sp work is not always easy to reuse, i mostly search the best performance on linux and that doesnt always match with windows :p But i can generally reuse a part of its work, or at least i can see where there are rooms of improvement.
I recently tried the most profitable algos (quark, x11, neoscrypt) in your fork compared to sp_'s and they are significantly slower. I mine on linux only, with compute 5.2 cards and cuda 6.5. I made the latest 10% enhancement over his neoscrypt kernel (which is actually djm34 code): I think you can safely use it on your fork, the only caveat is that it doesn't include compute <5.0 code. It's DJM34's code with modding. 7-10% faster than the first opensource version. You added another 10% so then it's 20% faster than the first version. If people choose to publish their work, other people will help to make it faster. I prefer opensource, but I understand why people keep it private. Here is my first improvement (neoscrypt +7%): https://github.com/sp-hash/ccminer/commit/48072790339fc021f096e20765ed8cd03701c155

@epsylon3 per the official websites mining page https://www.dashpay.io/mining/I downloaded the ccminer optimized for GTX 750 Ti and AVG is picking up that ccminer as a threat "ADP.ARES.Generic" I want to assume this is a false positive, but figured I'd get some feedback first? Please get back to me.

Good day all. Been trying to assemble your latest (ccminer 1.6.6) for a Kepler (GTX 690), (compute 3.5) . Getting the following error : 'keccak256_cpu_init' at line 299 : invalid device symbol. Any advice ? Or is it simply a Maxwell only scypt?

you need to add compute 3.5 in the projectfile/makefile.

Hi tpruvot,
I've seen a ton of commits and that you updated the linux branch, should we switch to it? What are the news?
Thanks a lot!

Is ccminer dropping support for 3.0 cards? Newer versions of the miner don't seem to work, but I also couldn't find anything explicit in readme files.

I removed all the max limit registers and most of the launchbounds, it helped a bit, but still slower than 6.5

tpruvot's or djm34. maybe both? Lost support around the time Vertcoin forked or a bit before that.

the latest version off github (1.6.6dev) doesn't seems to quit properly after setting --retries=0 [2015-09-24 17:47:31] Stratum authentication failed [2015-09-24 17:47:31] ...terminating workio thread
and it just get stuck there instead of quitting.

hello, not sure if it is an related issue, but when the network timeouts (when my connection gets dropped..) it doesn't terminate properly it would segmentation fault a few times under my script and quit, but eventually it just get stuck there [2015-10-01 18:48:59] Stratum connection failed: Could not resolve host: keccak.hk.nicehash.com [2015-10-01 18:48:59] ...terminating workio thread
when i press ctrl-c it still doesn't quit ^C[2015-10-01 18:58:08] SIGINT received, exiting
still stuck there and not taking me back to the command prompt Thanks for the very quick fix!
