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

[cbuchner1]

Is it possible to know the detail behind those calculation? I would like to build a small table like this one.

Thanks!

depending on the coin, the network hash rate of a coin is

Difficulty * (2 ^ 24) / Block time in seconds   (some coins may also use (2 ^ 16: scrypt?) or  (2 ^ 32: bitcoin?)

put your hash rate in relation to the system hash rate and multiply with the current block reward (sometimes a function of the current block number) to get the number of coins you will earn per block on average.

Multiply with number of blocks per day to get the coins you expect to earn per day.

Multiply with the current exchange rates vs BTC or USD to get your gross earnings per day...

Subtract electricity costs, mining pool fees, etc... as needed

Oh yeah, I just see someone with over 1Ghs scrypt at ipominer.com

1       csshih   1,052,377    49,676.904
2      Wuher   487,407    23,007.792

I smell some ASICs around here. Anyone still mining scrypt ??

from time to time, last time was on BC (was rather profitable... )
(23MHash, is not necessarily uncommon... but ok, we know there are out...)

soo mining groestl with 3 750Ti's with a total power load of 150W has now become a cost to me -£0.01 a day
any idea when the new groestl changes will be implemented christian, i know you said 2 or 3 weeks about a week ago but any updates?

right now mining AC on ipominer.com is more profitable for my 900KHs with an expected income of about 0.006BTC where as groestl right now for me is 0.0022BTC

at the moment we're converting the Groestl code to use the Warp shuffle feature, otherwise the Compute 3.0 devices can't get a good speed-up (we need 128 registers per thread, which Compute 3.0 does not provide). This is very similar to what Dave Andersen did to scrypt 4 months ago here http://da-data.blogspot.de/2013/12/inside-better-cuda-based-scrypt-miner.html

Then we've also started work on X11.

Give us till end of the month I'd say...

Aslong as i can keep my income higher then my costs i am fine with that

[cbuchner1]

I've done some work on the table based Groestl (the SPH library based version), which would benefit CCMiner 0.5 neatly.  Maybe I can commit that part separately.

Awesome! Thanks for all your hard work. I will update my profit calculations after I measure the new hashrates and power consumptions.

This most likely is the nicehash rental .  The admin of ipominer is even posting in that rental pools post.

Anyone knows how to fix the lastest CudaMiner to mine scrypt or scrypt-jane?
I compiled from github but my rigs crash when CudaMiner starts. CudaMiner version 28-02 works no problem.

It is known to have huge issues so i dont think anyone but christian can fix it

Ok thanks bigjme.
What are you mining right now? I always think scrypt coins are lame but when I look at some profits could be made right now with PoW/PoS coins, I think I need to change my rigs for a few days.

Whitecoin want to clone the success of Blackcoin but with 0.78% premined I think it is just a scam.
Asiacoin looks better for me now. What do you think ?

PS: I just finished my 3. rigs 6x750Tis with ASrock H81 BTC and Linux. It works beautiful. Anyone wants a guide?

[bigjme]

Right now im still doing groestl. Its nor profitable but im a little too lazy to switch xD

okay, the faster version of cuda_groestlcoin.cu is in the repo.

You should see some notable speed-up on Compute 3.0 devices. Not sure about 2.0 and 3.5 - test yourselves.

My rig with 3 ASUS MARS (6 x GTX 760 cores) is doing 24.5 MHash/s Groestlcoin with this code.

In comparison the 3x 780Ti rig is doing 38 MHash/s with some yet unpublished code (this unpublished "killer groestl" code currently only benefits Compute 3.5 and 5.0 devices...).

I will test it with my 750tis in a minute
Do i need to change anything to test it best with the 750tis?

When you guys say 'unprofitable' do you mean just not making a good amount of money? or do you mean you are actually breaking even or actually losing money on power costs?

With the 750 TI's I don't think it is quite in the losing money range yet, but it certainly doesn't appear to be making a whole lot right now.

I am still mining hoping that there is some future rise in the price that will pay off...

This whole stock market aspect of coins makes me want to just stick to a multi-pool that pays out BTC each day and keep things simple even if for a little less daily payout.

[bigjme]

By not profitable i mean not earning as much as the energy costs

Christian, can you upload a win binary too?

Thx

Under Windows, building it for the correct compute capability for your cards would be advised.

It can be changed when you change the project-wide CUDA options (right click in the project explorer on the ccminer project)

The Linux makefile builds for all supported platforms automatically.

too busy modifying the bitsliced Groestl to work fine under Compute 3.0...sorry
