hello, i just found a big bug on your miner
....
  The "bug" is that you did not change the wallet address in epools.txt to your own. It was already discussed several times in the last few weeks. In the new version, the example epools.txt file is named epools_example.txt to avoid similar problems in the future. If you want to use epools.txt, just rename epools_example.txt to epools.txt and put your own wallet address there.


@PhoenixMiner, you said:

...
  • Increased the maximum supported DAG epoch to 450. Note that AMD drivers don't allow buffers larger than 4 GB so the biggest possible DAG epoch with current AMD drivers is 378
...

So... Are all 4+ Gb AMD cards (even Radeon VII) become usless, when we reach epoch 378? If AMD didn't fix drivers...
Please, correct me if I wrong.
  No, not at all, it was just a warning that trying -bench 380 or above on AMD card will fail even it has more than 4 GB of VRAM. We will get there after about 16 months, so either AMD will release fixed drivers by then that allow allocation of more than 4 GB, or we will implement a workaround, using more than one buffer.
