Holy crap. I wish I took bitcoin seriously back then. 
Please, just stop. Stop beating the damn decomposed carcass... It's dead alright!
Did you keep all them Coins? 
if only we knew then how much BTC would be worth, i doubt anyone would have spent there coins

Some people might look at the thread title and think "what is an altcoin miner doing on this subforum"! But it is just a blast from the past... 6 years later, just for kicks, I put the source on github as a historical artifact: https://github.com/mbevand/hdminer
Perhaps Syke is taking cgminer's best 5s peak averages instead of the all-time average? Perhaps not and he is right. I don't care enough to argue about 2.4% to send him a free copy of my miner... *shrugs*
Independant? What makes you think the hash-rate increases/decreases based on whether the person sitting in front of the computer is biased or not?
Because the hash-rate is dependent on many variables including OS, SDK version, Driver version, and numerous miner versions and settings. I get about 2% higher performance with phatk than he is claiming, so something isn't quite right.mrb, clear things up for our friend Syke over here, will 'ya?

I benchmarked cgminer w/phatk at 691 Mh/s on a stock 6990, compared to my 708 Mh/s.
You clearly don't know how to run and optimize other miners. I get 704 on stock 6990s using Phoenix/Phatk. If you'd like to send me a copy of your miner I'll post an independant performance comparison.It is not free. I still charge for hdminer. And I am still faster than today's best on HD 69xx.

I will eventually open source hdminer, but not until I test a few more optimization ideas. The high price tag is mostly because I can't afford to have its source code leaked today. On your 6950, in its current shape, you can expect a speed +2.4% faster than cgminer/phatk.

However my speed advantage is now so thin, that I doubt anyone is interested in spending 250 BTC on hdminer... The rich feature set of cgminer probably outweighs any performance advantage I have anyway.

So you're the guy who thinks it's smart to charge for things? Even though the 'speed boost' is so thin that it should either be free or expect a backlash like being pressured and forced to pay for a TV licence in the UK.I for one will refuse to pay until it is freely accessible like the TV licence.I don't watch TV yet I'm forced and threatened to buy one.
I don't mind being charged about 5BTC but 250BTC is taking the mick.If you want my respect,you'll rectify the pricing or give it for free if you can't find a reasonable price people are willing to pay. That's my 2 cents :-)
How well will this perform on my HD6950 card (shader unlocked,Oc'd to 902MHz,320MHz mem clock,overvolted by an extra 0.005mV)?I get 402MHash/s atm.I want to know what kind of speeds I can get with your app.

Since theres not much of an advantage over phatk anymore, why not open source it and allow others to have a try at optimizing it even further? I'd love to try it just to get rid of the 100% cpu bug.

Where can I download this miner? As I wish to boost my performance as well on my HD6950 card.is this free? If not what's the charge? Why charge for this app?I'm sure that someone with the know how can probably replicate this app and then it'll be pointless to charge for this if successfull.Here's an idea,can someone with the know how, create a free version of this app with similar performance characteristics please?
Thank you
Thank you
Last and final bump... Using the latest kernel at http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=25860.0 at stock 6990 settings I get 352 mhps vs hdminer's 354. Hdminer is obsolete. End of thread.
Have you used the modified phatk kernel yet. Some have been showing it to have a 2%-3% increase. I rather suspect that eliminates the differences between this client and phoenix. mrb even acknowledged that the recent change was one that hdminer already had. Which since, like you I suspect that the difference is closer to 2% rather than 6% makes hdminer obsolete.
I get better hash rates with the poclbm kernel on the 6990. I tested a few of the optimizations people were trying out recently but those made no difference or made things worse. On the 5970, the modified phatk is much better.
However with the recent Ma changes and some other tweaks, I get better rates than the ones shown for hdminer. At 915, I get 817.6 compared to hdminer's 802. At 960, I get 857.8 compared to hdminer's 840. It doesn't necessarily mean that hdminer is slower since I don't have hdminer to try out but it does show that you can get better numbers than the published hdminer ones and anyone thinking of getting it should think twice about doing so. Perhaps there'd be another 2-3% increase if the tricks hdminer uses were used as well, as the Ma one was only about half of the 6% difference.
Upgrading to Catalyst 11.5 did increase hash rates a bit over 11.4. 11.7 is supposed to be even faster but it's still beta and I heard it was buggy.
From comparing the speeds I'm getting to hdminer, the miner isn't 6+% faster, it's only 1.2-2% faster. I'm using Catalyst 11.4 without downgrading and underclocking the memory so the difference could be even less than that (11.5 is supposed to give it a few Mh boost and not underclocking it would increase hashing rates by 0.5-1.5Mh/s).

The price your asking is fucking rediculos. 40more mh/sec per 6990 for Two Hundred and Fifty bitcoins?
Thats Fucking Rediculos
250btc@16=$4000
