So all this shit aside, good SP is finally trying to make a long term solution here... There is literally no one else doing this except Claymore. Funny all the people bitching about fees. I do agree though that dev fee and flat fee combined are kind of silly though. The whole reason for a miner fee is for long term support and so you can get all the smaller miners in there as well.
A lot of people are now running 1070s. You probably wont see that many people purchasing this till there is some headway made with those units.
Well, you're surely one of them, you possess at least 80 gtx 1070
You forget many others, like tpruvot and wolf (lbry).
The main issue is that there's a general statement about the new miner capabilities, but is it confirmed by third party? What amount reaches a 970 at 1478MHz with the sp "ultimate? 1?
I am curious to see the new results mainly on the pascal architecture, because of maxwell right now isn't so useful. It could have a month ago on lbry, right now it's mediocre in average. A 980ti heavy overclocked have got a power consumption in the 260W range, if not more, so the efficiency (MH/W) goes down, and so the main reason to buy a "faster" kernel.
If there will be released a public version with a fee on it, hopefully not more than 2% like claymore, I"ll make an article about the MH/W ratios, with tpruvot 1.7.8, 1.8.1 and the new kernel.
I have no idea what you're talking about with Tpruvot and Wolf0. Wolf0 is almost exclusively AMD and Tpruvot doesn't always continue to try and improve algos, also tends to work on whatever he likes, just like Pallas (Pallas didn't even bother compiling his M7 improvements for Windows). SP has a history of continually trying to improve performance across broad algos.
Not sure what Ultimate edition miner has to do with the Lbry miner.
Pascal and Maxwell are different, yes, but that wasn't what he first introduced... There are plenty of people with 970s still running that started mining before the Ethereum bubble. It still is worthwhile mining on them compared to trying and sell them on eBay.
Current miner is a 2% fee, regardless of all the random fees that have nothing to do with it you tried to lump in with it... It should either be flat fee or miner fee, not both as I've mentioned though.
Fack checking:
1 tpruvot coded a faster kernel before the release of the optimized 1.8.1
2 wolf0 did the same on amd, with wonderful results
I don't like the tone of these discussions, so please keep a civil manner. I would like to discuss just about tech, not colliding with others.
You're right about sp, and it's a good thing that he's still here, but you also know that there have been many discussions in the past months regarding intensity settings, and the ownership of the kernels, especially between tpruvot and sp.
Sp have just responded you about the new pascal version, including all the other algos (pretty interesting, indeed).
You tried to lump... Man, you should relax. Take a break from pc's, it was just an example to all the others (that might not consider these factors)
Peace
