This is WHY I keep trying to tell folks "specify watts, NOT PERCENT" on TDP numbers as % means NOTHING unless you specify the specific card model and even THEN it's confusing.

Absolutely, yes. That, and also specify if your OC settings are from Windows or Linux - there's a difference (one is double the other).

is it faster than ewbf and dstm?

Clicking on bminer.exe directly it runs ... so I copied over the new mine.bat file in the v.4 distribution and starting with the original var settings, it ran until I got all the way through to config'ing the API ... and it runs. Sorry, I must have fat-fingered something in the original .bat, for all is good now.

BTW, love the graphs in the new API!

I've had success with version 3.0, running at 2900 H/s on 6x GTX 1070Ti's, but the version 4.0 code silently fails and immediately exits without any output.

I am running: Windows 10, Nvidia driver ver 23.21.13.8813 (10/27/2017).

Not sure what, if any other info you'd like, but I'd be happy to assist further.

I'm happy to help -- just wondering how did you run the miner?

My guess is that your command line parameters might be off. Can you try directly click on bminer.exe and to test whether it works?

Thanks.

The swiftness of the OP's response convinced me to give this Yet Another Chance... and it now works fine on luckpool. It's only been running a few minutes so I hesitate to report on performance, but dstm 0.5.7 was delivering a fairly consistent 610 sols/s with (2) GTX 1060 3GB and a total draw of 360W (ie - not just the cards).

So far, bminer 4.0.0 is reporting around 625 sols/w at the exact same draw of 360W, so it appears to have made significant improvement in the power draw while pulling just enough ahead of the competition to make the devfee worth paying.

I still would like to see cumulative run time reported to the console (calculating sols/w, which dstm does, seems superfluous unless you try out a lot of different cards in one slot while keeping the rest the same).

Happy new year!

4.0.0 is released. Thanks everyone for the feedback.

There are quite a bit of improvements in this release:

Minor performance improvement.
Support older CPUs like Core 2 Duo.
Support mining rigs that have more than 8 GPUs.
Support luckpool.org.
Removed the polling option.
Introduced the option `-max-network-failures` which allows Bminer to exit after consecutive network failures.
Various improvement on the UI.
Localization for Russian and Chinese.

Happy mining!

v3.0.0 doesn't work for me. It appears to successfully connect to luckpool.org, receive a difficulty value from the server, and then says "Miner died, restarting"; repeat, ad nauseum. This is a Win7 x64 SP1 machine with (2) GTX 1060 3GB cards. DSTM 0.5.6 and 0.5.7 work fine (indeed, 0.5.7 is running now) on the same pool with the same credentials.

At this point I am done screwing around with this train wreck, as I am philosophically opposed to paying for the "privilege" of being a beta tester.

It turns out there is a compatibility issue with luckpool.org. It will be addressed in the next release.

What is your MoBo and CPU? I have the same problem. Two identical rigs on the old 775 socket. But first rig with quad-core CPU core2quad Q8400 (bminer works excellent, about week uptime without errors). The second rig with the same mobo, same GPU's and dual-core CPU core2duo E6750 says "Miner died, restarting" too. On the same time DSTM 0.5.6 and 0.5.7 work fine on this E6750 rig.

This was with an AMD Phenom II 955 and an Asus M4N75TD mobo on Windows 7 - so, completely different!

Still, pretty brazen to charge a devfee for an alpha-level program. I have the same complaint with Claymore's Cryptonight miner, which lies so bad about hashrate it should be made into a rug...

Is there a way to have the miner exit when the pool disconnects? (this is needed for multi-algo port switching on MPH)

I have talked to the dev about this already.

He said the next update he hopes to have it in place.

Hi,
It worked very well, the growth of real
But there is one question is it possible to disable the update check at start on the api.bminer.me?

Good afternoon, I have a question. Why do the numbers in the window of the miner do not match the figures on the pool? You are cheating?

Hi, new miner here ...
Initially I had a great experience with this bminer. It is stable and fast. CPU utilization was fine and my overall power consumption less than 700W for 6x 1070ti OC with core +200, memory +700 and power 60%.

Unfortunately, after more than 8 hours of mining on nanopool it turned out I was not mining at all.

Code:

SET ADDRESS=t1gNEjRT7A1j3pMg4YHFPox9H5pP3gcxKSr
SET WORKER_NAME=miner1
SET USERNAME=%ADDRESS%.%WORKER_NAME%
SET POOL=zec-eu1.nanopool.org:16666
SET SCHEME=stratum

START "Bminer: When Crypto-mining Made Fast" bminer.exe -uri %SCHEME%://%USERNAME%@%POOL% -api 127.0.0.1:1880

When starting the miner, it is connecting to the correct URL and it reports I was authenticated.
I don't know if this is problem with the software or the pool. Other miners work just fine though.

I would love to use this one, but I cannot do it before I can specify email in the username as required by nanopool and being able to verify connectivity again.

Code:

YOUR_ZEC_ADDRESS.YOUR_WORKER/YOUR_EMAIL

May I suggest to dich the connection string parsing in favor of just using server/user/password parameters as every other similar software...

YOUR_WORKER/YOUR_EMAIL are optional in nanopool -- to mine on nanopool, what you need to do is to simply change the address to point to your address.

There are a few more examples on https://www.bminer.me/examples.

But you do bring up a good point on how to pass in username / password. That's something I'll consider and look into. Thanks for the feedback.

Thanks for the reply!
My wallet info is correct. I'm using the same configuration for different mining applications. The only problem with Nonopool I had is with bminer. I know the email is optional, but I was wondering how to verify pool or software problem caused 8 hours of 0 work actually done.

BTW, I'm currently using bminer for ZCL@suprnova and it works fine.

As a software developer myself, I do suggest you don't try using URI the way you are doing it. You should build it using separate input parameters. This way you will not have problems with characters in the value matching your separator characters.

Cheers!
