Hello all,

I am finally back online for good after my move. It's good timing that this coincides with learning that I won the $10k Zcash miner challenge prize, as it can justify to the wife that the time I spent working on it so far was worth it

I am now working on optimizations that will bring SA to the performance level of Claymore & Optiminer. In fact I spent a few hours on this already over the past week or so, but more work is needed.

zawawa: good luck with your fork! I hope you too can achieve good performance. We need more open source alternatives. (But please don't call your fork "SILENTARMY v6" as I am going to release that... it would confuse people.)

The only thing that will change is continued difficulty increases and lower coin prices resulting in even lower profits. This is still the gravy times actually as far as mining, if you are not making profit now you will be a hurting unit in about a months time. Forget about those rosy 60-90 day ROI dreams, the reality is closer to 6-9 months, which still is not really all that bad. Welcome to the desert of the real.
