Updated Miner Control Tool Packages for AMD and Nvidia

25, May 2015

miner-control-tool-latest

We have updated our complete packages based on the Miner Control tool for Nvidia GeForce GT 750 Ti and AMD Radon R9 280x GPUs with the latest changes taking place lately. The latest versions you can download from the links below include the updated stratum servers of NiceHash and WestHash that are already in operation, and while the old ones still work they will stop resolving next month. We have also removed the YAAMP pool support as it has apparently been taken down permanently this time after a recent hack, if it becomes available back online at a later time we may add back the support. The latest updates also include the most recent versions of SP-MOD’s ccMiner for Nvidia Maxwell as well as the new sgminer fork with increased performance for Quark and Qubit with pre-compiled Binary Kernels for 280X. WhirlpoolX support has been removed as currently there are no altcoins utilizing this algorithm available for mining, if we get some new coins that are profitable to mine we are going to bring it back again.

To be ready to use the packages you just need to update the account settings for each pool to reflect your BTC payment address. Do note that the default configuration that we have set is mining 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. The packages are ready to be used with either AMD Radeon R9 280X or Nvidia Geforce GTX 750 Ti cards, but you can also us the Nvidia package for other GPUs or more cards – what you may need to reflect however in the config file is the total hashrate and power usage. Since the AMD packages contains not only specific settings for AMD Radeon R9 280X, but also pre-compiled binary kernels specifically for that particular card if using it with other GPUs you will actually be getting lower hashrate, though n problem to use it with multiple 280X cards.

Updated ccMiner 1.6.3-git fork by tpruvot with NeoScrypt Support

4, May 2015

ccminer-1-6-3-git-tpruvot

We have compiled an up to date Windows binary from the latest ccMiner 1.6.3-git by tpruvot (source). The latest version adds support for the NeoScrypt algorithm based on djm34’s work who recently added NeoScrypt support to his fork with minimum requirement for Compute 3.5 capabilities from your Nvidia GPU. With this version of ccMiner we are getting around 146 KHS hashrate mining NeoScrypt on a GeForce GTX 750 Ti GPU which is about the same performance we are getting on the same hardware using djm34’s fork which is to be expected. Our windows binary is compiled with VS2013 and supports Compute 3.5, 5.0 and 5.2 GPUs, you can download and try it below, there is an example BAT file setup for testing.

New ccMiner fork by Djm34 with NeoScrypt and Yescrypt Support

2, May 2015

ccminer-djm-edition-yescrypt

We have compiled a Windows binary for the new ccMiner fork by djm34 (source) that now has support for NeoScrypt and Yescrypt GPU mining on Nvidia-based video. Our Windows binary is compiled with VS2013 and CUDA 6.5 and supports Compute 3.5, 5.0 and 5.2 GPUs, you can download and try it from the link below, there is an example BAT file setup for testing hashrate for the two new algorithms. We are getting more than 1100 Hashes per second on GeForce GTX 980, so better than the performance from a Radeon 280X with the sgminer fork. On a GeForce GTX 750 Ti we are getting very good performance as well with close to 600 Hashes per second or slightly less than on Radeon 280X. Do note that there is still more to be desired from the GPU miner as it is not faster than mining Yescrypt with an up to date CPU, for example a single Intel Core i7 5820K CPU achieves around 5.1 KHS mining GlobalBoost-Y (BSTY).
