hm, can't connect to pool?! 5 minutes staying on "connecting"

Ok, so whats the final verdict?
which gpu's or cpu's?
Want to start buying.
which gpu's or cpu's?
Want to start buying.
Defeninatly buy GPUs , I just tried a high end I7 6800 cpu with 12 cores and 32gb of ram and it only gets 16 sols (using the nicehash miner) vs a rx 470 that gets 17 sols
I heard there is a better CPU miner though
I'd agree with buying GPUs at this point. While improvements have been made in CPU performance, I think there is a lot more room for improvements to be made on the GPU side of things. Also you can have the best of both worlds. By running that 12 core CPU of yours on a 6-7 GPU rig, you can use 8-10 of those cores for dedicated mining and leave the other 2-4 cores idle to process the GPU parts.

@eXtremal couple of things , thanks for releasing the miner, its not the fastest but it works great and is easy to use , sometimes that trumps speed.
-you pool fee is too high, I plan to mine at your pool but 4% seems a tad high, 2% would bring you a lot more money in the long run becase people would pay.
-you need to implement cloudlfare or some sort of DDOS protection or you pool will not be up for long I can guarantee the big cloud mining opps will DDOS you to hell.
hehe that sounds so dirty for other companies to attack
Its a fact of the mining industry now man sad but its the internet they can hide behind their bots and the SEC and other agencies don't give a F about digital currencies yet so its a risk reward thing, no risk at all

Whichever the program displays, I forgot. Maybe its Sol/s
They are the same. It's preferred to refer to it as Sols or Sol/s to avoid confusion.
Actually the above pdf is saying that there is a difference.
From what I understand if your getting 100sol/s its really 50h/s.
Can anyone confirm this?

nice! clocking ~18Sols/s on the same R9 390X that does ~22 using my own brew. your miner has one major advantage though...it actually comes up with solutions that are accepted by the pool 
An optimal solution should be able to do near 100 H/s (i.e. 200 sol/s) on a R9 380. With 2 million records and 32-64 bytes of memory IO per record * 10 rounds = 1.28GB of memory bandwidth per hash. The R9 380 with a memory clock of 1.5Ghz has 192GB/s of bandwidth. The hard part is making full use of that bandwidth when you have small random IO. Ethash is just at the fringe of being able to maximize memory bandwidth with 128-byte random reads. Since an equihash solver requires a lot of small reads and writes, the algorithm and data structures need to be optimized for the GPU memory architecture. i.e. 8 x 32-bit channels working with 2K pages and a 256-byte stride per wavefront.
I expect by the 28th we'll see GPU miners doing 50-60 sol/s, and close to 100 sol/s a month from now. Hopefully one of the faster ones will be mine. :-)
So its deff H/s not Sol/S to go off?
Everyone was telling me its the same thing or to go off Sol/s?
Is it better to wait off on these cards to see if some updates work better on other cards first?
Wagner's algorithm produces 2 solutions to the generalized birthday problem. Each equihash run produces 2 solutions, so 1 equihash/s = 2 solutions/s.
If you want to know the details, read the paper. It's a heavy read though. It wasn't until the 2nd or 3rd time I read it that I started to really understand the algorithm enough to start thinking about coding.

Thanks for the info.
I see people swapping the terms all the time which makes it confusing to figure out which one they actually mean.
