Title: Thinking about developing a miner software Post by: KriptoGuruTR on August 07, 2018, 10:06:26 PM Hello all,
I think about developing an AMD GPU miner for Linux. It will be optimized for large scale farms and I have some great new ideas (no details yet) A very short question for everybody. Do you think there is a demand? Thanks Title: Re: Thinking about developing a miner software Post by: s0ftcorn on August 07, 2018, 10:44:31 PM Depends on the algo. And how good it can compete with other miners.
Title: Re: Thinking about developing a miner software Post by: KriptoGuruTR on August 07, 2018, 10:50:45 PM Ethash only.
I see there are almost no alternatives for Claymore on Linux.

Thanks not really unless its just spectacular. There are a few already out there and some you probably never heard of. Large farms = not many so you just narrowed your target to 1% of miners, probably less. And if you provide no speed benefit, stability or savings then no one will use you.

Thanks not really unless its just spectacular. There are a few already out there and some you probably never heard of. Large farms = not many so you just narrowed your target to 1% of miners, probably less. It will be something like a home scale miner software with large scale support. Stability will be #1 priority. For home users devfee will be based on miner's performance. I am almost sure it will not be the fastest miner but it will match the income with adjusted devfee. I have some ideas about devfee vs hashrate I just need to weight the cons/pros with your questions and ideas. Thanks Title: Re: Thinking about developing a miner software Post by: treanski on August 08, 2018, 07:30:03 AM it is very simple...there are alot good/stable mining software already out there...if you want to compete with them you need to make your miner faster or cheaper to use

Thanks I don't think so it will be beneficial to build a miner for AMD supporting only Ethash algorithm. Correct, there aren't any great alternatives for Claymore miner on Linux but most of the custom Linux OS oriented towards mining are already packaging Claymore for Ethash since the beginning. You will have to bring a lot more to the table, like improved hashrate by +5%, less power consumption than current gen miners, auto-tuning features and such, not to mention everything that other miners already offers. Moreover, people will need all of the above to even think about migrating towards a new miner and configuring it for their rigs. So if you think you can deliver something exceptional with your miner, then you can give it a go or else it won't be worth your time developing one.

I may add NVIDIA support later. Now lots of research time for me...

I'm an experienced developer and wouldn't underestimate the complexity of writing a miner.. |
