WhirlCoin is the first coin to use the new Whirlpool algorithm and while it was CPU only coin originally now there is support for GPU mining on Nvidia available thanks to djm34’s fork of ccMiner that just got whirlpool support added (source). We have compiled a windows binary of the new release and on a GeForce GTX 750 Ti video card we are getting a hashrate of almost 4400 KHS and about 11500 KHS on GTX 780 Ti. Have in mind that this ccMiner fork does support not only whirlpool algorithm, but many other as well, including whirlpool for example and other newer ones as well. For the moment there is still not AMD GPU minor available for this new algorithm, but there will most likely soon be available a fork of sgminer.
The windows binary available here is compiled for Compute 3.0, 3.5 and newer cards (32-bit version only) in a single binary, so it will not work on older cards. If you are unsure what version of Compute does your video card support check the included GPU Compute Capabilities List file. The binary is compiled with Visual Studio 2010 and is backwards compatible with Windows XP as well if you are using it on your mining rig.

The author of the ccMiner fork with support for the X15 algorithm for Nvidia GPU miners, djm34, has updated his code to improve the performance of X15 mining (source). We have compiled a windows binary and the hashrate we got now is slightly better than what we were getting with the previous release. Below you can find a link to download our windows binary of the new miner. Do note that it is compiled for Compute 3.0, 3.5 and newer cards (32-bit version only) in a single binary, so it will not work on older cards. If you are unsure what version of Compute does your video card support check the included GPU Compute Capabilities List file. The binary is compiled with Visual Studio 2010 and is compatible with Windows XP as well if you are still using it on your mining rig. Do note that this fork of ccMiner also supports other crypto algorithms and is not limited to only X15, check the help for more information.

Today a new altcoin has been launched called FreshCoin that uses a new algorithm that they called fresh that supposedly offers 15% to 20% less energy usage compared to x11 / x13 / x15. The Fresh algorithm combines some of the low energy hashing algorithms (SHAVITE, SIMD and ECHO) and the 5 rounds of multiple algorithms are supposed to provide high security and to keep ASIC miners away according to the authors of the coin and the new algorithm. We have compiled windows binaries of both the ccMiner fork with Fresh support for Nvidia as well as the sph-sgminer fork with Fresh support for AMD GPUs and you can download and try them below if interested in trying out the new altcoin.
Our tests have shown that on an AMD Radeon R9 280X GPU we are getting about 3700 KHS mining with the sph-sgminer fork for Fresh and on a GeForce GTX 750 Ti we are getting up to about 3100 KHS mining Fresh with the ccMiner fork and about 6500 KHS on GeForce GTX 780 Ti. The results are quite good in terms of performance and it seems that Nvidia miners using 750 Ti and other more recent and powerful GPUs may have some advantage performance wise. Also initially the coin did not have an option for renting mining hashrate as the algorithm was something new and there were no miners for it until the release of the coin. Now however you can already rent some hashrate from Mining Rig Rentals, so it did not take that much time. You can still join with your GPUs and mine some FreshCoin while the blow reward is highest and the network hashrate hasn’t jumped through the roof.
