Title: Mining CPU algos with GPU
Post by: foxer666 on September 17, 2017, 05:25:26 PM
Hi all.

Is it real to mining CPU algos like Hodl, Lyea2REV330, Cryptonight? ScryptN (with dynamic N change)? Problem in soft or it's imposible?
There is some coins mining with CPU via wallet. How to mine it with GPU? )

Thanks for answer.

Claymore's Cryptonote GPU miner... also has a link to the CPU miner

Nice, thanks.
And other algos?

By definition, a GPU resistant coin is going to mine poorly on a GPU.

A CPU coin is meant to be mined on a cpu, mining it on a gpu would be not possible/or very inefficient, i suggest to get a good xeon cpu if you want to mine these

Try Nicehash or Winminer

it's not impossible, for example cryptonight. it uses large amount of memory that will reduce advantage of GPU. reducing doesn't mean make it impossible.

there's ccminer forked that works for mining monero using CUDA. I don't know if there's available for AMD

Many thanks for all for answers.

Example:
Scrypt-N. But N factor is dynamic. Wallet mining with CPU and get N factor 10. I try mining with ccminer with algo scrypt:10 and gets errors but musch higher hashrate. It seems like I can mine it with GPU with high hashrate but dynamic N factor doesn't allow to make it.

Another example:
HOdl algo (1GB AES). Wallet mining with CPU, but MemoryCoin has GPU miner. All links on miner broken. Last was http://mmcdl.1gh.com/mc2-1gh-win.zip

Totaly, I think GPU speed from 1060 or 1080 be much better than Core i7 for equal hardware price. Only need to find working miner soft and get profit :)
