It is time for the NVIDIA Miner Bounty but this time it is different. We wanted to create two different miner bounties so nobody will get bored :) But also AMD owners please wait before complaining, because we will update your bounty with the new reward system but different amount, when your current bounty finishes, so stay tuned.

Here is how the new system works: we are making it more competitive and rewarding for the CUDA Developers.
It is called the “CUDA SUQA X22i Best Developer Award”. For every 10% improvement of the CUDA SUQA miner, in the form of a commit (pull request to our opensource repository), we will reward 100K SUQA.
Developers with good CUDA skills will earn more SUQA, and the unique X22i algo will get a lot of opensource free boost, not only for the SUQA currency but for the new cryptocurrencies that are going to use the x22i algo, to stay decentralized from ASICS and FPGAS and eventually from Quantum Computer Attacks.

Technical Details:

• The tests will run on a 1080ti (most common mining gpu), the increases must reflect on the other gpus too (1060, 1070, etc., if there's a decrease on any of those, no reward will be awarded). Improvements of less than 3% will be discarded.
• Measures will be taken at the GPU’s default settings without overclock.
• Increases based on higher intensity only will be discarded.
• Each submission must name the cuda toolkit to use. The base speed of the current source will be measured on the cuda-toolkit it gives the best hashrate with.
• No .ptx commits… Only opensource code.
• Power usage for the proposed optimizations should not increase too much in comparison to the related hashrate increase. (example: if a 10% hashrate increase is achieved by a 15% increase in power usage, the submission will be discarded)

100K SUQA for every 10% hash rate increase of the X22i CUDA Miner over the Official Opensource SUQA Nvidia(CUDA) Miner.

why do you created 2nd thread ?

Even though 1st is fine!

about 50 gH/s in two weeks - an awesome result

Nice :) ...

This is the Bounty Thread. Feel free to follow both :)

Thanks :)

I see that the opensource miner is improving. Cut and paste kernels from my suprminer x17 fork. I should get the reward, since I did the work right. ;D To get the best speed you need to replace all of the 17 kernels, and not only a few. The ccminer you forked can only do 16MHASH of x17 on the 1080ti. My opensource suprminer fork can do 23MHASH on the same clocks. +44% faster. Why don't you create a pull request in my github and add x22i there. Then I will add it.

There is a special board fo bounty threads: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=238.0

To really improve the miner you need to work on swifftx, which is currently taking half the compute time if not more.
Every improvement is an improvement, but you can't compare x17 to X22i: much more than some percent to some algo is needed.

Why don't you make it all yourself also improve SWIFFTX  and put your name there as the first ever opensource contributor for SUQA X22i. You know it is going to be a great success so be around and help us grow.

Cuda error in func 'x13_hamsi512_cpu_init' at line 685 : invalid device symbol.

idk why it showing this..im using the latest version..on github it say support added to maxwell and pascal architecture ..but my 750 ti is showing this error..or maybe it require my cpu to have aes? (i have xeon e5450)

And people complain that the climate has changed. I suspect that cryptocurrency miners are very guilty of this. How much electricity is being spent.

Have you mining rig? :D
