Though on a side note my hardware error rate is slowly creeping back up to 6.8 already. Going to try and downgrade to 9.6.1 my self and see if its any better.
Also bear in mind that if the hashrate looks higher artificially on the kncminer version, then the hardware error % rate will also look artificially lower.
Thanks... So i take it i have to keep putty running to keep this version of cgminer? i notice when i close putty my miner stops and i got to reboot it to get it back online again. Or is there a way to run this so i don't have to have my laptop on? Also is there a way so it starts with this version after a restart? thanks
