We have compiled ccMiner 1.7.4 tpruvot’s fork Windows binary in a version with the optimal settings for mining Vanillacoin (VNL) on more recent Nvidia-based GPUs as suggested by Alexis Provos and with his performance optimizations as implemented by tpruvot in the latest code. This Windows binary is a 32-bit one compiled with CUDa 6.5 and only with Compute 3.5 support as apparently this provides the optimal performance at least on Maxwell-based Nvidia GPUs (Faster than using Compute 5.2 on them). Below you can also see a comparison that we did with Nvidia GeForce GTX 970 from Gigabyte (WF3OC) and a reference design Gigabyte GTX 980 Ti to see the difference in performance with the regular version when using CUDA 7.5 and Compute 5.2 and with the optimized CUDA 6.5 and Compute 3.5 version available for download below. Do note that although this binary will work with other algorithms as well as the Blake 256 8-rounds used by VanillaCoin it may not provide the optimal performance for other algorithms as it is targeted to provide the best VNL mining hashrate.
This is interesting thanks for the tip. Never thought compute 3.5 could be bether. My kernal is tuned for compute 5.0 and cuda 7.5 32bit. I will be surpriced if it goes faster With compute 3.5, but Worth a try. But there is a difference between vanillacoin and decred...
(The article write 7% more hash with 12% more power. with compute 3.5)
(The decred sp-mod private #1 has 10-15% more hash with 0% more power)

i had already mentioned this above requisite to you when testing ... did you not see what i wrote? ...
cuda 6.5 compute 3.5 - which is the optimum hashrate that particular miner gets under those compilation parameters ...
but most have an environment of cuda 7.5 and compile with compute 5.2 with your fork anyway - and my environment is the same ... so i cant use anything that does not have any real gain from cuda 7.5 compute 5.2 ...
this is why the version you will bring out - that DOES compile and increase hashrate in cuda 7.5 compute 5.2 - will be the one that is worth the effort to compile ...
im still interested in the optimizations done in that environment - NOT - in cuda 6.5 compute 3.5 ... no way am i reverting back to that ...
so if you can still bring out optimizations with the latest 'stuff' - ill still be interested ...

So this is some ass backwards post to convince him to use some other version of compute that fits your needs? I mentioned it because cryptominingblog did testing on it. It's a special case. Nothing to do with you unless you mentioned this exact same thing somewhere else.
Seriously bro... Who cares what you're interested in and why should we?
do eveyone a favour bensam ( including your wife and kids ) and die in a corner somewhere ...
sp KNOWS what im talking about - its got nothing to do with YOU ...
'seriously bro' - im not interested in your musings nor the attacks that you continuously regurgitate on a consistent level ... damn! ...
you are so lucky you LIVE behind a profile - and not in my face right this minute - or you would have a piece of mind the australian way ... you are just bloody pathetic ...
there are things that get done outside of the public eye - and you of all people should know that ... always complaining and crying about private this and farm that ...
who the hell do you think 'one' of those people who were testing these optimizations were - LONG before they hit the critics? ...
twat! ...

You're talking about SP not compiling for nix and not using the version you want?
Eat a dick dude. Violence is the easy way to settle problems because it requires a small mind, small intellect, and little to no resolve.
You just said that '3.2 isn't what he should use'. Have you tested 3.2 with Decred or Vanilla? This is particular specifically to blake and Cryptominingblog did testing on this. It's not what's better overall. This is a very specific scenario. Has nothing to do with you or what you've told Sp is always the best version, but you didn't read my post and tried to take credit for something you had nothing to do with.
I don't even know if it'll work with Decred, but I mentioned it because it works with Vanillacoin as per CMB's blog entry.
I have sendt decred sp-mod #2 to the donators. This is forked from 1.7.4 and contains some bugfixes and a new kernal. I get 10-15% higher rates on the pool with this version compared to release #1.
Happy mining
Confirmed getting the correct speeds on pools now give or take -5%ish.
