Here comes x17 (cryptohash).

I notice that Blake is the first of the 17 hashes for x17 listed. So if a future version of ccminer implements x17 does that mean we'll finally get Blake-256 support that isn't bollocks?

i think now is the beginning of next phase of mining trend. New algo every couple of weeks. In the past not so often to have new algo. People just clone a single algo (e.g x11) over and over again.

Major exchange also having a new trend. "See who add coin faster".

Just a heads up "new" algo coming soon in about 2 weeks time.

Here comes x17 (cryptohash).

Not very profitable to mine right now.

I was about 75% done incorporating this into nvMiner when the profit margin just dropped so I stopped working on it.

Just an observation:
I have a bunch of different GPUs from both AMD and nVidia in desktop and mobile formats.
I've benchmarked speeds for all algo on my GPUs and I have a "backend" that calculates the btc per day per KH.

My GPUs are currently mining 3 different coins as each is more profitable to a specifics GPU.

Right now I'm mining X11, JHA and CryptoNight on GPUs.

On CPUs I'm mining CryptoNight and X11 depending on the processor.  Again all based on hash rates.

I was lucky enough to make enough on FRESH early on to pickup another GPU.  I typically don't buy cards on credit but earn the funds first then purchase the hardware so they are paid for before ever being turned on/installed (can't lose this way).  I cashed in some coins today and have about 1 btc for new hardware. Debating if I want to purchase more now or just hold funds for 4 to 5 months when Maxwell 880s are available.  Going to have to break out a spreadsheet tomorrow and do some calculations. Check to see what's available used in AMD land (some good buys to be had), plus they will hold 90% resale value for a few months if picked up for a good price) vs maybe 4 new 750ti cards.  See what kind of return I think I can get before December (when I think 880s will be available).

Anybody else doing similar planning wise on hardware?

I'm not sure if I upgrade my 4 750 rig to 6 cards, or wait for 880 too...

nope, it is still blake 512 (and there is will be soon skein1024 and keccak1024 to implement first then whirlpool and after that may-be blake 256),

Is there an exchange for PPL already? It's not listed on the OP.

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I'm behind on this thread. Does your nvMiner work with Windows 8.1 and the CryptoNight algo?

Also if you were 75% done with x17, does that mean you implemented the Blake 256 hash? If so could that alone be added? Right now there's no good Nvidia based solution for Blake 256 that I know of - AMD is still king.

nvMiner is just a combination of all the current ccminer algos in one program.  So instead of having Chris's, tsiv and djm34 and needing to keep track of which does what.

I've just incorporated all their different algos into one miner.  I changed the name to nvMiner not trying to make it seem like it's anything different but to make it "the nVidia" miner.

Before I stopped working on it, I was first going to make it a hybrid where some parts run on GPU and some parts on CPU.  The source was released in a way that would allow this to be done fairly easily.  Next would be to profile it and then start working/converting to GPU the slowest algo then the next slowest.  So basically, about half or more of the algos could run on the GPU while the others run on the CPU.  Should be a lot faster then just CPU this way and as each algo was converted it would get faster and faster.  That was the plan anyway before I stopped since it wasn't worth the effort.

Ok so i have changed things a little,
if you go to http://cudamining.cc/url/releases you will see a list of user submissions by their forum name. Right now none of the versions have been moved to the correct user except one by tsiv

Please let me know who did what out of the current releases, you can see them under bigjme and i will move them to the right user.

Some versions are missing aswell as please send me links to them, say who they are by

Versions will be changes by each user soon also so the first release i have of tsiv's will be names v1 so people can reference their own version numbers.

It doesnt look nice right now and there may be some issues in the website when i have changed code and not check it for errors, again report all bug to me

I do prefer messages directly so i can see them as most days i only skim the forum and miss a lot of stuff

The pages where the current users can login should be done tomorrow as i have some changes to make to the form i am using.

So all in all, everything SHOULD be up and running so that users can post their own mining release by tomorrow night (when ever i go to sleep ), but only i can create users to prevent spamming

No Christian page?

Only:
Amph
bigjme
djm34
tsiv

Right now it displays by the uploaded user not the creator. That can be easily switched

lmao the second algo is difficult to find..for copy paste in the code lol


some old games don't work for me, this is why i prefer w7

none of these algo exist for gpu yet...

sha2big is on github, for amd

would have gain 2 hours, If had known it before (but lost part of the fun)

edit: there isn't a sh2big kernel, there are just the files from sphlib

[bigjme]

ok so i have moved the releases to who actually released it, here are the current devs
Amph
bigjme
Bombadil
Cbuchner1
djm34
tsiv

Amph and djm i currently dont have any releases from you guys, tsiv i only have one for you.
If you can message me with all your other releases i will get them added, or wait till i send through login details tonight

yeah the kernel isn't there, but i think it could be found with some serious search, but for the other algo(never heard of it) there is nothing

Hey if you compile releases, add new algo's and give them to people, your a dev
basically its just posting all the releases each person has done, so if someone says "get Amphs latest release" they can just look on cudamining.cc for your releases

It will let you add releases yourself aswell as i am massively behind on releases and whats the new thing right now

yes. Amphs welcome to the club.

Maybe should form a Nvidia foundation ?

I would not use cuda 6.5 until it is officially released and tested. I have seen no difference in performance between 5.5 and 6.0, you need 6.0 to use sm_50 but nothing in ccminer requires that yet.

Your earlier error would appear to be from not having automake installed. Make sure you have everything needed for compiling C++ applications. I am not familiar with the usual setup for this on ubuntu.

Thank you for answering!

I've found a website "How to Compile a C/C++ Program on Ubuntu Linux" http://www.wikihow.com/Compile-a-C/C%2B%2B-Program-on-Ubuntu-Linux and it says ...

"Open up a terminal on Ubuntu Linux and install the build-essential package by typing the following command in the terminal
Type/Copy/Paste: sudo apt-get install build-essential
This will install the necessary C/C++ development libraries for your Ubuntu Linux system to create C/C++ programs."

... so probably I will only need the "build-essential" package. Let's see in a few hours

You need the Cuda toolkit installed to compile ccMiner. Build essential is not enough on it's own.

ok then, at least i compile fast lol

You're right! Some pages before I've posted this conclusion after reading the "Cuda Getting Started Linux" PDF from Nvidia and what I would do at the moment if I could access my mining rig.

sudo apt-get install build-essential

sudo apt-get install automake

lspci | grep -i nvidia

gcc --version

"download the Cuda toolkit from https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-toolkit"

cd Downloads

sudo dpkg -i cuda-repo-<distro>_<version>_<architecture>.deb

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install cuda

export PATH=/usr/local/cuda-6.0/bin:$PATH

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/cuda-6.0/lib64:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

cd ..

"download and extract ccMiner from https://github.com/djm34/ccminer"

cd ccminer-master

chmod +x configure autogen.sh

./autogen.sh && ./configure && make

Thank you for every improvement suggestion!

actually what do you mean by release ? the source or the binaries
You can put my github on the link, but for the binaries so far it was either Amph or cryptoblog
(and quite frankly, I have remove compute_3.0 from the binaries I make... it takes too much time...)

[bigjme]

If you look at the releases so far you can select the upload compute version, so you can upload the binary, or compiled versions
