I have been using them actually, I was the #8 miner for a while, account b14ab3Bm1zjySJ6C77Wr293B79U3Kd7AaP1.
Their was a good several hours where nothing was happening though, and maybe just because low blocks were found I'm not sure, but I swapped off back to Flypool for a while.
I'm sure I'll be back on Forgetop again, gonna so some maintenance this weekend on the rigs.
edit:
Annnnnd then I just looked at your post history and you are just an ad spammer. Booo!!!!
Makes me want to swap to a different pool now.

Hey all, Fishmonger here.
I'm usually known on the interwebs by like 45 people for my World of Warcraft fishing bot, but recently I've been getting into crypto mining and enjoying it.
I have mainly NVIDIA cards, and started concentrating on equihash since it was the most profitable. After checking out different miners, I settled on DSTM for its speed and reliability.
However, while I can certainly make use of command line, I always felt a lightweight GUI is best, especially when done right and kept streamlined.
Enter "Fishmongers Simple GUI Miner" [catchy name I know] which is a script written in Autohotkey that adds a GUI to easily communicate with the popular 0.5.7 version of the DSTM miner.

Totally open source, totally free to use, totally something I've been doing in my spare time.
Why would I need something like this you ask?
Well, I don't know, maybe you don't, but I felt that maybe their was a need for something that combined the ease of use of the Nicehash client with the freedom of using on any pool you want.
Is this any better than DSTM version 0.5.7?
No, it is not a miner program, just a GUI that you can use to access the DSTM miner. It just adds some ease of use so you don't have to meddle with command line or multiple .BAT files for different configurations, or some other functions that DSTM does not nativly support.
Do you charge anything? Skim hash? Eh?
Nope, however the default DSTM miner does have a 2% fee which goes directly to him. Nothing goes to me.
Do I need Autohotkey to use this?
If you want to use the .AHK script and run it directly, then yes. Otherwise I do have a download available with a compiled .EXE you can use that does not require Autohotkey.
Is it safe?
The code is in plain text, you can read everything. Read away, but please understand I'm self taught so don't ridicule my lack of standards.
What is this MINER_DSTM.EXE file that is in there as well?
That is the 0.5.7 version of the DSTM miner. I renamed it so I wouldn't accidentally overwrite the original when I was testing, but left as-is so the program can specifically call out and interact with that window and not interfere with any other versions you may also be running at the same time. The SHA256 of that file 100% matches the 0.5.7 version of DSTM miner since, you know, its the same file just renamed.
So again, why would I need this?
Maybe you don't, but for instance I am a big fan of open source software and the community around it. I made this for myself, but for others who also may be interested in doing something similar. I also don't like some of the hardcore miners out their like Awesome Miner that have way too many buttons and settings that I don't need. I am totally fine with using MiningPoolHub and having it auto convert coins for me, and my GUI will allow me to have it always run in the background and start mining when it detects my system is idle, just like NiceHash legacy.
I'm always looking for suggestions on things I can add to this as well, so feel free to comment and let me know what I can do or what you think.
Thanks for taking the time to read this, and if you like what you see and you want to buy me a beer, I'd appreciate the tips
