New Windows Binary of sgminer 5.1.0 Master Branch
17, Jan 2015
We have not compiled a windows binary from the latest sgminer (source) for a while and meantime it has been updated to version 5.1.0 including some small fixes. We have compiled a windows binary form the latest source code available in the master branch and you can download it from the link below. If you were using an older binary compiled from a development source then you might want to update it to this one that is based on the latest stable source. Don’t expect to get some serious performance increases from this version, unless of course you are still using a very old development release. If you are using an older release of the development version of sgminer for mining FeatherCoin (FTC) or another NeoScrypt-based crypto coin you might want to make sure you have the latest version and update.

Time for a new windows binary compiled from the latest code of the ccMiner 1.5.29-git SP-MOD fork of the Nvidia GPU miner optimized for Maxwell GPUs by SP (source) as apparently SP has been quite active lately. This version includes some fixes as well as quite a few performance improvements in various algorithms in the latest code since the last binary we have compiled a few days ago, so you might want to update to get a faster mining performance. The version from SP is designed for running on Nvidia Maxwell GPUs such as GTX 750 and 750 Ti as well as the newer GTX 970 and 980 and it also includes some additional performance optimizations. The windows binary release we have made available here is compiled with support for Compute 5.0 and Compute 5.2 GPUs or with other words only for Maxwell-based cards with CUDA 6.5 and VS2013.

It seems that djm34, has been working on adding NeoScrypt algorithm support to ccMiner and he apparently already has a well performing work in progress fork of ccMiner. The Nvidia GPUs ccMiner fork with NeoScrypt support however is going to be made public if there is enough user interest and the crowdfunding reaches the total sum of 5 BTC in the form of donations going to the author. If the crowdfunding goal is not reached the miner might be made available only to the people that have donated. Also further improvements in the hashrate are probably possible, so the miner might get even faster over time.
Current speed of the miner:
GTX 750ti: 127 KHS
GTX 780ti: 212 KHS
GTX 980: 427 KHS
Donation will have to be made to that BTC address: 18UZRrybgjmR4M53Aca4Q8YBguqErZ5qaP
If you are interested in mining NeoScrypt-based crypto coins and this goes not only for Feathercoin (FTC), but a few more NeoScrypt altcoins and are using Nvidia GPU mining rigs you are more than welcome to support the project.
