Is it normal for hash rate to drop by half on DSTM miner console, NOT on pool hash rate. I am mining equihash on nicehash or miningpoolhub.

I cant understand why it does this. The gpus are not overheating or crashing. It is just a massive reduction in hash rate that's fixed by reboot of console.

It changes the difficulty rate and then drops.


I'm having the same issue trying v0.5.6 and v0.5.7.  It starts out around 4,600 Sol/s and it slowly drops to around 2,000 Sol/s over the course of a couple of hours.  Running SMOS and have tried mining several equihash coins at a couple of different pools with the same results.  Rebooting makes it go back up to 4,600 Sol/s it then it slowly drops down again.  Temperatures are all <55C with a target of 75C.  Servers seem to be changing GPU difficulties often.  Overclocks set to 0 while I try to figure this out.

Same issue here, playing card roulette right now. It seems to only happen when one of my cards is in, what I have done so far:
1. Removed all overclocks
2. Watt use is at 110 for 1070ti's, 120 for 1070, and 200 for 1080ti's (note: all hash rates drop, the 1080ti's in particular hit the 500's)
3. Swapped entire riser on suspect gpu
4. Swapped pci ports, tested pci port with alternative gpu
5. Looked at wattage use of cards when they drop, cards all drop power down well below my set wattage. So the power drop I think is the cause of  less hash, what's causing the power drop I am unsure of.

dtsm 0.5.6 (trying 5.7 now)
10 cards currently (have had various amounts between 9-13)

EDIT: So far so good on new version, but judging by change log this is just luck right now.

I have the same issue.

Hashrate decreases after running a time (few hours).

Tested on SMOS dstm-v0.5.8 (0.5.7, 0.5.6 is same)
5 Rig P106-100 x12 (on main H110 Pro BTC)

When the hashrate dropped, the screen appeared a lot of duplicated share message, at the same time cpu usage is very high.

However, sometimes I can run nearly a day that hashrate not decrease. Sad

Judging by the reports this seems to affect SMOS users only.
How do you monitor the solution rate on SMOS, does it provide a custom interface?
Could you also pls provide the output of the 'top' command sorted by cpu usage and the output of nvidia-smi, before and after the solution rate drop?

OK. I can moniter SMOS via ssh client (putty)

Best regards.

Thx, for providing this data.                                                                                                  
You have a lot 'nvidia-settings' processes running in your 'After top' output. This could be the reason for the performance drop.
