I am getting 280mh/s for my 7950/7970/280X and 400mh/s for my 290.

What speeds is everybody else getting?

I think currently nanopool is the only public one but on the sia fourm there is another one in a testing phase.  I think part of difficulty in running a Sia pool is the high server requirement where it uses alot of Cpu and ram.

Obviously if only 1 public pool stay true very long all the hash will be centralized.

So the nanopool is the only public pool out there?

Dual mining is actually bad for miners, the reason is simple.  If people can mine both coins at once they no longer have to choose an algo to mine and it raises the hash rate in both.  Where if they had to choose a single coin then hash would be removed from one coin and used to mine on another.

Anyway Nano has released a Beta Sia pool, the stats or payouts are not really working yet but the hash is already sky rocketing.  Profitability is likely doomed on sia pretty soon.

If they don't use the same mining algo, why should the difficulty explode?

Because enormous number of GPUs mining ETH will switch to ETH/SIA dual mining.

Well, that's what I am asking. I know that dual mining is possible when mining algos are the same. For example, Doge and LTC use the same algo. Doge had its code changed to be merge-mined with LTC and saved itself by doing it. Now their hashrates are about equal.

How does this work for ETH and SIA? Can you provide details?

Here is a link to the awesome miner.
It previously did ETHash and DCR.
Now with SIA as option.

Indeed very weird that there is no pool as of yet

Don't wish for something you don't want.  Pools are the reason so many coins are centralizing. One being of most importance btc!  Pools are a no no for decentralization.  Honestly I hope the pps pool stays private beta   Only problem with this is barrier for entry becomes higher which causes more centralization.  I think no matter how we slice it and dice it. Decentralization in a world with unequal resources is a pipe dream.

on the other hand, with a single gpu or a small rig, your odds to hit a block are really bad.

Claymore ETH-SIA dualminer is ready. Difficulty will explode.

ETH and SIA use the same mining algo, can be merge-mined?

I have read about Storj and came across SIA. How is SIA different than Storj and what does SIA have that makes it better in your opinion?

In all honesty, I became more interested when I saw the price shoot up really quick and thought there might be something in the platform that I missed.

they got a big discussion there, enjoy.
