Ok, thanks guys for the fast reply.

B.T. Coin: I am using those in my batch files and found a really good program (manager) called Awesome Miner that uses them too.
Wolf0: Wow you are one of the developers I see who makes modded kernels. I am honored by your reply. Please elaborate on how the stats work and count.

AwesomeMiner downloads a fresh miner (today it's saying it is version 4.2.2) None of the v5 devel miners worked until I upgraded the buffer to 1G for the GPU portion of my AMD A8 APU. I am giving about 225Khash to waffle pool right now, but they don't accept very many of my shares. Other pools are much more accepting of my work. NiceHash is in close to the same range as Waffle when it comes to work accepted. XPool and Ghash.io accept way more of my shares then these new-to-me pools do, but these new pools are multi-algorithm. Does that make a difference? Should I try NiceHash's non-switching ports? will that make a difference in the acceptance rate?

What factors affect the stale and rejected rates and how do I increase WU, which I suspect is Work Utilization. Is there a glossary for all these terms, a WikiPedia article or something?

Hello everyone, I am new to mining and have gotten this devel version of sgminer to start hashing on the x11 algo. I noticed that the A: does not seem to be working or any of the top stats for that matter. I am using Win7 Ultimate and have the 13.2 catalyst drivers. The program crashed and gave me an error saying my buffer was too small in the beginning. Took me 3 days to fix that.  I increased the buffer in my BIOS for the APU-GPU buffer.  Please point me to documentation on this program I have read the Git page.. Looking for info on the second status line (beginning with ST: and ending with RF:) and also the plethora of options that are available for the config file. I have read the command line help page. I am very excited to be part of this vibrant and active community and will look forward to getting some hash power up to Niceash via the WestHash portal. Thanks for the help guys/gals.

Can anyone answer the simple question as to whether they have used a prepaid Green Dot Visa/Mastercard card and which type it was. Please specity if it was freshly purchased (temporary, no name embossed on card) or Verified with address and ID info (permanent, name embossed on the card).  Also please let us know if there were any negative reactions from Green Dot. Thanks very much for your help to this community of bitcoiners if you do this.
