It's true that GG's Ethash kernel performs better on Windows.
I just started with optimizations anyway.

So, respectfully, what ever happened to Zcash? We still don't have a first-rate open source miner. All these other algos already have decent open source miners available to them. Just sayin'. Smiley


Oh, I haven'y given up on that yet.
You have to understand, though, that the competition for Zcash miners is much more intense than those for other miners, and my resources are quite limited. It seems to me that people assume that first-class open-source miners just automagically happen, but that's simply not the case.
“Automagically” Cheesy I love that Word. No they probably got hyped, you managed to get so many miners and you look like a developer who can achieve this and they do not know the process of coding usually, so they automatically think you will do it but they have no idea how long it will take, they know you can but don’t know when basically.

So, they keep bothering developers, its a common thing in any development job not just miners. From basic html5 games to complex financial software its all the same.
