It Is All About BTC, LTC, ETH, DOGE, KAS mining as well as other alternative crypto currencies
The support for older Nvidia-based GPUs using Compute 2/2.1 architecture (Fermi) has been dropped in the more recent versions of ccMiner in order to focus and improve performance on the newer Compute 3 and 3.5 (Kepler) as well as 5 (Maxwell) GPUs. It seems however there are still quite a few people that are using Fermi-based Nvidia graphic cards to mine crypto coins with, so this is something they may find useful. There is a fork of ccMiner compiled with support for Compute 2.0/2.1 (Fermi) GPUs as well as the newer Compute 3.x+ cards. To ensure support for Compute 2.x however the support for Jackpotcoin, Quark and Animecoin is not available as the code for these in ccMiner apparently requires at least Compute 3.0 support. This fork however adds Diamondcoin support that is not available in the original ccMiner release.

Doesn’t work for me on 570GTX. It unrealistic high hash values and never gets accepted. The zip also includes 30 35 and 50. I don’t see a 20 exe there.

Same for me, no worky and no mention of support for 2.0 in any of the docs.

tried setting up on darksuchpool.pw with my gtx480 because i wanted to test and see if i was capable of mining darkcoins. Cant get it to work :( and also i dont see the ccminer20 or 21 exe in the zip. I tried to write batfile (im using windows7 64) i used ccminer.exead also all other variants ccminer30/35/50 but hence gtx480 is computing 2.0 it doesnt work. When i try to start the miner first of all i get a message msvcp110.dll is missing, but when i start miner as adminisrator a dosscreen appears and dissapears at the same moment.
my batfile looks like this… im doing something wrong? for my r9 290x card i have similar batfile but using different miner and that one works around 3mh/s

The download link for this isn’t the right version.
Go to the GitHub link, https://github.com/KBomba/ccminer-KBomba/releases, and download the latest version. This includes an executable for compute 2.x.

From what I can tell, CCminer21 is what we are looking for. I have a gtx 570 I have been mining JPC and DIME with no problem.

Hey guys,
Just saw my release on here, and all of your issues. Seems like the .zip on here didn’t include the ccminer21.exe, which should work on compute2.0 devices too. They have included it now ;-)
I will keep it updated with any compatible commit of the official ccminer. You can stay updated here: https://github.com/KBomba/ccminer-KBomba/releases , as said before (thx Jason!)
@Kintaro: Ccminer doesn’t have failover support. So that won’t work. I’m still hoping he will implement it soon.

My GTX580 does ~1900 khash/s with the 21 exe, close to all shares accepted at 94-95% GPU usage with no additional modifiers.

ccminer21 doesn’t seem to work with Darkcoin on darkcoin.miningpoolhub.com. Getting insane 100,000 khash/s, but doesn’t show up as an active worker on the pool and 0 accepted. Ideas? Thanks!

Same here, running ccminer1.0
“ccminer21.exe –algo=x11 -o statum+tcp://drkpool.com:3333 -u dark_x -p x”
I’m getting 2330198017 hashes. 118344 khash/s and so on, it’s taking 1-5 minutes to finish each line though
But no stats show up at all, I tried ghash.io and darkpool
I’m using a GeForce 8800GTS (cuda 1.1) Win 7×65 clean install, latest nvidia drivers and cuda drivers

johny, your video card is too old and does not support Compute 2.0 or later, so it is not supported.

I figured that was the issue, thanks for the help!

I am trying to use this on linux but all of your releases seem to be for windows. How can I compile this with the promised 2.X support?

There is a link to the source, check the INSTALL file for instructions on compiling under Linux.

I have a GTX570 and downloaded the file that specifies support for Diamondcoin from the Github site. It has the ccminer21.exe but I don’t see the switch for diamondcoin and the standard dmd-gr doesn’t work. I’m trying to execute like this
ccminer21.exe –algo=dmd-gr -o 127.0.0.1:17772 -u iruleyou1.1 -p x
Thanks,
Anthony

Does NOT work on nicehash statrum connections or some algorithms under Windows 10 x64 with a Tesla m2050 or m2070 compute 2.0. Yes, I have tried it with CUDA 6.5, 8.0, and 9. Also tried without other GPUs of a higher compute level such as 3 and 5.0 (750ti).
The ancient versions all over the github or net are compiled for some single algos or just one specifically.
Probably the best solution would be Windows 7 x64 and just the Tesla 341.xx drivers?
How hard is it to get all the legacy versions documented and kept online the net in order?
Just trying to do equihash, neoscrypt, or nist 5 without having to compile it from some steaming heap of poor documented code with a version tick for the codebase to agree with the changelog.
FFS, even Quakeworld mods are documented better.
