switched from dstm 0.6 to bminer 6.0 to see if there was any performance gains with the bminer update

there was NOT any increased hashrate on 1070ti's and the invalid shares improvement in the changelog was not decreased.

the increase in invalid shares from dstm to bminer is pretty big.



I am not an expert neither pro Bminer, but your test or asumption is vague. You barely ran Bminer for a couple of hours and the comparason is not fair. It should be made with both miners running at the same time in different machines with exacty the same hardware and settings to have exactly the same conditions.

I do agree the invalid share rate is a bit higher. I have just started using Bminer as a try out and I have noticed exactly the same but can´t say is fair either because I am not running both miners at the same time.

With DSTM I use to get 0,2% rejected shares and with Bminer so far is nearly 0,5% but I have only been running it for the past 12 hours and been playing with the windows energy management to cut down the CPU.

This is my performance with 6 GTX 1070 Ti, 70% TDP, +200 clock, +700 memory:


And this is Flypool:


There are more fluctuations with Bminer so far, but as I said I have only used the miner for the past 12 hours and I´ve playing with the CPU energy to cut down so more Watts so It will need another 24 to 48 hours to be stable on the pool. I´ll post again the results in 24 hours
