Some days ago I tested a combined mining of Ether and BSTY on my i5, Win7 x64, Nvidia GTX970 computer.
First I started genoil 1.0.8 for mining Ether and then in a 2nd instance minderd version 2.4 incl. the yescrypt.
Both worked nicely alongside without a problem! This could give GlobalBoost-Y perhaps a real boooost!
I already mentioned it in the forum of the related Ether mining pool I´m in and from the increased pools overal
BSTY hashrate I could see that a couple of people are already trying it.
Another test on a mining rig with an AMD 64 X2 6000+ or alternative LE-1200(its a low energy cosuming Semprom)
and two R9 380 Nitros minder 2.4. unfortunately failed, probably the same problem other miners have reported here,
earlier.
Perhaps the new minerd version 2.4.4 may help here. The forums says about the new minerd:
Some Technical Details
The current release (2.4.4) includes four different implementations of the scrypt core, each one designed for a different hardware.
A fallback plain x86 version, to be used when SSE2 instructions are not available (Pentium III, Athlon XP and earlier processors).
A 32-bit version using SSE2, for use on the Pentium 4, Pentium M, Core, Atom, plus all 64-bit cpus running in a 32-bit OS.
A 64-bit version for Intel processors, i.e. Core 2, i3, i5, i7. This version can in most cases double the speed of the previous miner.
A 64-bit version for AMD processors, i.e. Athlon 64, Phenom, Sempron and the like. The speed increase here can range from 5% to 80%.
The first two versions only get compiled in the 32-bit miner, the last two only in the 64-bit miner. The miner uses the CPUID instruction to choose which version to use.
So I´d be happy if someone (who knows how to do it) from this forum could compilate the BSTY yescrypt into the new minerd 2.4.4 and post it.
Thank you in advance!
