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

[becker]

My fork is now doing 9.3-9.4 MHASH with overclock on the 980.

10MHASH with +300 on the core, but not very stable.

thanks for keeping the (pipe?) dream alive.

Hopefully there will be better times for mining soon.

Unfortunately that GPUs mining is as good as death, Christian. I try futile for a few months and last Monday I decided to shutdown my farm. It hurts and I'm feeling the pain in my heart but on another side, I'm feeling more relieved.

No point shutting down now, if in most of the US, it's been cold!!!!!!. Still cheaper than running traditional heat overall.

10 days since I turned off my rig... feeling sad.
It was so nice to see it running everyday, check the power consumption and so on...

yeah, it turned in to a very fun hobby indeed, more like a work sometime, but still a funny job

If anybody feels like mining Spreadcoin.... https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=715435.msg9607661#msg9607661

Apparently the official OpenCL miner does something like 0.55 MH/s on a 280X while a factory OC GTX 750 Ti does something like 1.65 MH/s and a Gigabyte GTX 970 G1 hits 3.8 MH/s on my CUDA version. There's a definite NVIDIA advantage there for now, the AMD number seems very low and will probably improve drastically in the future. Whether or not the coin is worth mining is a whole different question.

just curious what did you change (compared to x11) to have it working (haven't understood a lot of what he was saying) ?

Same here. We are closing down one of our two farms. A very hard work we done, and some relief also.

Was fun while it lasted indeed. Probably only people with "free" electricy now.

Thank you, it's been week a go the cards did something meaningful  Coins from my first will be your!

No pools?

...just read their OP - its a solomining coin.

"Truly Decentralized
In Bitcoin mining power is concentrated in large pools. This puts the whole network at risk in case these pools will become malicious or if their security will be compromised. In SpreadCoin there are no pools, mining power is spread around many solo miners."

Sorry, I was too fast

Is it recommended to have a different u/p in the bat? How are they connected to a  conf.file? can't find it anyhow

[PVmining]

the usual suspects works

Code:

rpcuser=user
rpcpassword=pass
rpcallowip=192.168.8.* (your lan or local ip!)
listen=1
daemon=1
server=1
logtimestamps=1

Thanks again  Now it asks for cudart32_65.dll? nvidia wont start without it

Thanks

just curious what did you change (compared to x11) to have it working (haven't understood a lot of what he was saying) ?

Not so much change than add. Changes would be in the RPC code and Blake. You need more data than just the header that also has more stuff in it than the common 88 bytes and you'll be feeding Blake 185 bytes, and those 185 have stuff that changes every 64 nonces instead of just replacing the nonce for every hash. From there on it's just X11.

Calculating the new fields (that change every 64 nonces) in the header is done using sha256 (88 bytes from the block header), some modular arithmetic (add sha256 hash from previous step to a 256-bit value, multiply by another 256-bit value and reduce to mod ... some 256-bit value), and to finish it off with sha256 of the entire block including the transactions in it, padded to 200000 bytes and you actually process the 200000 byte block twice which makes for a total of 6251 sha256 block transformations,  making it the slowest thing in the hash.

In case you didn't have a chance to check the Spreadcoin thread yet, I replaced the latest zip with one that has cudart32_65.dll included.

[PVmining]

tsiv - big thanks again!

i'll spread some coins with you... just write your address somewere (github is always a good place).
nice to see you here still around, while a lot of people shut down their rigs.

@djm and I owe you a bunch of CSD... thank you too for your skminer.

Added a couple of addresses on the github readme.

tsiv,

Are you having issues with your 970? Every block my 970 finds is orphaned.

I'm gonna have to go with a "nope"
