CCminer(SP-MOD) Modded GPU kernels.

[marvykkio]

the ruin of the entire market are all shit coins that come out, many algorithms, many miners, this is the truth, there's too much shit around

[m1n1ngP4d4w4n]

Or simply, he gets more money by mining with his kernels than selling them and mining because, in the latter case, the difficulty goes up to the point that the total profit is lower.

Good point too  

But after all its his choice, it's the same with asic builders, they expand their farm with their new product and only sell them to the public when ROI is done for them, and near impossible for their customers, it's to us to balance out the offer/gain.

Actually i get betters results with 1.7.1 alexis, about 10% up from 1.8.4

np still not enough to make it more profitable than zcash . 1070 should do at least twice as much, i hope someone will further optimize decred miner.

Blake based coins are usually mined better with fpga, so it's unlikely that gpus can be profitable. Unless the algorithm is new or weird (like pentablake).

Why? at the moment it seems that decred is decetly profitable, at least in the short term. A better optimized miner for nvidia would make it better than zcash.

Pallas looks at things very long term. There are probably people with FPGAs already on Decred, but they can only expand so fast so hard... Just because they exist doesn't make GPU mining obsolete.


Pascalcoin pool miner would still be neat.

There have been for months, just like on sia, vcash and now pascal as well.
Of course if you do your math and find it's profitable, you'd better do it, but don't count or invest on it.

Mining in general is always chasing the next newest thing. Even x11 was eventually violated by ASICs. In between coins are destroyed by FPGAs and even normal GPU coins are eventually pushed split with highly optimized private miners.

There really is no 'safe' area. About the safest thing to have come along is Ethereum, which can't really be optimized or improved at all. I'm sure even Equihash has private miners operating on it now that are 20-30% faster then pub miners (including fee based ones). It's like the myth of sisyphus where he has to roll a bolder up a hill in hell for all eternity.

You can try to get your own private developers... I've tried offering jobs to individuals in PMs, I try to offering them publicly and raise awareness of markets that can be tapped into, which usually aren't tapped. I look for niche markets and monitor them all the time and never talk about them in threads. I try to outpace others with lending, creativity in my mining setups, and investment opportunities.

It's a never ending battle and struggle to stay ahead. I've already been strangled by cryptos, that happened at the end of '14 when there was nothing profitable for AMD... It can happen again. I'm still in cryptos though... as are you.

Pascal might be FPGA bait... but right now it's profitable and the miners DEFINITELY can be improved. Not just the stability, usability, and the protocol (stratum), but also performance can vastly be improved. I'm not super into coding and even I can figure that out based on GPU utilization and TDPs. Software development, specifically for miners moves a LOT faster then FPGA development, even if FPGAs and eventually ASICs catch up... That's a ways off and when that happens, we move onto something else. It's part of the cycle.

if you look at the gpu usage of my pascal miner, you'll see it's at 99% or 100% always.
The "official" one is much lower, though. It just doesn't make use of the full capacity.
But it's sha256d and, being the first ever gpu miner algo, and being worked on to death, I don't think there is much room to improve on it.

100% utilization isn't the same thing as a GPU being fully utilized... Difference in power consumption for instance...

Not sure how much it was 'worked to death'. Sha256 being bitcoin was taken over by FPGAs and then ASICs before mining ever took off. Mining has matured immensely in the last five years or so. It's been just that long since SHA256 was really used on GPUs.
