First, why are there both zhash and equihash1445 algos? They are one and the same.

Second, I get only invalid solutions with bminer for zhash/equihash1445 (I tried both). Gminer works fine. Same pool. What gives?

invalid solutions appears some time but may I ask if it's really frequent to see it and what's the excat percentage on the poolside. thanks!

So, i got some rigs working with Bminer, some still give to much Rejects, so those run on gminer...

The once that do work i will give the specs.
Look like the panel in Simplemining on the miner itself is showing more hash, but on the pool it's about the same as i use Gminer.

would you please try adjust the -intensity as the same time to see if it helps? thanks for the test, we will keep improve it.

Intensity set to 12 ( without fast )

thanks for the detailed information, may I ask what coin you are mining?

Mining GRIN29 and GRIN31.
The GPU is NVIDIA K80. Is it supported? Or is it outdated? Thanks.

Ubuntu 16.04, nvidi 415.27, cuda10, 13x gtx1070, g3930 (2.9ghz dual core) ... is there a reason why the -intensity option sometimes has an effect and sometimes makes absolutely no difference?

Setting -intensity 3 sometimes does bring down the cpu usage to 80% and using nvidia-smi actually works with little delay; and setting -intensity 12 puts cpu usage at 100% and nvidia-smi barely moves, delaying all output by 10-20 seconds.

But sometimes setting -intensity 3 or -intensity 12 makes no difference whatsoever, bot resulting in cpu usage of 95-100% and nvidia-smi being somewhere between slow and medium slow (a few seconds delay, but usable).

Anyone else?

for me, intensity stop working after 15.0.0 version
just overload cpu
Ubuntu 16.04, nvidia 396.82, cuda 9.2, 12x gtx1070, g3930, GRIN 29 or 31
maybe because i use "old" driver

@realbminer - could you please report the share difficulty for every new job sent by the pool (on coockoo cycle)? Currently bminer only says "new job" but doesn't report the difficulty.

thanks for the suggestion ,we will consider it.

very short test on Grin29, luxor.tech pool, win 10 driver 419.35, single gpu pc i5 with gtx1070, core +160, mem +600, power 65%:
v15.3.1: 4.45 G/s
v15.4.0: 4.80 G/s with --fast option => close to 5.0 G/s after a few hours...

I noticed only a slight improvement in speed with gtx1070:
4.41 G/s (v15.3.1) --> 4.45 G/s (v15.4.0)

my gtx1070 is around 5.0 G/s on 24 h, fidelity is 1.077 (was close to 1.0 on previous version)
my gtx1080ti went from 7.6 G/s to 8.0 G/s at 70% power load with v15.4.0 --fast (+120 core +600 mem), fidelity 0.993

thanks for sharing.

I tried the new 15.4 with the --fast flag and it will not accept any shares on thegrinpool. I went back to version 15.3.1 and it will not work either now. Is there a way to disable the --fast flag once it has been activated or is simply removing it from the command line sufficient. I am on Windows 7 with a 1070

Just remove the --fast flag in your command line it will be diabled.
Have you tried combine intensity and --fast to see if it helps? since we have tried on our rig and it helps.

over 30 hours on sparkpool with newest bminer :<. Miner shown 26-27 g/s but its only 23 g/s on pool.

there's a bug with BMiner and P106-100/P104-100 GPUs on Beam algo, the hashrate is too low - about 7 and 10 H/s, that's about 2x lower than 1060 and 1070 can do. GMiner works fine with them.

Does Linux has to worry about virtual memory for its GPUs like windows?

Rarely ...

On occasion but depending on the Linux distribution and how it is installed in the first place, very few issues ever arise in the swap space arena for mining.
