Making a GPU miner for this is not that easy because of the exotic algo's used (i.e. ripemd / tiger). You need knowledge how to port the algo's to opencl... It is definitely possible but hard to do

RIPEMD160 a child could compute on paper, it's not hard. The multiplies are kind of a pain to do in OpenCL/CUDA, though.

There won't never perfect solution but we can not let get ext. 20% of supply get into few people hands if it will be like that it
XCN will be treat as NXT Bytecoin and bad distribution is very hard to defend later IMO , it cause rise of clones even higher than original
(which is sad).

True. But those people are also taking on risk that I don't have.

With GPU miner without pool will be hard to deal with 100+ GPUs farms ( i have seen many in VTC while mining )

Gpu miners can be already in play -in 3 day mining with i7 3770k and i have 0 balance so i can tell you that CPU mining doesn't exist ( at least for me ).
Anyway like every where those who got GPU miner 1st behind scene will get big $$; x11... crypto night everywhere is same.

At the end coin can lose some fairness and cause it "clones" claim better distribution - lets just look at Bytecoin and Monero
if such situation will stay long next clone will get BIGGER attention and community at the end market share.

where are the pool commands and software? sent me a link, i will try to make one.

poolsofhonor.com

https://github.com/MiniblockchainProject/SimplePool

Is the pool code. Currently it just writes share data to CSV file. Can be easily modified to throw shares in a database. The trouble is that it's difficult to get a list of blocks mined from wallet when trying to execute payouts. I think the easiest thing to do is to modify the wallet so it returns the block hash when a block is found. Then the database will have list of block hashes and you can query for orphans during payout. I can help with some of these things. Usually on #cryptonite IRC on FreeNode, or feel free to PM.

Maybe you should try to help ocminer too, he is the force behind suprnova and so far Sad

Code:

For me the Blockchain / getblocktemplate Implementation of this coin is totally crazy and "broken" - If that won't be fixed, there'll never be a working pool for it.

How GPU mining?
Who can give a GPU software and method？

No GPU miner available.

Is there any windows CPU miner available?

Yeah, I think it's in the OP. Only solo mining, though - pool software was released, but no ops yet.

Can't decide whether to finish the miner quickly or optimize it to death...

Given the hash rate being thrown a quickly released miner with slow hashes might not really mine anything significant.

Not releasing it immediately. Which is why the conundrum, I have people waiting, so I can't take too long, on the other hand, I can't give them shit, either. Delicate balance.

Huh, that would have saved me some time. Oh, well.

Would appreciate if you can share the miner after it's ready Grin
