in the zeus litecointalk forum, from what i understand, zeus is leaving the patch up to the community, that they can't reduce the power use but they should be able to increase the hashrate if tweaked correctly. Who knows who or what will actually come thru though. People are saying 3.1.1 isn't updated enough which is what I brought up in a question in the locked forum. After a lot of reading of forums searching for cgminer to compile myself (IF I could on windows easily) I found the Icarus drivers were buggy back in 3.1.1, so if gaw or zeus didn't fix what they copied, there ya go.

On another note....

Thank you, Josh, for the additional credit you announced. I noticed zeus was offering new perks as well, so I'm glad to see you came up with something too. Instead of store credit, can you send it in crypto like BTC or LTC or other alts? Perhaps make an option on the website to use store credit to buy some coin that you guys mine during testing, for those people not wanting more tech? Thank you Josh!

I think there are two different issues: cgminer/zenminer/etc i.e. mining software, and firmware for the miners themselves.

Zeus promised a quick firmware update after the initial release, since they were so far off their power consumption targets, but apparently that was only an attempt to reduce order cancellations and there is no improved firmware forthcoming any time soon.

As for the mining software, this is way too confusing - if you go to Zenminer website you'll see them claiming they support Zeus, but Zeus themselves are not mentioning Zenminer anywhere and as far as I can figure out they are instead working on their own controller software (that's where the "community" is supposed to pitch in). Well, I have the DHL package waiting for me, will try to sort this out over the weekend.

GAW credits are great unless you purchased a Fury or upgraded a hosted blade to a Black Widow, in which case you're apparently SOL.
