CoinKing, a New Multipool to Try Out

15, Jun 2014

coinking-multipool

Today, checking out the PoolPicker multipool profitability monitoring service, that has received a complete makeover, we found out about a new interesting automatic profit based coin switching pool. It is called CoinKing and offers multipool capabilities for mining Scrypt, Scrypt-N, SHA256, X11 and X13 coins giving you a good chance to profit the most of your mining hardware, regardless if it is in the form of ASIC miners or GPUs. It caught our eye due to the fact that according to PoolPicker it is currently the most profitable multipool for Scrypt, X11 and SHA-256 coins and we have decided to check it out. Not that we are not happy from LTC Rabbit or ScryptGuild, however a multipool needs to constantly add new coins and have many profitable options available in order to maximize your profits as a miner…

The thing is that older pools do tend to keep for long coins that are no longer profitable to mine and do not add new profitable coins that often. That is why it is a good idea to be on the lookout for new services that might offer better profitability if you do not want to risk it mining new crypto coins that are currently launching. With so many new coins launched that turn out to be scams from developers that want to make some quick cash by pumping and dumping premined or IPOed coins it is no wonder that more people get back to multipools as a safer alternative for better profit than directly mining for a fixed coin. We’ll be doing a more detailed review of this multipool soon as we have just started testing and playing with it, but so far it looks very promising and profitable especially for owners of Scrypt or SHA256 ASIC miners.

What Version of ccMiner to Use for Your Nvidia GeForce GPU

8, Jun 2014

ccminer-compute-2-support

It seems that some people are having trouble figuring out which version of ccMiner they should you for mining on their Nvidia-based GPU. Below is a list of all of the Nvidia-based video cards and their Compute capabilities to help you figure it out depending on what video card you are using. Do note that the list does not include only the consumer Geforce series, but also Quadro and Tesla. You will find the cards that have at least Compute 2.0 capabilities as there is no way to currently make use of an older GPU than a one capable of supporting Compute 2.0 for mining with ccMiner. Furthermore you need to use a special build of ccMiner that comes with support for Compute 2.0 and 2.1 cards as the latest official builds only support Compute 3.0 or newer GPUs.
