[ANN]Bminer: a fast Equihash/Ethash/Cuckaroo29z miner for AMD/NVIDIA GPUs 16.4.9

[wetblanket]

On Ubuntu with 1080Ti version 5 is 0.5% slower than version 4

0.5%? How do you even accurately measure that small of an amount? (or are you joking around...?)

What does 3a6fcd1 in the file name mean? It would be convenient to have an HTTP endpoint with the latest version info so it can be used as a variable in a script or Ansible-playbook in my case. E.g.

Code:

curl -s https://www.bminercontent.com/releases/bminer-$(curl -s https://www.bminer.me/releases/latest)-amd64.tar.xz | tar -xvJC /opt/bminer/ --strip 1

Like https://storage.googleapis.com/kubernetes-release/release/stable.txt

This is a very good idea. I'm not at the stage of needing it, but I can see its usefulness.

[LoraineLY]

Version 5 is much better in performance in fact now uses 99% of all 1080i video cards compared to version 4 that used 99% only from the first and 90% from the others .. but after about 30 minutes of operation freezes without any message .. I was forced to put back the version 4 .. to anyone else from the same problem under Windows 10?

Maybe you can check your overclocked setting or cable connections?

I have experienced same issues with ewbf before. I fixed it by replacing my USB raiser cables. Usually freezing on high utilization is a sign of bad overclocking or unstable cable (USB raiser or power) connections.

BTW, could anyone tell me should I switch from ewbf to bminer or not? I have been using ewbf for a while. Is bminer faster?

I'm not joking around. Given enough cards it's very easy to see when you log everything

[Supercoiner111]

It seems Bminer is 3% faster than dstm in hashrate but more power and cpu hungry, I guess this is the case withe latest release?

[torstenx]

The miner (v5) will often keep working but stop submitting shares.

It will just output lines like this
[INFO] [2018-01-10T08:23:44+01:00] Total 4347.56 Sol/s 2323.51 Nonce/s Accepted shares 0 Rejected shares 0
and disappear from the pool

[Andrey09]

The miner (v5) will often keep working but stop submitting shares.

confirm, unstable on windows 10 x64, was tested on 4 different rigs, after sometime i have a lot of rejected shares (around 10% of total).

Was tested on 1080Ti and 1060 6 Gb  (8 gpu in rigs).

mm I do not think depends on that since the version 4 works without problems for several days

Why does it matter where his server is located?  He's not a pool.

[cryptoyes]

I'm not one to defend mining software developers (charging 2% of earnings is unethical both in terms of model and amount) but, this Panama one is funny:

- those are not his servers but the DNS hosting servers.
- it's a privacy protection applied to his domain name (whoisguard), his servers are elsewhere.
- why does it matter where his server is?
- what's wrong with Panama?

[Jsorrentino]

Sounds like someone not technical on the hunt for an imaginary scam.

Anonymous domain registration is normal.  Unless you are selling ASIC miners - of course :-)

[cryptoyes]

This doesn't work on nicehash servers, it says

Code:

[WARN] [2018-01-11T01:46:33Z] Get error: The length of server side nonce is 17 (>16), which is incompatible with this solver, resetting in 5 seconds

Can this be fixed please?
