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

Making asics for SHA2 and 3 algos is easy, doesn't make sense. The ONLY way to go is variable N factor scrypt/scrypt-chacha. PERIOD
That's if you want asic proof, and lazy-ass miner proof coins.

for the eleven algos of X11 you will need a lot of chip area, reducing the amount of hashing power you can get out of one chip. But still, such ASICs are very much possible.

The algo just needs to have a market share that is significant enough (i.e. 10% or more of the volume/market cap of the BTC market) before companies will start looking into this.

My thoughts exactly.

[ivanlabrie]

Yup, no algo is asic proof but economics get in the way of said developments.

Christian, for the nth time, you rock man.

HVC Difficulty growing. Youre still mining it too?
Whats the next Project?

I turned off my rigs a day ago.  Next project is top secret

Found out all my 10 risers are missing a part, so I cannot yet start putting the rigs into their wooden cases.
Meh. But the ebay seller will send me the missing x1 pieces (those that plug into the PC mainboard).

I dont like to turn it off now.
Do you think jumping back to groestl is better?

[ivanlabrie]

Always keeping us on our toes...hey Christian, I gots a primecoin gpu miner dawg :p

Thanks for both your work. You should stay on Heavy instead of Groestl. Nothing looking attractive at the moment. Nothing breaking the 0.02BTC daily intake benchmark.

I ran my calculations report on the coins and here are the results.

[bigjme]

In your calculations your solo mining. Are you actually solo mining or pool mining?

How are you pulling those numbers? With 8 750Ti's?

That is just a theoretical amount of time it would take per block if I were to solo mine. I usually pool mine, but sometimes I solo mine if the solo time is exceptionally low. For example fugue had a 15min solo mine time yesterday.

Forgot to mention. Yes, 8x 750Ti's.

with your hashing power, they are other coins which are more profitable... (exe for example... which beat all the coins you have on that list)

I've gone back to exe.  Hoping it decides to do a VTC impersonation

[Napping]

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.

[cvax]

I'll add exe to my calculations and see how it stacks based on what I can actually squeeze out of it. Do you have any other suggestions? Thanks.

Edit: Hmm. EXE doesn't look profitable to me at this point in time.

This probably shouldn't show XSV at the top. It shows last trade which isn't useful when someone gets filled way out of the normal range. I base my calculations off the best buy order sitting at the exchange and not the last trade. For XSV the discrepancy is an exchange rate of 0.00078481 vs 0.00034.

The only drawback to it right now is that it runs 10x better on ati hardware.

And 10x more OpenCL developers , some of which seem to have a full-time to make miners

[christian1980]

I think we have to return to the good old Cudaminer...

@Christian

Here's my tentative roadmap for continued development. Note the lack of a time table

1) fix the issue with PCIe bandwidth, so people with 1x risers are more happy. CUDA can do all the
    hash evaluation so we save a LOT of bus bandwidth.

2) Add blake256 for blakecoin and related coins.

3) look at implementing some failover options

4) see if I can get a monitoring API included

Any news, especially @1) ?
