WildRig is a relatively new closed source miner for both AMD OpenCL and Nvidia CUDA GPU miners for the Wild Keccak algorithm used by crypto coins such as Boolberry (BBR) or PURK. It seems to be performing better on Nvidia hardware compared to ccMiner’s performance for Wild Keccak, though on AMD it may not be faster than other alternative miners available. Do note that since this is a closed source miner it also comes with a 2% developer fee built-in, so that fact can make all the difference depending on your hardware if it is worth using the miner or not. Since it is a specific miner for a specific algorithm it offers some extra features and improvements that may make it more problem-free or useful for mining Wild Keccak, though there are not much coins out there that actually rely on this algorithm unfortunately. There are binaries available for Windows, Linux and Hive OS.

The T-Rex miner is one of the newer GPU miners out there and it is an interesting option for Nvidia mining rig owners that are looking for profitable new coins based on less popular mining algorithms. Since we last covered the miner there have been some new additions of the supported mining algorithms, namely x16r, x16s and renesis along with some performance improvements in 0.5.7 for a few extra percent of performance in renesis, hsr, x16r, x16s, x17 and c11.
Performance wise we were a bit surprise that the X16R and X16S algorithms are not only now slower, but in fact at times may be even a bit faster at times compared to the latest z-enemy miner 1.14, at least what the miner reports. Also the performance for mining Renesis (RESS) is better than the official fork of ccminer for that algorithm, so you might want to check it out if you still haven’t done so.
Finally, just a reminder that T-Rex is a closed source miner and that there is 1% development fee built-in and you need to have a recent video driver installed as the binaries for both Linux and Windows are compiled for CUDA 9.1/9.2.

There is a new altcoin called Renesis (RESS) out there that comes with a new Renesis hash that mixes 8 already familiar different hashing algorithms in a more complex and secure mining algorithm. If you are looking for something new and different to mine, especially if you have Nvidia GPUs, that uses a new algorithm and miners respectively, then you might want to check out RESS. There is already a ccminer fork with Renesis support, only official Windows binary release for now (source). Experimental sgminer for AMD is also available, but not very good performance wise for the moment compared to Nvidia GPUs (source). You should be aware that the coin has a significant premine and it is really important how will that be used for the future development of the project…
