I'm using claymore as well and I can't get back the old 54MHs like the old days no matter what setting I did. So am I to understand that the new DAG did something to the Etherpill that the best we can get is 49MHs?
The hashrate can be increased with a tablet (

on average, the result will be visible for two hours, incrementally. Working on the Claymore and Phoenix
Therefore it is still possible to return to the previous old values
