+1 would love to see a claymore update to current algo!
It's very unlikely, last update was to CN-V7 and miner was set free by Claymore. Since then, 2 additional tweaks have been done to monero's POW.
Why is it unlikely? It will take too lot of Claymore's work to take into account all the additional settings to the algorithm?
Hmm.. MY guess is that it isn't profitable for Claymore anymore. So no more updates and miner fee-less for everyone for now.
Yet, a statement from Claymore about this would be nice.
I think it would be profitable for him to update the miner. I think he cannot be bothered though, maybe he wants some freetime to spend all the money he is making from the other miners that generates cashflow.
A bull run would put all these views and assumptions to test.
