[ANN]pledge for the release of 100% faster cuda 7.5 nvidia miner for neoscrypt

[djm34]

update: the miner is now released and can be found here:  https://github.com/djm34/ccminer-sp-neoscrypt/releases

Hello,

I am about to release a new version of ccminer supporting neoscrypt, it is around 25% faster than the sp/pallas version compiled with cuda 6.5
and around 100% faster when compiled with cuda 7.5

This is a co-joint effort between myself and Nicehash which will contribute to the pledge as well

This means that it will be publicly available once the donation reach an amount of 2.5btc.

Donation will have to be made exclusively to that btc address: 16UoC4DmTz2pvhFvcfTQrzkPTrXkWijzXw
(careful it is a new address, not the old one, one should already consider that 0.1btc has been donated)

The goad for this pledge is of 2.5btc (included NiceHash contribution).
The pledge start now (obviously) and should end the January the 24th (ie 2weeks and half).

If the pledge is successful both windows and linux version (the source) of ccminer will become available.

If those 2.5btc target is met, then the miners will be released through NiceHash

Current speed of the miner:

The hashrate given in the image is for ccminer compiled with cuda 6.5, I am also planning to retune the miner with cuda 7.5
At the moment the hashrate for the 750ti is mostly unchanged while the 980's lose around 40kh/s.



Thanks in advance for your participation.

Hello,

I am about to release a new version of ccminer supporting neoscrypt, it is around 50% faster than the previous version.

nice djm34 ...

will this mean that it will be windows based only though? ... if so - good luck - i will not participate ...

if its linux based ( private or public - fully open source ( so we can compile our own ) ) - then i will be interested AND participate in the dontion / pledge ...

if it is released, it will be open sourced, hence there will be a Linux version.

yay ...

thats exactly what i wanted to hear ...

ill be hashing for the donation next week ... when i get all my personal stuff stabalized this week ...

ill even start a hashing link for the pledge ( using your btc address you quoted in the op - and on nicehash ) if miners prefer to donate hash ... but mining at the moment is quite slow ...

I hope the source is worth 2.5BTC.

Because at this moment, X11 is worth a lot more for every miner out there.

But i know, no linux version.

yup - hence the questions ...

as I said, there will be a linux version however the speed enhancement is for neoscrypt not x11

Mmm, i never said that it was for X11, i just said that X11 is worth mining. Neoscrypt isn't. Even with a 50% speed improvement.

And i seriously doubt that you will make it to 2.5 with donations. "Miners and donating, haha"
I do hope so for you though.

A 50% faster Neoscrypt kernal is more profitable than the opensource x11 kernal.

A single 980ti card will make around 1.5-2$  / day  with this code (with the current prices)

I will support this and donate..

How much more energy does not new miner use? If it is 50% more energy, then there is no use.

[mickiya]

Has the miner been released to paying third party? Or is a farm already mining with the miner?

50% more power is not possible, the opensource neoscrypt kernel is already using more than x11 or quark ;-)

the power consumption will be slightly higher,usually the main problem with memory hard algo is that they get stuck
at low tdp value. Here the new code allows to reach higher TDP values. (however it is something you adjust)

No this miner has never been released. It is well known that I don't release easily my new code

Good work, djm!

[jakals]

i hope it'll be cuda 2.1 compatible

[djm34]

i hope it'll be cuda 2.1 compatible

I might look into it, however I don't know if it is possible (it uses many instructions which are available to sm 3.5 and higher).

Good work, djm!

thanks a lot, however please send transaction Id in private message, rather than posting them here.

I'm also interested though I'm curious about the speed of other cards (750 Ti, 970) and what happens if the goal is not met.

While the speed increase is massive, and even if it's 50% more across the board I'm only in with 0.05 (if I get numbers on other cards) because unfortunately the profitability of this miner is entirely dependent on the profitability of one coin, Feathercoin which is only going down since July.
Sure, there's Phoenixcoin, Orbitcoin, Ufocoin and Halcyon but they are completely negligible in every respect.

[pallas]

As far as I understand (please correct me, djm34, if I'm wrong), the 50% gain is based on the latest opensource kernel by djm34, NOT the one on the sp_ fork, which includes about 10% improvement by sp_ and another 10% by myself.
So the gain at the end should be about 30%.
