Marvell1, thanks for your fast reply!
Going tomorrow to pickup some 480 4GB models, because everyone gives reply about 470 8GB models.
Thanks again.

was the larger issue of mistakes in 15 minutes of work Rejected: 2,

My shares appear to have gone up in lockstep with my hash-rate, as seen on the pool side. My payments have also gone up too, but trying to pin a definitive cause and effect on anything right now is hard as not only is difficulty still rising, but the block rewards are gradual increasing as well due to the slow-start. Once we are past 20,000 blocks and the difficulty settles down we will be able to understand the patterns and relationships better. I think right now we tend to read into things too much when there is really nothing abnormal going on at all.

The something old and something new origin of Claymore's ZEC seems so inconsequential. Can we move on? This would be unfair if it impacted the ZEC linux miner development trajectory. There is no doubt in my mind while people are being pope holy about the various public miners, the guys who developed private ZEC miners for serious cash I'm sure have made use of what is in the public domain with no scruples.

 If you guys want to see real world ripoff varsity action:

1) Bill Gates ripping off Digital Research.

2) Jocelyn Bell Burnell gets excluded for sharing the Noble Prize in physics for discovering and characterizing Pulsars. She did all the work and came up with the insights, her adviser was the one that shared the prize.

3) There will be a Nobel prize for the discovery of gravitational waves. There are over a 1000 staff involved, but the prize can only be awarded to 3.

4) The perpetual ripoff actions of generic drug companies against patented drugs.

5) The abolition of income averaging in filing taxes for the average Joe.

etc etc.

In terms of the claims of silentarmy being as fast as Claymore miner, I believe this claim is disingenuous. I found that Claymore's miner yielded about a 5 - 10% increase for the R9-380 class card. Where it stood out is is for the 280x cards. I don't know why, but I still have 1 ASUS 280X, and 3 ASUS HD 7970 DCII's. For these 4 cards the mining rate increased by about 50% - 80% at stock clocks. The aggregate power consumption went down by about 1/3. For the 290X radeon card, the Claymore produced around 50sols/s.

Can confirm ~15% increase going from v1.0 to v2.0. Each of my Hawaii cards went from ~52S/s to ~60S/s

1.0 (Stable for over 48hrs)


2.0


Also CPU usage did increase from ~35% erratic on 1 core, to ~40% consistent usage across 3 cores, + some lower and more erratic usage across 2 other cores. This is on an old Thuban @ 3.7GHz. I am going to guess any old quad core from Core2 days and onwards, or maybe any decent hyper-threaded dual core from Sandy Bridge onwards (core i3+) should be able to handle it.



Looks like this resulted in higher GPU usage though which is a good thing.

Installed v2 last night and this morning, i noticed that has rate did go up quite well but share rate went down.

Sounds irrelevant but wondering if other members see the same when they install v2.

yes. Right. for usage of CPU his going to fix this in next version." Baby don't worry , every things all right .

As long as fixing doesn't decrease the sols anymore If it is a trade-off between the cpu running a bit harder or losing sols, I would rather take the former. Of course I spend the extra $10 and put more than the cheapest Celeron I could find in my rigs, so it is not as big of an issue.

don't see the addition of speed what was and has remained so graphics card R9 380

bot after 2 minutes I have more than hash rate. sounds good  

don't i have one card from circa 2012

just when fixing add us oldschoolers with 280x cards a few sols more ))

yes the have responded to my ticket and my unpaid balance has increased, i just panic quick with as much as a total of 23.5% in fees there is no time for bs

It looks like they "just" started paying out again. My balance updated on the pool page and I have a 0 of 24 confirm deposit waiting on Polo.

submitted a ticket and not even acknowledgement Bailed for now 
Edit to many fees for that Shit

I think this miner or maybe more precisely the implementation of the mining algorithm is using parts of the rig that we did not previously have to worry about. I have several RX480 and RX470 rigs and they are all over the board from one another and I have yet to pin down the exact reason. Some rigs I can get close to 50 Sols/card (47-49) and others barely break the low 40's. Core and memory clocks seem to not work in the expected way, with lower clocks often meeting or beating higher clocked rates.

I have noticed the modified BIOS 1500 or 1375 straps does seem to help. Also as some suggested, tightening the core and memory clocks to be closer together also seems to help some. I have found that cards directly in a PCIe x 16 slot do perform better than those on risers, but not by much. Also it seems a faster CPU in the rig is also helpful.

v2.0 is also working great

390 Hashrate increased from around 44 to 51

Same..

"Zcash is still alpha software, use the pool at your own risk. We cannot compensate any losses." So they collect some extra ZEC for themselves (again)
