Re: [Mining OS] SimpleMining.net - BETA UPGRADE 2-7% performance boost
Its makes completly no sense installing more packages that uses cpu, ram, and makes booting longer.
You have ssh for this
Also be adviced that my auto updates can easly destroy what you installed.
I dont advice to do own modifications and i cant support them as it would be very difficult to mantain all different versions of my system.
Also.
I have possibility to buy tool for 0.25 BTC which can overclock gpus by setting specific core and memory clocks in MHz.
Still i dont have cash to buy this tool.
I gues it would be nice to have possibility to set specific clocks and not dpm levels right ?
Propably need to impelemnt those fees fast and gather some cash to buy this tool

I appreciate your input but respectfully disagree.
One problem is that SimpleMining stock does not work well with the Pro Duo so I needed to change some things to get it to work effectively. Secondly and most importantly it is extremely difficult if not impossible to make custom ROMs and test them through SSH. If I was using ROMs that 98% of forum members are using then it would be great but I am not. They are customized for each GPU and that yields 10-15% more profit beyond the typical forum custom ROMs(Either by higher overclock or lower power usage).
The ROMs that are used by most people are nothing more than cookie cutter adjustments made with Polaris Bios Editor or equivalent and DO NOT come close to what can be done Hex Editing the ROM. Hex editing the ROM can yield a significant advantage but where the REAL difference is made is in editing the ROM for each card individually to maximize the power savings and overclock potential.
Having a desktop environment may cost me a few percent but not having one cost me 15%.
As far as the Update messing things up, it isn't a big deal for me as I have a couple of distros I use for my miners but because I have a few friends using SimpleMiner I thought I would give it a shot.
Lastly, I haven't looked closely into your distro yet but I am wondering why you cannot change the mem and core clocks individually through a config file for the miner. It seems that would be the easiest implementation.
BTW- I do think you are doing a great job
