Updated Miner Control Tool Packages for AMD and Nvidia

miner-control-tool-package-update

Time for another update of the complete packages based on the Miner Control tool for Nvidia GeForce GT 750 Ti and AMD Radon R9 280x GPUs due to the latest developments in the mining world. The latest versions you can download from the links below include some updates and it removes the YAAMP pool support as it has become a part of NiceHashand currently redirects to their stratum servers. The latest updates also includes the most recent versions of SP-MOD’s ccMiner for Nvidia Maxwell as well as the sgminer fork with increased performance for Quark and Qubit with pre-compiled Binary Kernels for 280X. The two Miner Control tool packages are based on the latest fork of Miner Control from KBomba version 1.6.4.

To be ready to use the packages you just need to update the account settings for each pool to reflect your BTC payment address. Do note that the default configuration that we have set is mining from time to time for the author of the software (Miner Control) as a donation alternative, but you can change that setting should you wish to. The packages are ready to be used with either AMD Radeon R9 280X or Nvidia Geforce GTX 750 Ti cards, but you can also us the Nvidia package for other GPUs or more cards – what you may need to reflect however in the config file is the total hashrate and power usage. Since the AMD packages contains not only specific settings for AMD Radeon R9 280X, but also pre-compiled binary kernels specifically for that particular card if using it with other GPUs you will actually be getting lower hashrate, though n problem to use it with multiple 280X cards.

Yaamp Source Code is Now Open Source

yaamp-source-code

In light of the recent news that YAAMP has been bought by NiceHash there is still something good – the source code of the mining pool is now available on GitHub as an open source project. It seems that the deal with NiceHash is not about the code of the multi pool service, but is for the domain and the user base that the service has. So the people behind Yaamp have decided to release the code of the website instead of selling it to someone . So if you want to run a pool service such as what Yaamp offered, then you might want to check their source code, there is not that much documentation available yet, but you should be able to figure things out if you have some experience.
