[ANN] cudaMiner & ccMiner CUDA based mining applications [Windows/Linux/MacOSX]

[I_M]

@cbuchner1

I have noticed something very strange between x86 and x64 of the 2-28 release regarding:

-a scrypt:2048 -l T5x20 -C 2 -b 4096 -i 0

On a 750ti using x86 will result in pretty normal hashing.
On a 750ti using x64 results in probably 1/10th if not less the x86 performance.

As an add, I think cudaminer can make huge gains in performance if you can save all that bus bandwidth.  But that's just my armchair coders opinion.

When I initially got my 750tis, I forgot to select pci 2.0 and I was running pci 3.0.  While the machine could keep up, 5 of my 6 cards would do 375 to 400 khash on scrypt, the last card would do about 170.  Eventually the system would eventually choke up due to an interrupt storm, but if those numbers are at all accurate I think cudaminer could squeeze out 25% more performance than we have now.

Again, I deffer to your expertise -- but I am very optimistic about future performance increases.

Surprising that all the "cuda coins" we did in ccMiner look pretty profitable in your charts.
I had almost written off fugueCoin already...

but beware, the buyer market for Fugue is weak, and it may drop sharply in price whenever
there's currently no buyer.

Remember to VOTE HERE https://www.cryptoaltex.com/index.php?page=newcoin for FugueCoin to succeed. The more exchanges the better this coin will do.

Also Yacoin is doing pretty good, despite the fact that the coin is currently sold under value (IMHO).

Yacoin is where it's at 

I like that higher N factors tend to equalize hash rates between all miners, and make it solo mineable to a certain extent.

I totally forgot about yac haha. It doesnt look too bad to mine from the profit graph above

[cbuchner1]

hey, any plans on making cudaminer x11 algorithm compatible? I've started mining Clear Water Coin today and there are talks of switching to x11 from scrypt, and most my rigs are running on cudaminer atm.. I never even heard of x11 until today.

x11 is a bit further down the roadmap for us...

Such a tease. I want to know what the secret your working on is so badly. But im glad yiur keeping it hidden. If the amd guys figure out what your working on then they will try aswell

[ivanlabrie]

Ever heard the word secret?

He wasn't impressed with the primegpu miner I mentioned, so it must be something big :p

[bigjme]

Yep. We will get a random message saying some algo noone has ever heard of before(in the gpu mining realm) has been implemented and this thread will explode :p

sha256 at 1 THash with a gpu, that would be impressive

A C-Coin (Christian-Coin), only mineable @ccminer@compute capability 5.0 (750Ti)would be cool.

These chaps disgust me: https://litecointalk.org/index.php?topic=18166.0;topicseen

Clearly bribed by kncminer of whoever is supplying them with free shiny scrypt asics.

Damn you, warm spring weather! You might soon be the cause for me lowering the overclock on my GPU!

I've turned mine off to avert climate change. ;-)

Both the devs have a good point though. Hark forking can have serious consequences and X11's longer confirmation times can be a problem. The scrypt miners have been at it for a month already. Check the difficulty raise this month. It's gone from 3500-6500 at it's peak. Almost doubled. This is just the beginning. More are coming and the first units that have been hashing from the beginning of this month will only be shipped late June/July. I,for one,can't imagine what's going to happen to mining at home when the ASICs are in full swing,say,by this September or October.

Hey Christian,
Do you still have that FC wallet with the 6's or are they in an exchange already?

[bigjme]

Mining is just going to keep moving from one algo to the next. Aslong as we can move quicker then tue asics can be built, they wont effect much too much. But because coins have such a long mining time it is. The only coins that will ever be asic resistant are those on an algo that asics arent for that are totally mined in less then a year. So asic devs dont have time to develop them

I have the top 1 address and MOAR...

Christian in April new driver 337 for Nvidia , Ultra Boost with series 7 read :

You think more performance in mining ? .
