Bumping and hoping for any news, any real input appreciated. Thx all.
nothing new to report, lux devs have been busy to get the chain back on track...

it's more than simply an algorithm change, the blockheader has also jumped from 80 bytes to 144 with the addition of two fields.. thats a big cubehash512
The other half of this--Phi2 isn't Phi1612. If someone gets one working, tunes, analyzes, and has the data to say "ain't gonna happen"...that's different, that's acceptable. At that point there's no choice but to move on.
phi algo is so tight on nvidias, there is no needs to do an phi amd miner. Like neo miner. It exist, but not many people use this
So far all I have to go on is whattomine estimates. Does two rigs of 1070s produce more than same number of 580s? According to 1612 #s yes, comes out to about 165 vs 200.
So if you're in it for efficiency then sure, AMD not a viable option. But realize some are playing the gamble in hopes it increases in the future. If someone can still cover costs, even make a miniscule profit, but achieve the goal of banking some coin cheaper than buying...then it's worth it to them based on their strategy. Looking at the future potential of what is mined, not the current going rate.
That said--i can't buy the "there's no need" line. There's hash to give and Dev fee to be had if someone produces something, that's the bottom line.

sorry, wrong discussion
I think you should ask the AMD Lyra2z miner tdxminer devs, because lyra2 2nd kernel takes 75%+ GPU time on PHI2 algo so again it should be faster on AMD vs Nvidia.
Anyone working on, or have plans to work on, a Phi2 miner for AMD gpus? There is a version of ccminer and cryptodredge for NVidia and there are supposedly attempts to get SGMiner working but no timeline. Anyone else aware of anything in the works?
