Nvidia has just announced a new GPU architecture called Maxwell and their first GPU to use it – GeForce GTX 750 Ti. We’ve had a card for testing and decided to give it a try and see how it will perform for Scrypt mining as normally Nvidia GPUs are not providing as much hashrate as AMD graphics cards for crypto mining. The next Maxwell architecture from Nvidia however is interesting, because it is focused on optimization for better performance per watt – something that crypto coin miners are also interested a lot in. The new GeForce GTX 750 Ti GPUs have a power consumption of just about 60W and the price range for these cards is $150 USD. When you add the fact that a GeForce GTX 750 Ti based on the Maxwell architecture without overclock makes about 265 KH/s using CUDAminer these become an interesting solution for crypto miners.
CUDAminer startup parameters for 265 KH/s:
cudaminer.exe -o stratum+tcp://eu.multipool.us:7777 -u yourworker.cuda -p password -i 0 -l T5x24 -C 1
Furthermore after overclocking the GeForce GTX 750 Ti you can get close up to 300 KH/s hashrate out of the card without problems. There is a chance if the card allows higher overclocking frequencies and higher voltage operation as well as if it has external power and you can increase the power limiter to over 100% to get even higher performance out of it. Furthermore have in mind that CUDAminer is hot yet optimized to support the new Maxwell architecture and the hashrate we are getting out of it is with the kernel for the older Kepler architecture that is used for GTX 780 cards. So there is a chance for even higher performance with a specially optimized CUDAminer for the new Maxwell architecture…

The MaxCoin time with CPU mining was very short and now everyone is mining with GPU as soon as it became available, so the MAX crypto continues will full throttle. If you are looking into mining MaxCoin with GPU, then you might find this helpful – download CUDAminer for Nvidia with keccak support or download cgminer 3.6.6 with keccak support from the link below if you are mining with AMD graphics cards using OpenCL. The keccak version of cgminer miner may not be 100% stable, but it will restart again if there is a problem and it crashes. And as a suggestion for a pool to mine MaxCoin in – try 1GH. Ypool has already closed their MAX pool due to the serious DDoS attacks that MaxCoin pools were getting since the crypto has been announced a few days ago and 1GH seems to have resolved their problems with the attacks they were getting as well and are probably one of the largest if not the largest MaxCoin pool at the moment. There is now a newer version 3.7.2(3) available that is much more stable and reliable than the version 3.6.6.

The X25X proof-of-work crypto algorithm has been developed by the SUQA poject, later renamed to Sinovate (SIN) for GPU mining with the idea to be ASIC, FPGA, and Quantum resistant. October last year however Sinovate (SIN) has significantly dropped the mining rewards essentially making X25X mining SIN coins not very interesting anymore for most of the miners. Earlier this year however, on March 1st, the BitCash (BITC) crypto project started in 2018 has made its first hardfork and they have switched the PoW mining logarithm they used from X16Rv2 to X25X. This essentially revived the X25X algorithm, even though BITC is apparently not getting the attention it deserves as it is a really interesting project with a lot of features and is really easy to be used with a lot of the functionality built right into the wallet.
We have decided to give BitCash a go and see how mining works and how X25X support has changes since the last time we mined SIN using the algorithm. Unfortunately there hasn’t been much development and a wider support for the algorithm as it hasn’t been that popular and widely used so far. The main miner is T-Rex miner for Nvidia GPUs that also hasn’t seem much updates in the last half a year or so. The solution for X25X mining support for AMD users is still only one – WildRig Multi, though AMD GPUs do not perform as good as Nvidia for this particular algorithm. Here is an example, a single GTX 1080 Ti does around 6.5 MH/s while for the same hashrate you would roughly need 8x RX 580 AMD GPUs, so BitCash and X25X is definitely more interesting for Nvidia miners.
Almost all of the mining hashrate is split in about half between BSOD and Zergpool with a couple other much smaller pools supporting BITC mining as well, so the two top pools should be the preferred choice. Zergpool has support for solo and party mining that can be interesting alternatives to the standard pool mining for some users, considering that the BitCash network hashrate is currently not that big. BitCash is being traded on multiple smaller crypto exchanges such as STEX, CITEX, Crex24, TOKOK and Graviex. According to CoinMarketCap at the moment BitCash (BITC) has around 300k USD market cap with more than half of that as volume.
