Topic: CCminer(SP-MOD) Modded NVIDIA Maxwell / Pascal kernels. - page 447. (Read 2347659 times)

You suck... and yes, you don't always get to pick your coworkers.

It's not surprising considering the state of mining in general, the state of SP_MOD development, and the too frequent instances of
verbal diarrhea. But I browse it regularly too.

THIS THREAD SUCKS--

Although, for all it has become, I still read it first every day.  Lots of useful information and amuzing arguments.  Well qualified coders and miners dump their best loads here daily.       --scryptr

I'm inclined to think that 'dickheads' is a reasonably accurate description.
See, paying upfront, and sometimes ongoing fees, for something that might be a wee bit faster, on only some model cards, on some magical clocks, on a limited set of operating systems, ignoring the additional rejects, and never really receiving an upgrade that matters, takes a special kind of person. You know... A 'dickhead'. 

It's really only a couple of people that continue to release their open source work for the benefit of the nvidia miners. In particular, and referring generally about recent times, I'm most thankful for Epsylon3 and Alexis, with casual but valued contributions from other folks who know who they are. Big thank you guys!

SP_ please ignore the distraction. By all means proceed with your sales of whatever-shitalgo-0.0001%-spmod to the 'dickheads'.

That strategy worked for Trump.

come work with us mate ...

we have the fastest miner on the planet currently on the vast majority of algos ( for maxwell - and pascal in the coming month ) - and still fully developing it ...

some algos could use your expertise ...

its obvious that a copy and paste with small teaks of other devs work is working for sp - so come and join us real devs ...

we have also a negotiation in place with baikal currently for the mid year upgrade to thefarm ... so even though its all in the background - we have NOT disappeared ...

its funny reading these posts though ... especially how sp calls his customers 'dickheads' ... and everyone STILL pays him ... hehehe ...

Miner fee... niche miners.

heu... I didn't quit at all, I just don't really follow what's going on bitcointalk (and I am more active on #ccminer channel) but yes I avoid to release stuff, if it doesn't make sense to me financially (meaning donation are ok, but at the end of the day the whole has to match time/money ratio in par with the cost of life in my country... )

Mmm... GPU mining has been depleted to the point where it's break even with ASICs, only with a lot more problems. Meaning you could just buy a Antminer, plug it in and get a better experience with less headaches and make more money.

ca va bien?

please smile more quietly tx. super poison

My opensource skein does 590MHASH on the gtx 1070.(01-jan-2017)


The alexis ccminer sp-mod does more than 600MHASH.

I always spare some juice for the dickhead release

I don't accuse alexis for anything. I just optmize every algo in his fork and smile quietly.

BTW SP have you considered adding Equihash to your open source miner?

Yup...

And DJM and Epsylon are both very good coders. It is a shame that DJM quit and Epsylon really doesn't do much anymore. DJM complained about unfair payments (not enough donations) and Epsylon laments about not getting enough, meanwhile Claymore and EWBF are making fists full of money with a miner fee, which I've tried to perpetuate numerous times.

Talked multiple times about a fee based miner that multiple coders worked on or a business, no one has done it. I understand developers don't want to take time to implement something that isn't basically just optimizing kernels, but it's kinda silly that people complained about things that can be changed. I don't have the expertise to start a coding company nor the capital, but I'm sure someone else does. No one has stepped up. The closest thing we've gotten is Nicehash, and EWBF went and basically copied their shit so we probably wont see that again (and yes notice how we haven't gotten any speedups since Nicehash stopped?). Pretty much sold on EWBF copying their work, even if it's not verbatim it doesn't matter... all the coders know that too.

Protecting IP takes work too, also need someone that's good at that to make things work. It's really a shame Claymore is a one man operation. He seems to have the expertise with everything and really would be nice if his works expanded to everything else.

Someday. My operation hasn't grown enough before the eth-babies caught up (and megacorps) and now it's basically fighting against them. We'll need another culling to deal with the kids before we'll have massive expansion again. Coins like Ethereum and Zcash don't come around every day. There are other side coins that need work, once again a company would be great here to help expand on the fringe coins and algos (x11-gost for instance), but it's just not happening.


I have lots of great ideas, just not the capital to move on with them. Ethereum grew too much and ruined mining for the moment.

Super Parasite ... Steal & Profit ? :p What means SP ?

Seriously, this kind of accusations against Alexis is really unfair... you didnt share anything since months

Start writing a full algo by yourself and then you will be allowed to say such things...

Yes i can understand your point, always a pain to be stolen of his work. That said would you consider offering "binaries" for linux as an alternative ? Thanks for the added infos about nix, it make sense.

I have sold the sourcecode with linux support. Tried it with my decred modded kernels. My kernels where 10-15% faster as usual, but after I sold the sourcecode the opensource got much bether just a few days later. Blake constmem precalc trick.

I am happy with "ccminer all alexis algos optimized". I do this for fun and not for profit.

To bad djm34 has quit. He is a legend. And a good teacher

Yuh and if you read the thread you'd realize that he talks about stuff and then doesn't do it. He's talked about Lbry #5 since Lbry first came out. It wasn't a big speed increase either... You'd know that if you did some searching.

The same thing goes for Cryptonote. He often times makes projects and doesn't finish them or doesn't follow up with them, especially when the market takes a dive. Lbry was booming for a bit for instance and is now back down with all the other algos. A couple percent wont help that.

Decred hasn't changed since the big Decred launch. It's weird how you mention that you searched all this stuff, yet acted like you had no idea. If he hasn't talked about it, it hasn't changed. Decred mining has been in the shitter since it got dual mined by Claymore up until recently when I pointed it out. Of course there was no effort being put into a miner.

SP rarely makes versions for nix, he's mentioned that and we've talked about that numerous times over this thread. That issue in particular has come up of and on over the last few years. There is no way you searched the thread and didn't find any information on that.

Ignorance is bliss bro.
