Re: [ANN] Bminer: a fast Equihash miner for CUDA GPUs (5.3.0)
I posted a detailed methodology above.
Perfect vs good is not the issue here. The issue is that you may be reporting skewed numbers which people would believe and choose the wrong miner as a consequence (you may also be unfair to one of the miners).
Yes, you can assign subsets of GPUs to miners. See the p.s. in my post above.
Flypool displays the accepted shares under the hashrate graph (the bars). You can hover your mouse over each and you'd see the exact number. That's going to be misleading though as each share has different difficulty. It's bloody HASHRATE at the pool that i kept saying matters for this test (even though payout is what you care about). Well, effective hashrate, i.e. after discarding invalid/stale shares.
It seems bminer gives more invalid/stale shares than other miners. Counting the ones you got so far (orange bars in FLypool), i see 96 invalid shares (normalized) for bminer, and 16 for dstm.
You are looking at the wrong number in dstm ... dstm does a full average on the right hand side, which stabilizes over time (doesn't jump around).
and it would be a shame if it was buried in a flurry of replies.
p.s. Incidentally, ZEC has been more profitable to mine than all other equihash coins lately (it's one of the very few coins that had an uptrend during the ongoing onslaught of cryptos, check it out).

Why mine a coin I don't think is the best in its class
That's precisely why I wrote point 6 ... but it wasn't addressed to you (you already proved that you cared about testing and already invested time in it). If that's the only bit in my methodology post that you had comments on, then it's probably far better written than I thought and it would be a shame if it was buried in a flurry of replies.p.s. Incidentally, ZEC has been more profitable to mine than all other equihash coins lately (it's one of the very few coins that had an uptrend during the ongoing onslaught of cryptos, check it out).
