Can anyone share their experience on yield and profitability (relative to BTC) over time ?
Is this even relevant to miners at present ? With the rapid decease in block reward, it would not seem too prudent to sell at present.
As Coinchoose is at present unable to list Coins with a hash that is not Scrypt or SHA256 , that limits the exposure of the coin.

it's the same, there is a binary posted about 3 pages back that someone was nice enough to make. If you feel adventures the source has been moved to github
I can upload a binary as well if there's interest.
That would be great, I would like to see it tested on something not AMD first. There is a "makeprofile.sh" script. It now has enough warnings that I worry it may have issues if not tested. Looks good right now, but the goal is fast, not necessarily good. Anyway, if the middle two lines match anything else the script prints out, at least two hashes where done correctly....
Oh, and there is a new option.
./configure CFLAGS="-msse2 -O3 -DCHEAT"
needs testing but the idea is that it's faster to just try a new nonce that run groestl twice. Anytime that section is found to be needed ran, it just give up. Half of the hashes end up being garbage. But, it now does more than twice the speed, for a net gain. EXPERIMENTAL, need to be ran to see if actually improves payouts as it may be losing shares. Still runs that section when required, but never twice.

So how to mine solo with this new miner?

Compared to the original miner though, it is about 85% faster, uses SSE2 along with ASM for two of the rounds.

hold on a min, are people saying the uncle bob miner is 85% faster than the http://stonefoz.myfastmail.com/cpuminer-quark.zip one?
are there any detailed install instructions for linux or follow the same install guide for the uncle bob one as the stonefoz one?

I'm looking for suggestions or ideas. Groestl-Hash seem to be the deal breaker right now. It's taking up as much time as all other 5 hashes combined. Any speed up for Groestl would be a win. Currently the V1 release confuses the compiler slightly less and is a smidgen faster. However I think this code is currently the best option for speeding up beyond that. It's still around twice as fast as the default miner.
Added bonus, almost everything for quark now fits a single function. While it won't fit on a GPU until the code size is reduced and memory is shrunk, it's just yet. Consider this my last update for cpuminer.
I wrote this cause I'm greedy, and so I leave my tipjar.
