It Is All About BTC, LTC, ETH, DOGE, KAS mining as well as other alternative crypto currencies
Here is a nice and useful software for everyone using Nvidia GPUs for mining crypto coins, especially for people that have built mining rigs based on the very popular for mining GeForce GTX 750 Ti video cards. The tool is called Profit Calculator and in open source, being developed by a user called KBomba. It queries different crypto exchanges such as Bittrex, Mintpal and Cryptsy for coin prices, uses services like WhatToMine, CoinTweak and CoinWarz for the current coin difficulty and block rewards and also checks NiceHash for their current prices as well as PoolPicker for the most profitable pools. The result you get is a list based on profitability that includes not only the most profitable coins to mine, but also the most profitable multipools as well with an estimate on the expected revenue.
The hashrate values that are preset in the tool by default are for a single GTX 750 Ti GPU, but you can change them for other cards if you know the hashrate values of your hardware for the different algorithms. This actually makes the tool usable not only for Nvidia, but also for AMD-based mining rigs as well, though you should first check what hashrate will your hardware be able to provide in order to be able to get more accurate results for what your earnings should be. So do give the tool a try, it can be quite useful even if the results may not always be absolutely accurate, you can still get a pretty good idea about the current market and coin profitability.

The ccMiner Nvidia CUDA miner has just been updated to version 1.2 with the source code getting support for the community contributed X13 and Diamond Groestl support. We have compiled a windows binary version from the source that includes the recently released optimizations called “Killer Groestl” that improves the performance of Groestl and all coins that use the algorithm supported by ccMiner. If you are using tsiv’s fork of ccMiner for mining X13 then it is recommended to download this new update as it will bring an extra performance improvement in x13 mining hashrate. Our tests show that on a GeForce GTX 750 Ti you can expect to get from about 1700 KHS to close to 2100 KHS mining X13 with the new ccMiner 1.2 as X13 does rely on Groestl as well.
Do note that the windows binary you can download below is compiled for Compute 3.0 and Compute 3.5-5.0 cards (32-bit version only), 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. It is also compiled with Visual Studio 2012, so if you do not already have Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2012 you will have to download and install it, otherwise you may be getting error for a missing DLL library.

The source code of the ccMiner GPU miner for Nvidia has been updated to version 1.1 with a “Killer Groestl” implementation that essentially improves the hashrate for Groestl and other algorithms that use it. So with the new version you should see improvement in terms of speed for mining quark, anime, x11, jackpot, groestl, myr-gr and nist5 coins with ccMiner. There is no official binary release available, but we have compiled one to test it and you can download it below. Do note that this official update does not yet include X13 support, there is an unofficial fork with X13 support available, but the next update should also include the code for X13. So with it there should also be some speed improvements with X13 mining as well, so keep tuned for more updates very soon from the author of the software.
Trying out the new ccMiner 1.1 on a GeForce GTX 750 Ti GPU has shown some really nice improvements in terms of hashrate from the previous release without the Killer Groestl implementation. We are now getting up to about 2700 KHS on X11 versus about 2200 previously, Groestl gets us close to 7600 up from 3300, for Jackpot from about 3900 to 5500 and Talkcoin (NIST5) from 4800 to 8200. So the speed improvements are really worth the wait and if you are mining a coin using Groestl with your Nvidia GPUs at the moment you should definitely update your ccMiner.
Do note that the windows binary you can download below is compiled for Compute 3.0 and Compute 3.5-5.0 cards (32-bit version only), so it will not work on older cards.
