CCminer(SP-MOD) Modded GPU kernels.

[sp_]

Just tested the latest x86 binary (1.7.1) in the quark algo (default intensities)
Gigabyte windforce gtx 970 G1: (1366Mhz core)
ccminer 1.7.1:     14.2MHASH
Sp-mod private #5: 18.2MHASH (+28,17%)

You can always degrade to ccminer 1.7.1 and loose 30% of the hashrate.. You just need 30% more cards and 30% more power..

A fresh release from 06-nov-2015

i have just tested - and its 1.7.2 that is the current git version sp - and its not 30% less ... ccminer-tpruvot172 is a little less but not very much ...

ive tested quark and x11 ( the two main i use and am mainly interested in - as you know ) ...

like ive said - you are a good dev - and have been supportive ... but that is the thing - have BEEN supportive ...

your move to publish these miners privately and ONLY on windows only aggravates the fact that this is all about btc for you - not about the community ... that saddens me - as i remember the early days where you provided the fastest miner and relied on the fact that you were one of the best ...

now - its just about btc ... simple ... and im not going in that direction ...

i have been mining quark on the three different pools ( all yaamp / yiimp clones - hashpower / yiimp / zpool ) for the last couple of weeks - and the end result is that ccminer-spmod78 comes out in front by a small margin - compared to ccminer-tpruvot172 ...

so your public miner is still better - but only by a little ... your lack of linux support for your private miners is quite disappointing to say the least sp ... and now you are asking a farm owner like me to CHANGE ALL MACHINES to windows if i want to mine with your private miners? ... hehehe ...

i like you - but not that much that i will be willing to change the whole way i mine mate ...

i like the use of the word 'degrade' also - which in its grammatical tense is accurate ... but a real negative connotation ...

ill support those that support me - and wont be told to use a decrepit os like windows - to get the job done ...

i WILL increase thefarm by much more than 30% ( in fact - approx 250% to be more accurate in the coming months ) - i WILL increase the output of thefarm by MUCH more than 30% - and inturn will use more power ... thats fine by me ...

then i WILL be on the hunt for a developer that is willing to work privately - for inhouse optimizations ...

even if i dont find one soon for the 'right' price - at least thefarm will be a force to be reckoned with anyway ...

and im happy with that mate ...

im off to bed ... i have a heavy court case tomorrow which will lead to a bigger trial in a couple of months - as im fed up and finished dealing with greedy disgusting human beings here in real life ... and wont put up with it any longer ...

nite sp - have a great one ...

So, I take it there won't be Decred support by tomorrow then sp_?

[hashbrown9000]

at least not free, no

[induktor]

1.5.74 is cuda 6.5.

1.5.78 is cuda 7.5.

Get the latest version.from git.

Hi sp_, i thought that versions compiled for 6.5 will work on 7.5 only slower
compiled version 78 and it works 

thanks!
Indtk.

[bathrobehero]

at least not free, no

I donated for the nicehash optimized miner even though it doesn't worth it to me at all (I thought it had keccak optimizations but it didn't) because I don't have such a huge farm that a few percentages here and there would make a difference and I'll be quite disappointed if we won't even get Decred support.

Tpruvot already posted decred support on a fork of his miner.

You can always switch to windows for a 5-10% boost in the most profitable algos.

Sp-mod private #6 is soon ready for the donators. with a 1% boost in the quark algo..

0.1BTC to subscribe.

i wont do it mate ...

windows is not for me - and if you continue along this path - thefarm will have to move elsewhere ... and its growing - just at a standstill right now due to my personal changes at the moment ...

Curiously where are you going to go? I would like to know about competition you can purchase miners from...

I've mined for years and I'm pretty sure the majority of miners are on Windows except for the really big farms, most of which have their own developers.


Ethereum is still hot BTW.

What are you guys getting on your GTX 960 mining ether? I get around 11MHASH with the opencl miner. and 10MHASH with genoils cuda port..

[sp_]

Time to move all the compute 5.2 devices in my farm to Etherum

Ether is currently paying

Ether: 0,294BTC/GHASH   (650GHASH network hashrate (191BTC generated to the miners every day) ($72 618))
Quark:0.14BTC/GHASH

gtx 960@ether: 11MHASH (qtminer opencl)
gtx 960@quark: 11MHASH (spmod private #5)

gtx 970@ether: 21MHASH(oc) (genoils cudaminer)
gtx 970@quark: 20MHASH(oc) (spmod private #5)



I will double my profit.

I tested 960 with my 1.0.1 last week @ 11MH/s. Perhaps the default grid/block sizes are suboptimal. Or 960 is a case where the current kernel has some optimization headroom.

my wording was not clear - so ill re-iterate ...

thefarm will be moving 'support' for spmod to another miner / developer - IF support for thefarm is going to be heading in the direction of privatized windows miners only ...

i would not only use ccminer-spmod as the primary miner - but also donate in all forms ( from mining to deposits ) as a support for sp ... purchasing miners and software that cannot be used in thefarm - just as a support / donation ...

this will stop - ( again ) if the support for linux dries up with sp ...

a few percentage loss in hashrate is not a huge hit - nor is it a huge loss if im being 'forced' to move to an os like windows to use the private miners that sp has to offer ...

thefarm is morphing into one of these 'huge' farms you keep mentioning - and by the end of the year - the aim IS to be one of those huge farms ...

thefarm will lend its support to those that support it ... and yes - you are actually right - we will be looking for a dev to optimize internally AND maximize the output of thefarm when this happens ...

the watching from afar - and the respect for sp will still be there - but the lack of support for thefarm ( in terms of linux ) will be directly mirrored ...

my intention on WHERE to use thefarm and how to donate hashrate - will be a matter for me to decide - and develop ... but for now - its about growth and nothing less ... windows will not only stunt the growth - but become a costly burden - in terms of maintenance and service and licensing costs ...

as for the miners being mainly on windows - im glad you mentioned 'im pretty sure' - as i can attest that the largest systems that mine are certainly NOT on windows ... how do i know? ... well - i need prove no more than turn to the largest processing system on the planet ( which i have contacts within ) that use nothing else other than linux in its different flavors - and the developed apps they produce for it ...

some of these systems are the ones that you see mining with massive hashrates from time to time ...

windows isnt even on the radar ...

My fork can be compiled for linux. Last checkin was 8 days ago, so it's still active. All algos are faster than the other forks as well..
But I do have some private miners  that are windows only.. I earn a few bitcoins so I can continue to improve the opensource miner.
A win win for the community..

Here is my todo list:

1. Optimize the Ether miner.
2. Refork ccminer 1.7.1 and replace all the kernals with mine. (This will remove the solomining bug and duplicate shares bug.)


Buy my private kernals to support the opensource project..

I have 4 private miners for the people who donate.

1. 0.1BTC: Pentablake +100-120%
2. 0.1BTC: Cryptonight +10%
3. 0.1BTC: Spreadcoin +10-20% (with full sourcecode / linux compatible)
4. 0.1BTC: All nicehash algos optimized. 0-7%

sp - what is the use for thefarm to have the private miners being windows only? ...

what is the use to have thefarm use miners that become outdated when you decide it is time to release - say ethereum - AFTER the rise of eth and mining? ...

i understand and appreciate - but as you have taken this direction with private miners - this excludes thefarm and anyone else in my position ...

this is NOT a debate about how good a developer you are - it is a situation where you would rather support those that would buy your miner - than those that would buy your miner AND donate to you in ways that most others cant ... with a farm ...

eth may be useless to thefarm when it comes time to release your public miner ...

i have ALL those miners you published above - and i cant use ANY - except spreadminer BACAUSE it has source AND you provided some support ... yet - i purchased them as a gesture of goodwill and a donation also ... same with the 0.3btc i purchased the other miner ( the name of the miner has slipped my mind for the time being ) even though it was a windows miner also ... added to the bag of miners that i purchase and NEVER use - all as a donation to you ...

now you WONT support linux and only release the private miners as windows ONLY? ...

i wont agree to that at all - and you are free to do what you will with YOUR code ... i am free to disagree and state my opinion of it all ... so is all good mate ...

New approach for me.
I sold all my high end cards and just made my remaining 750Ti:s super mobile.




Just one powercord and a wifi connection needed right now so i will move them around a bit.
It would be great to find a place with free electricity.

Anyway, right now this rig bring in around 0.01Btc per day on Quark @ Nicehash.
I will just leave it going and stack some ETH up from day to day with the BTC i make on it.
