Re: [ANN] dstm's ZCash / Equihash Nvidia Miner v0.6 (Linux / Windows)

Hello all,

Can someone show me an example of a bat file configured (WINDOWS VERSION) so I just have to put pool and worker info? I have to switch to DSTM as EWBF is a dead project.

Your assistance will be much appreciated.

Regards,
Hristo

I'll bite. I need more posts I guess.

Pick a place for your thingy to live and replace the folder with that location. You'll need it later if you monitor the task, otherwise ignore.

Code:
@cd /d C:\mydstmdir\
@zm --server us1-zcash.flypool.org --port 3333 --user t1MehZfBsfM8aYc2BGJFLaKh6vby14vRwit.rigid --pass x  --telemetry=0.0.0.0:54321 --color

Code:
tasklist /nh /fi "imagename eq zm.exe" | find /i "zm.exe" || (start C:\mydstmdir\flypool.cmd)

The second one, you can make a scheduled task to run at logon, delay some seconds or minutes, re-run every 5 minutes. It sends replaces your connected server with mine and gives me all your fake money OR it checks if zm is running and if not it runs your bat file.  If it's the latter then you don't even run the first bat, the 2nd does it.

Hi,

Can someone please explain how the telemetry thingy works?
Lets says I added  --telemetry=127.0.0.1:4444, how do I 'listen' from another computer (particularly over the web and not in the local network)?

Thanks Smiley

just change the 127.xxxx to the local network IP of your miner... like 192.168.x.x
better yet use 0.0.0.0 because people asking this don't know how to set static ip in dhcp server,this will use any available ip on computer

this will allow you to use it on local lan,if you want over the internet,go educate yourself for example here: https://portforward.com/ how to forward port on your external ip to internal ip:port of your miner (also check firewall,be it windows or some linux iptables)

(i also suggest to make the lease static on your router so you don't need to change it usually after power loss)

Hi, thanks but I think I wasn't clear - I know how to set IP and static IP but what do I need to do from the REMOTE computer in order to receive the data from the miner?

I think what you're looking for is port forwarding in your router or a thing like hamachi to make it easier at the expense of installing more software.  Also, as far as I know, telems are get not push so mining machine won't be like, "hey person's workstation have my infos" but rather "hey entire internets, here's all my things."

Personally, I would avoid doing this outside of your own network because; super trustworthy person-with-idle-hands scans default ports, finds a person mining in his/her neighborhood, convinces ISP that you've been downloading very copywrite boxoffice movie and would like to to send your settlement papers, gets your address, sends minion to loot your rig, breaks other stuff just because you locked the door, profit.

An alternative; consider what you give to the internets.

Does anyone know what is IFC circulating supply right now? Smiley
I believe IFC has about 90 billion coins that have almost all been mined right now. So the coin is maxed out at the moment, that might be because this coin has been around for many many years

30 second block time and huge block reward, even with reward halving, was designed to fully disperse within a short timespan.

Default coded supply fully mined couple years back if I'm not mistaken. Search max minable, block time, block reward to math it out if you're particularly curious.

Re: [ANN][LTZ] LitecoinZ - The true Litecoin 2.0

Interesting coin, in my opinion! But I want to learn more about this amazing coin, where is your roadmap?

Since it's evidently the true Litecoin + zk, maybe it = whatever LTC does + whatever ZEC does - time to amalgamate

That said, the repo has been busy but surprised to see keeping exact same major. minor.patch as Zcash. Not interesting coin to me but then again, I was that guy that thought 2014 was the time to dump all my BTC Sad

Check better our code on github. We have some more pull request not yet implemented in ZEC and we are working on backports from Bitcoin 0.12+

We are also working on a native QT interface missed in others ZEC forks

We are open to new ideas, so if you have some let us know or, if you are a developer and you like to contribute, start to develop them by yourself pulling the code on out repo.

Thanks

That's what I meant about still having the same major.minor.patch as zcash! I did notice all the activity that predated the ann which is what I was trying to say about thinking it would have had increased minor ver for the changes having been done already. Didn't mean to come off abrasive, I think it's just a birth defect Sad

Are you referring to things like claymore, dstm, gateless gate #, ewbf, etc? Just different folks writing variously optimized software.

yes these other things what do they do thats so special if they dont give you any power and you cant mix and match video cards, what can you do with the software?

none of this software can make my 1070 more powerful then whats the point? any real world examples of what these things can do?

I'm going to go out on a limb here and assume you've only headed this route because someone has told you that you can make invisible money to do digital drugs or whatever so it sounds like it might behoove you to take a step back and ask why can't a thing do something instead of why can't I make more digital drugs so here goes;

  • mix & match GPU doesn't work w/ windows because of how display drivers work. search DDU to find a thing that someone made because even left over mix/match display drivers don't like each other.
  • different invisible cryptothings use different algos to do it a different way. now you learn more copycoins than unique algorithms
  • different algos will work different ways so, sometimes, you'll find that different underlying architecture can be exploited to perform a calculation faster. go much simpler by searching CPU optimization and feature sets
  • after some researching into what GPU you want to buy next, check MSRP and don't pay 150% + if you ever want to ROI. Now you cooked a card and more stuff because you neglected its TDP and/or assumed 180W 1080 wouldn't draw too much from your 250W drug store special computer but you learn that CPU and HDD have published TDP as well or you learn about a killawatt
  • this wall of text you decide to only read the last line and goto whattomine.com and see how different arch can vary from one algo to the next and you go buy Titan Xp. again, you let the ghost out because it has even higher TDP and you just missed some clues on things to go search and learn more better

Would be also good to have a time scheduler. So can mine different coins at different times of the day and switch automatically. Or is there something like that already?

check nicehash for ideas maybe

Don't really want to just sell GPU time on nicehash. Would rather choose specifically what to mine and when.

I could code such a scheduler application myself but kind of lazy to do it heh.

I meant for if you wanted to make it multi algo so a user can see what their hardware would be best suited mining then go all in on whatever looks best or auto shapeshift/changelly if they wanted max pseudo-instantaneous earnings.

I think this would be the perfect time to restart IFC and get it listed somewhere else, multiple exchanges

Fisheater and techshare we're both PM'd about rebooting IFC development and keeping current bc but I'm just a messenger and still called newb here because I usually just lurk for so many years. So fisheater  pm was blocked from my newbness.

Edit for things I forgot; might make more sense to pass Dev on to the East though.

Do their promised earnings on prof. calculator match actual earnings once you start selling your GPU power to NH?


Not a clue to be honest. I don't mine with it but I have used it in the past to quick benchmark hashrate of a small box of random cards.

Maybe you're wanting to play the odds solo mining is why you're not asking in altcoin? Chances are you could live a few thousand lives before chancing to win block and fees using GPU to mine for BTC.

Adjust aim and look to nicehash benchmark to get the numbers you're after and remember sha254 and scrypt GPU days have long since passed.
