Hi guys, hope you are doing well today.

Wanted to know, any chance to ask Claymore to update his drvfee address? As Dwarfpool is not working anymore his mining configuration may be affecting the mining process and dropping the hashrate more than it should. I don't know if that's just me, but in my case the hashrate drops significantly everytime the rig wants to connect to his Dwarfpool mining address as the pool is not working anymore. Anyone can let him know? please.

We asked him to fix this many times in the past. I also had issues with the Dwarfpool dev fee issues. I also had other issues where it fails to mine on the dev fee pool and eventually stops mining all together because the software thinks you are trying to cheat it. Very annoying because it causes the rigs to do a full hang and require a cold restart.

Last time he was active in this thread was Nov 2019, he was usually very active in the past, even when he didn't make updates. Now I think he might be retired from developement. He made crazy gains since his miner was the only decent software during the 2017 market boom and probably saved up tons of ETH and just living on an island somewhere.

I supposed something like that. So, we are using an out of date software that is not being maintained and is causing problems due to the developer lack of commitment. Is he even alive? I can't believe someone could just let the golden eggs chicken and just leave. Anyway, hope he fixes the problem.

Thanks for letting me know...

There are plenty of other capable miners that mining as well if not better than Claymore (at least on the pool reported hashes end). Just because a miner says it's giving a high rate doesn't neccessarily mean it is performing the best. A lot of lazy miners don't bother looking to make sure the pool side is reflecting what the terminal side says. If dual mining was still viable this miner would be decent but those days have for the most part passed.

Hi, thanks for your response. In my case it is not about lazy it's about knowledge. I will search for new miners then. It is a shame Claymore has this problems, it is a very good software. Any chance you could point the name of some better software you are aware of?

Thanks a lot.

Sorry I didn't see your response earlier. Phoenixminer seems to be a good alternative for mining under Windows environment (at least for Dagger Hashimoto). TeamRedMiner is also well supported by many pools. There are other older miners but you can expect some issues with various pools and perhaps not the best performance on newer hardware using those older miners. To find them you simply need to scroll through pages here on the forums.

Be careful if searching for miners on google. That's a good way to introduce virus/trojans onto your system/network. They prey on new users who don't pay attention to unsafe links they click on.
