When will nvOC release with ZM included? I'm keen to see the difference Wink


I can't answer that but for those chomping at the bit to try ZM or for those who start with the 19-1.3 image and are missing it, the way to get it (commands taken from 2unix):

Code:
   cd /tmp
   wget --no-check-certificate 'https://docs.google.com/uc?export=download&id=0B3ra23kLdr5lVUJoal9vdV85UDQ' -O v0019-13.zip
   cp v0019-13.zip '/home/m1/Downloads'
   rm v0019-13.zip
   cd /home/m1/Downloads
   unzip v0019-13.zip
   cd /home/m1/Downloads/v0019-13

   pkill -f 3main
   pkill -e screen

   rm -r /home/m1/zec/zm
   mv zm /home/m1/zec
   
   sudo reboot

I chose not to clutter it up with comments but I can if needed. In a nutshell, this code just gets the .3 update package which includes the missing ZM miner and puts it in the location where 3main expects it to be. After doing this, you can toggle your ZM_or_EWBF back to ZM in 1bash and start mining with the new miner.

I tried dstm ZM miner for a week and was not so happy with it
Most important,  cpu utilization was too high, with EWBF my cpu usage is around 10-15%, with ZM it is over 60%
Hash rate looks more stable though. with ewbf gpu utilization is playing 98-100, but ZM has all GPU locked on 100%
And I had a wierd problem with ZM, I disconnect network, and ZM was only showing "Slow Network" for over 15 minutes.
Dont know where it gets the works to keep all gpus at full 100%
