Updated Windows Binary of the ccMiner 1.5.24-git Fork by SP for Maxwell

4, Jan 2015

ccminer-1-5-24-git-sp-mod

During the holidays we were not very active in mining, but it seems that the miner software developers have spent some time working on their code, so here is a new windows binary compiled from the latest code of the ccMiner 1.5.24-git SP-MOD fork of the Nvidia GPU miner optimized for Maxwell GPUs by SP (source). This version includes quite a lot of fixes as well as some minor performance improvements and fixes in the latest code since the last binary we have compiled some days ago, so you might want to update to get a bit faster and more stable 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 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.

Updated Windows Binary of the ccMiner 1.5.2-git Fork by SP for Maxwell

ccminer-1-5-2-git-spmod

Here is a new windows binary compiled from the latest code of the ccMiner 1.5.2-git SP-MOD fork of the Nvidia GPU miner optimized for Maxwell GPUs by SP (source). There are some additional performance improvements and fixes in the latest code since the last binary we have compiled a few days ago, so you might want to update to get a bit faster and more stable 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, though it might unction also on older GPUs. The windows binary release we have available here is compiled with support for Compute 5.0 and Compute 5.2 GPUs or with other words only for Maxwell-based cards.

Miner Control 1.6 Pack for Nvidia GeForce GTX 750 Ti

16, Dec 2014

minercontrol-1-6-0-lyra2re

A new version of the Miner Control tool has been released that introduces support for user defined algorithms that allows for the easy addition of newly released crypto coins as long as they are introduced in a supported pool. We have updated our Nvidia GeForce GTX 750 Ti pack using the tool along with an up to date ccMiner fork 1.5.1-git windows binary from tpruvot. The configuration that we have prepared also includes support for the new Lyra2RE algorithm used by VertCoin (VTC) on top of the previously available algorithms.

You can download the package below with settings already set for non-overclocked GTX 750 Ti, if you are going to be using it on multiple card mining rigs you need to multiply the hashrate for the algorithms supported. The package will also function just fine on GTX 970 and GTX 980 cards where you would need to multiply the power usage and hashrate numbers by roughly 3 times to get the correct calculations working. Of course the best thing would be to set the right values for hashrate and power usage in the config file that the mining rig you have will produce. The GTX 750 Ti package is configured to work NiceHash, TradeMyBit, Yaamp and Wafflepool, supporting only the more profitable X11, X13, X15, NIST5 and Lyra2RE algorithms.

To be ready to use it you just need to update the account settings for each pool to reflect your BTC payment address and only for TradeMyBit you would need to set your account worker username and your API key for the update on the current prices. Do note that the default configuration that we have left is set to mine from time to time for the author of the software (Miner Control) as a donation alternative, but you can change that setting should you wish to.
