less than optiminer for linux, or at least not better.
linux allows to switch seemlessly. my win 10 rig restarts periodically, which is annoying.
optiminer is absolutely a beast on old cards, like r7 370
I have R7-370s in my test rig, with v5 .... its 60 H/s ... this is crazy for a such a low end card!
Meanwhile, a 4xNano rig on Biostar Z170, after 9 hours with v5, 621 H/s !!!
PCI Slot #0 Nano is posting at 171 H/s !!!
I got about 70-73 H/s with Optiminer (vs Claymore's 60 H/s) for R7 370 on Ubuntu.
Will see if it is stable overnight
Five card rig=350-370 H/s
IMHO, the extra 10-13 h/s, I think doesnt justify the 15% dev fee that Optiminer charges.
60 on Claymore, then 2.5% fee is subtracted
74 on Optiminer AFTER fee is subtracted.
Which one is better for my pocket?
I would say the latter for 25% more.
Besides, It would be a nightmare for me to run a multitude of windows as i would have to pay for all those licenses.
yes, many people here don't care and run Windows not activated (basically, pirated).
I am not going to do this and as a result prefer open sourced Linux.
you got a point there Biodom
I am a newbie in Linux and have started dabbling on Ubuntu for months now - slowly getting there and finally I got ethOS like build on a fast thumbdrive and thats all I need to run Claymore ETH miner for at least half of the farm headless and HDDless, SSDless.....
... now on the matter of ZEC, if given the chance going Linux is ideal just like the scenario above.... but after the v1.1 Linux drama, going to Optiminer will mean losing all my "ethman" monitoring, dashboards and controls.... I don't mind those giving up those flashing ethman alerts if I have 3-4 rigs.... but managing 28 rigs is a real headache if you don't have the monitoring and dashboard controls. Claymore's monitoring utility is pretty slick and it can report 3 coins at the same time, ETH, XMR and ZEC...
