Sorry for the question:
Is there nvidia GPU miner for bitsend?
I don't like to quote myself, but... there you go:
Some initial info about mining with a low-end Nvidia GPU ( posted first on
http://bitsend.info/forums/index.php?topic=95.msg1877#msg1877 ):
--------
I hope that what I will say next will help some less programming-savvy users like me:
1. at this moment there is no point to use a CPU to mine Xevan/X17 based coin(s) - it isn't feasible (excepting the case you have access to indecent amounts of CPU power in some cloud AND you don't pay for electricity).
2. I managed to compile xevan-ccminer on ubuntu 16.04 for my sorry-ass Nvidia GeForce GT 730 card (the 2048 MB DDR3 64-bit model) after a lot of fragmented searches through forums, wiki pages and Nvidia-jargon-loaded pages... On suprnova.cc i get around 385-415 kH/s ... according to my miner's report anyway (in terminal, 'cause I didn't get lucky yet to find a block)...
3. key files for successful compilation (and running) were build.sh and Makefile.am (one really needs to edit only the last one if s/he has the correct driver AND Nvidia toolkit installed);
4. key info can be found on:
-
https://github.com/LIMXTEC/xevan_ccminer -- read and use your brain (it is not rocket science);
-
https://github.com/tpruvot/ccminer/wiki/Compatibility -- this is some awesome info!!!
Finally, my BSD address for all donations is... iNXcvSwdxcPzQb5RYKs9PTPPe2LY6HEazv
P.S. I will write a short tutorial about this subject if I see interest from community (please try to be patient and polite - nobody here likes a demanding "arschloch")
P.P.S. Donations to dev/airdrop funds are equally appreciated - the choice is yours.

thanx
Also, you might find interesting this quote:
Limx Dev , can you give a bit more detailed explanation of Xevan hashing functions? Tried implementing "double x17 with worknumber 128" in CUDA, GPU hashing result is far from expected one. Can try porting opencl kernel, but I think it's not necessary to invent a bicycle, something is hiding in details. Thank you in advance!
The ccminer source is online. Please use algo x17
https://github.com/LIMXTEC/xevan_ccminerDev Update..
We have passed the next milestone for core 0.14. My plan was Q1-2018 but I think we can make it faster.
For the time being, my first successful compiled xevan_ccminer for my Nvidia GT730 card (compute capability 3.5, Nvidia toolkit 6.5.19) doesn't show properly in suprnova.cc (no presence/hashrate reported), so I will investigate the issue and I hope to have a solution for Linux first then for windoze (hopefully).
Ok. Thx.
