So is anyone willing to work on a Nvidia ETH dual miner for commission? It doesn't need to be a ground up rebuild of ETH.
It's silly we're six months in from when Claymore released his and we still don't have one.
CLAYMORE IS WORKING ON ONE--
He has said in his thread that he "had an agreement" not to code an nVidia miner, but that it expired. When asked for an update last week, he said "1-or-2 weeks".
He just released version 5.3 of his AMD miner, it remains to be seen if the very latest AMD drivers for RX 460, 470, and 480 will work well with his miner. I do see on AMD's website that Ubuntu 14.04.4 now has a version of the drivers supporting the new line of cards. The site only claims compatibility with Ubuntu 16.04.1, though, and these are beta drivers. --scryptr
Appreciate the information. Obviously some huge farm paid him a LOT of money to specifically code it for AMD. How old is that post? 1-2 weeks out a couple days ago?
That aside, not sure why he would take time to code it. Besides the program not allowing it... Nvidia devices are OCL capable, so it really just needs to be 'flipped on' and allowed to work with Nvidia hardware, more or less.
BTW if you're into AMD hardware, 470s may be the brand new go to for Dagger mining. The 470 performs just about on par with the 480 for Dagger. The 460s have a smaller memory bus, so they might not be up to par... However it will be interesting to see what results they produce as well.
I FOLLOW CLAYMORE'S THREAD--
Within the last two weeks, he has been asked several times about an nVidia miner. I asked him, and he told me, about 3 days ago. If you ask him, he will likely answer you. He answers the silliest questions from one dot readers on up. He earns a lot with his fee, and gives responsible support to match.
I also have been reading about the 470 cards. Not bad performance for 150 Watts max. --scryptr
I asked off and on for a Nvidia miner for the first 2~ months or so after the dual miner was released and never got a response besides 'There is no Nvidia miner'. Good he had a change of heart, there really isn't any competition regardless of the amount of time it went without being fulfilled. I imagine Nvidia hardware performing quite well, especially pascal.
try --cpu-priority 3 (or 4), i seen something weird like that on pascal, else the speed was fast only when i focused the command line window.... another weird new issue unrelated to ccminer code
Well, else ive a SIA miner under work... it already works on suprnova and nanopool... waiting enough donations to release sources and finish it (aka implement the stratum protocol described on their forum), i just posted that on their forum... 970 1GH/s
Hopefully you meet your goals. SIA is sort of in a tough spot though, a 12% increase in performance brings it about up to par with mining Dagger, only without the advantages (such as multiple coins). If you can further improve it you'll probably generate more interest, but you'd need a extra 15-20% on top of what you've already done to make LBRY miners bat a eye.
That really depends on how long LBRY lasts for though. SIA is a much more robust coin, as are dagger coins.
STEEM is still a promising area if you're looking to get donations for a preview miner. I would definitely throw BTC at that.
