Title: miner for CryptoNight
Post by: dvmsea on March 23, 2015, 07:33:18 AM
Hello
Somebody heard about minirs for algorithm of CryptoNight(XMR, FCN, DSH, INF8) similar on ebay ?
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Gridseed-GC3355-ASIC-Scrypt-SHA-256-USB-Dual-BTC-LTC-Miner-Silver-GUARANTEED-/331330653898?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4d24d88eca

Or the mining only by use of GPU and CPU is now possible ?
Thanks !

There is no ASIC h/w for mining XMR/Cryptonote coins. The only way to do so is via CPU/GPU. From GPUs I got the best performance with Nvidia cards on minergate's native miner (windows 8.1, 64bit) while on CPUs the absolute best miner is Claymore's miner (again on win8.1, 64bit). I'm getting about 200H/s on an i5 and about 400H/s up for an i7.

You can find Claymore's CPU miner here:

You can find Claymore's GPU miner here:

and Minergate here:

Cheers.

I already use Claymore's GPU miner on minergate.com pool. But I looking for opportunity to raise hash rate. You use Claymore's GPU and Claymore's CPU miner at same time ?

I have 3 miners. 2 of them are on CPU (i5s) (no suitable video cards) and 1 is a GTS450. On the GTS450 I'm using both CPU and GPU miner (i7).
