1) read-only mode is good enough for monitoring

sometimes the miner hangs but not totally
if you press S key it shows stat and then says that it is really hanging and then restarts itself

why this happens and why the miner does not detect such kind of hanging(tough it's still running because it can process user input) and does not restart without user actions

the v9.* performance looks a bit weird... I'm still trying to figure out what's going on.
on my modded 470s with dcri 24 I'm getting a nice boost of ~50%(vs dcri=32 on 8.*) for DCR and a minimal fluctuations of the reported rate on ETH (occasional 1-2% drops)
however at the pool it's more like 7-15% down the usual (and this is on top of the "regular" loss of 3-5%)
my regular pool is ethermine and it looks like v9.* somehow constantly underperforms - for the past few days my effective hash never went above the reported rate.
The new normal for the effective hash now is at around 15% below the reported ... and I don't like this a bit.

Will leave it to run for a while more and will see how it goes...

....and the conclusion: v9.1 is doing just fine (if you move workers around/rename ethermine stats go crazy for a long while)

From Readme, "FAILOVER" section:
....
You can reload "epools.txt" and "dpools.txt" files in runtime by pressing "r" key.
....

Thank you for the prompt replay. I'm familiar with that feature and I've been using it. I was asking for a way to cycle through the available pools without the need to change the contents of the .txt files.

I guess I am still not understanding. I can reload the failover pools, but how do I manually switch to another pool without the first pool failing? For example in sgminer I can hit "p" to list the pools loaded by the .conf, then hit "s" to switch pools, it will ask me for the pool number from the list of loaded pools........let's say I'm on pool 1 and want to start mining on pool 7 ......in sgminer I would type p s 7 enter, and then spacebar or any other key to get out of the "p" menu.

How can I accomplish the same thing in your miner?

Ok, I'll implement it in next update.

I have my claymore configured to dual mine both decred (on suprnova pool) and Ethereum.   For a couple of months it has been fine but now decred shares are all being rejected but all ethereum shares are OK.  Is it a problem with the pool or my rig?

My batch file hasn't changed in any way.

You would want to drop the Core to ~1150 and raise the Memory to a minimum of 1750 (even 1950-200 if it's stable) and then you should get at least 22 Mh/s, perhaps even 24 depending on the card. All GPUs may be a little different, so those are just approximate figures. --- If you modify the bios you can potentially hit up to 30 Mh/s, but start out with the simpler settings at first.
