-1. How can I change the gpu frequency's, fan speed and tune in Linux Ubuntu.. when I change it in the config file it seems that nothing happens even when I restart the miner.
Under Windows with the normal (non silent army version 0.2.1) I just tweak with AMD's Wattman and sols/s go up higher after restarting the miner.
But it seems Ubuntu doesn't have a tweak tool for this right?? I'd really like to ramp up my fans a bit as the gpu's running pretty hot after a while and setting best freqs would be nice as well.

-2. I'm really worried about the only pool we can use with this miner for now.. coinsforall really really looks scammish with the 4% fee and 4 coins minimum payout.. that's just really untrustworthy,.. there're the only one getting all our hash power .. what if they just dissapear with our zec before anyone got any of those 4 coins. Any body worked with this pool before for the other coins.. can we trust this pool??
Therefore.. stratum would be great.

Solomine or build your own pool.
The fees on the pool are the last things that affect the miner profitability. To be clear, a 0% fee pool could take 10%, no one would notice. The fee is mostly a psychological thing.


Thanks,

-1,. I'll check the links if I can make something work with that.


-2,. yea, well still stratum would be a lot beter.


-3. ethosdistro just made an announcement here: http://ethosdistro.com/blog/ that they will be supporting zcash (an other most profitable coins) in the near immediate future. Comming in there next realease 1.1.3
Using ethOS already for a long time to mine ETH and it works great. oh and also they will be adding a "new ethOS browser-based terminal, which will allow setup and configuration of ethOS rigs by connecting to their IP addresses via a regular computer web browser."
