If it is to believed pool hashrate is correct, then Bminer does overstate hashrate in console by a big margin...

11 038 in console, but just 10 094 on the pool...

1st 24 hour test shows bminer is a clear winner 5% on the plus
new test I flipped the pc's
Hello!new test I flipped the pc's
You performing nice test.
Already made this test on 1080Ti and got +9,6% and +2,6% after flipping tasks (in ZECs).
More Sols in miner, less Sols on pool, but more shares and money on pool as the result.
For good statistics we need more tests, especially when the winning not so high.

so if the pc was the reason for success and not the bminer this will show the totals to get closer
but if the bminer was the reason and not the pc the totals will get further apart in the favor of bminer.
be back in a day!

Hi everybody! 
Dear developer,
please, do something about permanent "updating" at the start of miner.
[INFO] [2018-03-15T23:11:01+06:00] Checking updates
[WARN] [2018-03-15T23:11:31+06:00] Failed to read from the network: Get : net/http: request canceled while waiting for connection (Client.Timeout exceeded while awaiting headers)
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!
really many people got the problem with this "updating" feature.
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!

19 hours into first part of the test.
and bminer is 5% more earnings.
now this is one of six parts to do a decent test.
part 1 24 hour test ------------- 19 hours done
part 2 24 hour test flip the software
part 3 20 min test check power use on rig 1 with bminer
part 4 20 min test check power use on rig 1 with dstm
part 5 20 min test check power use on rig 2 with bminer
part 6 20 min test check power use on rig 2 with dstm
and bminer is 5% more earnings.

So phil is bminer on omen still doin better?
or has dstm caught up?

Scorpio, pools do not know your hashrate, they only estimate it.
Hi Bimmber
would you please explain to us how the pool works? usually how pool estimate the hashrate?
well you don't need to know that and it varies pool to pool.
But it is a good question. So here is an attempt to explain it.
They all count your good shares submitted to them.
They then devide them by a time limit
and they say a rate.
That is only an estimate because you can toss lots of (7's) in a give time frame and look like you have a higher rate then you do.
Of lots of good shares in hour 1 = high hash
followed by no shares in hour 2 = low hash
the reality is your tosses of the dice per hour are your true hash rate
but pools only count your good shares per hour thus it is an estimate.

This tests don't have power consumption comparision.
yes they do wait for screen shot
all gpus are set to
155 watts
all settings are the same, but for the actual power drawn I need to stop at friends office and put the same meter on each one.
that will be done in time as I have to use the same k-watt meter as no k-watt meters are identical. so to test power would interrupt this stage of the test.
I SEE THAT bminer is reading higher cores with the same settings look at screen shot . this indicates how higher hash may be acheived. it may also mean the higher you do tdp and set the core clocks there will be a difference between the 2 softwares.
Ie in a closed case at 155 watts a 1080ti bminer wins
in an open case at 205 watts a 1080ti dstm wins
Much more complex to test for but I can do it with the two identical pc's if I can cool the cards off

To Developer: It would be very useful to see in statistic how many shares were send to developer too. And we need to see an exact time of working miner, because when the miner work about 20 hours the API report "a day" but not 21h 20min for example. Is it possible to add it in the future update?

There is nothing impressive, difference between them two is very very small as you can see from Nicehash screenshot. Even bminer can handle higher OC, shows more sol/s in console, in reality in doesn`t translate in much higher valid share count on pool side.
I realize I can do lots of tests here to show many software programs against each other and how they stack up.
Having the 2 identical machines purchased on the same day and shipped to my house on the same day allow for a chance to fairly compare the various programs used on smos simple mining
test has just started about 9 hours.
bminer is better so far.
but that could simply be one omen dual 1080ti is better.
after 24 hours we switch software and see if the better rates follow bminer to second omen

Hi Bminer team,
is it possible for you to include some more information in the API response? Maybe in the next update?
I think it would be nice to get the GPU name, the pool and the user in the response.
Let me know what you think about it.

Scorpio, pools do not know your hashrate, they only estimate it.
and a 1 day test is not accurate as 900 sols could simply have a bad day and vary a lot as much as 10% since the pool decides your rate by the shares you submit
May I ask how many days test would be more accurate
How to make the test more accurate? How about 3 days?Okay
for testing bminer against dstm to test the software you need 2 identical rigs pointed to the same pool running simultaneously
you need 2 identical rigs.. test 3 days in a row at the same time on the same pool from the same gigabyte switch
rig a on bminer rig b on dstm after 3 day test reverse
rig b on bminer rig a on dstm after 3 day test reverse
rig a on bminer rig b on dstm after 3 day test reverse
rig b on bminer rig a on dstm after 3 day test stop and tally
in theory bminer should do a better avg.
now I have two identical rigs both are omen hp rigs with a pair of 1080ti's in them.
I did some testing with a lot of rigs pointed to nicehash but I will set up the omens and leave them
running.
So I just set up 2 rigs on simple mining
both are omen hp.co with
i5 8400 cpu
8 gb ram
750 watt psu
2x 1080ti's
clocks are
130 core
600 ram
69c temp
73 fan
155 watts
clocks are the same
they are pointed to new btc account at nicehash. all that matters it the btc number all other stats are bullshit. I pointed them within 1 minute of each other.
I will come back and show results in a day.
I will then show results in 2 days
and then show results in 3 days
the one one the left is dstm

👍really impressive
I will stick to Bminer.

thats pretty much the same so far but over a week we should get a meaningful number. All bets are off !
yeah it is a fair test as far as I can tell.
March 14, 2018, 09:41:58 PM
That's great--perfect set up. This will help lots of people.

@ yankees it is simple.
Same 2 machines
they started at the same moment or maybe 1 moment apart.
I run for a day.
The bminer one should earn more btc then the dstm.
for the sake of arguement
lets say after 24 hours
the bminer is at $4.60 the dstm miner is at $4.50
I proved that the bminer is better on machine a then the dstm miner is on machine b
If I simply switch the miners 24 hours later
they should be close to a tie 4.60 + 4.50 = 9.10 for each one
that would prove that the bminer is faster on both machines.
I then switch and the machine with the bminer should take the lead
4.60 + 4.50 + 4.60 = 13.70
the machine with dstm should drop
4.50 + 4.60 + 4.50 = 13.60
as I flip back and forth if we repeat this over and over and over
a very good chance bminer is better then dstm
I am testing
bminer 5.5
dstm 0.6.0
same simple mining account
so it is only valid for smos a linux based os.
I can only test smos since the 2 omen pc's are in my friends office.
at the moment bminer is leading with
0.00004344 btc to 0.00004219 btc that pretty much matches what the lead should be but testing is very early.
