Hey Guys,
I'm new to altcoin mining in general so bear with me. My apologies if this was already addressed, I went through the thread and couldn't find the answer. If it is out there please just direct me to the answer.
So I found this thread and started trying this cpuminer-opt. I've been using cupminer-multi for a few months now, and was excited to see something newer and possibly more optimized. I have a mix of older and newer hardware as I mine. When I run the CPuminer-opt, I am getting reports of rates that far exceed what is actually being recognized by the Pool I am in, MiningPoolHub. I am mining XZC (Zcoin) and when using cpuminer-multi I was seeing rates of about 200-300Kh/s. The cpuminer-opt with the same hardware was reporting as high as 14 Mh/s. Here is the line from my batch file: (separate for each .exe)
cpuminer-sse2.exe -a lyra2z -o stratum+tcp://us-east.lyra2z-hub.miningpoolhub.com:20581 -u curtis8706.12 -p x
Here is a bit of what I am seeing.

Same hardware, just different miner. I let it run overnight and I saw a minor increase in the hashrate recognized by the pool, but no where near what the reported hash rate is. Am i missing a seeing or an argument to correct this? I'm not sure what I am doing wrong with this. Any help you guys can provide is much appreciated.
