with remote manager, the applied settings from config.txt should apply automatically? no miner restart or anything needed?
Somehow this function doesnt work for me, just says in miner window that config.txt has been applied but nothing changes.
If you send a new config file using the remote manager I believe you need to restart miner to apply the new config settings.
@BenSF is correct.
When you update your config.txt using the remote manager you need to restart the miner for settings to take effect. Claymore miner only reads the config file when the miner starts. That's why there is a "restart miner" option in the remote manager.
