Any idea why API is started around 5 minutes after the miner?

Whoever mines the block which ends up containing your transaction will get its fee.

another question:
where is the detailed guide mining ETH? Can I just replace the wallet address and pool to mine ETH below?
@echo OFF REM Change the following address to your Zcash taddr. SET ADDRESS=XXXX SET USERNAME=%ADDRESS%.w SET POOL=XXXX START "Bminer: When Crypto-mining Made Fast" bminer.exe -uri %SCHEME%://%USERNAME%@%POOL% -api 127.0.0.1:1880
you have 2 way to set up mining eth. @echo OFF REM Change the following address to your Zcash taddr. SET ADDRESS=eth wallet SET USERNAME=%ADDRESS%.w SET POOL=eth pool SET SCHEME= eth protocol. START "Bminer: When Crypto-mining Made Fast" bminer.exe -uri %SCHEME%://%USERNAME%@%POOL% -api 127.0.0.1:1880 eth protocol is different if you use differnet pools, and you can find common protocol here: The classic Stratum protocol whose URI scheme is ethash:// or ethash+ssl:// (i.e., the Stratum protocol over SSL connections). ethermine.org and nanopool.org support this protocol. The Ethereum proxy protocol whose URI scheme is ethproxy://. f2pool.com, dwarfpool.com, and sparkpool.com support this protocol. The Ethereum Stratum protocol whose URI scheme is ethstratum://. suprnova.cc supports this protocol. another way to set up the commind line is just looking on bminer's example page and find the command lines and paste into an blank bat file. bminer -uri ethash://0xb76d43eAaB2e905028a7f0F3aF13C7A84c477B9f.woker@eth-us-west1.nanopool.org:9999 bminer -uri ethash://0xb76d43eAaB2e905028a7f0F3aF13C7A84c477B9f.woker@eu1.ethermine.org:4444 bminer -uri ethproxy://0xb76d43eAaB2e905028a7f0F3aF13C7A84c477B9f.woker@eth.f2pool.com:8008 bminer -uri ethproxy://0xb76d43eAaB2e905028a7f0F3aF13C7A84c477B9f.woker@eth.waterhole.xyz:8008 bminer -uri ethproxy://0xb76d43eAaB2e905028a7f0F3aF13C7A84c477B9f.woker@eth.2miners.com:2020 bminer -uri ethproxy://0xb76d43eAaB2e905028a7f0F3aF13C7A84c477B9f.woker@eth-eu.dwarfpool.com:8008 bminer -uri ethproxy://0xb76d43eAaB2e905028a7f0F3aF13C7A84c477B9f.woker@us-west.sparkpool.com:3333 bminer -uri ethstratum://0xb76d43eAaB2e905028a7f0F3aF13C7A84c477B9f.worker@eth.coinfoundry.org:3072 bminer -uri ethstratum://foo.worker@coinotron.com:3344 bminer -uri ethstratum://foo.worker:x@us-east.ethash-hub.miningpoolhub.com:20535 Thank you very much!

I run bminer for almost 15 days and I'm very happy about it.
My question is what happens if I run two instances of bminer one for ZEN and other is for BTCP ? both on same pool (suprnova). But without configuring GPU usage. Does one intercept other ? can I fully utilize my GPU power ?
thanks.
If you run two bminer programs on the same devices, they do not intercept each other. But, like running two processes on the same computer in general, they will compete for the computation resources. And there will be some process switching cost. Will bminer adapt new Equihash algorithm? We are committed to support GPU mining. Once the community reaches a consensus on the new algorithm parameter (e.g., 144, 5), we will provide support to the new algorithm.

Definitely faster than other equihash miners. Using your nanopool quickstart settings: gtx 1080ti: 695-705 sols & gtx 1050: 160-165 sols.

New version of DSTM (0.6.1) with 2% improvement for Linux systems. I still believe it is far better than Bminer and far more accurate and reliable. I will consider switching to Bminer when the reported hashrate on the console and the one on the pool reflect the truth about the dev fee and when the reject share rate goes down. Or maybe if he considers lowering the dev fee to compesate for lower miner performance.

Thanks for your feedback, but about the hashrate, we have a really detailed explanation of it on our website. you can visit by this link. https://www.bminer.me/faq/#why-the-reported-hashrate-of-bminer-is-higher-than-the-reported-hashrate-from-mining-poolsBminer reports hashrate generated by your hardware, while a mining pool estimates the hashrate based on the number of submitted shares.

@realbminer,
With the most likely upcoming change of the equihash params from 200/9 to 144/5, is this going to be a significant re-work for your miner? Also would you be able to provide a dev build with the adjusted N and K values so that devs and pool operators can begin prepping for the change?
Since Zencash has decided to move to (144,5), we will also work on (144, 5) in future releases. We believe (144, 5) is a good set of parameter to deter ASIC. Developing an optimized version of (144, 5) is a non-trivial effort. We are investigating it and hopefully, we can release (144, 5) support next month.

Thank you for your reply. I know about that explanation still do not think is fully accurate. DSTM works the same way, reported hashrate in the console includes dev fee and counts all shares yet on the pool ( I use Flypool) the reported hashrate is really accurate. There is only a difference of 60 ish on the hashrate so for my 6 GTX 1070 Ti with average 3110 that is about 2% dev fee. Yours, from my experience, is far off those numbers and nowhere near them. Not complaining just stating a fact that is answered with some sort of an easy explanation. Keep up the good work but still a lot more to be done and a lot more transparency needed not only by means of an explanation on a web site

Hi,
Thanks for nice miner. I had been using "-watchdog=false" option which gave me a lot of flexibility. With that option, bminer terminates when it encounters some errors. However it seems there is no defined "exit status" code which can be utilized in parent process. If that was already implemented, please let us know.
I don't know CUDA programming at all but there would be many possible error cases. Not all errors are handled as "last resort recovery procedure" defined in parent process. For instance, transient network related errors wouldn't be fatal CUDA errors so parent process can wait for a while or switch to different pools. On the other hand, some errors could be recovered by system reboot only.
Possible exit status code I have in my mind are: 0 - Ok, terminated without error 1 - Command line argument error(i.e. unrecognized arguments) 2 - Terminated by a signal (i.e. SIGTERM and etc) 3 - Network error(i.e. connection establishment failure after retries) 4 - CUDA error
What's your opinion?

I think this is mainly determined by ZenCash team. there is a statement here: https://blog.zencash.com/zencash-statement-on-potential-equihash-algorithm-change/

Thank you, -pokeytex
I think I can help you with this question: if you use the launcher, you can just click the dashboard button at the bottom of the launcher. if you use mine.bat file to mine ,if api 127.0.0.1:1880 is been enabled, you should be able to visit all rig's data on your rig by visit 127.0.0.1:1880 in your explorer.

Hi, im thinking of moving my rigs from dstm to bminer.
Im wondering if it supports viabtc (username instead of zcash address used)?
I cant seem to configure it properly for viabtc pool.
Please advise

Hello @supermoew - the only problem i see is 127.0.0.1 is a local machine address. If I have (12) different rigs running at the same time will they all show up under dashboard? Because it is not working if so. I am not strong in IP address technology but I think that is where I am getting messed up.

I found it on bitcointalk just now and they added bminer, you can check people's review on it first.

Hi this is an example for using viabtc pool for mining zcash. if you want to mine eth/etc. you need to set eth address, set eth pool, also you need to SET SCHEME. since SCHEME is different from pools you need to figure out the protocol of the pool first. @echo OFF REM Change the following address to your Zcash taddr. SET ADDRESS=your zcash address SET USERNAME=%ADDRESS%.w SET POOL=zec.viabtc.com:3333 SET SCHEME=stratum START "Bminer: When Crypto-mining Made Fast" bminer.exe -uri %SCHEME%://%USERNAME%@%POOL% -api 127.0.0.1:1880

Happy mining! Equihash speed is definitely lower on 8.0.0. (at least on console) compare to 7.0.0. Let's see pool hash rate in few hours.
