for those of you still chasing XMR profits, I just swapped from claymore to xmr-stak-win64 and am seeing better results; more consistent poolside hashrate reports, etc....
Monero fork is due on 28.03.18
After the fork monero will be mined with modified algo (so called V7). At the moment other cryptonight coins do not follow the fork.
So we have question - to keep mining coins with old algo with ASIC threatening any use of GPU for mining or to switch to new algo.
BTW XMR-STAK will release updated version of miner that will automatically switch to new monero algo and Claymore do not announce any intensions to update cryptonight miner to new algo.
I expect a big drop in overall monero hashpower just after the fork. Should we try to get a few extra coins from it?
