@Fullzero - thanks so much. This is working so well for me. 
A few requests if I could be be so selfish:
1) Can you confirm that this version of Genoil the optimizations merged from this pull request? Seems like people are getting 6%-10% performance improvement on GTX 1060's (https://github.com/Genoil/cpp-ethereum/pull/228)
2) Any chance of adding in the Creep Miner for Burstcoin (proof of capacity) mining (https://github.com/Creepsky/creepMiner). Then we'd have GPU, CPU, and Hard Drive mining in one!
3) Beyond cleaning out headers, are there other ways to get the image smaller so we can have more disk space, and/or offer a bigger image because most of us are using 32GB thumb drives? I like to add a few personalizations but don't have the space to download all the dependencies and make the apps
Keep up the great work!

yes this is new cuda implementation I used when compiling Genoil: the hash changes DRAMITACALLY as you increase the memory clock; however most of these clocks are currently unstable.
I suspect most of the individuals who have reported 10% gains; did so before having a soft crash and realizing that although the client is capable of significantly higher hashrates; it is not stable with most of them.
In my experience with this; I have found running the client with less cards is more stable and can reach higher OC (thus more gains).

I will add this to the list.

You can extend the primary partition on any key / ssd; by connecting it to a computer with nvOC that has already booted and clicking the ubuntu launcher at the top left and typing
gp
then click Gparted. Find the sdb drive select the larger partition; it it is mounted unmount it; then rightclick and select resize and set the max size.
click the green checkmark to execute the change, wait for completion and it should be ~17gb larger.
I am planning on increasing the image to 32gb + add the cmds to enable Claymore / other clients to use 16gb VM in a later version.
Awesome! You rock.
What's your address for sending hashes?
