Only on Windows, Linux is ok.

What is weird though is other miners are working to solo mine in the wallet but current releases are not. Maybe from .60 to present.

I'm familiar enough with the constraints of pool and mining software to know why many of the presented approaches to developer funding/rewarding do not work. Will not post at length about this now as it would take more time than I'm willing to afford right now, but I'd like to pitch in something.

I do have one suggestion, admittedly of moderate return potential, but importantly, it should not be too costly to implement and would be worth trying out:
- Many people do not know or care to compile, and so will run whatever binaries are made available.
- Many of those that do know how to compile/code, would still uphold fee system, if the set fee is small enough and reasonable.
- Nicehash is by far the most popular service for set-and-forget mining with BTC payout.

So, how about coding a fee system, that only kicks in when mining at Nicehash/Westhash, and mines 1% or 2% of the time to a hardcoded BTC developer fund address?
The destination fund address could be:
- global and individual - if say, sp_ would hardcode his own address in his fork for example, regardless of the algorithm selected, or
- global and shared - if say, the miner would have a hardcoded address that is under the control of multiple developers, or some trusted fund manager, or some multi-sig scheme combination, again, regardless of the algorithm selected, or
- algo-based and individual - if say, for lyra6rev15, the miner would have a fee address for djm34 (responsible for most boosts of that algo), while if quark was selected instead, the fee address would be set for sp_ (responsible for most boosts of that algo).

I'd estimate that the potential returns from such a system are not really massive, but they could certainly add up to make something very much worthwhile for everyone. On the other hand, it should be simple enough to code and maintain, as it is a basic tie to Nicehash and uses plain BTC addresses for the funds routing/assignments.

This approach is still just based on good faith, and keeping the economical incentive mostly unchanged, so that it might be attractive for a good number of users. It also leaves room for private deals and private pools and what not, for any exceptional mining opportunities (new algorithms, solo mining, etc, etc).

I'll also drop a big thank you to tpruvot, which has consistently improved ccminer with new features and better usability. As he focus less on the specifics of squeezing every bit of performance from algo X or Y, he's not mentioned here as much, yet he is one of the most active coders that we have in this space.
I appreciate all developers and everyone's contributions. For a rather long time now, my single rig has been firmly pointed at a mining destination that adequately rewards 2 of the developers here for their work (you know who you are, and thank you both!)

Happy Mining!

Have you checked if you are getting the GPU clocks throttled due to high temperatures?
Higher intensity usually demands more of the GPUs, and if thermally constrained, performance can indeed get worse by raising intensity. Personally, I recommend high & fixed fan settings, to ensure lower temperatures and finding the clock sweet spot before throttling kicks in.

Sorry I omitted algo - I tested with quark only - mining vs nicehash
I'd say ~ 50kh/s less speed as indicated by ccminer

I love vga miner. 

I didn't remove it, not sure why it isn't working..

Yes, I merged some code from Trent Nelson at it seems to fuckup the colors and output.

I'm strangely getting a lot of per-thread hashrate reporting on the latest git.
it also doesn't seem to be disabled when I add the -q switch...

I have retry and im getting :
-i 24 = 33 125 kh/s
-i 22.9 = 33 350 kh/s even 33 442 kh/s atm

so getting better hashrate with this. Idk why but it works

RELEASE dot 63--

I reverted to release dot 62.  There is a typo (likely) that breaks the color display, and dot 63 is actually slightly slower for me.

--scryptr

 sp  could you please put the http protocol back in the source code. I can't wallet mine. And djm lyra2v2 is the same. thx    

There is no difference .63 and .62. Equally the rate of 10.7 Mh \ s Quark 6.1 Mh\s and Lira2. Who stopped .62 color picture is more like (green "yes").

Wich algos are you mining?

You should get faster rate in quark and lyra2v2

one of my rigs has 5 970s and a single core shitty sempron, still ccminer only uses some percent of cpu time :-)

on last .63 build my 750Ti has broken colors (have to run with --no-color) and I see no speedup compared to .61
All stock, only the CPu is relatively old&slow (E5200), but this was no issue so far

Without the sp-mod:

quark
2 X Gtx 970 = 21600  kh/s](-11500Kh/s)
Gtx 970 = 10 800 kh/s per card average
0,0086 btc/day atm

In 24-oct-2014 the gigabyte 970 was mining quark at around 10.8 MHASH

in sp-mod release 63 the same card is doing 16.7MHASH.

Small increases, becomes big when you add them up...

-i 22.9 is not the best setting for gtx 970. -i 22.9 is good on 2gb cards like 750ti and 960 (and the 1gb 750) uses around 800 MEG of gpu memory.

-i 24 is the default for quark on 970/980
