XMR support has been added!
Keep in mind folks, this is a pre-release version. Currently, there is a bug with Windows where it crashes upon mining. We're able to reproduce it, but not able to
find it.
I'd like to ask the community, though - what coin would you like to see next for SGMiner-GM?
I'm getting steady 30MH/s on each Fury X on stock clocks (1050/500). Claymore's can only get about 28MH.
A 390 at 1040Mhz gets 29Mh, with some overclocking I can surely can 32-33MH, but my cards warm up too much. Definitely the best miner out there.
The only issue I can spot is the CPU usage, which makes this miner basically worthless on weak CPUs. I couldn't run it on a single-core AMD CPU and a friend of mine had his rig crashing with a dual core Celeron installed. most mining rigs have very weak CPUs, and if this miner gets updated to support them, I am sure it will get much more traction.
Has it been determined that this issues running on systems with weak CPUs is real? Is there a fix coming? I am wondering if this is the problem I am having on my multi-gpu mining rigs. One GPU run at the right hash rate while the others run at half. No matter what I do with the settings I cannot resolve this issue. Both rigs have single core AMD CPUs. I would love to use sgminer with its RPC capabilities but I am not going to invest in bigger CPUs for it.
Thanks.
If you search Wolf0's post in this thread, you will find that he posted a fix for the CPU usage bug.
Here it is again for those that don't want to look back through the thread. I can confirm it no longer hogs the CPU on one core.

I've gone ahead and added Wolf's fixed sgminer.exe to the release page, here:
https://github.com/genesismining/sgminer-gm/releases/tag/5.3.0-gmI would like to see the bugs in the current version fixed. sometimes it just says "found a block" at random times. additionally the miner has a bug where it stops showing the hashrates and shares if click on the miner's window. other than that it's a great miner.
Maybe Zcash? I'm sure it will make it really popular.
