Why people using Claymore even 1% fee ?

Dear,

I am using Sgminer-GM for a long time with higher hashrate 0.5% higher than Claymore and no fee.

Why people keep using Claymore even it is a bad miner for ETH.

It's been around since 2014, and it's a pretty big name in ETH mining now, especially with a 300+ page Bitcointalk thread (making newbies use it despite the devfee). SGminer's much less popular but I do also agree that it is a good ETH miner, especially with the fact that the miner doesn't have a fee like Claymore. I don't mine ETH anymore, but the no devfee alone might make me use it if I ever do go back to ETH.

Probably because Claymore updates his miners regularly and is one of the few who has Dual Miner/ Dual Cards capability. It lets you mine Ethereum for example with both Nvidia and AMD cards in the same rig, offering perfect ROI for mining motherboards like Asus B250 mining expert.

I have some mining computers I manage for my colleagues and they are running stable for months with Claymore miners without a restart.
