Claymore, is this fix relevant to your miner

https://github.com/Genoil/cpp-ethereum/issues/36

It could fix some low difficulty shares, at least in ethminer.  

My miner does not use any sources from ethminer, so any bugs/fixes related to ethminer are not related to it.

Hi Claymore,
I'm also wondering how your miner handles such cases what genoil has fixed here: After having received a new job, will your miner still submit stale shares for the replaced job?


In fact, stale shares are invalid shares. If some pools want to get stale shares I will add such option, but some pools can count stale shares as invalid shares and you will ask me why miner sends more invalid shares. Therefore I will check all popular pools how they work with stale shares, so I can decide if this option must be enabled or disabled by default. Anyway, I will add this option in next update.
BTW, stale shares rate is less than 1% for my miner.
