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

[yellowduck2]

I'd welcome the idea of someone creating a profit switching nVidia-centric multipool.

Patches to support such feature within ccMiner would be welcome.

yeah. It's really a win-win-win situation. Once the pool is stable , it's pretty much a continuous passive income for the developers and pool owner. That is if the pool is willing to give part of the fee as donation to you. Improving ccminer will improve miner profit and therefore increase income from pool and thus increase your passive income.

For those who were wondering when I would release my profit calculator , it's here Loads of people were asking for it, but it isn't the profit switcher yet. But it's a big part of it, so tell me your findings.
https://github.com/KBomba/cuda-profit-calc/releases

Requires NET4.5!

It has all the hashrates set for a gtx750ti by default. Measured by taking the average of 10 accepts in which both my cards, EVGA SC & Gigabyte, contributed. Stock OC. 

Fantastic work Bombadil!

I've got one or two ideas for future releases...

1) A field to enter the number of graphics card, that way it's a bit easier to see btc/per day and coins per day for people with multiple cards

2) An option to show 8 decimal points instead of 9 for the price

Add on,

1) A field to enter the number of graphics card, that way it's a bit easier to see btc/per day and coins per day for people with multiple cards

2) An option to show 8 decimal points instead of 9 for the price

3) Retain previous session input value. E.g I input API key. After i close and reopen i dont have to input key again. Same goes for any input value. It retain previous session value. Something like save setting

4) To allow to display profit based on 1 hour average , 3 hour , 6 hour , 24 hour average (using difficulties , similar to whatmine.com). The reason for this is because many coins difficulties have very big swing. JPC can be 500 this moment and 800 the next. It will shows us what to mine for the next couple of hours to a day instead of what to mine right now.

1) Added on the to-do list
2) Added, will just make it 8 decimals .
3) Added.
4) This would require continuous monitoring of the API's, and I might add this if I get that finished in the profit switcher, but not in it for now

[S_tring]

Great work Bombadil. It seems to work well as far as I have tested, and looks to be a great tool. If this was incorporated into a mining manager like Cudamanager it would be fantastic.

Maybe u should open Nvidia multipool switcher using what u have created and charge pool fee. I bet u will make a lot of BTC in long run since Nvidia might take over AMD by year end and your pool will be unique with no competitor. Perhaps part of the pool fee goes to cbuchner1 as donation for being the creator of ccminer and continuous effort in improving ccminer. Developer win , you win ,  Nvidia miner win , everybody win

Ah, CUDApool, pool of my dreams. If you get something like that working, you will already have one miner working there .

Edit: Perhaps something like that algo switcher NiceHash has for SGminer could be worked in, between CCminer and the pool. That would be awesome.

Edit 2: And perhaps some anti-'Coin-crash' switching algorithm, distributing the hashing power of the pool over multiple coins. Multipools have a habit of crashing markets of coins when they become the most profitable coin. This crash can be avoided by distributing the hashes, to, let's say, a certain max percentage of the net hashrate. I believe wemineall.com has something like that.

ccMiner v1.2 is now in the github repo. It adds X13 and Diamond-Groestl

thanks to tsiv and Bombadil for these contributions.

I'll do a binary release tonight after our BBQ.

this include the boost to x13 as well?

[CodyF86]

The boost is because of the increase in Groestl algo efficiency, so yes x13 will be faster now as well.

Has this version just got X13 added?
on a side note ive been doing some test mining jackpot on a pool as solo mining is now basically impossible, 3 days with nothing and this is what i get from actually mining not from stats

Hash@Me - 25MH/s

1 Hour - 1422 JPC
1 Day - 34128 JPC

Doesn't seem too bad, but that is only ~7K per 750Ti, nowhere near the 22K and 10K estimates that were posted earlier. This is not a dig at those guys, just a realistic show of return

Awesome!

Bombadil, can you do a compute 2.1 version of this as well? I would be much obliged for it.

Thanks to the three of you (Cbuchner, tsiv and Bombadil) for the amazing work.

Hash@me stats looks pretty bad, Jamie. In general all JPC pools look ok at the beginning but after long time when the blockchain grows it becomes more clustered and all blocks takes longer to process than to mine. Btw the diff of JPC fluctuates a lot, it sometimes even goes to 1k. So for a realistic mining profit we should take the average diff of the whole day.
Btw you're pretty brave to try solomine JPC these days.

New version of ccminer requires compute 3.0 cards. Sorry but I have a lot of 2.0 cards too, but the new method requires at least Kepler.

1.2 on github wont compile i get this error.

ccminer-cpu-miner.o: In function `miner_thread':

any suggestions?

I'd welcome the idea of someone creating a profit switching nVidia-centric multipool.

Patches to support such feature within ccMiner would be welcome.

How all the programming works is a little above my head, but maybe someone with pool knowledge can answer this idea...

Is it possible for there to be a new front end miner that is open source released that would point all some new CUDAminers pool where the back end profit switching is moved around using the closed source code that Christian wouldn't want released?

Would this be feasible?

If Christian was involved and backing this kind of pool to support his efforts I would have no problem with larger percentages to support his work and make releases worth his time and efforts automatically.

I figure in cases like the latest release where speed goes up something like 40% in some cases that the donation collected from the pool is 10%.

This would give Christian & Co a large amount of hashrate to point at their projects using our power and cards, while still making all of us a significant increase in speed above what could be achieved in cases where the code going public would maybe give away some of his secrets.

He would still have control of when the updates roll out, which he could still do on his own for weeks if he wanted, but like in the case of the killer Groestl and other updates he has talked about sometimes it seems the release would have been over a month ago if not for the code issues of open source.

Just wondering if this is possible and a way to go that would help everyone.

[Karma.ITM]

I think I read one of his posts about a month or so ago and he mentioned he gets "free" electricity from his work place. If he can hit a superblock by himself then it's a double bonus

10% for a pool   Sorry to say but your idea is toxic   (are you an xpm aficionado ?)

Also once everybody has the advantage, there is no advantage for anybody, so why pay 10% for something which won't be profitable anymore ? (this is where someone says: if you don't like it you don't mine it... but still...  ).
Just look at xpm, too many xpm have been mined now it is worths nothing (I know I forgot to sell mine  )

I went from 1755 to 2110 on x13 with the new release on the 750ti.

Looks like you're off to a nice start Bombadil

I took a quick look at what I'm calculating as the most profitable coins for each algo and I'm finding you don't have many of the profitable coins.

Example X11:
Urea
LeagueCoin
SuperCoin

Example X13:
BurnerCoin
BlueChip
MammothCoin

Example Quark:
CNotes
Securecoin
Quark

Just a rough calculation but you'd be missing about 25% or more in profit on some algos.
Won't matter much right now if you are just using it for nVidia cards as JPC and TAC are most profitable but this wouldn't work well for CPU or AMD GPUs as it's missing the higher paying coins that these can mine.
