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

[Bombadil]

Quick question, but what is the newest version of ccminer and forks that can still be used by compute 3.0?

Thanks, Bombadil! That was quicker than I had expected

So, i tested the CUDA 7 RC on linux (GTX970) and X11 (and other X) are broken with it. No problems on windows.

Not related to the driver 346 (i reinstalled CUDA 6.5 and all is working fine with it)

Mining quark is 10 times more profitable than x11 on the NVIDIA maxwell cards now. Where is the quark wolf0 miner?

You don't want me to make one.

Is this hinting at blackmail?  Hummmm... paying you NOT to code?               --scryptr

CUDA TK 7 --

I have been meaning to ask the question of Cuda TK 7 compatibility.  I guess it isn't a "drop in" replacement.  I wonder how well it will perform as code is adapted?       --scryptr

I checked out Quark before I went to sleep yesterday, it's only 20% more profitable then Darkcoin  

However, the network can only support 559.61mhs (that is only 93 750ti's on the latest modded CCminer posted by sp_) Excellant work on the new CCminer.

Quark is not going to support all Nvidia owners

Cryptsy wallet is offline due to maintenance and price on the exchange is not avaliable. Bters managed to get the new Quark wallet working (a lot of mining pools and Cryptsy failed) and the sell price is 0.00001801BTC

In 5 hours of mining, I got 5 coins per 750ti

Darkcoin is 0.117 per gigahash (divide by 1000 and times you rig output)
Quark is 0.1394 per gigahash (divide by 1000 and times you rig output)

Since, this major fork on Quark, the difficulty figures are all wrong. Their own Block Explorer has not been updated, Not even a 3rd party Blockchain Explorer had incorrect difficulty figures. It looks like they are missing a 0  

Furthermore, the only big mining pool who managed to get the new wallet working (superna.cc gave up and closed their Quark mining pool down), has got the wrong difficulty figures for the Block Explorer, again it is missing a 0. Therefore, they show difficulty as 900, when it should be 9000  

Essentially, Wolf0 isn't bothering with Quark because it's not worth his time and effort

Anyone, interested in mining Quark, this is the best pool I found

It's "quark" the algorithm that's most profitable, not necessarily "quark" the coin. Your math also casually failed to note that the quark hashrate on Nvidia is about double that of x11. Enough tips already! 
Happy Mining!

Was the another coin you could mine with the Quark algorithm?  

If not, who cares about mhs output comparisons with AMD

Plenty of them. The relevant hint was leaked on the previous page

Not with AMD. try ccminer release 31. (750ti)

x11 3MHASH
quark 6MHASH.

There are a number of strong quarkbased coins you can mine. yaamp.com has gathered some of them in a multipool.They pay you in the currency you want. Set -p <Darkcoin adress> and you will recieve darkcoins everyday. The hashrate on yaamp.com is around 2GHASH and they mine 4-5 quark coins. The best coin to mine with the ti is now SPREADCOIN. I am working on a private miner. If you donate 0.1 btc to my btc account I will send it you you when I am done. Probobly before sunday.

That's happened to me before, but I meant if he wants to bump heads, he will lose.

I don't think you will beat a overclocked 980 card. 19MHASH / quark.

[sp_]

With a 290X and OpenCL 2? I think I could.

hehe, I won't challenge you. No money in quark, so why bother.

I've sent you private message, about that offer

hello sir
sorry for asking
is it new version of ccminer not support compute2.1 anymore

*pardon me if my question wrong, newbie question

You are correct.  The last version of CCminer to support v2.1 chips was was Bombadil's, around version 1.0.  It is listed in this thread, not too many pages back.  The older chips cannot handle the newer programming.       --scryptr

the 980 kingpin is coming  and it isn't for mining  8+8+6pins (kinda insane  )
(and it won't be cheap either)

I posted this on another thread, but I thought I'd re-post it

Everyone is so civilized and nice on this thread

It's math and macro economic strategy for most people to make a return on alts.

"Yeah, but remember, big funds outside of the Crypto Sector have, only, a 5% success in investments into new business ventures  

Why should new crypto coins have a bigger success ratio, maybe a lower success rate of 4%. Developers disappearing is not such a surprise, when you think about it? Some investors and miners have unrealistic outlooks on new alts, even old alts  

Buying or mining into coin before they have their 1st Block halving or late on in their pre-POS as the initial buzz of the launch has worn off, the the most efficient way to get a big position with such a low success rate.

Taking a position of 0.001% to 0.0001% is necesssary to ensure the few successes you achieve return a net profit compared to failed investments.

Here's a few examples:

Pheonixcoin, 98 million coins, equals 98,000 to 9,800 position; Block halving 2015.

Feathercoin 300,000,000 coins, equals 300,000 to 30,000 position; Block halving 2019.

Vertcoin 84,000,000 coins, equals 84,000 to 8,400,000 position; Block halving 2018.

Therefore, if one or two investments reach 10-50 cent a coin, you have made a net profit on the investments, even though your investment in the other 24 coins made a mad loss  "

Hope it helps newcommers

Therefore the easiest is to mine on a multipool, but the return could be lower.

for beginners I will recommend this gui miner. (windows)

http://cryptomining-blog.com/4054-miner-control-1-6-pack-for-nvidia-geforce-gtx-750-ti/

Just put your BTC adress in the config file, and start. The program will switch between the algos and the pool that pay the most BTC/DAY. You might want to swith the ccminer exe file to my latest (1.5.31(sp-mod)) for a boost in performance.

Amd users could use this version:

http://cryptomining-blog.com/3998-miner-control-1-5-5-pack-for-amd-radeon-r9-280x/

But they should replace the binfiles with wolf0 binaries for a 40% boost in hash.

As a further note

To my to early post about an investment strategy based on maths and macro economics useful for returning net profits from crypto-currencies

Everyone should have realised that crypto currencies are not Stock or Shares. Any attempt to import knowledge from that dodgy sector or similar dodgy sectors will result in substantial losses our new sector of economic activity  

Because crypto currencies is a new sector of economic activity, its governing maths and macro economics will need to written from scratch. For example: in stocks and shares, there are penny stocks, which people can invest in and in the West they have frequently been used as means to defraud the small investor out their Fiat Money

In crypto currencies there are no penny stocks: only a) Bust coins, b) Hobbyist coins, c) Economic coins, d) New coins. Bust coins is were the developer has disappeared, but the servers/nodes are paid up for a year and the coin just continues.

Hobbyists coins have a cult or loyal following and do not become bust coins because the owners of the coins do the software updates and pay for extensions on servers/nodes (their is substantial pleasure in becoming the bosses of a hobbyist coins). These Hobbyist coins retain significant economic values.

Economic coins, are coins that are available in high volumes and have achieved market valuations above 50 cent a coin e.g. original miners and organisation have significant profits from their early collection of coins to become skilful in duties and in future developments of that crypto currency   This adjusted for multi-billion coin crypto-currencies like Dogecoin or Ripple

New coins are a self-evidently a new possibility to make profits or losses

You forgot E. Scam Coins because there have been plenty of those lately.

In my opinion all of the alt coins and Asic coins are penny stocks. Whether you buy them or mine them you are hoping something worthless become worth something.
