Can anyone help me with this?

2.7c Ive been running this since it came out and Ive noticed slowly my mining rate is going down and down over the weeks. yet in someways the speed has either gone up or at least stayed the same - the amount mined in a week is going down.  i have a pair of 1080ti's

as an example:

    The graph here is from ethermine.org and is for the last 24 hours. These are within the normal variations for a 24-hour period. However the amount mined per week (or whatever time period you want) doesn't depend only on hasrate but also on the difficulty, which is climbing as more and more mining rigs are added to the network.

Claymore 11.3 recently introduced a custom RX550 asm kernel
now I see this:

   We also ordered an RX550 so there will be optimized kernels for it in the next release.

coincidence ?
   You should ask Claymore about this. We are responding to a perfectly reasonable complaint that our miner doesn't support RX550 with optimized kernels, which you can see here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2647654.msg31697743#msg31697743


I have been testing this miner and so far it looks pretty stable in all fronts except fan settings which claymore still has the upper hand, for example -tt 60 -fanmax 90 on claymore works flawless, on this example, the miner will keep 90% fan speed until it hits 60c but it does not work like this on this miner. I wonder why.
    Could you tell us what version of AMD drivers you are using and what behavior of the fans you are observing? We definitely can and will make improvements in the hardware control options but we need more information to troubleshoot any problems.


+1 for linux version.

Please PM me if you have beta version so I can work on implementation within nvOC and do some preliminary tests before implementing it in the next version of nvOC.

Thanks!
    We will definitely do that. However we aren't there yet.


Please add Mix Coin to your available coins under the -coin feature.  Thank you.

    We'll try to squeeze this in the next full release.


Hi developers PhoenixMiner! Is it possible to implement the function of switching between the primary and backup pool in time? for example every 2 hours to switch for 30 minutes to another pool with another purse?

It would be very easy to implement it using batch or powershell. Run first command line, set a timer to kill the process, run the second command line, set a second timer, repeat.
   You don't even need to kill the process, you can use the -timeout option in combination with -rmode 0 to force the miner to shutdown after n minutes.

What about dual mining? A you going to add second coin?
   Yes, but no specifics on when and what algorithms will be supported.
