Started using your miner with version 6.0, I believe. Was getting ~140 h/s with a rx 480 red devil with core clock set to 1380 for most of my mining. Using -nofee (sorry!)

With 7.0 I was getting ~165 h/s

With 8.0 I'm getting 180-190(!) h/s, with -i set to 6

No instability issues with your miner, ever. While others have sent me to BSOD for various errors they have.

Incredible work Claymore! Looking forward to what else you can squeeze out of this gem.

I can't understand this idea of mining with no fee. It is demand and supply rule. He is offering you something in exchange of reward! All of us are doing the same. We are mining on some network like Eth or ZEC ( this keep all network alive and workable) and in return for your services network give rewards ( Zec's and Ethers ). And the price for the services is established by the service provider, but is confirmed by the market. So if the market use this miner at this price, the price is good. So I do not understand why Claymore added -nofee option, but normally if you think is expensive for you, don't buy, simple as it is. But to use the best miner at the moment and to add -nofee option to save couple of cents......it's not correct!

I agree with u though i don't mind at all what people choose (using -nofee option or not).. I understand internet is a free world (but of course as free as it is every environment has rule).. and here's my point, I see this rule is a bit unfair.. with -nofee option, yes the performance might decrease around 5% so it is said.. but do not forget the power use might decrease more than 5%.... so.. it is possible that with -nofee option can give a better efficiency (H/Watt ratio) than without -nofee option... so consider the users of this miner as customer using the service, normally the paying customer (without -nofee option) should have better service than the free customer (with -nofee option)... just an opinion..
