v7.0:

- improved speed by about 15-25% (depends on card model). About 230H/s on stock 390X.
- added "-benchmark" option.
Is there any chance to upgrade miner versions using remote manager? Updating 2 or 3 miners is easy, but in case of big farm it takes lots of time.
I'm not complaining or something you have super speed and great miners, but this option would make it even better! Thanks!

You could use the "Execute reboot.bat" option in the miner manager to do it with something like this:

taskkill /f /im ZecMiner64.exe
robocopy \\server\share\claymore C:\claymore /XF config.txt
shutdown.exe /r /t 00

I haven't tested this but it should get you close.  I'm assuming reboot.bat goes on each mining rig.  Make sure each rig is logged in as a user with access to the network share.  /XF config.txt skips the config file so you don't lose your worker names.



It makes sense, but in that case I will have to update config files anyway. I'm thinking about active directory there are 78 host PCs already..

You don't already have working config.txt files?  Robocopy would leave them there. Other option is to use a start.bat file without config.txt so you can set each worker name to %computername%

That is one thing I don't like about config.txt.  No option (that I know of) to use computer name as worker name since env variables don't work with it.

With 76 pc's active directory and powershell would make sense though.  Even having to click reboot 76 times would be annoying.
