Ethminer: Dual mining! Is it possible to evolve Ethminer into a Dualminer?

[fynxer]

Find it disturbing Claymore has cornered the market for dual mining. If you could combine the amazing performance of Ethminer with some other coins for dual mining it would be a instant hit with the entire mining community.

Thx to all you guys working on and developing Ethminer, i really appreciate it. If i could program i would be right there alongside you all helping out developing.

Ethminer was developed for eth. It needs to be improved a lot if you need dual mining. Use claymore and pay him a small fee. I think it deserves the effort he put out.

Just saying Claymore need competition, it only drives development.

At the moment i am running 2.5GH+ on ethereum with 90% nVidia cards and the other day i started a test phase jumping every 24 hours between Ethminer and Claymore on Etereum. Ethminer gave aprox around 100 shares more an hour than Claymore during each test. That my friends is around 4% devfee, not the advertised 1% that Claymore says.

His closed miner maybe can't be trusted 100% so an alternative open DualMiner developed by the collective hive mind of all interested users could maybe create an awesome dualminer that every user can trust 100%.

You can run the other miners at the same time. Just lower the intensity.

100 shares could be something or it may not be. Depends on the difficulty of the share and you're probably using a vardiff pool.

You just hit the nail on the head, 100 shares/hour could be something or nothing due to other factors, you just don't know with closed software what is happening.

Loosing 100 shares an hour is aprox 250USD a month with Ethereum 385UDS value. I rather use Ethminer over Claymore at the moment. The higher Ethereum gets the higher that difference will be.

Ethereum is money so it could be that he is trying to cash in as much as possible while it lasts OR i could be wrong about the whole thing BUT i started this test because i read about other people doing some testing and those people expressed concerns that something was not right with the devfee the same concerns i now have with the 100 share/hour diff.

Claymore has been around for a long time and is not going anywhere. It's in his best interest to not do anything shady. You're not going figure out if something weird is going on over a 24 hour period. 1 share at X difficulty is not the same as 1 share at Y difficulty. If one of your machines is mining at higher difficulty one day then it won't submit shares as fast as your other machines at a lower difficulty. Counting shares is not a good comparison at all because you're most likely using a vardiff pool.

If you want to do a comparison, split up your machines. Half using ethminer and the other half using claymore, same type of cards on each half. Mine at the same pool for a week and then compare your earnings in eth. Not USD not BTC not shares, just eth. You can't do 1 week with ethminer and the next week with claymore, it has to be at the same time. You'll probably need to set up a second account at the pool to accomplish this. I think you'll see the only difference will be the fee.

ethminer is awesome :) on ethos+ethminer each GTX1070 runs at 32.5mhs, ethos+claymore = 30mhs

Maybe enhancement.

Out of scope.
