CudaMiner for CryptoNite (XCN) Mining for Windows

14, Aug 2014

cryptonite-cudaminer

The CudaMiner for CryptoNite (XCN) source is available for a few days already, however we’ve had some trouble compiling it for Windows and now there is a compiled binary available. Djm34 has also released a windows binary of ccMiner with support for XCN, however the binary is compiled for newer cards only and requires CUDA 6.5 support (you may need to update the video drivers as well). The CudaMiner for CryptoNite is a bit limited in the umber of supported features, but works decently and should provide hashrate that goes close to 4 MHS on a GTX 750 Ti GPU. For the moment there is still no AMD-based GPU miner for XCN available.

Download cgminer 3.1.1 with ZeusMiner X6 Scrypt ASIC Support for Windows

cgminer-3-1-1-zeus-x6-windows

It seems that Zeus has updated their cgminer 3.1.1 fork with support for the ZeusMiner Scrypt ASICs with a version for the new X6 low power miners, though it should also be compatible with the previous miners as well. The miner is interesting, because in it there is a little something about the recommended frequencies, something that should be included with the ZeusMiner product information like a recommended frequency to reach the advertised hashrate. The official example bat file does have 230 set as frequency and the readme mentions 200 MHz as example, but it also includes the following line “All X6 low power miner must set the ltc-clk lower than 248”. It is up to you to find out what works best with your miner, but our experience with the new X6 miners shows that you should try what works best between 220 and 250 MHz. You can download the new cgminer windows binary from the link below and try it out on your hardware if you still haven’t.

Updated sph-sgminer Fork with Luffa512 Algorithm Support

sph-sgminer_luffa512

There is now a sph-sgminer fork with Luffa512 algorithm support available thanks to djm34 (source), the guy that just released ccMiner fork with Luffa512 support. We have compiled a windows binary from the latest source and have already tested it mining DoomCoin on an AMD Radeon R9 280X GPU to see what performance we are going to get – the result was about 143 MHS (faster than current performance on Nvidia GPUs). You can download and try the windows binary yourself from the link below. Do note that this version of sph-sgminer also supports most other new algorithms as well, so you an use it for mining not only DoomCoin. Also make sure to be using the latest 14.6/14.7 beta drivers from AMD in order to get the best performance and currently it seems that Nvidia GPU miners have some advantage in terms of performance for this algorithm.
