Hi,

I'm looking for the most recent version of the last miner compatible with scypt algo (if possible CPU + nVidia GPU) ?
CGMiner is now only compatible with ASIC and USB Miner.
I know that it is not profitable with LTC, it for another coin (PCM, and I don't know if that is profitable, surely not) :-).

Thank you.

There are ZERO scrypt coins that are even vaguely close to profitable to mine with a GPU.
 Total waste of time looking for miner software for that setup.

 Gridseed ASIC (GC3355 based orbs/blades/etc) aren't profitable for Scrypt any more, unless you have very very cheap electric, and those units were easily MORE THAN 10x as efficient on hash/watt than any GPU ever managed (2.6+ Megahash per side for under 60 watts on the blades I had per side, under 50 for the non-fan sides).

 Scrypt was also pretty much ruled by AMD GPUs, as it was a fairly simple algorythm well-suited for Stream units (Nvidia does better when the algorythm is more complicated), though Maxwell Nvidia cards might have been almost competative if they had existed a year or two earlier.





I'm no longer legendary just in my own mind!
