CCminer(SP-MOD) Modded GPU kernels.

[sp_]

SP just said he made 6-7 BTC on his last release which was about 100 hours of programming... That's $4200-4900 or $42-49 a hour... which is pretty good for a job you can do on your own and need no infrastructure or investments to produce besides your own time. If he continued to release it and add features, he probably would've made a lot more off his fee, instead he dropped it.

I made less than that..
When I do consulting work for the company I work for we charge 200EUR an hour. I have 16 years experience.

if you have fixed the Makefile.am with the correct parameters - i would like a replacement copy as well please ...

but please send it via a download link - as it seems none of your attachments ( except for the emails themselves ) are coming through ... which is the reason all i have been doing here is watching and reading ...

tanx ...

It's not difficult to fix the makefile. It should be a good exercise for you.

[rednoW]

Because the tromp solver is slow. It is not written for the gpu. Bether to port the silent army kernel to cuda.

Or wait for djm34 or Epsylon to do it ))

i have little time as is building the entire infrastructure for cwi - and doing full time contracts sp ...

and paying for a broken miner? ... and i have to fix it? ... really mate? ...

it would be a blink of an eye for you - considering you are making so much money now with your farm that it wouldnt take you away for too long ... ...

come on sp - do your investors a favor ... especially one that helped and paid a great deal in days not too long ago ...

besides - i do enough exercise as is ... 5 days a week ...

so since i have already plenty of lbry i prefer to mine zcash now which is more profitable

Zcash down another 30% today, and with claymore taking over the hash you bether move your NVIDIA rigs over to LBRY or something more profitable.

i see that lbry is also down, better to stay with zcash for the moment, it's still the top one, but ti seems that etheruem is the close second, but i don't like etheruem and its stupid requirement of oc to much the memto have proper hashrate

btw sp, can't you make something about a faster zcash miner? or at least a good solver for cuda?

In case you missed it, Claymores Zcash is out. Looking at 50sols on a 470. Haven't found a 480.

Are people so excited about the Claymore Zcash miner because it supports Windows? My SILENTARMY Zcash miner is as fast as (if not a hair faster) than Claymore. And open source. And zero dev fee.

Maybe I should prioritize Windows support higher?

I would say this is more of big/bigger miners vs small miners.

I know plenty of bigger miners that use Windows. There is no reason to use Nix in this scenario. People just like thinking Nix is always superior, which definitely isn't the case, especially when it comes to mining... For instance monitoring, tweaking, troubleshooting, and recovery.

While it's speculation, what would you guess DJ made on his zcash miner? (Feel free to just set us straight, DJ. I'm interested for budgeting purposes for a possible future business).

[adaseb]

That 120SOl/s miner from the Zcash forum is most likely a fake... see my posts there.

[bensam1231]

Yeah, also saw those posts. Don't donate till he actually puts something out.

[xPwnK]

He will probably put something out but it's malware instead of miner lol

actually its been confirmed its scam and he is/will be banned from zcash forums

This is your opinion. Mine is different and I have many reasons for it.
The solution to the problem is being able to run both... or write your own miners like I do.

Thanks to all those who explained why they prefer Claymore/Windows over silentarmy/Linux.

To rednoW who said "And Claymore is faster, especially on Tahiti" -> this is not true, silentarmy matches or surpasses Claymore even on Tahiti (especially when taking into account its 2.5% dev fee).

Anyway it is apparent to me that many features (temp/fan monitoring, pool failover, Windows support, etc) are what you guys want in a miner. So I will take this into consideration to prioritize my future developments. But on the other I agree with the 80/20 rule: like Bitcoin in its early GPU mining days, it seems 80% of the hashrate comes from 20% of people who operate large Linux mining farms, while 20% of the hashrate is from 80% of people who operate smaller hobbyist Windows mining farms.

You wrote nice miner! I think someone will port the python part to windows.
I had a stability problems with genoil and your kernels on 7x470 rig. But it was hardware problem - bad riser.

Any ETA of nvidia support ?

Are you still prioritizing nvidia support over windows support?

Of course: it's a law of nature (Pareto distribution). It is the balance point of several processes.
You can't avoid it, just try to climb the curve.

ZCash is being harvested. I prefer organic growth and innovation.
The anwer is Monero..

Which miner now you are using on linux..do you have a link?

This is the topic:

https://forum.z.cash/t/cuda-equihash-miner-with-devfee/6492/81

This is one working link:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/07sbrquak1i5q2i/zcminer_2016-11-03.7z?dl=0

So how many cards are you using and what the total hash you get now?

THanks for sharing it, but it's not thaaaat good, they claim 61 Sol/s per GTX 1070 and I am making 45 Sol/s (substract the 10% dev fee and it will make 40 Sols/s per 1070 )

working on Kopiemtu 2.0 MOD 4 (lubuntu 14.04 cuda 8, driver 367.44.

i monitor the internet activity of that miner using torch (mikrotik router) and no suspicious traffic, other than mining on my pool and the dev pool every now and then.

so unless it has a delayed payload, it's good. just, not that fast but so far the best i could find for nvidia, the lastest nheqminer (windows) only does 34 Sol/s per 1070.

always at 90W TDP btw, max efficiency point.
indkt.

[sp_]

Claymore announced 100sol/s on the r9 290. You get 50 sol/s he get 50.sol/s.
The silent berkeley kernel (the army of dickheads) is a piece of shit.
