edit: I am sad to announce that my nespresso machine passed away...so young...  
this may affect profitability (as well as bad temper trolling)

Yell loudly @ Nespresso customer service and George Clooney will bring you a new one.

everything works fine ^^





the fact is ...   i use the whole time the wrong Version ^^
and much better is .. that i try 13 Version`s  without success....

Looks like gapcoin has an experimental gpu miner....

Now I am glad I haven't invested any time in my own version of this yet.

Interesting that they chose to put the Fermat test on the GPU instead of the sieving.
Maybe I can learn something from their approach.

In our CoinShield miner it's actually the Fermat test that's more efficient on the CPU,
whereas the sieving was accelerated nicely by the GPU (higher memory bandwidth!)

Has anyone got the miner for Gap Coin running on Nvidia?

Hi Christian,
On Cudaminer.... the hash rates on scrypt jane nf are lower on windows 8 by 33%. My vista computer gets about 3.6 mh/s and my 2 windows 8 computers get 2.3 mh/s. I tried everything I could even compiling Cudaminer on windows 8. All the combinations of the arguments ect. Do you are anybody here know why please. thanks

[sp_]

I checked in some more improvements in my fork. (x11 +300KHASH on 980) faster nist5, x13 and x15

people still mine that? I took a look at the AMD kernel - looks like it could use some work.

My vista computer gets about 3.6 mh/s and my 2 windows 8 computers get 2.3 mh/s. I worked on it on and off for months. Still only 2.3

Got any AMD cards?

No  just 750ti's

How to set backup pool for cudaminer?With sgminer,it can change to backup pool when main pool is dead.

I think I found the problem. The source code is 32 bit and I can't compile it to x86.

lulwat ? the source code isn't anything ....
ok just replace every uint32_t by uint64_t  

try to retune cudaminer (however it is a known problem)

is it that profitable ?
now if you want the ultimate scrypt-jane high factor experience... install linux, it is well known the hashrate is much higher on linuex

yes it is if 3.6 hash. linuex.. I have enough problems with windows

That's mostly because the video memory usage is limited to 88% on windows by default:

Code: (cpu-miner.c)

 #if WIN32
        device_backoff[thr_id] = 12;
        #else
        device_backoff[thr_id] = 2;
        #endif

Which is only necessary if you're mining on your primary card.
