@Claymore How come each time I load your miner, the hashrate varies?
For example, I have a 380x video card, and 95% of the time, when I load your miner, it says the hashrate is about 20 Mh/s, but then there is that 5% of the time when I load it, it says my hashrate is about 22 Mh/s.
I noticed that when ever the hashrate says at the beginning in the first minute, it will be at that hashrate throughout the whole time until I exit your miner.
So I keep exiting and re-running your miner till it gives me a hashrate of about 22 Mh/s so I can just leave it on.
Is that accurate? Or am I just wasting time exiting and re-loading to get that 22 Mh/s and it's only a placebo?

I could recommend trying GenEthOS distro: https://ethereum-mining.info/en/
It is ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS-based distro that includes many tools for ETH mining (proxies, miners, GPU tweakers and monitoring tools) and is free to use.

thanks! Im grabbing it now.
it will be on a 7.2k hdd for now, ssd later. just 2, possibly 3 gpus.
eventually ill just try straight 14.04 but i figure to use this to get started as utils etc are already baked in. im a bit rusty on *nix, this way ill at least be mining while i learn my way around.
well, thats the plan anyway.

can someone explain me the power limit function ? What is it doing and what are the number parameters ? Thanks !
it sets the maximum power that the gpu is allowed to use.
example:
my sapphire r9 390 needs power limit to be increased because it down throttles when overclocked due to lack of power the gpu is using. while my msi r9 390 does not need it because msi made it that way..

Just hooked a watt meter up to my rig in dual mining mode 3 280x + mb cpu etc are drawing 1400w yikes... 
so much !i've 1125w with 4 280x @1050/1500 in dual.
( 925w in ETH only )
I'm running 1000/1250 and get 1150w in eth only mode

Where can I find comparison of R9 390 / R9 390X / Fury (non-X)?

v4.4 Beta2: Fixed issue with f2pool with a lot of rejected shares.
This issue was in v4.4 only, it is related to all pools that send no id in new job notification like this:
{"jsonrpc":"2.0","result":["0xa3618929de46cef1a31bb46f532e3b428d40a6d72c2f2752c9b4c429b19ad4e7","0xcad4f4a99ad327de63b019b0116d93d299bf8ab65cdb0f56a94b9532d1c460ae","0x00000001ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff"],"error":null}
Currently only f2pool is confirmed as affected pool.
The reason of this issue is a mess in Stratum implementations on different pools. Some of them don't set correct "id" for JSON response (not this case because new job notification is not a response, but for example cointron sends no id in response to eth_sendHashrate), some use additional fields.

@Claymore, with 4.0 I got 5-6% rejected shares to f2pool with 4.4 I got around 50%, do you have any clue why it could be ? I use same command line...
5-6% is too much too, try other pools. In v4.4 I did not change anything related to mining itself. PM me the log.

Does your miner interrupt current work if new job comes from pool or only start solving it when share from previous job is solved?
There is no way to interrupt current GPU round, its time depends on "-ethi" setting and usually is about 100ms. After that, miner will use new job if pool sent it.
Well, I have no time ATM to sniff how stratum in your miner actually works, can you tell me does your miner also polls for new jobs periodically or always waiting for { result: [powhash, epoch-hash, target] } from pool? I mean dwarf stratum?
Yes in dwarfpool stratum mode (-esm 0) miner waits for { result: [powhash, epoch-hash, target] }. Also it sends "eth_getWork" every 10 seconds, otherwise dwarpool loses miner in a few minutes for some reason (v1.0 did not send "eth_getWork" and you can read users feedback for dwarfpool in this thread on first pages).

Ready the first version of the monitoring for Android - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ua.com.bcmob.claymoresdualminermonitor
i cant access settings, how do you set it to access miner from outside network?
@javi
You need to forward port to point to your local ip where manager is. For example if your local ip where manager is is 192.168.88.1 and your public ip is 44.99.512.222 you need to configure your ruter in firewall/nat destination to forward port 8000 so when you type 44.99.512.222:8000 it will point to 192.168.88.1:8000. You need to set static ip for your local comp where manager is. It depends on ruter how you need to configure it but allmost all is the same in nat settings. If you are behind mikrotik ruterboard like me then in your firewall settings-nat-+ add dstnat dstport 8000 and in action dstnat to adress :localip: dstport 8000
Does that mean that anyone who knows my ip and port settings can push me his wallet where i mine to?
@ Claymore, can this monitor be made read only and accepting configs to need activation flag?
There is read-only mode, check readme, "-mport" description.

Important about GenEthOS (from there: https://forum.ethereum.org/discussion/comment/28114/#Comment_28114):
I was able to do all in english (system locale) with some terminal commands a time ago when try it, it is not a problem. Last genoil miner beta released a day ago is without slow dag generation and start really fast as clymore. Quote

Well if you have many gpuminers in the rig it will work slow if installed on usb flash as dag loading takes a lot of time (about a hour for 6 gpu) . Clymore miner doesn't have this problem but works slow on linux, tried yesterday on my custom peppermintethos usb flash version. This genethos is nice but WebUI is horrible and too complicated.
Talking about DAGs, you can copy and run any miner from tmpfs in RAM, and in that case it will be faster than using HDD. Talking about Claymore's miner, I think we should find out why it works a bit slower, and fix it instead of dropping the Linux version.WebUI is horrible, but actually it is Webmin with few custom commands added, and a set of scripts. You may use UI to edit them or may edit the same files with ssh and vi, then just run and forget. I see nothing that requres that UI to be used all the time. You may use ADL monitor, but again, having an application for Claymore's miner (say, written in nodejs), there is no need in that either.
In short, it needs some polish, but can be used as is and is very stable and (almost) ready to use with this miner (and ready to use with few others). I may expect that commercially sold alternative (https://forum.ethereum.org/discussion/4298/ethos-linux-ethereum-mining-platform) might be better in that respect. But anyway, for me it is a "run and forget" system, we only should fix the miner to have the same performance on both platforms.
