Re: [ANN] Bminer: a fast Equihash miner for CUDA GPUs (5.4.0)

Can someone write a comprehensive post stating what the current red flags are about this bminer?

Recently, a ZCash forum was deleted that showed damning benchmarks that indicated the bminer hashrate log was clearly lying (reporting inflated hashrates, or lying about the dev fee).

Is it still the consensus that Bminer inflates hash-rates, and in actuality is no faster than DSTM?

Have other suspicious things been found about bminer? Sounds like people have found suspicious outgoing network activity from bminer?

There are almost fifty pages of posts about this, and its very difficult given this website's structure to go through them. If someone could write a comprehensive status report about this miner, it would surely make the world a better place.

Currently, all my gpus are running DSTM. If someone has real benchmarks (not console printouts, plebs..) comparing current performance of equihash miners that would be great.

Hello? Did you get this working? I think a lot of people are wondering the same thing? A yes or no would suffice.

This myshare thing looks pretty suspicious.

Does anyone even care why myshare is in a standalone executable and requires administrative rights?

Does anyone care that the poster "Found" this thing, and is sharing it via a zip file and not wherever the hell it came from?

Am I the only one not dumb enough to fall for this crap? Does anyone else want proof?!

Guys, bminer has been shown to inflate its reported hashrate. In the code (which nobody can see) this is really easy to do - and why wouldn't you inflate it 10% if it meant 10x more people downloading your program (which you make a lot of profit from)?

The problem is, somebody benchmarked it and showed it to be no faster than DSTM ZM, which shows a much lower hashrate.

Please stop spreading this scam miner, and by god don't install it.
