The Bitcoin cloud mining provider Genesis Mining has announced a new type of cloud mining contract with a fixed term of 1 year and a lower price per GHS resulting in faster ROI time than their standard Lifetime mining contracts. The new 1 year Master contract is available with a price of $0.29 USD per GHS as opposed to the price of $0.39-0.45 USD per GHS for the Lifetime contracts. The daily maintenance fee for the new contracts remains the same as before at $0.0015 USD per Gigahash. The standard listed 1 year fixed term contract is for 1 THS, but you can actually purchase a contract as low as 250 GHS fo the fixed term, the minimum for Lifetime contracts is 50 GHS.

The idea with the new 1 year term contracts for Bitcoin cloud mining is to provide alternative for users that want a shorter term ROI and are not interested in longer term investments that could end up bringing more profit over the long run. Do note however that there are no guarantees in the mining world, since the daily maintenance fee is fixed in USD the daily profit can vary depending on the current exchange rate of Bitcoin. The increasing difficulty of the Bitcoin network can also be a factor in reducing your profit over time. So always invest carefully in cloud mining contracts and do your math.

And here is a 2.5% discount code for the new 1 Year Master Contract and 5% off for the Lifetime mining contracts, so you can get even better deal for the price per GHS. All you have to do is to enter the promo code CryptoMiningBlog5 when checking out.

Updated Windows Binary of the ccMiner 1.5.55-git Fork by SP for Maxwell

ccminer-1-5-55-sp-mod

Here comes a new Windows binary release compiled from the latest Git source code of the ccMiner 1.5.55-git SP-MOD fork of the Nvidia GPU miner optimized for the latest Maxwell-based video cards by SP (source). The new version includes fixes for numerous algorithms such as WhirlpoolX, Neoscrypt,Lyra2RE and Qubit and provides additional performance increase for Quark. Furthermore it can also be compiled with the latest CUDA 7.5, however it seems that CUDA 6.5 is still giving the best performance, so we have used it for this. Do note that the 55 release may have some issue with local wallet mining, just like release 54 as it appears we are having some trouble with that, so if you do experience a problem you should go back to the 53 release that seems to work fine. The SP-MOD fork of ccMiner is designed for Nvidia Maxwell GPUs such as the already available GTX 750, 750 Ti as well as the newer GTX 960, GTX 970, GTX 980 and GTX 980 Ti and GTX Titan X. The Windows binary release we have made available here is with support for Compute 5.0 and Compute 5.2 GPUs or with other words only for Maxwell-based cards compiled with CUDA 6.5 and VS2013.
