I have found NBMiner to be the most stable. The computer runs for days without problems but it just reboots occasionally in NBMiner.
LOLminer seems less stable, with lower hashrates.
After weeks of NBMiner, at around 215Mh/s, I was reading this and thought I’d give LOLminer a try to see if they fixed it yet. ZERO. Five minutes later, still waiting for it to get its big boy pants on.
But, it was sure consuming power, which made me suspect that it was hashing but failing to communicate that to the HiveOS server.
So I checked it on Nicehash, and found that it had, indeed, continued to hash at a fairly high rate compared to NBMiner.
703W versus the 680 or so with NBMiner.
My conclusion is that you have to look at your pool results, not just your HiveOS page to see what you are getting.
But, after I wrote the above,
I may have to reduce speeds to keep temps in check.
Around the reboot, obviously hashrate dropped
So, I figured I’d try it on the Hiveon pool.
Voila! Suddenly card readings have reappeared. (same miner: LOLMiner.)
Highest INDICATED hashrate I’ve gotten in MONTHS.
However, I showed nothing on the Hiveon pool screen
After some minutes, activity showed up on Hive’s side.
Notice the spike right there at the end. That’s the last few minutes on Hive
