new kernel for the version in github/djm34 http://ge.tt/41D9Y872/v/0?c
(it should work with metallicjames is you use in lyra2RE.cl the blake256 code of metallicjames version.

current hashrate on my 290x at 1030/1250 with -g2 -I20 -w64   1.46MH/s (average after stabilization) was 1.32MH/s before

(even though it was a paid job... vtc has fall off  Grin) so please makes updating the code worthy...

please also report problems as well as your speed (I can't reach the 1500MH mem clock... so I am a little curious)

I'm getting about 1.1MHs with 280x, but I'm getting a lot of "share above target" rejects on nicehash! Maybe 50% of rejects. This is probably the same thing others have reported, pool only sees half hashrate..

This is with latest sgminer from your github.

add "--difficulty-multiplier 2" to the command line (don't know exactly what is the equivalent for the conf file)

It's "difficulty-multiplier": "2",

This works on the command line or in the global part of the config, but not in pool specific settings... Which makes it useless for Nicehash.

The difficulty should be fixed in sgminer source.
badman needs to make a new release and changes in algorithm.c the "256,256" of lyra2re kernel and replace it by "128,128"
(that would solve once for all expecting no change occurs on the pool side)

edit: just made the change on my github repositary
i did that to start when 256,256 didn't work
