All Adrenalin drivers lock out control of almost all states, evident in Wattman and any other state edit program. This is especially so with the Frontier Edition thus QMS achieves 2200h on cnheavy with a click.
Wrong again. Might want to do some research on what can be done with the new drivers because you are falling behind and this project won't ever go anywhere at your snails pace of updating. Dude, I would say you need shut the f*** up.... and STOP TROLLING in this topic.

Anyone else has an ASUS 1080Ti Turbo which doesn't respond to the pill even when using --revA? I'm getting 37 MH/s on it with or without the pill. My other 1080Ti's (MSI and Gigabyte) respond well to the pill. # cat /proc/driver/nvidia/gpus/0000\:06\:00.0/information Model: GeForce GTX 1080 Ti IRQ: 135 GPU UUID: GPU-3058f196-7b94-8331-3e70-2f758dfefa18 Video BIOS: 86.02.39.00.22 Bus Type: PCIe DMA Size: 47 bits DMA Mask: 0x7fffffffffff Bus Location: 0000:06:00.0 Device Minor: 3
./OhGodAnETHlargementPill-r2 --revA 3 This card weird, try to use memclock -400 or -450, yes negative !!!

Yeah, lets get back to these not working on all pools. So this is what we have so far:
Not working nanopool for ZEC suprnova for ZEC, ZCL, and BTG slushpool for ZEC
Working antpool what coin?
What about MPH?
What about NiceHash?
Z9 working with nicehash. Had to set the difficulty manually. Still playing with that though. I LIKE THIS ANSWER !!!

Interesting but 350$ is really too much ... I'll pass. I would have prefered dev fee on your software...
Maybe you did not understand its a membership fee for all VGA Dev present and future for your entire life time Update to QMS is planned in 45 days to include 0FEE VGA MINER and 0FEE pools aside from +60Mh-35kh VGA compute drivers and other services You can also download QMS and use its FREE4ALL functions I understand your point of view,it was just my personnal opinion, I'm sure that my Vega RIGs won't stay with me until my old days ... Keep the good work I will try QMS FREE4ALL and I will follow to see your "+60Mh-35kh VGA compute drivers and other services" ok.. thank you for your interest VGA will be available in the open markets after ITO, and you will have to buy from a member who is willing to part enjoy Congrats with Production QMS and ITO:-)

Plenty of other coins, and coins to come this machine will be useful for. Gotta love the people trying to say its a brick when its not. Neither is the CN or ETH miners. ...
The 20kH/s Giant N CN ASIC now only brings in about $3US per day... Can't really say it is profitable until the capital cost is paid back, and at this rate that will be around 2 years from now if you got in on the first batch at $1900US each. Agreed 20Kh/s was not interested from the begging. They suppose to release N+ with 40 Kh/s but still not even close to 220 Kh/s from Bitmain. True, the Baikal miner proved to be a rather poor choice based on price vs. hashrate, but even the 220kH/s Bitmain CN ASIC only brings in about $30US per day as of right now, so it will take 400 days to pay off the capital cost if nothing else changes. And of course, the one thing you can count on in crypto is change. Regardless, what I am really driving at here is that if the biggest hashrate coin on an algo forks to block ASICs, such as Monero did with CryptoNight, then the difficulty rise on the remaining coins makes mining them much less attractive. Baikal sells 1 + 4 ASIC's for 3600$, so you get 5 Baikals N+ with 40 Kh/s on Cryptonight (old) for price 1 device. Still not interesting.. Another news I read today. Netherlands exchange discard Bitcoin Cash because of May 15th fork. Weird...

In this case this not an ASICs issues... this is a question to NVIDIA and AMD on why they GPUs are not powerful enough to bit small ASIC's manufactures (sounds like a joke, but have small piece of truth as well).
Because ASIC miners are specifically optimized to do one very specific thing very very well, while graphic cards are designed to handle a much wider workload of varying types and CAN'T be as well optimized with zero "wasted" circuitry for mining with them. It's like asking MACK to make their truck compete with Formula One race cars while still being able to handle large loads and last for millions of miles across many years to decades. Exactly! All NVIDIA and AMD cards built for rendering video/3d/etc procedures... yes they can run math/algo stuff but not build for that. ASIC is a calculator built with specific requirements and way more energy efficient... I'm not trued to defense ASIC, as I'm currently using GPU's in all my rig's, but as far as I see from electricity usage - ASIC is way more efficient. About centralization issue: ZEC - more than anything at this moment centralized on Flypool.org, around 40-45% miners are mining there... Miners are go where they have more profit/luck/etc... Not speaking about other cryptos, only about ZEC.

I don't know why everyone gets their knickers in a knot over ASICs. BTC wouldn't be as big as it is if it wasn't for ASICs. I've been mining for 4-5 years and this sky is falling shriek seems to come around every year or so. There have always been new projects and coins to mine with CPU, GPU and ASIC miners.
Personally I have GPU and ASIC miners and have no issue with either. For me a see the ASIC as an inevitable progression. My only issue with a lot of the ASIC miners is the inability to undervolt and or underclock them. (remember to support sidehack)
I did buy a Z9 and was happy to do so because my other 6000Sol/s of GPU miners can be used to mine other coins without blowing my breaker box out the wall, meaning I can support more projects I believe in.
Totally agree here. ASIC is a just another generation (or evolution) of mining after GPU did a foundation for networks. And yes, I'm GPU miner but network can't grow fast enough with just GPUs power. I will move my ~30 GPU's to another coins once ASIC will be delivered. Bitcoin is a best example how everyone was expose to move to new directions with new algo's to go to evolution over and over again, with new ideas and big knowledge base from previous experienced. we've not moved away from Bitcoin mining by choice. If we could, we would still mine bitcoin and that's the bottomline. In this case this not an ASICs issues... this is a question to NVIDIA and AMD on why they GPUs are not powerful enough to bit small ASIC's manufactures (sounds like a joke, but have small piece of truth as well).

Testing QMS on my 5 x Vega 64 rig, would say very comfortable utility. PowerPlay table, OC, monitoring cards, running and configuring miner and rest features from 1 place.
At this moment I'm using blockchain drivers, and it is a requirements for this utility. My personal issue with blockchain is a artifacts with xmr-stack miner so I mover to cast-xmr in order to testing this powerful util.
Nice support via chat. Ed (developer) and Moderator or chat, helps with different issues almost immediately.
Interesting to read other review from other tester.

I've read through the thread (though I admit not every bit of it) and I'm very surprised to see nobody has been concerned about whether this executable does any funky things like ever connect to the Internet at any point, read any files off disk, etc? Has anyone monitored it (long enough) for any of those things?
Looks nice, but all of a sudden someone anonymous just deciding to help everyone by providing a closed source executable should normally raise just a healthy dose of suspicion.
Multiple users have confirmed the process is accessing two IPs (2.21.242.213/2.21.242.237) over encrypted connection. Not sure why this is necessary. Neither do I. The security concerns raised in this thread of using a seemingly random, closed-source binary which calls back to Akamai servers over an encrypted channel are legitimate. Until an explanation is provided by the developers for the usage of these two IPs, you can temporarily block your system(s) from reaching them by using the following: Windows (as Administrator): netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="ETHlargement Callback" interface=any dir=out action=block remoteip=2.21.242.213 netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="ETHlargement Callback" interface=any dir=out action=block remoteip=2.21.242.237
Linux (as root): iptables -A OUTPUT -d 2.21.242.213 -j DROP iptables -A OUTPUT -d 2.21.242.237 -j DROP
As far as I can tell, it has zero impact on the efficacy of the application nor the final hash rate.

As far as I can tell, it has zero impact on the efficacy of the application nor the final hash rate. This will be useless if in code dev is using fdqn as target address, but anyway what kind of concerns might be with traffic? Yes, probably it is good to know what dev sending back to their servers, but I personally don’t care, as I have nothing saved on rigs, execpt OS and miners.
