We are excited to release fastminer 1.0, which is a new ETH/ETC mining software providing
1. support both AMD and Nvidia cards
2. support of different pool types
3. free of any dev fee
4. of course, no switch between normal and dev fee mining
5. faster than any other free miners
6. clean, we have used the online virus scan tool with the report at
https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/94138335e68c7bccb486257905fe3f51cfaa7dc50719cbeac2c800af53b58a64/analysis/1520753889/ -- there is 1 red item showing it is a CUDA miner which is exactly true.
The performance is promising. With my rig (3 x 570 and 2 x 580), it consistently produces 133M hashes with 845 watts of power; while Claymore 10.0 produces 136M hashes with 870 watts of power. But claymore is not free and it has switch cost. We've checked the mining pool result, both fastminer and claymore produce 130M - 132M hash with little fluctuation.
As there isn't any dev fee, you pay the power bills for your own return.
Of course, we will to add more features soon, including but not limited to:
1. fallback addresses
2. linux support
3. remote monitoring
4. support more crypto currencies
5. better performance
People might ask why we haven't open-sourced the software as long as it is free. Free software does not have to be open-sourced.
