i have issue rig stil mining but ethermine status 0 mhs reported sometimes in 2-3days mining, randomly happen

share continue nothing change but reported hashrate gone and avegare & current status  slowly downturn, seems weird, no error happening on console/miner

right now i tried different dns, something weird happen lately

this happen atleast when defi craze start, at first september, i.m using 0.6.1 btw, skipped 0.7.9 cause using 2% more power consumption

any idea new version trm will come out?

Hi! Just an explanation around the performance of 0.6.1 vs later versions. I've done some posts around it in our discord, but always good to provide the info here as well.

So, 0.6.1 is indeed a little more efficient. It's using a better choice of memory instructions than later versions. However, there's a big downside: the more efficient instructions won't work for > 4GB DAG, so after epoch 384 TRM 0.6.1 is dead for ETH. We chose to take the hit early and ship a generic version that can handle large epochs without any specific driver support. The 2% efficiency loss is from having to handle some aspects with compute instructions that in 0.6.1 is handled by the hardware. It would have been good to keep the older/more efficient kernels as well though, using them for as long as possible.

We are looking to do a kernel rewrite in the near future, I'd be hoping to maybe trim some fat off of those 2%, ending up somewhere between 0.6.1 and 0.7.15 in terms of efficiency. For raw hashrate, the differences are minimal.
i think sometimes missing reported hashrate  cuased by dns, i change norton dns and now 4 days is stable,

thx advance for explanation for efficency, any idea how much vega hashrate for chikwa2?

before fpga take control, turtle mining very profitable in early days. just hoping new algo favor to gpus
