Yes, I know this thread is outdated, but I'm trying to find a workaround.  I'm mining an altcoin that uses the ethash algo on a 1050TI.  This is NOT for profit, but for speculative mining on a new altcoin that can be mined on a 4GB card.  I get a 14% speed bump on this miner initially over other miners I've used, until it realizes it cannot connect for the dev fee, then it throttles.  Since the actual eth pools cannot be connected to post merge, is there a way to keep Claymore from throttling?
