for console reported 4.3k sols but pool reported as 4.05k+/- sols only.
That is similar to other miners like the Claymore, I got 5-8% less reported.

6.1.0 has released.
Happy mining!
- Fix potential regression caused by 6.0.0 for GPUs mounting on risers.
- Improve mining algorithm stability.
Happy mining!

Hi
I have been using bminer on 2x 12 1070ti rigs with no issue.
I have setup another rig with 9x 1080tis. The miner constantly restarts every 30mins or so. The last line in the console is "killed".
Previously when I had a riser fail while running bminer, it stated exactly which gpu/riser it could not get temperature from.
The restarts do not happen with other softwares.
I am using simple mining and mining on nicehash.

Can't assist you on how to solve the problem, but can report I am having the same problem or similar problem to yours also on a nine card rig. I am also using smos.
Mine is a 9x 1070ti rig. It took me a while to realise I had a problem. I was not paying attention to the console.
Whats happening with mine is that the rig loads up as normal on smos with the slow start from Bminer, then when all GPUs are running at full speed, GPU 8 starts dropping off slowly, the sol rate eventually drops down to zero, the rig keeps running for a while and but then I start getting the restarts about every 30 minutes or so. When I revert back to Bminer v5.5.0 the problem goes away, the rig runs normally. I tried dialing back the overclock on GPU 8 to see if this was the problem but that didn't work either. So for now just working v5.5.0. on this rig.
Funny thing is I have another 9 card rig with identical setup to the first, same mobo same power supply etc. Except this is a mixed card rig, 6x 1070 and 3x 1070t1 but this rig runs normally on Bminer v6.0.0.
I have a third 6x 1070ti card rig and this runs problem free as well with v6.0.0.
Just go back to v5.5.0 is my fix for the moment anyhow.
Thanks for feedback. Are you mining nicehash by any chance?
The restarts have somehow reduced to 1 per day.
I have now noticed that my rig shows offline on the pool as well as on simplemining monitor console but strangely the system is still drawing +750watts off power during this state, as per my energy meter. Full draw on this rig is - +2150watts. This would mean that my system is in some kind on halt state? Is some watchdog initiating?
@minebomb @Roby1
Thank you for the feedback. How many memory the rig has? This information will help me diagnose the problem and fix it in the next release.
@realbminer
Thanks for response.
I am using 4gb Ram and a celeron cpu on simplemining.
Thanks await your feedback

4. It might be a good idea or not, but I think it will be a bit more transparent if next to the accepted shares, rejected shares you included a new count named Dev Shares then we could keep track and see if it really is a 2% what you are taking away.
4. Yes, I am open to this idea. But simply counting the number of shares will just confuse people due to potentially different difficulties of shares. Once I figured out a right way to implement this, I will do it.
For a more accurate number, that accounts for the difference in difficulties, a few calculations can be introduced.
1) "avgDevD", the average difficulty of the developers shares.
2) "avgMnrD", the average difficulty of the miners shares.
3) "%diffD", the percent difference in difficulty or more precisely, the % increase or decrease in the average difficulty of the miners shares compared to the average difficulty of the developers shares. It looks like this: %diffD = (avgDevD / avgMnrD) / avgMnrD * 100
The "avgDevD" and "avgMnrD" values can just go into the bminer.log to lessen console clutter but with the "%diffD" value added to the console, the following equations can be used for verification and should increase confidence in the code.
Dev Shares = 0.02 * Accepted Shares * (1 + %diffD / 100)
Miner Shares = Accepted Shares - Dev Shares
Maybe there's an easier method but this one is not terribly complicated.

The difference between my console and pool is about 6.5%. Similar to yours.

I just tried bminer and I'm getting better rates than I was with dstm with the same clocks so I'm going to let it run for a day and see if it's stable
Those better rates are fake. I get about 1000 sol difference between console and pool. Lot of people have said bminer fakes data in console.
I didn't see such kind of people. it's boring to see someone who keeps posting such kind of things under this thread.
you are in denial. just stop already.
its completely obvious that bminer over reports hashrate in the console or hes taking more than 2%. bminer's reported hashrate is 3% higher than dstm reported output but still has the same hashrate pool side.
stop ignoring the obvious

I guess I am not the only one having issue with version 6.0.0, GPU hangs after 30-60mins. 5.5.0 works fine tho

The only file that is updated is the "firmware.bin" file, thats where the data downloaded from bminer.me is stored.
March 26, 2018, 05:11:25 PM
please, do something about permanent "updating" at the start of miner.
[INFO] [2018-03-15T23:11:01+06:00] Checking updates

and so on.
bminer.me and bminercontents.com are unreachable because of provider block or something similar - downloading somewhere.
i suppose that is the key to the problem!
its a problem because when "updating" finished, mining simply could not start with probable error. you waiting 5+ minutes - then an error. and starting over with config changes.
thank you!

We will address this issue in next time. For example, shorten the wait time and retry time.
Sometimes computer is freezing for 5-6 minutes while "updation", and if its a reboot - loosing control over the situation - should wait of "update" finish.
Please, fix it - best variant is 1 try for upto 5 seconds of timeout
Btw, on computer having normal access to bminer.me the update process finishes instantly and do not change bminer.exe with new version.

After 2 days using Bminer v.6.0.0 I noticed a slight decrease of rejected shares in comparison with previous versions, but still a little more than in DSTM(
And what about the performance? Well, on my system, it is the same as with DSTM - no less but no more as it should be (as it report in console).
In my own opinion maybe Bminer sending more than 2% to developer and that is why my hashrate on the Pool is 5% less than miner report in console. While the DSTM miner, in the same system, give me only 2% less (as it should be).
For now I will stay with Bminer because it is more stable on my rigs, but I hope the Developer will improve his miner in the next update and we all will have a really fastest Cuda miner for Equihash)

in response to anyone using bminer just because its more stable than dstm or vice versa. theres another option which i feel is way better than expecting the mining program's watchdog to work 100% bug free.
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/cmd-farmwatchbot-ewbf-claymore-bminer-dstm-cc-eth-castxmr-phoenix-2071108
arcefawn made a nice open source FREE watchdog script that works for several miners. its a simple script that you edit how you want to work (he has simple instructions in the cfg file.) very straight forward and works with dstm, bminer, ewbf, claymore, ccminer, ethminer, phoenix, cast xmr, and hes adding more all the time.
his script monitors the mining console and resets the miner if it crashes. it monitors your hashrate so if its reporting lower like some gpu's are reporting too low of a hashrate, it can restart the miner. it can reload your overclocking profiles if you set it to. you can set a schedule on how often to restart the miner or the pc. you also has pool fallover support to 5 pools set in your cfg file so if you lose connection you're not mining for nothing.
its really a great script and the guy is nice enough to give it away for free. totally worth sending him a donation and then not having to worry about your miner(s) going down

No I am mining direct on Suprnova. No restarts on all three rigs since the initial problem, seems to be stable these past few days. still running 2 rigs on v6 and 1 rig on v5.5
