Something to get the NV people by until someone makes a decent release. It's already practically 100% djm's code (shavite that eats 80 bytes of input) in addition to cb's original x11 so I expect djm to add it to his fork... when he wakes up, I guess. Early bird gets the instamine, djm is clearly losing his touch

I haven't instamined a coin in a long time...  
I don't have time at the moment, I have to (re)write the opencl miner for coinshield...  
(also I have many update to pass to my release, so it will take a bit longer... to be honest, if there is already an amd miner, there isn't much incentive for a fast nvidia release... the coin is already raped...  )

True enough, personally I moonwalked away from the coin after the initial insta. Just figured I'd put out some kind of a CUDA miner since the OpenCL one was, unsurprisingly, not running very well on NV cards.

what are the algo ? Shavite Skein Simd ? Might not be the best set of algo for NV (I have a somewhat faster skein on 900s see sk-1024 implementation)

Nobody here still haven't mentioned new "CPU-only" coin, GAP? [

This is so unfair I already mentionned it

Even it's belonging to C&C new area of interest (PRIMES).

finding large prime gaps is much different from finding prime constellations.

I think we will be trying to be the first ones to come up with a Riecoin GPU miner.

Yep, header > Shavite > SIMD > Skein > result. Apparently a 280X does around 8 MH/s, I hit 8.9 MH/s on a 750 Ti (fairly high factory OC) and 20 MH/s on a 970. No big advantage on either camp I guess.

[Epsylon3]

looks like it ^^ no but really, it's kinda strange that two cards fail within 3 weeks. I'll keep an eye on the one that failed today, so far it's running since ~4h. EVGA might start to hate me, if I send them another card :/

Check your 12V line on the motherboard connector (not CPU one), if less than 11.7 there is too much on the 12V for the PSU or MB

I almost broke my Motherboard putting 3 cards together without PCX 12V connectors :

Result :

[go6ooo1212]

Just think about BTC mobo. They have additional power connector for 12V power line , for more than 3 GPUs

there is a way to divide the load on ccminer for the same gpu? if i open two instances of ccminer the thing simply crash, i remember in sgminer, that in this case the loaded is divided

it depends... if the memory usage of the 2 instances is larger than what is available on the card, then it will crash.
Otherwise it should be ok (I guess... I assume 2 instances running on the same algo... never tried mixing stuff)

it use 1gb of memory for every instance, approximately, maybe it's not a good idea with petit card like 750ti lol, but with a 970-980 should work

someone tested it on scrypt, how many khs for the 970 and 980? cryptoblog reports 600khs for the 980, which seems too low

by the way, anybody tried neoscrypt ? (with amd obviously  )

Is Feather Coin the only one using the Neoscrypt algo?

t
I think there are a couple of other coins using it

Guncoin is now using it.

I seen that. It looks like there are a couple thousand more blocks before it kicks in.

I  am just curious to see what the 970 will do with that algo. I'll try FTC since it looks like they will hit their target block first.

what is the speed on an amd ? (haven't tried).

I'll run it on my 280x and 270x also. Should be sometime on the 26th when it is ready.

What's the command line to mine Neoscrypt with ccminer?

What's the command line to mine Neoscrypt with ccminer?

As of right now, I don't believe there is one. I was going to use cgminer to test with.

[Epsylon3]

indeed, no scrypt in ccminer (yet), only cudaminer do it

[unitedminers]

Thank you antonio8 and Epsylon3 !!

Linux or Windows?

I guys, sorry to bother you but i just started to mine some Litecoins and i'm unsure about my settings so i'm asking you.

I'm mining on the latest CUDAminer using CudaManager, i have a GTX 970 and use http://www.simplemulti.com/.
I'm mining Scrypt Litecoin (+MM) Diff: 8-32768, and i am able to mine at some 450kh/s avg (did'nt really tried to found a "high optimum" for now), but my problem is that i'm absolutly not sure if it's "good" regarding my GPU / settings ect...
I found very few to no informations on that new nvidia gen, even litecoin's chart don't list those GPU at this moment :/

If you guys could help me on that, or give me a better way / solution that'd be very helpful.

[Epsylon3]

sorry, i didnt said neoscrypt (only scrypt)

Tip for all GPU mining…don't mine Scrypt coins, or any other algo that has been raped by ASIC hardware.  GPU's simply can't compete against ASIC, and you're wasting electricity/money.  The best thing to mine with GPU's, is any of the newer algorithms, such as any X## coin (X11, X13, etc.), or M7, and others.  In your case, you're in luck because you got a 970 card and NVIDIA GPU's seem to currently have an advantage over AMD on the X## algorithms.  Although the 900-series is so new, that the creators of ccMiner don't yet have optimizations for this new generation of Maxwell architecture…but don't worry, your 970 will still run very well even with the current version of ccMiner.

Also, since you said you were using CUDAminer (which is currently extremely outdated, and only used for mining those older algorithms such as Scrypt), you had better go here to get ccMiner and start mining newer (more profitable) coins:  CUDAmining website

[PVmining]

They don't really have an advantage - I'm pushing 750Ti level of hash per watt right now across almost all relevant AMD chips.

booooring - you don't open source your miracle... so it is only a theoretical comparison.
it count's what everybody could use at the moment.

BUT... you tweaked the hell out of openCL, would be interesting to see the same effort on tuning cuda.

this is not possible, you know, no matter how good is your code, if you reach hash/watt of maxwell, then maxwell isn't optimized at full, your code already is

Yeah, kind of sad to see that i'm struggling to achieve some decent Kh/s when somes are sitting at 20mh/s T.T
Thank you for your help, i tried to mine some X11 with CCMiner already, i'm getting thoses results:

I know it's not optimized already but i don't think it's that bad so far right ?

too slow....970 is hiting 7000-7400KH/s already in ccminer, update your miner.

Is there any fork/plan for neoscrypt I might have missed?
