I'll be the first to admit that my original sgminer for x16r / x16s wasn't very well optimized. It was made in a hurry for the RVN AMD miner bounty, so it was rushed.
Anyways, I've finally gotten my hands on a RX580 card and had the time to make optimizations.
Introducing... the Avermore miner.
Not only is the devfee only 1% compared to aerisminer's 2%, it's also faster. Aeris is claiming 5-6.5 MH/s on RX570/580 and 11-12 MH/s on Vega? Well, my miner does 7.2-7.5 MH/s on my stock RX580, and others report 13-14 MH/s on Vega. So, a whole 15-25% faster than aerisminer.
Avermore also works with x16r, x16s, and xevan, and is faster than any current AMD miner out there for all three of these algos.
And the best part? Avermore doesn't blatantly violate the sgminer GPL license. For those of you who are unaware, the GPL license (which sgminer is released under) requires that "programs distributed as pre-compiled binaries be accompanied by a copy of the source code, a written offer to distribute the source code via the same mechanism as the pre-compiled binary, or the written offer to obtain the source code that the user got when they received the pre-compiled binary under the GPL." [source].
Aeris is clearly violating this license, as they clearly admit that it is "based on sgminer-gm-5.5.5". If you have any respect whatsoever for the time and effort developers put into developing the miners that makes GPU mining possible, you should not support Aeris' blatantly illegal ripoff of others' work.

May you please create a thread ?
Made an ANN thread here. I had previously announced it on the RVN ANN thread, but this is better. Thanks for the suggestion.
working well with my 2 RX480's and R9 280x nice legit AMD miner.
