Re: [ANN] sgminer v5 - optimized X11/X13/NeoScrypt/etc. kernel switching miner
Hey djm34, there's something is wrong with the compiled binary that you post https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=404364.msg9817141#msg9817141
When hashing lyra2RE (vtc), the hashrate shown on the miner is indeed faster 5-10% than the metalicjames one, but on pool it will only record half the hashrate.
All stats normal, low rejected shares, no hardware errors that are shown on the miners.
Tested it on two different pools, coinotron and hashlink.eu, still when using your windows binary, only half hashrate will be recorded on the web.
Somehow only half the shares are sent by the miners or accepted by the pool.
And it's not just estimations only, the coin received is halved for the same time period.
When back on using metalicjames version, the hashrate going back to normal again.
Where's that half hashrate gone??
Could you please recheck the binaries. Thanks.
must be related to the difficulty adjustment..., I will re-upload it. In the mean time there is also a difficulty multiplier option in sgminer (it shows as deprecated in the help, however it still works).

Also, I think that several pool are still tuning their hash report things...
Nah man it isn't the pool. I gave this a try and thx for it...finally got to that sweet 640-660 kh/s x 5 (3.2) but on Givemecoins pool showing exactly half (~.1.65). Change back to sgminer RC1 back to 550 kh/s but showing correct on pool.
What you are telling shows that it depends on which pool you run... so it is up to the pool admi to set up the pool corectly so that it coressponds the hashrate the miner tell you.
So 3 pools haven't been set up right for your fork? Because b/w me and one other person posting about this that makes 3. But yet these 3 pools report correctly with another miner? Seems strange to me...
Yep same for me, already mentioned that briefly in the Vertcoin thread.

Sticking to the first sgminer release for now.
