Title: Ethminer is good or bad miner?
Post by: yatmadan_kazan on March 08, 2021, 04:27:31 AM
I have been using ethminer for AMD 6800-6900 cards about 3 weeks.
I use it because it is free and as far as I understand it performs well.
However, I am still not sure, I might be missing something.
I could not find as many resources as other miners.

what is your opinion?
Can you tell if you have experience?

I guess nfsminer replaces ethminer.
But the question linked here remained unanswered, it got me thinking.....?

Closed source miners generally perform better then Ethminer. You'd be surprised how much a 2% fee incentivizes these miner devs to make their miners as competitive as possible

You are right, 1-2 percent is big money. The commission deduction for my system is equal to a gain of ( %1) 1.8 mh / s for pool average. When I try Teamredminer, if the difference is greater than 3-4 mh / s, then it is profitable.

I will try this  for 48h.

ethminer is the first miner for ethereum and basicaly is good enough for standar hashrate and mostly used by proxy

mostly used before closed source come up, heavly used around 2015-2016 early days
