hey everyone im new to SIGT and SKUNKHASH all together.
im hoping someone can lend me their expertise on my set up, i have been mining for weeks not months but have only been using claymore.
i will list my steps and settings, thanks a ton again for reading!
steps:
1. downloaded client wallet for windows from
https://signatum.io2. downloaded AMD miner from
https://signatum.io3. created account on suprnova.cc for sigt mining.
4. set my bat file with these current lines:
setx GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 0
setx GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
sgminer -k skunkhash --gpu-platform 1 -o stratum+tcp://sigt.suprnova.cc:7106 -u hidden.hidden -p hidden -I 20
my current stats in the miner, i assume my hash rate it 19? FYI im running 3 brand new rx580s asus strix all samsung memory an flashed. these were pushing a nice 30+MH/s in claymore for ETH mining.

how can i push my machine to higher hashrates, i read its the -I command line that pushes the cards more?
Should i be using a different miner for AMD cards?
What type of hash should i expect from 580s?
The Skunkhash algorithm is different to the Ethash algorithm used for ETH so it is normal to get a different hash rate.
I get roughly the same with my RX 580/570 cards so the speeds you are getting are normal.
Skunkhash is a GPU intensive algorithm where Ethash is more memory intensive, so you can try dropping your memory clock and increasing your core clock to squeeze a little more performance.
You can also try increasing the -I command as well. Do it in increments of 1 till you find a sweet spot.
