The person who I know tried to get it running with rpcminer-cuda but is having trouble getting the executable to run correctly (problems with the CUDA modules).  I guess we'll have to wait. 

I have someone with a card who should be benching this with RPC-miner shortly

Update your drivers

Not sure, probably in anticipation of the difficulty rising to extreme levels from the prospect of GPU mining (which it's now starting to) and the reward being outpaced by the risk.  There were some botnets before in the 1-3MH/s region, but now pretty much anyone can mine in that capacity and the difficulty is much higher (soon to be almost 2).

There are no botnets anymore.  The network hash rate is only equivalent to 150 5850 GPUs.

Not surprising, they nerfed the FPUs in GK104 to about 1/8 of those of the GTX570, with the intent of making it a fast gaming card without much in the way of FP compute.  GK100 will be the one with very high FP/DPFP compute ability.

Unix build?

Ask Mtgox how much it costs to put LTC on their exchange, and then give them that quantity of money.

nda is up and reviews are out. The 680 is shredding the 7970 in most applications... Can't wait to see the mining performance.

edit: nm

I think the biggest advantage at the moment to litecoin is the faster block halving time, we only have a couple months to before before the reward decrease.  It's a big incentive to invest in the short term.

Cool, thanks

Latest version of litecoin?  Deleted addr.dat?

Yep. Coinhunter should let you control his account, you're much more level headed.

The only truly suspicious thing Artforz did was refuse to release the GPU miner he created.  I'm still wondering to this day why that was. That Artforz would run this whole again for the sake of a pyramid scheme to make himself incredibly wealthy seems suspect though, since everyone knows that his private GPU mining of bitcoin before anyone else did it has likely netted him millions. In BTC-E he even expressed admiration for SC2's private node system, but admonished the egotistical administration and poor economic foresight applied to it.

What would be most amusing is Artforz running both chains secretly to see which ends up dominant in the end, and creating the drama between them to promote them both -- if he premined LTC and owns the CPF, then he wins regardless of what the dominant chain is. I think that's a little too much conspiracy theory for anyone to take seriously, though.

Yay, CH is finally back! It had been getting quiet in here.

TBH I "premined" immediately after release on faster AMD clusters, before pooler released the Intel friendly miner.  So in that case I am guilty of mining with something that, at the time, was faster than it should have been.

The reason is because CH thought that by doing so that everyone would lose faith or something in LTC, probably similar to CH's logic that if you make the mining reward almost nothing that suddenly people would trade SC for $1 each while ignoring the fact that people don't really want SC all that much in the first place.

CH's SC2 algorithm is roughly the same as LTC's in that CH proclaimed first that it was a CPU-fast algorithm, then an algorithm where GPU meets CPU, and finally an algorithm most quickly able to be mine on AMD GPUs.  Coinhunter doesn't really need to be accused of premining SC2 though, since there is a 10% tax on the currency as it already is (5% block generation and 5% of block transactions).

He has been on BTC-e.  He probably had better things to do, like a real job.  Artforz admitted in the thread where he was accused of GPU mining LTC that when he tried to compile for the GPU, he got all stales when his rates were high.  It's obvious that if you look at the original scrypt mining code that it should have been extremely slow on GPUs; the only reason a GPU miner was able to be effectively developed was because of the excellent in-place algorithm designed jointly by pooler/ssvb (the current GPU miner, reaper, uses this algorithm, you can look at it for yourself).  All this alt-chain drama got old for Artforz a long time ago; he's just here to play with code and try new things like ssvb or pooler.

If you're looking for tyrannical alt-chain cult leaders, try solidcointalk.org.

Even if the SPs are running at 70% the frequency of the Fermi cards, that would still mean they would be capable of 460MH/s.

With a TDP of 200w, that's 2.3MH/w/s, which is better than a 6970.  The card also has a 1050MHz turbo hot clock.

There's also supposed to be an extra ALU per SP in Kepler as well, not sure if it's just another Vec4 ALU though

mtrlt released it and yeah, it compiles on AMD and nVidia GPUs with the latest drivers and version.  It's a little bit of a pain for 7xxx AMD GPUs and nVidia GPUs (aggression has to be set to 15 for it to work at all on nVidia GPUs), but it does work.

And also pretty much zero liquidity with litecoin as compared to BTC...
