[ANN] AceMiner 1.3 Fast Grin Mimblewimble Cuckoo cycle miner for AMD/Nvidia

[aceminer]

Ace Grin Miner v 1.3

We are developing a fast multi-gpu windows miner for cuckaroo29 mining algorithm which is used in Grin - a new community-driven implementation of Mimblewimble. Our miner provides speed advantage over competition and comes with a dedicated Discord https://discord.gg/G6T5vFk support channel

Note: we are a code fork of Grin Gold Miner with number of changes and reduced dev fee. You can find the original miner code at github.

New in v 1.3:

• 4-8% speed increase on Nvidia GPUs with fast CPUs

• Support for 6GB Nvidia GPUs (will work on Win7, Win10 reserves too much memory)

• Bug fixes

Nvidia 6GB mining cards notes:

• 1060 6Gb you have to migrate to windows 7

• P106 works on windows 10 no need to migrate

• Make sure you have the following security update on windows 7 the miner will not start without it

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2533623/microsoft-security-advisory-insecure-library-loading-could-allow-remot

Features:

• Supports Nvidia/AMD GPUs with a min of 7gb VRAM

• Simple configuration/auto-detection of GPUs and CPU settings

• 4-6% speed improvement over grin gold miner

• Ongoing development and dedicated Discord support channel

• Moderate 1% dev fee to fund future development

• Linux and Mac versions under development

• Expected speeds for typical GPUs: 1080TI - 4.6 gps, 1080 3.6 gps, 1070ti 3.2 gps

Quick Launch Guide:

• Optional: switch your Nvidia GPUs to "P0 power state" as it seems to increase performance. See tutorial at the bottom

• Update drivers: Nvidia just use the latest, AMD we recommend 18.6.1 adrenaline drivers

• Download and install 2.2.1  .NET Core libraries https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/thank-you/dotnet-runtime-2.2.1-windows-hosting-bundle-installer Note: restart required

• Set virtual memory to 40-56GB (about 7gb per GPU)

• Run start.bat and input your pool data. We recommend the following pools: grinmint.com  f2pool.com sparkpool.com

• Optional: Input failover pool details manually into the created config.xml under <SecondaryConnection> similar to <PrimaryConnection>  

• Run start.bat to begin mining

This is just 1:1 copy paste of original GrinGoldMiner and the only change is that they changed the name (even that they screwed up, still reports as GGM in pools) and they take the fee for themselves. With that they are in violation of the fair mining licence.

They also lie about speed improvement, their binary blob of the solver has same sha256 hash as the GGM original they took it from.
They are just scammers. Be careful, they may also add some "bonus", would not surprise me.

Just use the original GrinGoldMiner (find it in GitHub), don’t fall for these cheap clones.

One of the reasons we decided to release this version is because the 2% fee is too much for an open source project and not everyone can compile.

As for the bonus part our new slogan is: Aceminer... Doesn't give you any bonuses! :-)))

use at your own risk guys!

This version is good though, I use it on all of my personal rigs.

Regards,
Ace

Well I was kinda afraid of some mallwire wrapped in it

[aceminer]

Well the real developer of GGM Photon actually couldn't find any malicious code:
"I’ll give you cedit that you actually take only 1% dev fee total and do not steal passwords, however the solvers you are using are published under https://github.com/tromp/cuckoo/blob/master/LICENSE.txt 4 so you might want to change that second protonmail account back to grincouncil@protonmail.com"

But yeah it's always better to compile from the source (you  can take their 2% fee out if you know how to edit code)

Let's see:

- you took someone else's hard work
- you passed it as your own
- you misled
- you lied
- you were discovered
- you then pretend you're nice

You are a thief. A fraud. There is no place for you here.

just making a mark to not use this...

I don't think they are the same.

The guys always said (in discord chats) that their miner is the fork of GGM and grinminer with some improvements.
This is the idea of open source: anyone can take the code and improve upon it.

Urza, you're shilling your own miner which shows lower hashrates and where you want 2% share. I didn't understand, why it is better than Ace miner?

That's some dark sh#t, man!
I can see that you compile code to pay 0% fee to projects and devs.

Dark sh#t to you, maybe, and yet true nevertheless.

I'm a dev. I don't claim fees for myself based on somebody else's work. That's theft. That's what you do.

Just go away.

[aceminer]

you don't claim, but you also don't pay, correct?

[cryptoyes]

I pay like every honest miner, and I also donate to open source projects like ethminer who don't charge a fee.

You on the other hand are a whole different species.

Don't try to turn this discussion into something else.

Once again, for others who will check your thread:

- you took someone else's hard work
- you passed it as your own
- you misled
- you lied
- you were discovered
- you then pretend you're nice

You are a thief. A fraud. And also pathetic for trying to change the subject.

There is no place for you here.

Edit: Reported.

I believe you, man, I believe you!

Well clearly you care enough to troll me all day. I don't see anybody else trolling :-)))
But its all right, as long as you don't have anything better to do

[cryptoyes]

I'm keeping this thread up and visible so everyone can see you and your insides in all your glory, and to know how to spot a thief and a sc[au]m in the future.

Nobody cares what you want to call it.

Ok, keep up the good work!

This is not a scam though. Our users get more grin compared to Grin Gold Miner that we forked away from. And we have a dedicated discord support group, that works very well now.

I can't push my gtx 1080ti more than 2,8. Driver 417. What can I do?
