not that it's terribly important, but lots of people use claymore's miner.
two indications: watching closely the hashrate on flypool(about 40% of total zec hashrate) when the new miner is released it would look like everyone is using it...

also if you calculate the amount claymore made on his devfee zec account (the one posted here earlier) - it's 2.5% of the 10% of the total zec in circulation .. also it could be not the only one...

yes lots use it but do you want to be the one to suggest the proposal to and coordinate it all with the miners. Dont forget Claymore will have got more users when version 8 was bundled with the nicehash miner.

As was stated earlier all you would be doing if you mananged to make the deal with all the miners is create a artificial price point.

That is right. When the V9 comes out in the next few days, the Claymore will earn more. but that is fair deal.

I have no problem with claymore having a fee in his miner, its thanks to him I am able to mine (no coding knowledge so I wouldnt know where to start to even try to make my own).

Main problem I can see is the early adopters of the miners will get a slight income boost as they get the boost from the extra speed early but as more start to use it that extra income will vanish as the hashrate and difficulty rise.

the reason I'm mentioning the devfee is because it's a good indication that at least 10% of all zec was mined with claymore.
as for the devfee itself: my opinion was always the same - great incentive to support and update miners, so I'm good with this investment.
