The Siamining mining pool for Siacoin (SC) we have written about recently has also added Stratum support. Their Stratum implementation however is a bit different from the one that Suprnova has introduced a few days ago for their mining pool and thus requires users to use a different version of sgminer. While the Suprnova Stratum implementation is more of a getwork over Stratum and based on our tests it does perform very well, Siamining is claiming that their solution in true a Stratum support, so in theory it should result in slightly better efficiency. Of course the Siamining mining pool does still support the regular Siacoin Go pool miner that also produces very low percentage of stale shares, though with Stratum support the results should be even better now.

Below you can download a 32-bit Windows binary of the sgminer 5.4.0 fork for Siamining with Stratum support (source). Do note that this miner will currently only work with the Stratum Mining Protocol for Sia implemented by Siamining. The miner works on both AMD and Nvidia GPUs, so you should be covered regardless of the GPUs you have available, though it uses OpenCL for both. Our initial tests are showing really good results in terms of efficiency and lack of stale shares, so it seems that things are already working pretty well with this Stratum implementation for Siacoin (SC) pool mining at Siamining. As a result now you have even more alternatives for pool mining Siacoin to try and choose from…
