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

Used the logo made by Braxton to make an icon for the shortcut .bat file of Cudaminer program.



Thanks Braxton for the cool logo

Do all those GPUS pay for themselves without having a hyped coin like MaxCoin to mine?

not as fast as AMD cards but yes, they pay 2x-3x the electricity costs in Germany.

Which ones? I wanna try a GT 640 4GB out...high N factor might be big soon-ish (it already kinda is, with the upcoming scrypt asics).

I'm mining ultracoin at 415kh/s, you think MRC is a better choice?

a GT 640 4GB (Compute 3.0) should do 1.6 kHash/s for Yacoin and N-factor 14 coins.

I was recently able to get four cheap GT635 OEM cards with 1GB DDR5 memory (Compute 3.5) from ebay and with -L 2 they also manage respectable 1.3 kHash/s with very low power draw.

I currently have no idea about the exact profitability of various coins. I am a programmer, not a daytrader

No prob...was asking mainly from the performance standpoint :p

So, pretty low, seems like R7 240 4GB would be a better choice, unless you can get higher hash with higher L values.
Gonna have to test it myself

Edit: we need a compute 3.5 card with 4gb and gddr5 ram...maybe the new Maxwell cards, GT 750 and 750ti. hmmm

[bigjme]

We need someone good with numbers to keep track of profit! Anyone? Lmao

Right now all my miners I pay electric for are turned off. The rest still sit at multipool getting doge. Its price is steadily going up with the difficulty; and with the scrypt asics coming out its difficulty will sky rocket. So it will either be worth a fortune or worth nothing.

Lets hope doge goes the same way bitcoin did and shoots up in price

[kuquint]

which pool to mine MRC on? currently on http://mcr.blocksolved.com/ 1Mhash +- 1,000,000 mrc a day.. anyone better options?

[linuxbman]

So what is everyone mining right now?

I am mining some MicroCoin at the moment because I find the coin has potential.

A newly setup rig for a friend is test-mining Yacoin on some low end cards until the six GTX 660Ti cards arrive.

Christian

I'm mining microcoin as well.  I think it has some real potential how it's setup as well.  Got my two 4GB 770s on it.

I just took my generic scrypt .bat file and changed the algo to mrc, as per the readme.  Is there any other setting I should be changing to make them mine better?  I'm getting about 360 KH/s on each card, I'm getting just under 1 million MRC a day.

Also, thanks for all your work on cudaminer!!

Motorboating Tittiecoin. Appeals to the lowest common denominator :-) Going to give it a week of mining and then sit on the coins to see if they ever do anything.

[bigjme]

Dont sit on the titties lmao

[deepv0id]

microcoin allow mining on low-end 1Gb card (69 khash @ -a scrypt --benchmark)? or even not worth to start? ))

[ThomasMuller]

Ain't nobody got time for that!  

Let's put some pressure on this then, shall we? I promise the following:
In exchange for a working, malware-free GPU riecoin miner which is significantly faster than CPU mining and works with Nvidia (integrated to the cudaminer would be optimal) I promise to donate to the creator:
-10% of what I mine in the first 24 hours
- 5% what I mine in the second day
- 2% what I mine on 3rd day
- 1% for days 4-31
Scrypt hashrate comparison 350 kh/s

Anyone else in? quote this with +1/ I'm in and I'll add you to the list. Post your scrypt hashrate for reference and I'll keep updating the total donation promise to this post. lets see how much we can get!

+1

Got a GTX 780 at home...716kg/s mining scrypt, 325 mining vertcoin, 203mh/s max, 5.33kh/s yac and 420kh/s UTC.
If anyone can do this, I'm sure it's cbuchner1.

Great! We need more people in, you guys realise how damn valuable this would be? It's definetly not gonna happen free anytime soon, releasing it to the public would mean that you give up of a huge benefit you have - It shouldn't be free.
 I'm upping my own offer to 20% on the first day.

Great... what??

Did you bother to ask this fantastic software engineer, if he was available to become your low cost employee BEFORE you tried to aggregate people around your idea?

Furthermore, someone else already attempted to make a GPU miner for prime-number PoW and it wasn't faster than a good CPU.

A good software engineer like Chris costs at least $85/hour in the US. I don't think that the bounty being offered here is fair! You guys made tons of money and based on the donations seen here the developer did not make more than $500 dollars. If writing software was easy then the cost of Bitcoin solutions would be lower including the cost of asics.

To be fair the bounty for this type of work should be 10 BTC or equivalent in LTC.

[shadypepe]

in terms of mining yacoin.. do you mine yacoin or a clone? and which pool do you guys use?

[skyvahaerie]

I mine Yacoin at http://yac.coinmine.pl/

is it worth it atm with nvidia? what kind of configuration are you running? thanks in advance!

edit: k32x2 with a 760 4gb oc gives me 2.4 khash/s. can i optimise that? should i overclock the memory clock more? (currently at 6300) thanks again!

[barabashko]

how to understand keccak column in google spreadsheet? that says hashrate in khs (it should be thousands then) ?
why not mhs?
why number so low?

Im running a GTX 760 2GB oced (+190 CPU clock, +442 mem clock) with -l K47x2 -L 4 getting 2.7 khash/s. It's only stable for scrypt-jane, if i do anything other e.g. opening a website the display driver crashes. But i use an older release of cudaminer, as i don't get the same or better results with the latest release. IIRC it is the release with the first lookup gap function, but i can't check atm, im at work.

You should definitely oc your card imho, without it's wasted potential.

The pool is ok, they are bit slow to confirm shares, but i can live with that, as they have no fees.

try -H 2 -C 0 -i 0 -l K6x32

[barabashko]

so what is 2.4 khash?
is it 240 000 khash?
or is it 2.4Mhash?

or is it just  2 khash 4 bhash? (if it is WHYYY SO LOWWW???)

2.4 Khash/s = 2400 hash/s simple math. It's jsut the way the coin/algo is designed. The whole yacoin network is  somewhere in the low 1 digit Mhash/s section afaik.
