The main part of MTP is dead simple, I'm truly amazed there aren't good open source miners out there already.
For the algos we add to this miner, we only select those where we truly feel we can add enough persistent value to warrant a higher-than-normal dev fee. MTP should/will have good miners shortly, or it's really an embarrasing fail for open source in crypto. Moreover, with the hack they've added with a binary stratum protocol to keep effective bandwidth down, this is a ton of work for us in this miner. Otoh, it would be very simple to add it to e.g. a sgminer clone. Last, I think AMD cards will have a hard time beating Nvidia from an efficiency perspective for this algo, which also means adoption might be much smaller than you'd hope for as a miner dev.
Given all this, the probability that we would ever get the time spent on MTP back is tiny, so we've opted not to do it. Tbh, if I had the time I would rather spend it on an open source implementation.
Kerney666 its been more than 2 months, i think a high fee can be warranted still no stable amd miners available bro.
Yeah, I'm still amazed. I haven't kept track of what djm34 and fancyIX ended up with though, is it still crap? Last I checked they were getting closer to the nrs I would expect, 580 maybe 1.4-1.6 MH/s, Vegas should be able to do 3.1-3.5 MH/s. You need the compute for MTP, so 64s will outperform 56s.
Only djm34 is working on the kernel for now. So there is no "they".
Anyway, I have a stable release:
