Nice work, getting closer!

Nice work all, further than we were a few weeks ago.

Setting up a test machine tomorrow a d can start testing some releases with a few different cards.

The most recent I saw in Disc:

"The people (plural) who were offered a bounty to produce a phi2 sgminer failed to do so. As I said before, it's beyond the Lux team's purview. Not much we can do about it except hope another sgminer dev steps forward."

With that...back to hoping some enterprising mind steps up...

Correct afaik. Hope here was there's be some other enterprising Dev working on something. I.E. a Claymore or other.

Bumping and hoping for any news, any real input appreciated. Thx all.

The other half of this--Phi2 isn't Phi1612. If someone gets one working, tunes, analyzes, and has the data to say "ain't gonna happen"...that's different, that's acceptable. At that point there's no choice but to move on.

So far all I have to go on is whattomine estimates. Does two rigs of 1070s produce more than same number of 580s? According to 1612 #s yes, comes out to about 165 vs 200.

So if you're in it for efficiency then sure, AMD not a viable option. But realize some are playing the gamble in hopes it increases in the future. If someone can still cover costs, even make a miniscule profit, but achieve the goal of banking some coin cheaper than buying...then it's worth it to them based on their strategy. Looking at the future potential of what is mined, not the current going rate.

That said--i can't buy the "there's no need" line. There's hash to give and Dev fee to be had if someone produces something, that's the bottom line.

Also...this is mainly regarding  https://luxcore.io

Any input appreciated!

Anyone working on, or have plans to work on, a Phi2 miner for AMD gpus? There is a version of ccminer and cryptodredge for NVidia and there are supposedly attempts to get SGMiner working but no timeline. Anyone else aware of anything in the works?
