CCminer(SP-MOD) Modded GPU kernels.

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.

Best miner gtx 1070 free for decred ? .

prob ccminer 1.8.4 that's what i use

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

woah really ? im interested, where can i find windows binaries for this one ? thx

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.

sha256 has been used a lot even recently, for example in LBRY, M7, veltor, etc.

Link please.
What hashrate on gtx1070?
On  1.8.4 I get only 2200 Mhs/s.

try this
http://cryptomining-blog.com/tag/xvc-miner/ , link is on the bottom of the page, but i think you should get around 2500 mh/s on 1.8.4 with 1070.

I'll compare both of them, thanks mate.

Decred up another 25% today..

What do you get on the gtx 1070 with the opensource miner?

more than 3GHASH?

Show some photos with clocks and intensity..

I get a Trojan warning on the exe file.. Another false positive?

I dont know to be honest i did not check since the site is pretty well known.

[Squall10]

As for Decred, I get around 2,4 GHASH with a GTX 1070 Foudner Edition 65% TDP  +200 core with ccminer 1.8.4. Same thing for 1.7.1

I made a pascal build of the latest alexis opensource.( Oct 28, 2016) (DECRED)

I get 3.1GHASH on the gtx 1070 with max oc. But it trottle down to 2.9-3

Is this all?

@3gHASH mining decred a single gtx 1070 will do $2 a day..

Still not enough to make it more profitable than zcash due to high electricity consumption Would need a little bit more speed.

Zcash is only doing around $1.6

It is the fastest miner currently, getting about 2900+ MH/s.

But it should do 3.1. Gpu-z is showing termal problems, and the gpu is clocking down from 2100 to 1900.. But my gpu is less than 60 degrees..
