Hi Fullzero,

Do we need to add a swap space for v0019 release?
In claymore README for Windows 10, it's recommended to increase the pagefile to 16,000MB. I'm wondering if we also need to setup an extra "memory" for nvOC.

First, understand that these messages are very old, and Claymore doesn't change them (note the drivers they indicate to use).

Adding 16gb of VM, may increase stability; but it also will require using a larger usb, and a much longer download.  As not everyone mines ethash, this is not the optimal choice IMO.  

Later on I will look into dynamically enlarging the primary partition or making another to use as VM if there is enough space on the usb.  After I am done with v0019 and a new rxOC I will do this, I or someone else (there are lots of knowledgeable members here) could make a guide for modifying nvOC to have 16 gb VM to use for Claymore.

It is important to understand that it is not clear if adding VM or more RAM to the system has a direct correlation with increased system stability.  IMO using 8gb of ram is more stable, especially when dual ethash + additional algo mining; however it is almost impossible to isolate / measure stability fully and I am very skeptical of anyone who claims to have a definitive answer on this.

I think you don't gonna win any stability at all, on windows u have to increase pagefile for GPU registration if u use more them 4 GPU if i remember right. Linux dont have this issue, everything is more simple is unix world Wink

By the way i would like to present a new cryptocoin DeepOnion is based on anonymity via TOR network, he use basic of fair airdrop on 40th round is actually on round 6th. Is a restrictive AirDrop, u have to be a active member on bitcointalk with a registered date at least on 12 July and have ( with new rule cause this coin get a lot of attraction, going to the moon ) a Member status. A growing communauty actually really active, jump on the train before is to late Wink
For people dont reach preset, go on main forum and register u can participate and add your value how this community, u get rewarded for this. They also do a lot of GiveAway with some restriction or not, i actually do one https://www.deeponion.org/community/threads/contest-guess-the-number-round-4-win-onions.601/  

U can check more detail on the ANN of this little big boy here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2006010.0
