Looking towards the next two months - How do you think GDDR5X and HBM2 memory coming in the Pascal lineup will affect hashrates? Is the increased memory bandwidth expected to increase ETH (dagger-hashimoto) hashrates greatly? I'm assuming memory changes will have little effect on compute oriented algos like DCR (Blake). How about quark?

hbm2: higher bandwidth usually isn't an advantage for mining, lower latency may be.

Yes, the result is, but at the moment the gap is very small, but still progress is being made
That's why I will release a sp-mod ultimate with all kernals optimized. Decred donators wil get a 0.1 BTC discount. Profitabillity is changing from algo to algo. I have optimized all the 17 algos from x1 to x17, When I merge my kernals into the latest 1.7.6 branch other unkown algos will be faster as well. M2m, c11, sib etc..

We need fast random access, and not bandwidth. The 980ti is not much faster than the 970 in Etherum. Pascal consumer cards have been delayed until q1 2017. The pascal teslas are too expensive and only for cloud computers...

The pascal teslas are too expensive and only for cloud computers... Nvidia pascal rumors on the launch order of the cards practically change daily. It will be interesting to see which card ends up being the sweet spot for mining price/performance. Last I read the GTX 1070 (or whatever they end up calling it) may have GDDR5. And there MAY be two models of the GTX1080, one with GDDR5 and one with GDDR5x all releasing around June. I was under the impression that it was only the GP100 (GTX1080 Ti) with HBM2 that wasn't coming to consumers until 2017. If higher bandwidth isn't usually an advantage, like you say pallas, then it could be a good thing for miners to stick to the cheaper pascal cards without HBM2 and primarily utilize the efficiency gains that the new architecture and smaller node process bring. It could be a good thing to have features on the enthusiast level gaming cards that aren't of much use to miners to keep prices in check.

no, GP100 is different from the Tesla P100 (2017 for consumers).. announces should come in the start of june...
else, i decreased yiimp decred fees following the last two days problems (the last 24h in fact)

Yelp ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) X11 ASIC miners are shipping at moment (ibelink X11 miner 387mhs at 750watts) Tonnes of anarchy on the Alt coins system for the next 4 months, lot's of hardforks onto alternative algos for X11 cryptos! On top of that, Bitcoin block halving in June 2016 and speculators are gambling on Bitcoin price going after June; they hoping they can buy back their Alt coin position at a lower price. Essentially, it all about mining and holding you Alts for the next 6 months, until the anarchy disappears and the Alt coin prices goes back up.

Yup, been happening for about two weeks now. Either a big pump is happening soon or they're looking for a more manageable burn rate. The difference is very small. Currently buying the paid miner a dubious idea. Waiting for further improvements of the code of the miner from SP, to achieve a significant gap.
But my buyers last month have got a nice profit. The only difference is that Alexei used a couple of months to match my speed of the privateminer, and opensourced his work (11-april-2016). What Can I do? I added a few MHASH'es to the donators..(12-april-2016) ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Not sure why anyone is still bitching over inching a bit more out of Decred. What I, and I'm sure a lot of other people here want, is a Eth/Dcr merge miner. I'd pay again for this as long as it works remotely well. Claymore already has a working one for AMD, but that doesn't extend to AMD. Nvidia has quite a bit of processing power that currently isn't being used... It should be. For the love of god, make a merged miner. Why aren't more people talking about this?

I buy private Nvidia miners. Send information and/or inquiries to my PM box.

On the CPU it's .73 x11, on GPU it's only .23.

I don't know that building that capability into a single instance will be significantly better unless it can allocate resources more efficiently to serve each algo better.

I have been testing 5x970 vs 5x290, claymore vs. genoil+sp. There are so many variables that I need to do much more testing but I can already say that it works on nvidia too. Efficient? Profitable? I don't know. Currently running ~90+1500...
