Technically: Equihash is parameterizable, however all coins that use equihash as their POW seem to use the same parameters as Zcash. People are using the miner currently for different equihash-coins without any issues, if something doesn't work report it here pls.

thanks for the infos

I don't see why it wouldn't - but there may be some element to it that I'm not aware of that means it's not an all-round equihash miner.

Given the name, is this miner optimised specifically for only zcash or does it do all equihash coins?

I hope it can also mine Zencash

The first block of our pool (https://zpool.guru) is found with DSTM Grin

I just have a test with you pool : with a 200 sol/s miner, no share, O, null.
I stop the test after few minutes.
In the same time, few minutes, with SuprNova, I get a lot od shares.
Why I get 0 share with your pool, smallest than suprnova ?

of course it is smaller than suprnova, never join a new or small pool unless its a new coin.

The best pool for ZEC so far is Flypool:
https://www.reddit.com/r/gpumining/comments/729ixq/flypool_is_the_most_profitable_zcash_pool/

Ok, I will try this pool "FlyPool"
But you didn't explain why never join a new or small pool unless it is a new coin ?
I understand the "unless it is a new coin (sometime, there only one new pool for a new coin), but not the rest...

bigger the pool = more chance = more for you
Its basic math/stats
Google it

No need Windows version if the Ubuntu exist : everybody can run Ubuntu because it is free, for Windows, everybody have to pay the licence.

@dev : good job for this miner : a real few improvment for my GTX750 (non Ti) and my GTX 1050Ti. Thank you, hope you can release an even better version ;-).

How do you control temp/fans in Ubuntu without nvOC ?

E.g.

Code:

nvidia-settings -a "[fan:2]/GPUTargetFanSpeed=70"

Looks like you've found a second block

I took especially care such that every GPU / Rig is searching a different portion of the solution space to maximize the probability to find a block on very large GPU clusters.

Windows version is in good shape now. I need some testers to test stability on a multigpu-system that's running windows, since I don't have access to a such system currently. If someone is able to provide ssh access - this would be very helpful. Pm me pls to keep the thread clean.

I hope that dstm will provide .... windows version before the BTG fork on 25th . A big hope

I haven't checked BTG, not sure if it's compatible with Zcash's stratum/equihash-parameters, does someone have more information on this?

dstm,

Do you know why your zm miner wouldn't work on Arch Linux? I try to run it and it just justs there not producing any output at all. I don't think it's doing anything. I can run ./zm --help and it gives me that. Nothing else works though. I installed openssl-1.0 if that matters.

Strange, since I'm developing it on arch and testing it on both - arch and ubuntu. It runs fine for me on arch.

Well, maybe I don't have all the necessary libraries installed. I'm not sure. openssl-1.0 is the only one it complained about.

There are no other requirements, you have to install nvidias driver ofc, but you have done this for sure

Very strange that it's not producing any output at all. This might happen on connection issues, since it might take some time for the socket to timeout. Check what nvidia-smi reports, you should see an GPU-Util about 100% if it's working.

How come

Code:

$ ldd zm
not a dynamic executable

when it uses shared libraries?

ZM is encrypted and compressed to make patching it difficult. This is especially important if people aren't checking the sha1 sums or/and download it from a different source.

Nevermind, I was being dumb and forgot the port in my script.
