//ZM-0.6 Win vs. EWBF-0.3.4b-BTG-edition Win//
Why the accepted shares are fewer then EWBF's, even though the hashrate is bigger?
My OC settings are not so high, just core +100, power 85, temp 83, mem 0, on 6 GTX 1060 3GB hynix. Core stays under 2000MHz.
My hashrate is around 1800 with DSTM and around 1700 with EWBF. The ping time 63ms, on ZEC-flypool and ZCL-suprnova.
In EWBF I don't get rejected shares aven after 24h, no crashes, and constant acceped shares, around 5 per minute.
In DSTM I see from time to time a rejected, but the main problem is that there are very few accepted shares, like 1-2 per minute.
Why is that? I can't compare the profits because they varry from day to day. I should have 2 rigs with the same setup, but I only have 1 with cards from 3 brands.
DSTM's zm crashes more often than EWBF's with higher OC settings. With EWBF I can go with +100/+500 for a stable mining, but DSTM crashes after a few hours.
My temps are great, 50-52C, the room temp is around 10-12C, the fans are at 50%, so the temp is not the issue. I think ZM can't mannage the higher oc and becomes unstable.
This is strange for a miner that is well payed (in EWBF you can set --fee 0, but not in DSTM) and is 1 year newer than the other, with active developement, so it can benefits from new drivers and new mining techniques.
I realy want to support a miner in active developement, but with smaller performance than other options, I can't. It's all about profits afterall.
There is some misunderstanding in sentences like 'the software can't manage higher overclocking'.
The miner can't do anything to convince your hardware to be stable. All the miner does is requesting your GPUs to do some particular calculations.
So if you ask why some software crashes on unstable systems while the other one does not.
Here is some analogy. Let's say you tune your car engine (overclock) such that it goes faster than it was designed for. Now you let drive it your grandmother (program A) and a professional racer (program B). Your engine is most likely to work properly while your grandmother is driving but it will explode most likely if the racer starts driving it after some time. This is only an analogy ofc, but it makes the point clear.
Also don't forget, driving your GPUs with higher clock rate shortens it's life. The higher the clock rate the shorter it's lifespan.
