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

[Darchello]

Dear users of bminer, I need your help😅 i was starting mining month ago, so pretty much newbie👏👏
Met a problem with my 12gpu rig
-Armor msi 1060 6gb
-b250 12 slots (China model)
-intel celeron 2930
-ssd 60gb
-ddr4 4gb
Bminer properly work with 10gpu if I use command -devices 0,1....10, anyway it takes a wild to start work😓😢😢
But when I am trying to put all of 12, it show me 0 hashrates, and did not finish starting, i was waiting about 30 minutes and it is still not benchmark the last 2, Do you have any solutions?!
P.s There are no errors, seems like bminer need more time, but I do not have so much passion so the maximum of waiting 30-40min
Thanks in advise!

is that pos celeron replaceable?

if it is not  bminer may not work well for you.

next question  do you run win 10?

if you run win 10 do you use msi afterburner?


cheap shitty cpus  like the celeron   really should be on a linux based piece of gear

I would try to run that rig on smos  simplemining.net

Win 10, afterburner both yes, I would like to continue work with celeron, if it will not bring me new troubles, well let’s see how Linux will work for me, btw dstm works fine😑🤫. Thanks for advise

Hello everybody. I have a problem with email settings on nanopool. On bminer.me said :"You can follow RFC 1738 to escape special characters (e.g., @, /) in the URI. This is useful when the mining pool requires you to specify email address as part of the username."
My BAT-file is
 bminer -uri stratum+ssl://t1Uxqks8udc8KpgdYvsngm2LWFA78CqhvCd.%computername%2fantipov%40yandex.ru:x@zec-eu1.nanopool.org:6633

Hi,

 I just start to use Bminer.Everything work greats but only in top of my console it shows "Remove dead screens with 'screen -wipe'." all the time.I couldnt figure out why it says like that.Did anybody experience same error?

Please drop your dev fee to 0.5% or less and I will switch.
Hell, pool operators have to manage servers and pay for hosting etc and they take less than what dev takes away.
Actualy if you drop your dev fee many people would switch from DSTM or EWBF and you would gain more money.

Thank you very much! It's works.

6x1063 hynix, test 48h

bminer: local 1960hs  flypool average: 1790
dstm:  local 1900hs  flypool average: 1860

bminer not honest

please show your screenshots otherwise I don't believe any words from you whose account is totally new.

i find your short post history to be pro bminer biased. you did a test of 6 hours each (not running at the same time so different difficulty) and you have been cheerleading since. sorry but i prefer to see large enough hashrate rigs side by side mining with both miners to see a real comparision. i've ran my 1070ti rigs with both dstm and bminer and have seen a much higher reported hashrate in console yet the same average hashrate pool side as dstm. dstm hashrate seems more stable where bminer's hashrate is all over the place on flypool.

i'm no fan of either dstm or bminer, but with bminers history of using sock puppet accounts on other forums to promote his miner...and seeing your post history, you look more suspicious than someone that posts the obvious that bminer reports a higher hashrate at the console than whats reported at the pool. theres no denying that.

dude  I certainly am not a sock puppet and my tests clearly show bminer  is doing better then dstm on identical machines pointed to the same pool.


this is  a realtime screen shot



as is this one taken today

Hi everyone! New user in bitcoin talk and fairly new mining too as been doing it only for a month or so. After reading 55 pages of conversations and discussions about Bminer I still haven´t made up my mind wheter to use it or not. To many concerns about security and background connections to Bminer servers and too many others related to its improvements over DSTM.

So far I use DSTM on my rig.

I have 6 GTX 1070 Ti, 3 of them MSI gaming and the other 3 EVGA SC and can not complain about their performance: average 3090 sols/s, 4.10 sols/w and 11.5 shares normally ( sometimes 10.80 and others 12.10) all cards on same settings, 70% TDP, +200 clock, +700 memory running stable at 50º C with fans on manual control between 25% an 37% depending on its position in the rig and the time of the day.



Any suggestions on how to improve this performance a bit more is always welcome.

The reason of my post and why I quoted philipma1957 is because I would like to ask a question from a newbie perspective so please be kind jeje

Looking at the pictures of your test philipma1957 I have noticed one thing: As you said, Bminer income is higher at the end of both tests by looking at the total amount nonetheless if we look in all your pics, on the Profitability (BTC/Day) is the same for both miners (0.0004/day) but the Total USD amount is always higher for DSTM (3.08/day VS 2.92 on the first picture and 4.36/day vs 3.86/day on the second). Besides on the right green box ´´payout amount´´ it is higher for Bminer ( on everything, daily, weekly and monthly) on the first to pictures but if we look at the second ones, everything is higher on DSTM though it is supposed to be performing worse than Bminer.

I want to understand how is this possible?

Do not take me wrong  philipma1957, I am not complaining about your test results or the way you have done them, I couldn´t have done them better myself but I do not undertand how, if Bminer is better and getting better payout it is not consistent all the time and is not always ahead of DSTM.

Thank you in advance

Could someone explain to me how to use the API? I have tried and I can only see the dashboard of the api from the same miner that is running the .bat, but from another computer I can not see it

Try changing the `api` parameters to

Code:

-api 0.0.0.0:1880

Change 1880 to whatever port you want to listen on. 0.0.0.0 should mean that it binds to all available network interfaces/IPs, or at least it does usually.

Agreed - it's funny how they don't realize this....
unless...

wait for it...

They are all made from the same dev!

Yes, but I can not use it outside the same network? I can not look at the dashboard from another city?

That's more of a networking/firewall problem to solve - nothing related to bminer. It's completely dependent on your networking setup (LAN, DNS, WAN, etc). Too many variables to solve via a forum post...

This is how my hashrate changed with new 6.0 version, it swings much more now:

switched from dstm 0.6 to bminer 6.0 to see if there was any performance gains with the bminer update

there was NOT any increased hashrate on 1070ti's and the invalid shares improvement in the changelog was not decreased.

the increase in invalid shares from dstm to bminer is pretty big.

I am not an expert neither pro Bminer, but your test or asumption is vague. You barely ran Bminer for a couple of hours and the comparason is not fair. It should be made with both miners running at the same time in different machines with exacty the same hardware and settings to have exactly the same conditions.

I do agree the invalid share rate is a bit higher. I have just started using Bminer as a try out and I have noticed exactly the same but can´t say is fair either because I am not running both miners at the same time.

With DSTM I use to get 0,2% rejected shares and with Bminer so far is nearly 0,5% but I have only been running it for the past 12 hours and been playing with the windows energy management to cut down the CPU.

This is my performance with 6 GTX 1070 Ti, 70% TDP, +200 clock, +700 memory:


And this is Flypool:


There are more fluctuations with Bminer so far, but as I said I have only used the miner for the past 12 hours and I´ve playing with the CPU energy to cut down so more Watts so It will need another 24 to 48 hours to be stable on the pool. I´ll post again the results in 24 hours

Realbminer some feedback for you.

I have run the miner for 12 hours so far with 6 GTX 1070 Ti, 70% TDP, +200 clock, +700 memory and this is what I have noticed so far:

1. The miner restarted 3 times so far in 12 hours so it seems to have a bit of a stability issue. DSTM barely restarted once in 7 days in a raw. (I do like the watchdog though as don´t have to worry about the miner going down).

2. As many people said, the reported hashrate in the console is higher than the one in the pool. I get an average of 3200 sols/s if we deduct your 2% (that is 64 sols/s) it should be aroud 3136 sols/s on the pool as the real hashrate give or take. The pool so far has only reported that hashrate during a period of 2 to 3 hours though I did mention I have been playing with the CPU energy so might be the reason. I will monitor the next 24/48 hours.

3. You said the CPU uses a lot of resources to start the miner and then it lowers due to initial communication between CPU and GPU, right? After modifying the high performance energy plan on windows 10 (basicly I reduce the maximun CPU consumption from 100% down to 60%) the hashrate on the console went down to 3150/3160 sols/s but didn´t bounce back to 3200 as it should. That brings the next question: Are you mining your dev fee with the CPU?? or are you getting something extra on top of the 2% you already mine? It doesn´t make sense that the hashrate lowers after reducing the CPU as all the work is done by the GPUs.

4. It might be a good idea or not, but I think it will be a bit more transparent if next to the accepted shares, rejected shares you included a new count names Dev Shares then we could keep track and see if it really is a 2% what you are taking away.

Edit: 5. When the miner starts working, the first Accepted share is not number 1 or 0, it is always number 3 so it would be nice if it would start on 1 so the Accepted share count would much the shares. Besides starting with a 3 count difference then it grows more and it is on 13 shares difference now that I do not know wherter you took them as dev fee or where they have gone.

Thanks

how can i use email on the address.workers name, on nanopool? i need it to set the minimum payout.

i've tried the example on the website but didn't worked.
