Hello guys (again)!
Want to remind to all of you, that if somebody has any problems with stability of EWBF, DSTM, CLAYMORE miners or needs some extra control over your rigs please read carefully my message below.

I want to introduce to you a script, which can solve most of your problems. It is a result of half a year hard work with my beta testers. Now it is clean of any bugs and ready to be introduced for the wide mining community.

1) https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/cmd-farmwatchbot-ewbf-claymore-bminer-dstm-cc-eth-castxmr-phoenix-2071108
2) https://forum.z.cash/t/cmd-equihash-miner-autorun-autorestart-watchdog-for-ewbf-claymore-dstm/20640

It will definetely reduce your valuable time spent near your rigs, because this script will do all the work for you. Just start it and forget about your rigs, relax or do anything else. In case of any problem this script will restart your miner, or the rig, if necessary. It will notify you by Telegramm message about all problems and corrective actions taken. It is open source code (CMD/BAT, not an .exe or something like this), so anyone can check throug the code if needed.
Enjoy your life, let the script to monitor your rigs for you.

Has EWBF been on here at all? It's a great miner but it needs an auto-restart function. I think his competition is still actively working on their miner. If he doesn't do some improvements, I think he'll start losing money.

He hasn't been replying on this topic for months, but seems to connect since his last activity is today, quite odd. And i agree, dtsm is already there, and just a couple improvement like backup pool, will make EWBF obsolete for most miner, even with the mandatory 2% dev-fee.

I think dstm and ewbf are the same person. Once the community discovered how to disable fee from ewbf, magically dstm miner appears with improves speed but devfee inside

Possible, but the fee option from EWBF has been around a while and dtsm is pretty new, also the coding and engine of the miner look completely different. But it can be ! we'll never know :p

Hi,
I have 24 Nvidia 1070 cards and one of these cards gives me 0 sol in every Equihash algorithms.Also tested multiple drivers and windows 10 versions and my 2 year mining experience didn't help me either.This card works perfectly on every algorithms such as ethash (32 mhs on ethereum).Moreover, I disabled overclocking completely but still have this 0 sol issue.This rig that this gpu is on has 6gpus when I use (--cuda_devices 0 1 3 4 5) command all of my 5 gpus give around 450 hash but when remove this code in order to mine with 6 gpus, that specific gpu chooses solver 3 and makes all 6 cards 0 sol!!
please give me a solution
Peace

Just tried 387.92 then installed 388.00,... basically the same.
btw anyone seen the price jump in Bitcoin?  It upped the price of zcash as well... $341.26

Widespread testing among the FAH community came to the conclusion that 373.06 was the most stable for FAH usage (which indicates it should also be highly stable for mining as both put very heavy loads on a GPU) while maintaining full PPD (FAH version of hashrate).

 There's less agreement about driver version for the cards that have been released since that driver version was released as there's been less time and fewer cards tested to date.



Interesting.  Thanks for the info, I'll revert and see.  btw.. what it the FAH community?

One thing to note, if you use the drivers 373.06 you will not be able to use any miner compiled with CUDA9, stick with CUDA8. I agree that this driver for GPU's 1070 and under seems to give the best result as hashrate and stability goes.

Yes i use my PC normaly like browsing, wathing youtube, movies etc. maybe i put too much memory or core clock? On Stock it is working fine. ~730 Sol/s. I have 1000W PSU so that is not a problem.
I saw somewhere that they have core clock at stock and 5300 on Memory ( Afterburner ) but i was putting +300 and there is 50 or 60 more that 5300. if i dont find solution i will leave that at stock...  I have Asus Strix OC edition GTX 1080 Ti

 No, it's a Windows thing - I see the same sort of thing on the Aorus in my "gaming" machine - only run it at +100 +100 in Afterburner, 100% TDP - and it drops to about 160 watts as soon as I start up a game OR a web browser or much of anything else EXCEPT mining software.

 Plus side - it's dropping into it's EFFICIENT range when that happens, and not dopping a ton of hashrate.


did you find solution for this?

 Doesn't seem to be one for a machine that is used for other things that grab the video card.

nope, I'm using simple script for it, I don't think it needs this complex solutions, dunno.


Anyways I was asking earlier but didn't got the answer, I was wondering if anyone found a solution for monitoring several rigs and even farms in one instance, one web interface, or something like claymore's  monitoring system for bunch of miners?

Have not checked out the Claymore monitoring system, but depending on what you need to monitor I did some easy code for multiple instances of the EWBF --api function a few pages back.

This could probably be tweaked and sorted for any on/off-site miners running, but I currently only used it for monitoring my on-site rigs.

Take a look at the screenshot posted by matmator in post #4760 https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.22395458

Are you starting something else up around that point?
Even opening a WEB BROWSER seems to cause what you're seeing in Windows.

Hello all. I just got my Asus Strix GTX 1080 Ti and on Stock it get 730 sol/s and when i oc it: +91 and +300 its get 780 but after a 1min from 100 TDP its drop to  ~70% TDP and get around ~500 Sol/s with Zcash. Can anyone help me? I have 2 cards in my PC, 1 is gtx 1060 6gb and this new GTX 1080 Ti is pluged with riser. I have Nvidia settings on performance put.
