I see some posts that V8 reached hardware limits and there is no way to improve speed anymore. It's not true.
I'm working on new version with another good speedup, though it takes more time and efforts.
And whats the point?? High temperatures, more electricity and same profit, cuz all are with the new miner. Your new versions are not helpful, do you know that?
My miner does not support Linux, Nvidia, CPUs. They will not get any speedups from my miner.
Though I'm ready to stop development if most of people think so. It's not a problem for me at all. Make a vote somewhere to see results.
If Claymore didn't release his miner we all would have been using other public miners for linux or their windows ports. They are not that far from Claymore v8 speeds, but are very unstable under windows at least. Besides, I know for at least 1 private miner sold to the biggest farms which I suppose is really fast. I think the difficulty and hence the earnings are not affected so much by Claymore's miner. We should be thankful to Claymore for his perfect job. Trolling and negativity is only in the favour of the big farms, imo.
