Just a tip guys. Use sgminer 4.0.0 instead of cgminer. Then use optimized .bin files not the optimized .cl files. Optimized .bin + sgminer 4.0.0 will give you  20kh/s to 30kh/s more. For those miners who uses cgwatcher, you can download version 1.3.5.2, rename the .exe file sgminer to cgminer so that cgwatcher will recognize it. Remove argument "-scrypt" since sgminer was designed for scrypt mining.

no but you get screwed with overall lower earnings. same difference.

Or you could just use cgminer with the optimized bin files and get the same results WITHOUT the bugs that sgminer has.   

There are some .bin files created by pro miners that i saw on a post in reddit. Just pick the file that match the thread concurrency that you are using. Extract it on your sgminer folder. Make sure to put "-g 2 --lookup-gap 2 --thread-concurrency (value) -w 256" in your arguments so that sgminer will use the .bin files that you extracted. You can still add your own config like engine,memclock,vddc etc. Also dont forget to check if your miner's .bin files ends with "l4.bin" or "l8.bin" you need to rename the extracted .bin files according to what your miner uses.

There's tons of bugs with sgminer.  GUI input locks up if you try to switch pools, various settings don't work when trying to adjust them while the miner is running, etc.  The miner itself is okay though I guess, but I didn't find it any faster than cgminer 3.7.2 either.

The bins helped with my 7950, but did nothing for my 7970.

Looks like useast is down again. On middlecoin.com:3333 for now.

useast is back up  , my rig just went back to it

I am doing the same work as you so why should I get paid less. Actually No, but the fact that you are shows what kind of person you are.

H20 should have been more upfront on this issue.
