So for reasons I can't fully disclose, I've ported the kernels from Claymore's miner into Genoil's miner. For us, this is a boon because it allows us to verify and rebuild the miner source (it makes its way into projects around here, so this is super useful) and validate its speed. I'm not allowed to talk about what it is I'm doing, but I do have permission to release the code (it's based off of an open source project), so I've created a new repo with this code:
https://github.com/goobur/ethminer-cm
Read the release notes for details.
Generally, for all of our RX 580's we get performance increases on par with Claymore's miner. Although we don't have a whole array of other cards to test on, so your mileage may vary on other AMD cards, right now it seems that Ellesmere, Baffin, Pitcarin and Tahiti cards are working for sure. Also, we don't have any NVIDIA cards, (well, not enough to target them) so the CUDA kernels in this release are the same as vanilla Genoil's kernels.
Also, I'm now onto a different task at work (we don't really care much about dual mining). But I'm pretty fond of this project and I'd like to keep working on it -- specifically I'd like to add dual mining (which I know how to do, but would take some time). I'm just unsure which dual coin I should add first. So in order to decide, I'll let people vote via donations : )

I do want to keep working on this, but it's hard to without any incentive. If you don't want to donate, I definitely understand and I still want you to use this software (and any further releases) for free.
: )
Cheers!
