Also we have been getting bigger hashrate for about 3-5% with lower settings on SMOS Linux 2.0 although with a different miner called DSTM.
Nothing to do with OS, its because of the miner. EWBF is old and not developed for a long time now. Where DSTM is in active development.
I tried SMOS 2.0, but way too many bugs, too fresh, I`ll wait few more releases then try again. They don`t even have option for sol/s for ZEC, but kh/s.
I cannot afford to be faffing around with SMOS spending my time making screenshots to devs of whats not working, I need to be mining to make money.
Exactly what I said, it's because of a different miner - DSTM.
They have option for SOL/s.
Reported 3 bugs on their slack channel that were fixed in 2.0.1 update, works flawlessly on all rigs since then, gtx 1060, 1070 and rx 570, not sure what are you doing there exactly.
4. Turn off the rig on the dashboard
I think 4. already exists at the top right there's a button.
