One more update from sp on his open source and free fork of supminer (ccminer) now called X16r/X16s/C11 Spmod-git #9 (source) as it is no longer only for X16 algorithms. As the change in the name implies the the latest update adds faster C11 algorithm support and the optimizations to it should make it up to 33% faster than before, making the performance on par with the other fastest C11 miners such as T-Rex 0.6.1 and z-enemy 1.17. There are not only C11 performance improvements however in the latest update, it also comes with performance optimizations for X16 and X16S (faster bmw, shavite-cubehash), so better hashrate for these as well. The biggest advantage of this miner is that it is open source and comes with no developer fee built-in, meaning that all the performance you get is available to you and then there is also the source code available as well to learn from, modify and use to compile yourself.

There is another zealot/enemy-1.17 (z-enemy) miner update from Dk and Enemy that adds even more performance improvements to the supported algorithms available. The new z-enemy 1.17 has a major hashrate boost of 5-10% for X16R & X16S, XDNA (HEX), x17, Bitcore (BTX), c11, Sonoa, Renesis and Aergo. Lower-end Nvidia video cards like the GTX 1050 and GTX 1060 should also see a few additional percents of improvement in performance as well. Also note that the latest miner no longer depends on memory, so it allows to run memory clock at +0 or -500 MHz without performance loss.

The latest 1.17 version is available for CUDA 9.1 and 9.2 for both 32-bit and 64-bit Windows versions as well as CUDA 9.0, CUDA 9.1 an CUDA 9.2 binaries for Linux (HiveOS, PiMP OS, EthOS & Ubuntu). Do note that for maximum performance it is recommended to have the latest drivers installed (ver. 398+). We remind you that z-enemy is a closed source miner available only as a binary release and it contains a 1% developer fee built-in to support further software development.

The T-Rex miner is slowly becoming a more popular solution for mining new coins thanks to the number of supported algorithms and the good performance and usability it offers. The latest version 0.6.1 adds two more new algorithms – Bitcore and Sonoa as well as some slight improvements to performance in all algorithms except Lyra2z. There is also added extra shares submit functionality to reduce the number of rejects on pool side (both resulting in increased poolside hashrate) along with a number of fixes and new features to further improve the software. If you are using it already to mine an algorithm that T-rex 0.6.1 supports you should give it a try. Our usual reminder that T-Rex is a closed source miner and that there is 1% development fee built-in and you need to have a recent video driver installed as the binaries for both Linux and Windows are compiled for CUDA 9.1/9.2.
