We have compiled a Windows binary for the new ccMiner Lyra2RE fork by djm34 (source) that offers improved performance for the Lyra2RE algorithm for GPU mining on Nvidia-based video cards. Our Windows binary is compiled with VS2013 and CUDA 6.5 and supports Compute 3.5, 5.0 and 5.2 GPUs, so you can download and try it from the link below if you have compatible hardware. We are seeing a significant improvement from the previous hashrates that were available in ccMiner. For example a non-overclocked GeForce GTX 980 has jumped from around 1325 KHS to about 2126 KHS with this new release, while with a GTX 750 Ti you can get a hashrate slightly lower compared to what was previously available on the GTX 980. A GeForce GTX 980 Ti card has jumped from about 2024 KHS to 2747 KHS, again non-overclocked results as with some OC and higher intensity you can get some extra performance.

Genesis Hive Software For Managing Big Mining Farms

The cloud mining provider Genesis Mining has announced their project called Genesis Hive – a web interface that enables you to easily setup, watch, and manage your bitcoin or altcoin mining farm. Think of it as the ultimate control panel to manage your mining rigs in a large scale crypto currency mining operation such as the one the company has been operating. In fact the Genesis Hive has been developed for internal use as the company needed to be able to have an easy to use solution for monitoring and controlling of the hardware in their own mining data centers. The project is designed for large scale mining operation and is not intended for small home miners, so if you are interested you can check more details about the solution and inquire for additional information such as hardware compatibility and pricing.

Bitcoin Transactions Moving Slow Again

It seems that the number of unconfirmed transactions on the Bitcoin blockchain has been growing steadily over the last few days with the increase in price and user interest and trading as well. We are not sure if there is some test of the network going on yet again, but as far as we know there isn’t any at the moment. Yesterday it was over 10K and today this number has grown to over 17K and the number continues to increase, essentially making the waiting time for a transaction to be confirmed to a few hours. The wait time for transactions with lower network fees could be even more, so be aware of that when sending payments or transferring BTC between wallets.
