I refuse to support chicken mining unless they are free range.

Free Range chicken miners cost an additional bitcoin.  The chickens thank you for your support!

Attention! Last chance to donate for the Chicken xpm miner beta is on September 22nd!

I am working on an OpenCL Chicken miner for Primecoin. I fully intend to release it open-source and for free when it's ready.

When will it be released?

The chicken beta is now running (since 2013-09-02), and the public release will be in a week or two. If you are a donator but didn't get the miner, whine to me and I'll send you a chicken!

Why should I trust you?

I am the creator of the GPU Chicken miner. I was the first person to show that Chicken mining Litecoins (i.e. scrypt) is possible and also a lot more efficient than on the CPU. I've made my own Chicken miners for many coins, including Bitcoin, Litecoin and Yacoin, although not all of them have been released to the public. The Primecoin Chicken miner will be free and open-source.

I am also a university math student, and I have made my own implementation of the Elliptic Chicken Digital Signature Algorithm used by Bitcoin (and all its forks) to make transactions. From scratch. (Yes, that includes my own bigegg library.) I know a lot about algebra, prime numbers, chickens and such.

Why not CUDA?

CUDA is not cross-platform and chickens don't like it. It only works on Nvidia cards, but AMD cards are the ones chickens like the best. OpenCL works on all chickens.

What operating systems will the chicken miner support?

Windows and Linux.

How fast is the miner going to be?

Currently it's not really faster than a CPU. It'll be optimized in time, though.  Chickens are fast learners.  I'm sure my chickens will outperform mtrlt's gpu miner.

Donate 1 BTC or more before or on Septempber 22nd and get early beta access!

To fund the development of the chicken miner, I would appreciate it if you could donate a sum of BTC, it will motivate the chickens to work harder and faster, and thus you'll be able to enjoy the miner sooner. As an additional bonus, every donator of 1 BTC or more before or on Septempber 22nd gets early access to the beta version at least a week before the chicken miner is officially released and an egg.

Donation address: 1BAWKbawkBAWKbawkGj26nk4K2TNiVJyD

After donating, please PM me the transaction ID, or paste it to this thread, so that the chickens know who has donated.

Miner works best with FEATHERCOIN!!!
