You didn't have to go that far. So how come it doesn't show watts used? Or invalid shares?

What I get with 0.5.7:

Pretty poor Share-rate!

So does 0.5.7 earn no less than 0.5.6? That's for sure? I did not understand why the algorithm changed, which establishes the complexity of the pool?

i think different difficult for each gpu good idea

You are welcome sir, keep up the good work, only failover to go and this miner will be awesome 

Exactly, thx m1n1ngP4d4w4n for writing this explanation.

Actually 0.5.7 performs slightly faster on your system - as seen by the I/s - don't forget: the solution rate (Sol/s) is probabilistic.

NVML is NVIDIA's Management Library - it is used to read e.g. the temperatures of your GPUs.

It would help sometimes, to read, and understand what you are doing...


not  even able to read a changelog or understand what mining is ?

With the change of 0.5.7 making one unified connection to the pool, the share rate will decrease alot, but the difficulty of each share is also going up by alot, so basically your share amount is less, but each share earn you alot more (10x share diff=10 at 0.1 earn you 1, and 1x share diff=100 at 1, earn you one) so you earn the same. Also alot of pools seeing the increase of miners, have upped  the difficulty quite a bit so that less share are exchanged (basically the pool give you a bigger work to do, reducing his communication with you, since it take you more time to solve this work), to sum it up, instead of the pools seeing X cards coming to mine they see one rig as a big card and give out work accordingly (1x big card = massive hashrate = higher difficulty share)

I can confirm better performance, my s/w went up, and the average sols/s is also better, good job !

I have also had to revert back to v0.5.6, there was a noticeable decrease in speed at the pool, almost 20%.

That's the number of shares submitted.
Look at block finding like swallowing an elephant that swallowed a golden nugget. To swallow an elephant we need to devide it in to slices (=shares).
Big people/eaters get bigger slices (=big miners get bigger shares). We chew this slice (Sols or hashes) until finished and ask for a new one.
If your slice is to big, it takes to long to process and it gets rotten (stale share). If you you find the nugget......hoerah....next elephant.
Last one....the bigger the elephant.....I think you can guess this one (hint: difficulty)

v0.5.7
A significant decrease in the accepted share on the pool. The numbers in the program window are large, but on the pool it is 20-30% lower than usual.

Can anyone tell me what this is? But I already now the temp, Sols and average Sols/W. But what is the rest?

Tried your most recent miner and it works great - I'm getting higher hash rates consistently across equihash coins compared to the more well known ewbf miner. Not sure why more people aren't jumping on this miner for their nvidia cards, given it seems to consistently perform better. Also seems to be running stable across my cards so don't think that is putting people off trying this - maybe people just don't know about it?

Can confirm with my Awesome miner + 1060s. With .5.7 compared to .5.6. I have noticed significantly less + signs. Whether that is by design I am not sure, however, in my sum output I also noticed roughly 5x less shares. With 0.5.6 the hash rate is down however, as you indicated it seems the 1060 improvements worked (roughly +100 sol/s overall with 7 cards).

I am concerned however regarding the share output.

ZENcash mining on Suprnova pool w/ Linux Ubuntu 6 x 1070 Zotac Mini.  Noticed some issues with 0.5.7.

While my CPU usage was noticably less, I also noticed my Sol/w slightly less on 0.5.7.  The biggest issue was seeing the share rate cut by 2/3 or more.  Additionally, the pool showed my hash rate cut in half, and the screen output also indicated very few submitted shares to the pool (rarely did a plus sign

• appear.)

For obvious reasons, I switched back to 0.5.6.  See below for details:

Hope this helps.

looks super power efficient !
does the +130 core clock on the 1060 6Gb have any instability issue?

I'm running at very power efficient method tho:
1060 3gb - around 270 sol/s     pwr limit 60 / core clock +110
1060 6gb - around 285 sol/s     pwr limit 60 / core clock +130

I have 2 cards of each, so entire system with 4 cards is pulling 350 watts

can someone share their GPU settings?

I have the following cards with settings:
 - 5 Zotac GTX 1060 6Gb       around 320 Sol/s        Power Limit: 90 / Core Clock: +110 / Mem Clock: +900
 - 3 Zotac GTX 1070 TI 8Gb   around 515 Sol/s        Power Limit: 75 / Core Clock: +200 / Mem Clock: +700

the all system (Win10) runs at 1080 Watts.

anyone has better Sol/s with different settings?

can i switch from single to multi gpu connections to pool in new version (0.5.7)?
i have less profit in single pool connection
