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

[cayars]

how much? haha he could retire on what was given

would take me about a year of this kind of mining before I can retire.

tsiv's code release is going to make this difficult.

Good, we don't want you retiring!

Does the following make sense for why certain algos/gpus are going "kerplooey" (very techy term)?

"It's making windows to think the driver crashed because it's taking long enough without returning a result (windows default is 2 seconds for the GPU) and that's why windows restarts the driver and ccminer won't work and show you impossible hash rate. I made the timeout 40 seconds on my machine (tried with 10 first - it worked for some time, but then it crashed again). This made my laptop second nvidea card to start happily mining with about 22 H/s. Don't do this if you don't have a second video card, because your PC will become completely unusable while mining (if you are cpu mining on the same machine run the cpu miner before running the gpu miner, because otherwise it'll become difficult for you to even start the cpu miner). Here is a link to a .reg file, which will set the timeout to 40 seconds - just double click it and it'll add the setting to the registry (it'll ask you if you are sure). Then you should restart your windows and ccminer should work after the restart. If you find it useful don't forget to tip me  "

...and a link to this reg fix:

Code:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\GraphicsDrivers]
"TdrDelay"=dword:00000028

I run mine set with A hex or 10 decimal

As a heads up for everyone, in about 50 minutes cudamining.cc will be going offline for a while while i move my server around.
New desk so ive got to move my mining cards and Tv, so full shut down is needed

Hey guys... just a heads up to anyone who HASN'T taken advantage of it...

http://www.nvidia.com/object/trygrid.html

free 24hrs of K520 grid mining (usually 4x K520 cards)

add tsiv's ccminer = profit

*note*
These do have a keep-alive time... so you must have the window active, and doing something in order to keep connection alive.


It says for North America only... but I have 1 word... PROXY.

[RbelMonstr]

^^ Important note: the Test Drive is for North America only

I was getting excited until i saw that

[S_tring]

I'm going to compile ccMiner on a fresh Ubuntu install. Which version of Cuda Toolkit should I have installed?

[S_tring]

Ignore last question it's 5.5.

Question would be... is where to get 5.5, when you can't get it off nvidia's site... that I could find anyways.

why not use the latest one? 6.037 i mean?

My testing on amazon gave around 90-100 KH/s, so 4 of them will give around 400kh/s not sure if that is anywhere profitable though.

Used it few weeks back when it got released, but it's unusable if from EU. Didn't need proxy, it worked without, but constant disconnects due to high ping.
If anyone from NA wants to try, a little tip. To keep it open just install some kind of "auto mouse move" software (needs interaction to keep open).
Also CPU's aren't bad (8 core), can install Minergate or something and use them as well along with GPU mining.

at 400KH/s is about 0.2XMR/hour or 0.001008 BTC is about $0.57US/hr

at 400KH/s is about 0.2XRM/hour or 0.00504 BTC is  $2.89US/hr

My mistake I meant 100h/s

My mistake too...at 400 h/s it is significantly less...at 200h/s I got about .03XMR over 6 hours running 1 Nvidia K40 with tsiv code.

Because readme says 5.5.

I think using some tricks with the implentation of AES would speed the hash rate up probably into the Kh/s range....there is a cuda application that can pass through the AES using an integration attack on the implentation. (ie: The Integral attack on AES)

Any opinions?

cant you let the cpu do teh aes stuff?

Ssshhhh, don't say it that loud. You'll expose Cbuchner's secrets

You could, but that won't speed anything up. It will get bottlenecked at the CPU.  Now you may get 100-300h/s more...but if we used F.. we could get rid of the S-box alltogether and do the rounds a lot more efficiently and in parallel.

[Odeyin]

As a matter of fact..I wonder if they are using Fast Fourier Transform chips in the mining ASIC's to obtain higher hash/rates...
