Claymore, I noticed the front page of the thread with the new release links no longer mentions the issues with Nvidia 9xx and new drivers on Windows 10. Has that been resolved and Maxwell cards can mine at full hashrate with latest drivers in windows 10?
I removed it because latest drivers solved issues for Pascal cards. Well, may be I should return these notes back, though need to find them somewhere to do it...
How long does the devfee usually take?
Claymore claim that he take 1%, but in fact he took more. You can watch the status of mining, every devfee mining, he is always get the share. He is cheating on 1%. I think he takes at least 3%.
In fact you don't understand mining details. Some people think like you and tried to check fee rate in my miners technically, for example:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/edit-confirmed-fee-is-accurate-1681108About number of shares: I explained it several times, then added to FAQ here:

Q: Why do I see more shares for devfee than in my mining for the same time?
A: Most pools support variable diff, they change "target share" after some time after connection. For example, you have very powerful rig, after connection you will send shares very often. It takes some CPU time to check your shares so after some time pool will send higher share target and miner will send less shares (but they will have more value). When pool updates share target you will see "Pool sets new share target" line in the miner. This way pool can adjust the number of shares that miner sends and balance its load.
So check the log or console text to see current target for main mining thread and for devfee thread. For example:
DevFee: Pool sets new share target: 0x0083126e (diff: 500H) - this is for devfee mining connection
Pool sets new share target: 0x0024fa4f (diff: 1772H) - this is for main mining connection
As you can see, target share for main mining is higher in about 3.5 times, so for main mining miner sends in 3 times less shares (but they have 3x more value) than for devfee mining.
.....
For ETH most popular pools don't use vardiff, but if you see many shares in devfee it means that you use such pool.
So if you see that devfee mining gets more shares - check in the log what share target is used for devfee, it will be much lower than for main mining, so these shares are much cheaper.
Of course you can forget about all these complex technical details and continue think that I fool entire community and take 3% or 5% or 7%...
I write miners for a long time and a lot of people use them, such thing would be discovered quickly because there are ways to check real devfee mining rate.
