Updated ccMiner 1.7.1-dev fork by tpruvot from Git for Windows

3, Jan 2016

ccminer-1-7-1-tpruvot

New year and a new update in the form of a freshly compiled Windows binary from the latest ccminer 1.7.1-dev (source). The latest updates include some small bug fixes as well as the addition of the GPU mining support for the sib algorithm (X11 + Russian Streebog-512/GOST). The tpruvot fork of ccMiner is compatible with older Nvidia GPUs, so this is the version to go for if you have older video card that you want to try mining cryptocurrencies with. This Windows binary is compiled with VS2013 and CUDA 6.5 and supports Compute 2.1, 3.0, 5.0 and 5.2 GPUs, however have in mind that not all of the supported algorithms may work on older Compute 2.1/3.0 GPUs, but you can at least try with it.

Updated cpuminer-multi 1.2-dev Windows Binary With New Algorithms

2, Jan 2016

cpuminer-multi-latest

We have not released binary updates of the cpuminer-multi CPU miner fork from tpruvot with multiple algorithms support (source), so here is an up to date version compiled for Windows. This is the most functional fork of cpuminer that comes with support for the largest number of algorithms and a lot of optimizations for them to get the most performance out of your CPU. Do note however that some dedicated forks of cpuminer for a specific algorithm may still provide better performance, but if you want flexible solution with many algorithms supported then cpuminer-multi is the choice. We have compiled an up to date Windows binary from the latest source that comes with some fixes and improvements for various algorithms as well as support for some new algorithms such as bastion, scrypt-jane, sib and yescrypt. If you have some spare CPU power that you want to use for mining then this is the miner you’ll need, do note that we have compiled our Windows binary with Visual Studio 2013 and for 64-bit Windows.

Updated Windows Binary of the ccMiner 1.5.77-git Fork by SP for Maxwell

22, Dec 2015

ccminer-1-5-77-spmod

Another update in the form of a Windows binary compiled from the latest Git source code of the ccMiner 1.5.77-git SP-MOD fork by SP optimized for the latest Maxwell-based video cards (source). The new release comes with a lot of optimizations in the performance of the Lyra2REv2 algorithm under CUDA 7.5, the last CUDA 6.5 compiled release was version 74. There is also some improvement in Neoscrypt hashrate, but it is still slower on the CUDA 7.5 releases, as well as some other minor improvements in other algorithms. Do note that the SP-MOD fork of ccMiner is designed for Nvidia Maxwell GPUs such as the already available GTX 750, 750 Ti as well as the newer GTX 960, GTX 970, GTX 980 and GTX 980 Ti and GTX Titan X. The Windows binary release we have made available here is with support for Compute 5.0 and Compute 5.2 GPUs or with other words only for Maxwell-based Nvidia video cards compiled with CUDA 7.5 and VS2013.
