I am also going with direct cgminer until zenminer is up, but getting way too many invalids and hardware errors. Are you getting hardware errors.
15 hardware errors on 195 accepted. I am using the Fury at 6 chips.
I'm running at 1.3 MH/s on cgminer with 2400 accepted to clevermining with 131 hardware errors, which is not too great. Using the config they posted with chip count at 6. Hopefully when I get to work tomorrow the zenMiner stuff will be sorted out, and I can test with that.
