Silentarmy vs Optiminer results

I'm running ubuntu with 6x rx 470 8GB

With SA I averaged 520 sols/s using 700W
With Optiminer I'm averaging 660 sols/s using 740W

That is about a 27% increase in speed and this is all with the 15% dev fee included already.

I'm going to have to stick with Optiminer until SA releases a faster Linux miner.
Wow, 15% devfee is insane.  And so many whined about Claymore devfee, even when miner was 100% faster.  I was assuming the devfee on that miner was crazy high since he wouldn't tell you what it was.  Some report Optiminer as unstable, and it is Linux only and harder to set up. Are you comparing solves over time at pool?

The dev fee is a bit ridiculous but still not bad enough to not use his miner. I have been running the miner for about 4hrs now with with no issues. And I am using flypool to compare the two.

If it works, then go ahead and use it, if you get more profit after devfee, its better for you.  I would try it if it were on Windows.  I am just observing no one has complained about the 15% devfee, yet everyone complained about 2.5% when there were a ton of slow, unstable, and/or pool locked miners at the time.

That's why i haven't tired it . and I'm not going to . I wasn't complaining about claymore  fee so much as i was give us a choice or way around it. he did !!! . imo  to late. and his miner at the time was the only working windows miners worth using and after he put in the off flag for the fee i left it on.  ).
