-ct 2 will be too small I guess, needs to be at least like 16 or more…

There is, Release7.5 of cuda\_tromp will generate for compute 2.1 and sm 2.1 and would create cuda\_tromp\_75.dll.

Using the Nicehash stratum pool. Three questions.

1. What does “ignoring non-clean job [#fff\*]” mean? I get it frequently. Is it an issue with MY miner, or…? Does it matter?

\*hex

1. Is the CPU thread count recommendation still 75% of your logical processors? If so, why? (If not, why did it used to be?)

2. What happens if I use the same username (read: zcash address, in this case) on two different machines?

1. It means that pool sent a job that is not mandatory to switch to (but only optional). Since miners never run out of nonce range, nheqminer simply ignores such jobs; this trick can give you a bit of extra performance, since your current work is not cancelled and restarted like with other miners.

2. With Xenoncat no, the best is to use all threads. But it again depends on CPU; CPUs with very high amount of cores still need this value a bit lower. Best is to experiment to find best hashrate.

3. It is allowed, everything will work fine.

Works GREAT but only on one GPU, using more then 1 quits the program

Can you try to delete OpenCL.dll that comes with the archive? It may be the issue…

Yes, DELETING OpenCL.DLL makes it use all GPUs.

Thanks
