My mining rigs are at another location. They have nothing critical on them. How much more speed are you getting as compared to EWBF? Which VB runtime do I need to install for this program to work?

Both this and dstm 0.5.8 are faster than ewbf on my machines by enough margin to make it compelling to switch, but given the stability issues I've had with bminer as well as the general shadiness of the developer (sock puppet accounts? really?), I am using dstm.



I installed VB runtime and am trying this miner. So far it seems to be getting a higher hash rate than EWBF. There is nothing to steal on my mining rigs except hashes. Rigs have not crashed yet but only been running about an hour or so.

One stability issue I had was that bminer appeared to be running normally, but hashrate at the pool dropped to zero like it was disconnected; this went on for about an hour before I noticed it.

If my rigs don't have a share during a ten minute period my mining pool emails me so I'm covered there. I check them throughout the day also to make sure they are hashing. Thanks for the info.
