Hi Mattthev,

like many others I am new to mining and GPU OC.

Here is the situation:
Recently I discovered
Gateless Gate Sharp 1.1.18: zawawa's open-source dual ETH/XMR/PASC/LBC/FTC miner
and I actually have great success mining Cryptonight with zawawa's miner.

I mean a hash rate of 1,070 h/s for each RX 580 is not bad at all.
With Claymore's I never had more than 1,017 h/s, which is also not bad.
Ethash is working ok at 28.5 mh/s (Claymore's 29.2 mh/s).
If I understood correctly zawawa is currently implementing Equihash.

Anyway, with some recent release zawawa's miner became unstable on my rig (6 x MSI Radeon RX580 Gaming X 8GB with Samsung memory).
With v1.1.14 the miner stopped once a day (with i'm using right now with a batch in a loop because the monitor is not reliable).
But with v.1.1.19 the miner restarted 13 time last night (with the monitor working perfect).

To remove support requests (of my kind, I guess) zawawa does not support bios modded toward Claymore's any longer.
Which is fair enough.

Zawawa is doing a tremendous job answering all forum posts, bug fixing and implementing new features etc. all at the same time.
Therefore I belief zawawa deserves the 1% devfee and I really want to bear with him.

Currently my bios is modded with the UberMix 2.3 timing strap copied to 1:1500 and up taken from the source code of jaschaknack's PolarisBiosEditor v.1.6.4:

And the Good HYNIX_2 copied into 2:1500 and up (which was necessary I have learned afterwords):

Would you be able to mod the bios for my RX580 specific for Zawawa's miner?
If so, how many beer's would be required?

Cheers
