This is cool. I do think there needs to be a better exchange than C-CEX, but you have to start somewhere.
I just hacked a bootable Ubuntu USB stick to run the latest git code. I rebooted my son's gaming machine into it, and it's mining at 2,400 h/s on his Ivy Bridge Core i5 CPU running at 3.2GHz using 4 threads. Under Windows, it was only mining 450 h/s. It makes him happy to think he might make $3.50 to $7 at any time (I'm telling him each BSTY is worth $0.01 or $0.02). He's not letting me turn it off. I have his MineCraft server hashing at 3,000 h/s as well.
One cool thing about GobalBoost-Y is that it helps justify buying a more powerful CPU. I did a bit of BitCoin mining to pay for my son's gaming machine. ASICs ruined that. I feel I may have helped Solar Designer, if only slightly, in making Yescrypt more ASIC resistant. It's really good stuff, with nowhere near the potential for ASIC speedup as BitCoin. Solar Designer baked in a lot of GPU defense as well.
If other people out there want to run with well optimized code from a bootable USB drive, and assuming your CPU has SSE2 support or better, you can use my GlobalBoost build for the 64-bit version of Ubuntu 14.04. Here's a link to the Ubuntu 14.04 x64 executable I'm using:

If anyone bothers to try and install it on a thumb drive, be sure to reserve some memory (I reserved 1GB) or so of flash for updates to the OS. You have to install these packages, after doing an apt-get update:
libdb5.3++
libboost-filesystem1.54.0
libboost-program-options1.54.0
libboost-thread1.54.0
I made my bootable USB stick using Ubunty's USB Creator. I'm not sure how to do it in Windows... If I forgot a package dependency, you ran run 'ldd GlobalBoost-Y' to see it's dependencies. You can then run 'dpkg -S ' to find out what package you need to install. Don't try doing this in any other version of Ubuntu than 14.04 x64, unless you really want to deal with dependency spaghetti!

Now I'm on Ubunto 14.04.01LTS, I downloaded your file and can't run it ... Can you explain it more deep?
Edit: I installed all packages you suggested and the one question "How to run your GlobalBoost-Y file?" They said "There is no application installed for 'execuable' files."
sorry, I'm new on Ubuntu
Edit 2: I got it the solution is ..
Right click on GlobalBoost-Y, click on Properties, choose the tab Permissions. Check the small square Allow executing file as program.
