat lower pool reported average hashrate but higher cumulative actual payout by ca. 3% on the pool side.

Will keep it running until the weekend and then start switching if the status persists

status after 72 hours... averages are last 24 hours and irrelevant now. the actual pool payout is ca. 4.5% higher for bminer. I will let it run for another ca. 48 hours before final decision. It runs on full autopilot, I dont even look at rejected shares or anything else. And it is 2x1070 for each miner.

It would be interesting to know with which cards you are mining with.

[cryptowhore]

Will the real the @realbminer please stand up? I repeat will the @realbminer please stand up?

I'm building a Progressive Web App for monitoring several instances of bminer (different rigs/pc's, with a service worker to let you know when a rig is down), but i'm not able to get the (status)data loaded into javascript. It requires that the API server sends the right headers so that javascript is able to pull the data, which isn't the case right now (i can use a PHP proxy ofcourse but then i can't share the magic with the public).

Please add something like this tot the server:

Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *

More info: https://enable-cors.org/

This is the error i'm talking about:

Failed to load http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/api/status: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. Origin 'http://domain.ext' is therefore not allowed access.

_{PS I tried sending you a PM but i don't think you read those (maybe i'm wrong, and you don't care about my plan/app, but please let me know so i can go on building other cool stuff).}

Don't know what's up, but even if I restart bminer, it doesn't want to work.

DSTM and EWFB work without problems.
Any ideas (running version 5.2.0)

Run for two days and still cannot reproduce the error.

Have you tried different mining pool?

[spodo]

bminer is better than dstm?  for gtx 1070 ti ?

[kevdotcom]

I actually switched back to DTSM now...

The pool shows me the same hashrate, so this guy is either lying about the hashrate or he is taking more dev fee than he says he does.

Either way pretty scammy.


Plus, he can't even get e-mail adresses working properly.

I have asked >10 users to try out the feature of putting email into the username and all of them report it is working perfectly. Can you double check your command line?

I told you three times already what I entered and what I got out of it... I'm actually progamming every now and then myself for years now, please don't try to tell me that I'm too dumb to use some simple command line arguments and URL encoding while you need us to put 'stratum://' inside the argument instead of just adding it inside the code of the miner. (with an argument if you need a different protocol, if there even are any others that are still used)

Damn, just make it open source, so I can fix this obnoxious stuff myself.

Agreed. My problem is different -- dies with no output on Windows -- but my experience & impression of the program author is the same. No useful troubleshooting questions asked, no useful troubleshooting information offered... just open source it and provide compile instructions, people can help you make your program better.

[realbminer]

feature request:
Can you make it configurable on what GPU's to start mining?
I'm thinking about mining zencash with hynix cards and eth with samsung cards in 1 rig
so beeing able to start mining on gpu 0 and 1 for instance would be sweet

This is supported out of the box via the -device flag. Please see https://www.bminer.me/references for more details.

It should be fine for the status API. Will look into it in the next release or two.

Hashrate continually dropped.

DSTM and EWFB work without problems.
Any ideas (running version 5.2.0)

Run for two days and still cannot reproduce the error.

Have you tried different mining pool?

Not yet, no.
This pool gives me the best payout at the moment. I've been running Ewfb miner for days on it without problems.
Since it stopped mining with Bminer I switched to dstm and its been running great with about the same reported hash rates.

Would love to run Bminer, if it was faster or if it had lower fee than the others. But stability problems is a much bigger concern than slightly higher hash rates.

[Gelbstich]

bminer is better than dstm?  for gtx 1070 ti ?

I personally get a higher hashrate of about 4% compared to dstm with bminer with my 1070 Ti's.

[ltc_bilic]

EVGA GTX 1080SC, +100/+500/87pl around 155-160w

@realbminer: What does this error message mean?


Is there a way to reduce the CPU usage of this miner? I've used the "-gpucheck 0" to get the 8rigs to work,...but for 12 rigs it's too CPU intensive and it it closes/crashes without any warning.
What's the command line to get the watchdog disabled? "-watchdog false/0" won't work.

It looks promising, will test further, finally some competition in equihash algo.

[choff5507]

Hi,

Hoping someone can help me. I am running the ASUS mining board with 12 GPU's currently, will soon add #13. I cannot get Bminer to start properly, it starts but never starts hashing and then basically stops saying something like "GPU0 hang detected...." and then restarts. Ive put a screenshot below (the 1st one). EWBF seems to work fine but I prefer Bminer......

Any ideas?
