Oh, so now you have customers, not back alley trades?

Unfortunately this is the sorry state of what GPU mining has devolved into. Instead of knowing what the next latest and greatest ASIC is that you'll have to sell your current ones for, you don't know exactly who is designing private kernels in the background and trading them. This is exactly the reason I didn't get into ASICs in the first place, only much worse.

This should change once this gains more light, but he's been profiting off this for the last three or so months (and now apparently even is gloating about it). You even have the audacity to bitch and moan about a lack of donations while doing this. I'm sure you all remember when the difficulty spiked and had nothing to do with BTC prices back in Oct/Aug?

I really should make a new thread for this so you're flogged publicly.
You should get the fuck out of that forum and find yourself a hobby...   Grin

Amen to that Cheesy

Well, W0lf started selling these kernels when he realized nobody was donating for his work. I would have done the same unless I had a huge farm. I don't see why it would be prohibited to get payed for having the skillset needed. And for what its worth, he released his own bins when they where leaked by somebody else.

Honestly, I don't know why you are upset, there will always be kernel developers out there with a faster kernel, just like there will be better workers than you for the job you are applying, you just have to be first. LOL please don't be offended by this but it is how the world works Cheesy

By the way, I encourage everyone to use those leaked kernels

Funny you only mention them when someone else brings them up and then you quickly try to cover them up once things die down. BS public relations as per usual.

You don't. If you have AMD GPUs you can't compete unless you buy a private kernel from Wolf0 for a couple thousand.

The reason the numbers look so sickly is he's already sold his private kernel to big miners and there is no way you can compete with a public kernel. Get out of GPU mining while you can. It's ASICs all over again only with private kernels and one person raking in all the money. Unfortunately nothing is ASIC-Wolf0 resistant either as he'll develop anything for OCL unless the public implementation is sound (we're talking scrypt levels) and there is no room for improvement.

This miner: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=616786.700 uses a older leaked version of his kernel, which is still much faster then normal public kernel. That's your best bet and improves hashrate over the typically available SGMiner by 50%. It has a 2% fee, but that's the price you pay. If you scrounge around a bit you can find where his kernel was leaked and use that. His newer ones are still about 10% faster then that, but that's much better then nothing.

I'd highly encourage anyone who's mining using x11 to get it, it improves your odds and also fucks him over as a added benefit. I don't think anyone realizes how detrimental he's been to the community the past few months until this starts getting more light.

Hello fellas,

I know this is a general question.

But where is it at the moment the best to time?
I've been running von Nicehash lately.

Are there any alternatives or anything comparable?

Unfortunately all the scams that have been launched have destroyed the "Coin-Launch-Races" that were so much fun in the past.

I'm running 6x R9 280x and 3x R9 290.


Nah, probably selling the GPU is the best solution right now, don't forget they can be used for gaming too.

No, it's an alt coin question.  You would do better posting in the alt coin forum.
