Here is a new windows binary compiled from the latest code of the ccMiner 1.5.1-git SP-MOD fork of the Nvidia GPU miner optimized for Maxwell GPUs by SP (source). The latest version includes the new features and updates from tpruvot’s 1.5.1 fork of ccMiner including the new Lyra2RE algorithm support from djm34 for mining VertCoin (VTC). 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.

We have compiled a new windows binary from the latest ccMiner 1.5.1-git by tpruvot (source) that comes with support for the Lyra2RE algorithm – the algorithm that VertCoin (VTC) is going to be forking to. There is an official ccMiner fork with support for Lyra2RE available, but it seems that tpruvot’s fork is slightly better in terms of performance. We are getting about 1180 KHS with a GTX 980 GPU running at stock frequencies and around 1140 KHS with the official Lyra2RE ccMiner on the same hardware. Do note that this is not an official 1.5.1 release from tpruvot, we have just compiled a binary form the latest source in order to be able to test Lyra2RE mining performance on the available test pool. Our windows binary is compiled with VS2013 and supports Compute 3.0, 3.5, 5.0 and 5.2 GPUs, you can download and try it below, there is an example BAT file setup for testing hashrate at the Hashlink’s test VTC pool with Lyra2RE support.

If you are getting ready for the upcoming VertCoin (VTC) fork from Scrypt-N to Lyra2RE algorithm that is planned to happen in about 10 days, then you might want to update your wallet. Since this is a hardfork you will need to upgrade your wallet to the new release 0.9.0.0 and also to be able to continue mining VTC you will have to get the new miners with Lyra2RE support. The good news is that we already have miners for both AMD and Nvidia GPUs available, even though they are early release candidates you cna try them out locally on testnet before the actual fork happens and pools will switch to Lyra2RE mining for VertCoin around 16th this month at block 208301. Below you can find links for the source code of the miners along with official windows binary releases available on GitHub, tpruvot has also added support for Lyra2RE to his ccMiner fork and we are probably going to be seeing more forks with Lyra2RE support getting added soon.
