I feel that this miner is exceptional currently for eth, etc, exp, and ubiq mining.
The Claymore Dual Eth Miner, I have been using this miner for almost 60 days so far and it provides me with the best options so far.
It is simple to download and get running with one exception, but this is an issue with downloading any miner software, is that chrome and other browsers want to automatically block the download of these files. Well blame Windows for that though.
This miner performs better than any eth miner in opinion. Claymore's software allows you to control the intensity of your mining with the -dcri parameter. Which is what is needed to allow you balance the mining intensity when dual mining.
The README says otherwise.
Another thing is that you can run it from a bat file which is nice for storing multiple pool configs.
In addition to the bat file, is the epools.txt and dpools.txt which allow you to configure multiple urls for the same pool.
A great easy example of this is at https://eth.nanopool.org/help, the site will auto generate these files for you into a downloadable zip.
The purpose of these files is to allow your miner to mine on the selected pools best server. These servers are located by reason usually, such as uswest, useast, eur, and chi.
When it comes to dual mining you have many options.
You can mine...
- eth/sia
- eth/lbry
- eth/dcr
- eth/pasc
- etc/sia
- etc/lbry
- etc/dcr
- etc/pasc
- exp/sia
- exp/lbry
- exp/dcr
- exp/pasc
These are just my reasons for being my favorite miner. Try it here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1433925.0
