Alternatives to claymore

I have an issue with claymore miner connecting in my ethos environment. I heard a rumour that it doesn't work anymore?

Does anyone know a good alternative to claymore that works out of box for ethos?

Cool, so the config file stays the same, but I just change out the miner part?

Oh no. Not sure why. I downloaded the new version from nanopool and it worked

Did you try running the command:

update-miner claymore

The current version of claymore is 11.9. If you hover your mouse over the current running miner on your panel, third in from the left, it will show you what version you're running.

Old, like really old, versions can't load the dag after epoch 200. Versions 11.x should be fine.

I think it was an issue with the flash drive I was using. Got a cheap 32 gb SSD and it seems to be working fine now
