...and now even the https://github.com/LIMXTEC/xevan_ccminer is removed...
I guess it wasn't meant to work anyway (compiling it but no hashes should have rise some concern in the first run).
Looking at the algo with my limited knowledge it seems that it was pretty much tuned to (modern) CPU's and it "discouraged" GPU implementations.
Looking at the block reward, this makes even more sense: 5 BSD for PoW and 20 BSD for masternodes. The ecosystem is pretty clearly designed and for some good reasons.
I will abandon my search for a solution for Nvidia (old/cheap) GPU miners on this algo. It was an interesting ride, anyway.
I will stay tuned to new developments on BSD though, as I think this is one of the hidden gems of the crypto-currency scene.
Anyway, if a Nvidia miner is publicly released, many rig owners will jump and try to "rape" BSD before reading about block reward allocation, with foreseeable results (frustrations, dumps, name calling Cheesy ).
I might invest in a masternode after the airdrop ends Wink

Think with your brain. It is not illegal (yet).

Sorry for the question:

Is there nvidia GPU miner for bitsend?
I don't like to quote myself, but... there you go:
Some initial info about mining with a low-end Nvidia GPU ( posted first on http://bitsend.info/forums/index.php?topic=95.msg1877#msg1877 ):

--------
I hope that what I will say next will help some less programming-savvy users like me:
1. at this moment there is no point to use a CPU to mine Xevan/X17 based coin(s) - it isn't feasible (excepting the case you have access to indecent amounts of CPU power in some cloud AND you don't pay for electricity).
2. I managed to compile xevan-ccminer on ubuntu 16.04 for my sorry-ass Nvidia GeForce GT 730 card (the 2048 MB DDR3 64-bit model) after a lot of fragmented searches through forums, wiki pages and Nvidia-jargon-loaded pages... On suprnova.cc i get around 385-415 kH/s ... according to my miner's report anyway (in terminal, 'cause I didn't get lucky yet to find a block)...
3. key files for successful compilation (and running) were build.sh and Makefile.am (one really needs to edit only the last one if s/he has the correct driver AND Nvidia toolkit installed);
4. key info can be found on:
    - https://github.com/LIMXTEC/xevan_ccminer -- read and use your brain (it is not rocket science);
    - https://github.com/tpruvot/ccminer/wiki/Compatibility -- this is some awesome info!!!
Finally, my BSD address for all donations is... iNXcvSwdxcPzQb5RYKs9PTPPe2LY6HEazv

P.S. I will write a short tutorial about this subject if I see interest from community (please try to be patient and polite - nobody here likes a demanding "arschloch") Wink
P.P.S. Donations to dev/airdrop funds are equally appreciated - the choice is yours.

thanx Wink

Also, you might find interesting this quote:
Limx Dev , can you give a bit more detailed explanation of Xevan hashing functions? Tried implementing "double x17 with worknumber 128" in CUDA, GPU hashing result is far from expected one. Can try porting opencl kernel, but I think it's not necessary to invent a bicycle, something is hiding in details. Thank you in advance!

The ccminer source is online. Please use algo x17
https://github.com/LIMXTEC/xevan_ccminer

Dev Update..
We have passed the next milestone for core 0.14. My plan was Q1-2018 but I think we can make it faster.

For the time being, my first successful compiled xevan_ccminer for my Nvidia GT730 card (compute capability 3.5, Nvidia toolkit 6.5.19) doesn't show properly in suprnova.cc (no presence/hashrate reported), so I will investigate the issue and I hope to have a solution for Linux first then for windoze (hopefully).

Ok. Thx.

But I can't use miner where there is no "runable" file, such as ccminer.exe

No wonder they have a stable market and a large following. This is what you call the "real airdrop".
Correct. There are some "airdrops" where you have to wear the avatar, signature or similar. Those are not real airdrops. Minimum requirements put aside, we only require people to remain active during the airdrop period (going inactive for weeks is also fine).

@Lauda & Limxdev I'm hero member from now.Please change the airdrop payouts.
Thanks
There is no increased payout in the airdrop based on your rank. All members get the same amount of coin.

Both apply. Firstly you need to reach Senior Member, which is an account that is minimum 240 days old and active for the same amount of time. After you've hit that, you need another ~120 days before you can apply and be accepted.
Thanks a lot for your quick reply. It is out of reach for me then unfortunately.
As said, there is time to meet both requirements before the Airdrop ends (which is in 2019). This was done primarily to combat account farming, thus make the drop less prone to abuse.

Accepting Sr level members is really a wise move to avoid such abuse, like what Lauda stated.
And just want to add also that BSD is the longest running airdrop so far.
And very generous as they don't require to wear their sig/avatar, just to be active in BCT is enough for them.
No wonder they have a stable market and a large following. This is what you call the "real airdrop".
Thanks to the BSD Team!

Hi dev,

my profile il legit for airdrop?

Thanks
No. Your Bitcointalk account needs to be the rank Senior Member or above. There is time to reach this rank, if you're active, before the end of the airdrop.
It says the account needs to be older than 1 year, does this not apply any more?

Is there a point in solo mining with 1 i7? Also, how do you see the hashrate on the debug console?

Thanks

No, I would not try solo mining, but you can make a few coins per week pool mining with a modern i7.
