So I've been testing Bminer for a few days now and I am going back to DSTM's miner (zm).
First off, everyone else should be doing their own tests and make their own judgement. Take my results with a grain of salt. I started this test because I tried out no devfee option on this miner and saw pretty much no change whatsoever on the hash rate which was really strange.
Hardware: 5 x GTX 1070
Testing methodology: Start miner. Take note of Sol/s. Wait 24 hour. After the first 24 hour, take note of Debit AP. Wait another 24 hour, take note of Debit AP.
Note: Second Debit AP is what I used in this table to keep this short. Of course, testing for longer than this will give more accurate results but this is enough for me. DO YOUR OWN TEST.
Miner | | Average Sols | | Dev Fee | | Payout Last 24HR |
Bminer | | 2510 | | Yes | | 0.12886265 |
Bminer | | 2510 | | No | | 0.12936028 |
DSTM's (zm) | | 2440 | | Yes | | 0.14198767 |
As I said before, there's no difference in hash rate whether you're running with dev fee or not. During these tests, I check whattomine everyday for their 24 hour estimated rewards; it was around 0.145. This is just an estimation but I think it's a good guideline of what you should be paid as it has been accurate for me for months and months.
I think the hash rate shown is padded and I will be going back to DSTM's in the mean time.
Can other people test no devfee option? Anyone else keeping track of their payouts?
this is ridiculous. what kind of scientific methodology is that? decide for whatever you want if you play with random results.
go back in the thread. I was running both miners for 4 or 5 days on the same rig with the same system config and 4 same cards for each miner. This means that I averaged out most of if not all randomness which is there to average out. And I got ca. 6-7% better results from the pool hash rate stats and not some random debit credit which also depends on a hell lot of factors beyond your control.
really, before you post any message like that think whether you compare apples to apples or it is google to apples and then stop complaining about what you see. because you just cannot compare the way you do
First, I didn't say it was scientific at all wtf... I was lining out what I was doing, and I did say that people should do their own test and come to their own conclusion. If this miner is better for you then you use it. Same with EWBF vs DSTM miner. I even put in TWO places that people should do their own tests and to take my results with a grain of salt.
Second, I mine on suprnova so hash rate doesn't mean shit because suprnova doesn't display accurate hash rate. This is why I used payout because in the end all that matters is how much you get paid.
Third, how do you explain that no devfee and devfee have the exact same hash rate even though it clearly says in the documentation that no devfee will not be as optimized?
Lastly, I did look at your post and you did the exact same thing except for more days... you also used payout amount as the deciding factor lmao. I don't know what pool you used but suprnova has large total hash rate for the coin I'm mining which mean there is very little variance.
LET ME REPEAT AGAIN.
People should do their own test and form their own conclusion. This is just mine.
