Yes but honestly the mining revenue for X11 right now is a joke.

6 months ago we were using an old miners but making 0.006/BTC/MHASH and now we are making what ? Barealy 0.00015/BTC/MHASH

Not profitable anyway

How would you know ?  
It is may-be outdated but it works. and this is with that I compile the stuff you will download to get some money out of your investment...
once you have found the vertcoin thread

LOL, yeah, I'm so lazy that I tried that build it yourself from the text file...  It is outdated, and absolutely meaningless with the updated compiler packages nowadays.  Have you looked at it?  

It is a free service mostly (as most people don't even donate), so the "unhappy customer" behavior, won't help you a lot....
 and again the info has been posted on vertcoin thread (you should visit if you intend to mine it....)
Do you have time to make your rigs running ? (may-be you want people to send you btc directly too ?)

by the way there is a windows-build.txt file in directory doc with everything needed to build a compilation environnement under windows.
(with even the link to the packages...)

7970 just 38khs on Neoscrypt  first time, whats the setting for NEO and which is the best miner?

Reach what speed?

setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1

localpath\sgminer.exe --algorithm neoscrypt -o url -u user -p pass --intensity 13 --rawintensity 6144 -g 2 -w 256 --gpu-platform 0 --gpu-memclock 1500 --gpu-engine 1030 --thread-concurrency 8192 --shaders 2048 --api-listen --api-port 4028 --api-allow W:127.0.0.1

pause

Yeah, great....  Work 60+ hour weeks, and then learn linux or learn how to compile in all the spare time I don't have because I'm so lazy and stupid.

learn to compile or ditch winblows

  you should keep this config for yourself. If sharing, the net hash rate increases so high.

it is Catalyst 14.6

Where does one find compiled win32 or 64 binaries of this? Or is there too much sadistic pleasure in making software illiterate GPU rig operators have to figure out how to compile it themselves?

By the way the latest version of lyra2RE (which should be slightly faster than the one in metalicjames, better groestl256 and one round blake256) can be found here:

You know the funny thing about your whole BS campaign against miners Wolf is after your kernel leaked, x11 difficulty has barely moved. Which means one of three things. Everyone is operating on Maxwell (I find this hard to believe), people didn't find it... OR more then likely it was already well distributed before it leaked.

Remember my threads where I was asking what was happening in the last two months that made difficulty jump so much? Then I surmised that it was because people were using GPUs as space heaters. I'm pretty sure your kernel has been in circulation for quite some time already either through your own hands or from back room trading behind the scenes. Either way I'm earning now what I did before people turned their GPUs on 'for heat' with x11, which just happened to coincide with when you started distributing your kernel.

So you basically shot yourself in your feet by trying to keep everything low key, which just made more people try and sell it behind your back... And apparently all the big miners got it because it hasn't changed a darn thing now that it's public. I suppose they could have their own super secret kernel maker too? -_-

Too bad you didn't just go public with it (besides bragging) and make a miner for it... but I suppose people would just cheat that as well (and apparently also resell it for cheaper to other people). There are also people that would be willing to NOT pay 3 BTC, but donate hashing power as well... But you know, keep thinking what you want.

Oh and people still pay Claymores fee.


Aye, not talking about higher hashrate then what we're getting right now. Same hashrate as publicly available miner, with the optimizations he put in place in this one.

It might be better if kernel was only released in binary form (*.bin), and not the source. The binaries could also be signed so if there is a leak, you could tell who has leaked..

Binary distribution would also eliminate the problem with different Catalyst versions. For example current neoscrypt kernel only compiles properly on Catalyst 14.6, anything newer or older generates HW errors or very slow speed. Then again all scrypt kernels compile best on 13.12, compiling on 14.x works but gives perhaps 30% lower hashrate..

The compiled binaries can be moved around with no problem. I have used the 14.6 neoscrypt binary with 13.12, and it works fine with full speed. Recompiling it under 13.12 halves the hashrate..

Still the biggest problem is, some users have 200 gpus and some have only a few. If you are selling a kernel, the price should be different! It should be "per GPU" price, but it is impossible to control. If the price is fixed, some big rig owner can easily pay a few BTC to get the kernel, and then ruin the profits for all "hobby" miners.

I like to optimize these just for my own fun. And obviously it's good if you get some profit from your work. But at the moment it seems the best way to profit, is just keep the kernel to yourself and enjoy the increased hashrate.. Any wider distribution will just lower my own profit.

You need the develop version of SG 5.
