Re: [ANN] dstm's ZCash / Equihash Nvidia Miner v0.6 (Linux / Windows)
Hi Guys, I'm having a few problems with my DSTM miner and wondered if any of you have come across the error before. Unfortunately my mining keeps getting interrupted every minute or so with the following error:
recv failed: 10054
https://ibb.co/f5Dn6n
any help/suggestions would be much appreciated, I have already tried alternate pools so I have ruled that out. I may try another miner but from what I've heard DSTM is the best for equihash so i'd much rather stick with it. Any ideas??

Yes. Wireless connection good for tits, cats, and stupid youtube movies. For stable works - wire only, without variants.
Now if you can avoid it, yes Wireless isn't good for everything. Though I've had a rig, now going on 6+ months, wireless only. Works perfectly fine delivering results.
BTW updated to 0.6 now, really haven't noticed any difference on my side of things.
2x 1060 6GB (80%, 235+ Core, 400+ Mem) average me around 325 Sols each.
1x 1080TI (90%, 200+ Core, 500+ Mem) averages me still around 750 Sols.
Though playing with my 1060's a little more recently since I was able to drop the run temps by almost 10C, figured I could get a little more out of them. Very happy with the setups and up times. 30+ days straight on my 1060 rig before I started tweaking, case switch and windows updates.
Re: [ANN] dstm's ZCash / Equihash Nvidia Miner v0.6 (Linux / Windows)
Hi. What is your driver version?
I have 1060 3gb like yours. When i start zm. Hashrate is 310 sol. Then (after 1-2h) the hashrate will decrease to 260-270

Over 60° the cards start to throttle. Only 1-5 %. At 70° they throttle even more. Keep below 60° to get Full Power. Thats my experience with 3 setups with 1060 3/6GB, 1070TI and 1080TI.
And thats why your hashrate goes down after a while, cause VRMs/GPU and MEM is hot and the card slowy begin to throttle.
My setup after hours of mining:

Total - 2739.51 4.09 660.44
The ambient temperature is 12° (thx winter)
Im using Win7 and the cards have these settings:
GTX 1060 3GB hynix: GPU +240 MEM +400 PL 60%
GTX 1070 TI : GPU +180 MEM +600 PL 60%
GTX 1080 TI : GPU +160 MEM -100 PL 60%
Theres a little room for stability. 1080 Ti runs since 1 year 24/7 with these settings without hassle. I prefer a rock stable system.
In a downtime you are losing money. So a little lower performance is okay for me.
If... If your cards are throttling at 60C it's because you dropped your powerlimit and didn't raise your temp threshold.
I got 1060 6GB with Hynix Ram doing doing 330-330 no problems. They run anywhere from 58-65C. I've had them near 70 too with the same results. The cards can do it you just have to make sure when you drop the powerlimit that you unlock it from the thermal threshold and set it to a reasonable temp.
Room Temp: 16-20C
GTX 1060 6GB hynix: GPU +250 MEM +400 PL 80%: 320-330H/sec :Temp 58-65C (2 different rigs reason why big temp flux)
GTX 1080 TI : GPU +200 MEM +500 PL 90%: 745-755H/sec: Temp 59-62C
My thermal limit is set to 75C currently but going to drop it to 70C when I switch out cases.
Re: [ANN] dstm's ZCash / Equihash Nvidia Miner v0.5.8 (Linux / Windows)
Hi, love your miner! Getting average of 730.8 sol/s with a 1080ti at 85% powerlimit +177 core @57oC. Much better than EWFB's miner
But I have a small "hobby rig" and was curious if support for kepler gpu's will be available? Please say yes
If not, why? 
Thanks for a great miner

1080ti crashes at those settings in less than couple hours if not right away.
Nice try.
hobby rig of k80s?
You can get pretty good FPS in Crysis on those...
The miners work on all Nvidias as far as I know.
May have to recompile them from source. Send me your rack of 8 k100s and I will do it. I have done it for AMD, CPU and other Nvidia miners.
My MSI GeForce GTX 1080 Ti GAMING TRIO works pretty fine on PL85%, Core +175, Mem +535, Fan Auto ~48%, ~68°C = 749 Sol/s in DSTM
So does my ASUS STRIX ROG 1080Ti OC on powerlimit 81%, +190 core, 390 mem, fan auto, around 52°C = 730-750Sol/s DTSM, 24/7
I feel bad my EVGA 1080Ti iCX on powerlimit of 90%, +200 core, +500 mem, fan follows curve I setup, around 61C = 745-750Sol/s in DSTM, 24/7 the past month.
Guess I have to look at tweaking mine, I know if I went down lower on the power limit my rates did drop to around 725 Sol/s @ 85% TDP if not mistaken.
Re: [ANN] dstm's ZCash / Equihash Nvidia Miner v0.5.8 (Linux / Windows)
So for sure liking this miner over EWBF im seeing about a 30sol/s jump in miner and a 50sol/s jump in pool and my projected earnings are ACTUALLY what they should be after dev fee and not 10% less like EWBF... Now my GPU is liquid cooled and mines at 40*c so my results arent exactly normal....but with a GTX 1080 (non ti) Power+12% core +125 Mem +500 for 2100Mhz on core and 6000Mhz on memory Im pushing AVG:643 Sol/s in miner....thats not even the best part... on pool after 24hrs my 24hr average hash rate is 697sol/s
Actually I just noticed this the other day where I switched to this miner it was considerably faster.
Now I figured out why the EWBF was running slower than this is because the clock speed and frame buffer isn't utilized as well. About a 25-50Mhz on core and 4-6% lower frame buffer made it slower than dstm's miner. Enjoy the additional performance!
Hi guys i have a 1060GTX and it has 19.8 Mh/s, bad deal. Regards
Question is that OCed? If it is sounds like Hynix memory, if not sounds closer to Micron memory.
Just tweaked mine in a little more but still messing around actually. I got a EVGA 1060 6GB SC edition card. Im mining Zcash.
Originally was +230 Core (1850-1900Mhz) and +400 Mem (4200Mhz) = 323 Sols/S average with 80% TDP (96W) ~3.35 Sols/W
New Adjustment +325 Core (1797-1809Mhz) and +400 Mem (4200Mhz) = 316 Sol/S average with 72% TDP (86.4W) ~3.68 Sols/W

Samsung or Hynix?
Crappy Hynix ram. I can do +600 or +800 doing Eth but no gains after +400 on zec, actually get less due to it down clocking the core more.
Right now in the process of tweaking the voltage curve and clocks so its not bouncing between things but probably be a few days or a week for me to tweak it. At the low TDP setting my voltage is below the vchart since it sits around 775mV and the chart starts at 800mV. And just had a fail after 5 hours of running the lower TDP, first for me actually. So probably requires a sligthly lower clock at that TDP to mine properly.
Tinker around 60-70% Power limit and anywhere from 100-135 on core 400-500 memory.
Cool, they run at 60-70% without dropping in performance? That is pretty neat.
Yeah definitely not an issue dropping the TDP and giving it a little extra on the core. The voltage curve / core frequency that is programed into the bios really gives it a pretty good flexibility.
asus 1060 3gb dual Mine are running for months with 60% TDP, +100 clock, +380 mem (it is Hynix)
fan is at 50% and temp are around 50-51C which is good for me.
It can probably do a bit more but I like to play safe +my electricity is costly.
p.s. this card is crap on ETH (and crap as a whole for mining but that`s another story) so don't even try it on ETH.
Go for equihash and other algos.

I'm using liquid cooled GPUs and well, I woke up to one of the hoses broken and the liquid leaked onto the hard drive area. The MOBO boots up and if I load a USB drive with Windows it reads it. The problem is the hard drive says 0 available space and won't let me create a partition. I'm assuming it's shot?
In short, won't boot from hard drive.
In short, won't boot from hard drive.
So it won't boot from the drive but you can physically read it still? Seems odd if the HDD is shot and can read it still.
Is this a Mechanical HDD or SSD?
Re: Blower fans , 2 fans or 3 fans which is the better technology for mining?
I'm seeing Vega and the nvida branded cards all have blower style fans now
Should we be looking for blower fan gpus vs the 2 and 3 fan gpu,?
well basically custom heat sink are better so 2 and 3 fan gpu cards can be way cooler and last longer specially for mining in the long term i have few turbo 1 fan 1070 and 1080s they reach 74 or even 80 easily because they only have one fan.Should we be looking for blower fan gpus vs the 2 and 3 fan gpu,?
So why are all the official video card makers AMD and Nvidia making blower styles now for their flagship models?
If 2 or 3 fans are better then 1 in cooling why have AMD and Nvidia crippled their flagship line up?
I sit here with cash in hand trying to figure it out. I have an msi areo 1070 that's a blower style. The only thing I think it does is keep everything cool. I hear the 2 and 3 fans the heat stays around the case and makes all the components really hot.. the whole card gets hot where my gpu is not hot to the touch
So now if after market 3 fan gpus are better then Nvidia which has been the best permorminl
Now while manufactures make a reference card, they only intend to make the card function and the specified speeds/performance. So while the card might get warm/hot, it functions within their spec for speeds at the cheapest cost. Now you move to a Vendor card that has modified the heatsink or even the PBC slightly to help improve efficiency/cooling. Even a single fan might cool better due to a different design.
2-3 Fans are optimal, along with the additional improvements that are done to the heatsinks with vendors vs manufacture reference cards. Over all the cards I've had over the years 2 fans seem to do better than 3 fans on the card. Having a case fan actually blow across the card and sucking cold air from outside the case, does more than the 3rd fan on it typically. Each to their own but if buying I typically will look at an improved heatsink design even if its a few bucks more as it will keep the card cooler and clock higher. Now that is coming from a gamer/overclocker on the PCs perspective.
As a reference I mine zec.
I have 2 different setups and I actually get more stale shares on my hardwired home setup vs my remote wifi setup (different location). Kinda weird but yes percentages are very low as in maybe 1% of those shares every few hours. I can go days and not get a single one, and then sometimes I will get a few (what ends up being 16 at a time) during 1 10min block.
I've only noticed stale shares on my 1080TI of the few cards I do run. Its the only one that does it.

PC gaming will die in 2018!
Doubt it will be the case but it will seriously hurt it, and VR options, if gamers can't get their hands easily on the high end cards.
Re: [ANN] dstm's ZCash / Equihash Nvidia Miner v0.5.8 (Linux / Windows)
Does anyone's hashrates fall after some time with dstm? I've got 8x1070's and I start around 3,700-3,800 sols and it eventually settles around 3,500-3,600 after about 1 hour.
Only time I've notice a measurable decrease is when it gets hotter. If it stays cooler I'll get higher hash rates (just starting the program from a cool down) and will slightly decrease a few hashes after really 10-15min at most. If you watch it you'll see the decline yourself in the manager.Re: [ANN] dstm's ZCash / Equihash Nvidia Miner v0.5.8 (Linux / Windows)
Get acrefawn's automonitor and
Limit TDP by locking voltage in AB rather than setting max TDP (ctrl+f > select point > L > Apply)
Limit TDP by locking voltage in AB rather than setting max TDP (ctrl+f > select point > L > Apply)
what the heck is this tool?? google dont find anything seems
Hes talking about the frequency chart in MSI Afterburner that is on nVidia cards. Typically its used for trying to maximize the OC on a card.
What he is talking about is using it to limit the voltage on the card so its not jumping up/down constantly to get a steady clock essentially. Actually not a bad idea and I might consider "tweaking" my setup to do that actually.
Re: Very first tests P104-100: 39 Mh/s ETH; 470 sol/s ZEC - Nice GPU!
Curious about this myself. As others have mentioned it seems closer to a 1070 card with GDDR5X memory than a 1080 card just with the hash rates on Zec Mining that was shown.
When I was playing around with Eth on my EVGA 1080ti iCX I managed to get 37.7-38.2MH/sec and could push it into 40-41MH/sec range but wasn't 100% stable. Nifty little card indeed if pushing that much, better power consumption as well. Mine ran with about 88% TDP to get these results.

An article was released today and it stated that the gtx 1080 ti is going for $ 1500 and vega for $2000, so my advice to you is buy crypto, dont waste time with mining at current prices, even if the gtx 1080 ti was $600 I would stick to buying and holding the coin cause buying and holding past 2 years gave 1800% while mining only 230%.
Whoever wrote that article is a dumb fuck.
Titan XP right here for $1138 and its the star wars one direct from Nvidia:
https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/products/10series/star-wars-jedi-order-titan-xp-collectors-edition/
Yup. Someone sold their Vega 64 for $1200 and bought the Titan XP there was a write up the other day.
And really 1080ti's are going for $1000-1150 not $1500.
My hobby is mining, I cant afford to drop £700 into the chain as If I loose all my money its gone I like the investment with having hardware to fall on if the industry collapses atm because of bitcoin drop Whatotmine shows really low figures I guess we are waiting for alt coins to catch up as well
I'm small time only got a few cards going, but like you its just a new hobby to check it out. I rather buy a card and mine, vs buying crypto. Sure I might make more if I buy a certain currency at the time but mining is a heck of a lot safer if the market drops out at least you still have a card that you can sell.
Should I hold off buying another 1080ti I am currently mining with 1080ti and 1070 through Nemos to AHASHPOOL. I can get another 1080ti for £700 but should I just wait for the next Nvidia GPU lines ?
Any advice would be helpful
Any advice would be helpful
Just look at how much a 1080ti makes you per day. if it pays for itself within 3-4 months or more, or less, why wait for a gpu line that hasn't even been announced yet?
Heck even if you have the card for a month or two before the new card comes out it still retains value and can sell it if thats the case.
If your looking invest in it now, and you can always turn around and sell it later and still get the new card. I'm curious about the 2080's as well but will wait til partner boards are out with the better than stock cooling solutions.
Re: [ANN] dstm's ZCash / Equihash Nvidia Miner v0.5.8 (Linux / Windows)
I tried my new 10x ASUS STRIX 1080ti OC cards today with 0.58 and got wonderful 740-760 Sol/s at 80% TDP@temperature 48-53 degrees celsius with each card Looking forward for 1080ti optimization!
Looking forward for 1080ti optimization!80% TDP! Dang I might have to look a little more at my card a little more if you can can do that.
Water cooled by chance or just really good air cooling?
Re: [ANN] dstm's ZCash / Equihash Nvidia Miner v0.5.8 (Linux / Windows)
well on my 1080ti's i can get 3.4-3.6sol/w. my cards are hot tho, up to 70C. Im getting about 685-695 sols with 80% tdp. If they were running at <50C, I bet you can get close to 4sol/w
Solo my card ran at 58-60C, though with the other card in the rig it sits at 64C with the 90% TDP. If I stuck my PC in the garage right now I'm sure I'd get fantastic temps since its about -10C or so out.
