I modified the pascal cuda miner and optimized it, now it's doing 900 Mh/s on a 1070 consuming just 100W.
Is it good? Worth working on it, now that there are pools?
That'd be great if it consistently gets that. The other miners also have extreme issues with CPU utilization. Only worth it if you get it working with pools. You can't solo mine anymore.
This is sort of a weird predicament, I think a lot of people are put off by this coin (myself included) due to the shitty hodge podge of job they did on the wallet and the miners. Everything is held together by band-aids and isn't explained very well. I wasted 12 hours not knowing my miners were duplicating about 70% of their work because I didn't read the fine print (I'm sure I'm not the only one based on the confusion in this thread as well).
That being said, Pascal is an extremely healthy market for mining right now, which means if it can be optimized, it's in demand. It doesn't matter if this coin is a pump and dump or whatever, compared to other altcoins it's still a very green pasture. The hashrate battle is going to start now, which means optimizations are needed to make things more competitive (especially with AMD).
When the pools get ironed out and the miners get ironed out, this is going to be another core market even if it drops down to Lbry levels, it'll still be worth mining and having as a option.
