50% devfee using EWBF Equihash miner 0.3.4b

[barnstable]

So, I was looking through my rigs and noticed something odd. Every other line in the console was devfee. This was happening on all my machines.

I thought this must be some kind of error. So, I restarted the processes and started counting.

Sure enough, the devfee climbed from 4/20 shares to 7/28, then 16/32 and stayed there. I tried this on different machines with restarts and it didn't go away.

I've only noticed this behavior recently but it seems EWBF is taking a 50% devfee.

I've disabled their software and highly recommend, regardless of the software you're using, that all miners ensure the actual devfee is what the devs say it is.

The same thing is happening with my 4x1070 rig, something about once per two weeks. I thought it's happening when my pool has network connection issues, but can't say for sure. Sometimes I think that I must code miner myself if I had enough time. Really tired of unpredictable fees

Huh, and people were complaining about 2%. Can't wait to see how this goes over.

Oh no, again noob accounts bashing around about miner fees for the miner that has no-fee option...

I think OP is concerned about something beside fee vs. no-fee--his post deals with an exhorbitant fee that would logically be a bug of some kind and would merit some kind of community notification to see if others using EWBF see it.

I think OP is concerned only in moving away users from miner with no devfee option. Noob with no single screenshot - I think my two posts are too big efforth for this kind of trolling.

I think it is not a problem to report what he finds.

I do not have this problem. The EWBF works well over the past two months. But it stops after mining for a few hours now. I wonder if anybody has such problem as well.

Hmmmm, perhaps you got a hold of a shady version.

EWBF has not been updated in a long time. I have been running EWBF for months and months and none of my machines magically changed the devfees. You have something else going on, possibly a bad copy of the miner that someone hacked.

or one of the dev-free versions that actually steals your hashrate

Seems like an innocent question, not warranting contempt or derision. And remember, people's screen name may say "newbie" or whatever but they may be very savvy in life, business, or even mining, just now registering with this forum. Even if they really are "noobs" or totally incompetent, they are coming for help and community. No need for attack.

I'm on equihash mining is about since zcash mining launch and used EWBF's miner since its second public version. So in my case I have original copy and I already found what's happening there. Devfee thread uses other pools than mine and when my pool get stuck with new work, devfee thread continues its work and hits much more than 2% of shares. And I found that sometimes it uses dev's account for shares that supposed to be mine and not marked as devfee, just try any kind of sniffer like wireshark etc. Those who say it's ok with original version, just did not notice that things. Anyway I still use this app but now I'm sure I need something to change about that.
