Sounds to me more like professional jealously.

Absolutely not. Some users discovered it and simply told me about it: https://forum.z.cash/t/silentarmy-v3-now-a-full-miner-multi-gpu-stratum/3580/629

This cryptomined fellow is like a Spanish Inquisition.
Very aggressive to put as much black PR as he can on claymore...

Doesn't look like aggression to me though..

Not even jealousy..


Just facts, that aren't completely true.

I went ahead and setup Claymore's 2.5% fee miner and ran it.

My 2x480's in my test machine never got over 47 sol per card. (Let it run for an hour).
While the Silent army one modified by Nerdralph never got lower than 48!! Even spikes to 56Sol.  Grin
Also let it run for an hour to get a better look on the pool results. And yup, those were even higher then the reported sols as well.

So basically, Claymore didn't take the silent army kernel and implemented it, he took it, made it slower and put a big ass fee next to it and made all of you people think that you hit the jackpot, haha  Grin

And now laughing his ass off watching his "Sols" go up in all those pools  Cheesy and thinking : "Suckers...."

  Cool


Edit: I have to admit, after reading the convo between Mrb and Claymore, respect that he admitted his fault and doesn't try to hide it. Kudo's.

What about cpu usage on nedralph ft. mrb miner vs. claymore's?

Two rigs, both have 3 gpus each.
I know, the i5-3570 is a better cpu (or haswell inferior to ivy bridge), but the numbers are convincing in favour of Claymore.
