so I worked out a way to trap it stop it and calculate it and I'm a bit surprised.
I've tested both solo and pool
in a pool u get approx. 97.9% claymore gets 2.1% of shares. (avg between blocks)
solo got me silly though.
over the last 20 blocks, 2 went to claymore......SAY WHAT!!
not reveling how but a little gobsmacked at this.
also found claymore wallets not sure I should release though, he does amazing work and happy to pay some but not 10% but them wallets mean he can afford a lot of coders
food for thought.

Essentially this is why I think Dual mining has to be thought about very carefully.
The additional processing is not free, it costs in multiple different ways.. electric / heat / longevity of components / additional fees / maintaining an instance of the chain
Taking an extra 1% from your ETH mining as well whilst mining something worth a lot less also adds to the expense.
The difference being 1% in ETH on vs 2%+2% in Dual.
I've decided it's not worth it for me, but each to their own I guess.
Anyway more to the point, from what you're saying is there is a HUGE discrepancy in fees between the pool and solo mining modes on Claymores miner! Statisticly even the dev fee would have to be ULTRA lucky to get 2 / 20 solo blocks.
It suggests you're saying theres is something different in the solo dev fee than the pool dev fee, can you clarify ?
Btw also think claymore does a lot for us so this isn't a complaint!! Merely trying to understand as best I can what happens and why.
I've not seen any one else capture this so as I managed to do it I thought I would share, and I guess the point is it might be in time a small amt to mine but it doesn't mean it will be 2% esp when solo, luck like for all this stuff plays a massive part...it might be that over the next 1000 blocks he gets none and then maybe we at be looking more at the 2% just in my 20 block run 2 to claymore seems way over the top for what I was prepared to see.

EDIT: FYI, he doesn't care if you block/remove the code that sends him those shares. He's been open about that.
@Jotun70 I dunno about that... claymore goes to a lot of effort to protect his code. No need to block or remove it tho, you can just redirect it so it works for you instead of claymore.
Dev fee with ~5GH/s:
Similar to how if you run a large number of rigs your effective hash rate stays roughly the same but individual rigs can over or under-perform hourly.
by block 31 I had 27 he had 4. amazing luck there. seriously !

And for AMD you can use sgminer-gm

Not sure it makes sense for him to solo mine his def fee at all. There is no way due to luck that you can calculate the amount of blocks lost when the dev fee mining kicks in.
I don't like to use claymore miner
That for 1 minute your rig found too may shares?!
If Claymore is able to increase/decrease number of found shares per specific minute, he could also "spoof" sound shares, dont you think?
What os is that?
" 20 blocks, 2 went to claymore" this is 1% to you?
