I noticed that your compiled version of 0.5a keeps GPU usage constant at 100% vs. 0.5c by Nicehash.  I get moderately better Sol/s running two instances of your version of 0.5a vs. Nicehash current release of 0.5c.

it would be nice if somebody compiled the miner for old cards.i can myself,but i need to install ubuntu and understand the system of compilation and possible errors.if someone will do it quickly and it is not too much trouble,i would be very grateful for that.and I think I'm not the only one.

New version is unstable, I ran for a week without crashes on previous version,With exact settings as 4b it crashed twice overnight on eqm_v1.0.4c_Win64

Lol nice Hashrate, with GTX 1060 took me like 20 days to reach minimun payment with NiceHash, i had to move mining ZEC directly and seems more profitable. 1$ per day with 250SOL/sec. It's weid with NiceHash EQM give to me 210-250Sol/Sec 0 stability, but with another pool 250Sol/sec.

For me - the latest version is very unstable. I've got crashes a lot in compare with previous one.

Wow!
Nice to meet you!

Ps: of course if you release you miner open source, i will lost a lot of my users. But whole community must be grateful to me because my actions lead to this decision Happy new year!

If you are Robinhood and want to protect miners from dev fees, then lay out a miner that not locked on nicehash.
More like what you are simply unhappy that we have miner with a similar hashrate, and use the normal pools, not nicehash

[WARNING]

EWBF is fake. He is using our EQM to make 2% fee on it.
He is always one step behind as you may noticed.

It is sad, because we have paid big bucks for the EQM's source, just to protect our miners from the dev fee. And here we go again, a dev fee. He is not a Robin Hood, he is practically leasing our miner for a 2% dev fee! Is this something you support? I would understand he would stole it and release the source, but no. He is egoistic like that.

Actions like this are delaying our miner development and its quality.

STOP using his software or ask him to release HIS source first.

We have another speedup ready, mostly beneficial to GDDR5X cards (Titan X Pascal will go over 600 for sure). Stock GTX 1070 gets 390 Sol/s.

We have decided to release source of miner and open it up to work on every pool in near future. We will prepare full statement why we have decided that.

Regarding linux: somewhere along the line of optimisations, linux version simply stopped working correctly (is giving incorrect results). We do not have enough man power (+ there are holiday times) to track down the issue, but I am sure community will find it and fix once we release the source.

I would contend that most people enjoy higher earnings, you can test this easily by unlocking your miner to other pools, let the stats speak for themselves.

Hello,

I am mining on Ubuntu16.04 using GTX 1080.EQM version is 1.0.3b.
GTX1080 is overclocking.But my Sol is about 295.
Is Ubuntu's rate lower than Windows?

I registered some time ago and i am not an author. My AV didn't find any viruses or any danger in util. English is not my language. I using miners, reading themes but it's difficult to me to wrote right.
On this theme all paranoidically writes that utility is fake. Thats why i decided to check it and wrote.
Believe me or author or not - it's your bussines. But why all of you just didn't try and check?

I get this sometimes on my rigs

Restarting the miner helps

Yes I wish they could do one build and one build only for vista 64 bit. I think it's mcvs 2013 or mcvs 2012. After that I won't ask for any future improvements. Just one time nicehash.  thx

So far the best miner available. I am getting about 220 mh/s per each GTX 1070 (mining with 7GPU) + the processor. Unfortunately the profits calculated by the nicehash are about 15-25% lower than those on whatto mine. Maybe it has something to do with the conversion of Zcash to BTC automatically - i couldn't find the conversion rate anywhere, but I am not sure ATM.

Thanks to all those who explained why they prefer Claymore/Windows over silentarmy/Linux.

To rednoW who said "And Claymore is faster, especially on Tahiti" -> this is not true, silentarmy matches or surpasses Claymore even on Tahiti (especially when taking into account its 2.5% dev fee).

Anyway it is apparent to me that many features (temp/fan monitoring, pool failover, Windows support, etc) are what you guys want in a miner. So I will take this into consideration to prioritize my future developments. But on the other I agree with the 80/20 rule: like Bitcoin in its early GPU mining days, it seems 80% of the hashrate comes from 20% of people who operate large Linux mining farms, while 20% of the hashrate is from 80% of people who operate smaller hobbyist Windows mining farms.
