Price of zcash is really low.  Did anything change?.. should I keep mining?

New Versin 0.6.2

- fix ssl handshake failures.
- fix device selection bug introduced in 0.6.1
- make linux performance improvements introduced in 0.6.1 optional
  via 'mq-solver' parameter (due to issues on some systems)
- improve device initialization on large systems


This version fixes 'SSL_connect failed r:2 error:14094410:SSL routines:ssl3_read_bytes:sslv3 alert handshake failure' errors which prevented zm from connecting to pools. Performance improvements introduced in 0.6.1 for linux systems caused issues on systems which use only 1 PCI-E lane - this optimization is disabled now by default. You can enable it using the introduced 'mq-solver' parameter in 0.6.2.


Great to see new updates!  Very positive to see this with all the negativity.  Ignore all crap and keep going!  I've done developer work and it's a pain.

zec is way down now.. including btc.. unless you have free power I suppose, it's not worth mining at the moment.

What's a +*?    Never seen it before.  6.1 windows 10

a kiss for our dev Smiley

Smiley  Roger that.  Devs deserve it.

Just saw this  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4466962.0

Anyone tried it yet?.. and is it actually the same ewbf dev?
I tried it and it work very well  since days : I have the Cuda 8 version (Cuda 9 have some issues with Ubuntu kernell and NVidia driver).
Thousands share without any rejected share :-).
no rejects with cuda 9.2, try (144,5 and 192,7 algo)

Thanks!  I'll give it a test.  edit.. (looks like cuda 9.2 is linux./ I'm on windows).. will try the other one.

I'd like to see some asic miners reply here.. and to see if they are actually mining zcash.

anyone else noticed the price drop in zec. how low will it go with asic mining taking over?

Yep.. both my miners are almost 1000 sol/s lower.. but the graph on flypool looks higher.  Not sure what is up.

I bet Nviidia is in on this too.  Why would they not be.   They want us to buy newer cards to drive up their stocks, especially since it's a slow time on their graphs on the 'in between' of new cards coming out.

ive been trying to troubleshoot problemati gpu(s) in dstm 0.6.1 with SMOS, and it seems like 1 or 2 of my cards have issues so im using "--dev 0 1 2 4 5" to run all but one card at a time

however, its resulted in the console outputting only the stats of gpu#4 line after line. no stats are given for the other cards or overall hashrate

i should be getting 1600-2000sols if 5 cards are functional - and i do seem to get that poolside, but the lack of console output makes tuning tough

UPDATE: running either card 4 and/or card 5 alone reveals that both work terribly (either giving only stats for one gpu, or doing nothing at all except getting difficulty changes and rebooting.

i know the cards are problematic, but in windows they cooperated at aleast - i dont know what the issue is here (swapping risers is my next step)

Yeah, you gotta go through the power cable swap,.. riser swap steps.  I ended up getting a different power supply and it fixed all my woes here.  (thermaltake much better than evga here)
And make sure you give enough time for the card to be recongnized.. almost 5  to 10 minutes sometimes.

Thank you guys!
Very good result for my rig 6x 1070ti

Equihash algoritm:
Average rate - 3.38 KSol/s
Energy per card - Sol/w 4.20


to get 4 souls/watt on a 1070 ti, means you have the TPD about 58-60% lol you should post you're config cause I just dont see that type of hash rate with that low of TPD.

That is actually not true. I have 6 GTX 1070 Ti and get 4.12 sols/W average between the 6 cards and all of them are running at 70% TDP. The best one it is doing 4.23 sols/W. Have a look




No need to go that low but still I am surprise about the performance difference on the hashrate. I average 3107 maximun 3111 and he is doing 200 more sols average. Are you using Windows or Linux? and what driver version?

Interesting AB settings.  I thought most were closer to this..
power limit 86
temp 72
core clock 133
mem clock 585

.. I tried your settings and output is basically the same... but..
67c   537 sol/s   295 i/s   3.43 s/w   (on my end.. 1080's)

New Version 0.6.1

I'm releasing 0.6.1 (an update of the 0.6 branch) instead of the planned 0.7 (based on new architecture) - mainly because 0.7's development takes more time than expected and due the recent events. It contains some bug fixes and improvements you have asked for. 0.6.1 improves the performance on linux-system by about 2% - unfortunately it's not possible to take advantage of this particular improvement on windows-systems. I've slightly changed the terminal-ui so if you're parsing it be aware of it. There is a second incompatibility: the cmd-line parameter '--temp-target' supports now the configuration of individual GPUs, it's syntax has changed because of this.

0.6.1
- fix failover-pool not switching back on ssl errors
- fix failover-pool not switching back on some servers
- add support for stratum's client.reconnect rpc
- support configuration of 'temp-target', 'intensity', 'pool' via cmd-line parameters
- report current difficulty and target on term-ui
- sort output by gpu_id on term-ui
- colorize temperature above 70°C on term-ui
- report intended fan speed on term-ui, web-ui, json-rpc
- report power consumption on term-ui
- improve performance on linux systems by ~2%

Thx!!

Question,. I'm getting one card color as dark orange sometimes on the end.. almost red.. says 605?    .. what is this?



It's network latency.

Thanks  Running great now for almost 24hrs

Just a few quick questions...  so when, "server sets difficulty",.. is it set and locked?.. because when I up the settings on my cards while running in afterburner,.. I would expect my sol/s to go up.. but they stay the same.
Maybe I should launch cards with higher settings (in afterburner) to get a better difficulty rate?
Should I not change card settings after launching bat file?
Also, if I change afterburner settings while running,. does it stay on the same pool?.. Or is it better to restart miner to reconnect.. where it looks like it does the "server sets difficulty" again.

thx all

I just noticed a new server on Flypool for USA  .  us1-zcash.flypool.org   Runs a little faster on my end so far.  Maybe dstm can make it faster?

I'm not sure I'm understanding this.

Even more puzzling is that this server has been online for quite awhile; months, at least.



My apologies.. but I haven't checked Flypool server updates in a while.  Eu1 still seems faster after tests here.

The closest server to me in the US was eu1,. .now there is a us1 for Flypool.  Was just guessing if any network improvements could be made based upon the new location.

Hi DSTM,

Can you please add --PEC option as on EWBF cuda miner.

--pec shows you gpu wat usage as well as sols per watt.


Thank you!
You already have sols per watt, but the power consumption in watts would be nice.
What do you think DSTM?

ZM will report the power consumption of each GPU in 0.6.1
Very nice feature :-).
Any hahsrate improvement is possible ?

Yeah.. that is cool.
I have a small lame request.. how about a beep noise when it fails?.. or pick the windows sound when it fails?   I usually would love to know when it fails, but I'm never looking at the screen.  I guess there is the email send on flypool.
