Come on genoil is crap for cpu usage. Everyone knows it. Only way I could get genoil to load at decent speed was to to click away from the windows once opened and then click back on it pulling focus away from it would kick it along. At some point we will all have used someone previous work. who here thinks anything we do is original? It's always based off prior people's work. If you think the Wright brother invented flight your dead wrong. Many came before that lead up to the Wright brothers taking flight. All works are a progression from others past work. To be able to copywright something as your original idea is disengenous at best. Fraudulent if you ask me. At some point we just have to do for what's better for us all. Not bicker over the little shit. It's like people thinking satoshi created Bitcoin. Well no. He took many others ideas and mashed them Together. Had they not come before him this would have never happened. Do they get any credit? Never. Credit never goes to those that laid the road for you to get to where your going. at some point everything will be open sourced. But sadly until that happens and we have the monetary system looming over us we will have the threats of being sued and blah blah blah. We really have pinned ourselves into the corner on this one.
Anyway thanks for the great effort claymore. No one else was going to release a stable miner until the they mined out the coin. I'm glad you put pressure on the cloud ops and their returns. But I'm sure they are butthurt about it. Bragging about their super fast miners and now we are equal. They don't like not being over the public. It's that power ego thing they have to stroke!

this is so Fucking sot on.
I don't usually stand up for people, but in this case your statement is not correct at all.
Mrb's silentarmy version 3 is faster and it was the first stable gpu miner. A few hours after version 3 was released, Claymore decided to steal mrb's code, put it in his miner, then monetize the miner with a closed source code.
I find this unethical and likely illegal.
I second that. When you code there are things you do and things you do not. I've been writing code for a long time (since 1981 - yes, I'm THAT OLD), and what I never did (neither did anyone else I talk to) is take open source, put my name on it and sell it.
This is not commercial software, so I'm not really questioning if what he did is legal or not. It's unethical. It does not matter if he stole 100 or 4000 lines of code. If he had the balls to read the 4000 lines and rewrite the code to make it faster, I would be fine with it. But he just copied it, and handed it over to those that cheer "You Sir rock!", "Mr. Claymore you are the best", and the like. It doesn't matter if he mentions mrb in the readme file. It's still called stealing.
I downloaded the Linux version and tested it. On my hardware, the performance is the same as mrb's silentarmy, so in effect it's 2.5% slower than the original... I'm not really sure why anyone would use claymore's linux binary...
BTW, I think he does have the balls to make it faster; he just prefers to steal something that's working, as long as there are people willing to use their hardware and electricity to make him money.
Until he releases a fast version that by its performance will prove that it is new code, I think that the ethical and noble thing for claymore to do is to release a Linux version without a developer's fee. If mrb releases a Windows version, then claymore should also remove the developer's fee from his Windows version. Until he releases a fast, rewritten version. Not that he has to, but out of respect to all those who have been making him money with his other miners (myself included).
Just my 2 cents
