New Faster hsrminer Neoscrypt Nvidia GPU Miner

9, Jan 2018

If you have GPU mining rigs using more recent Nvidia GPUs and are interested in mining NeoScrypt based crypto coins, then you might want to check out the new hsrminer for Neoscrypt. This is a new closed source miner being developed by palgin & alexkap that is currently available as a Windows-only binary with 1% developer fee built-in. Currently the hsminer software is under development with a version available for Neoscrypt as well as for HSR mining support with other crypto algorithms coming later on as well. The currently available hsrminer version for Neoscrypt does offer a good improvement in terms of performance as compared to the previously available fastest ccMiner releases, so definitely worth checking it out.

Before trying this miner software just make sure that your Nvidia GPU is with Compute Capability 5.0 supported as minimum (though currently only Pascal GPUs seem to work) as well that are using a driver version 388.3x or later. Also it is advised to make sure that the amount of virtual memory you have set under Windows is pretty high as the miner does require a lot of memory, especially for more powerful GPUs. If using Windows 10 you might want to be sure that you have all the latest updates installed including the Creators Update as otherwise you might have issues with the miner.

Signatum (SIGT) Crypto Coin With New SkunkHash-Raptor Algorithm

24, Jul 2017

We were feeling a bit nostalgic for the old times where a new altcoin with a fresh algorithm and a new miner will launch and we would just go and mine it. Signatum (SIGT) has just offered what we needed to feel nostalgia over the old mining times no more. It is a new coin with no premine, ICO, dev fee or any of these and it comes with a new algorithm and thus new miners to support it. It is a POW/POS coin, though POS with 5% annual will start after block 98500 and POW mining will end at block 100000. The initial block reward is 2500 SIGT, down to half after block 3000 then halving again after block 60000. The total PoW coins that will be mined are 137,500,000 with block time of 2 minutes, after that POS is 5% annual on staked coins. There are no big promises being made for big and bright future with this one, though there is a lot of user interest already and a lot of miners are jumping on board, so who knows…

There is a CPU miner available, though with the release of AMD GPU miner (forked sgminer) and Nvidia GPU miner (forked ccminer) there is not much point mining with CPU anymore. SIGT is already being traded on Cryptopia with more exchanges probably following soon with the user interest apparently growing for this new altcoin, so you might want to check it out and give it a try mining if you have some spare GPU power available. Even Mining Rig Rentals has added support for selling and buying SkunkHash-Raptor hashrate.

Decred (DCR) Miners Should Update Their Mining Software

23, Apr 2017

A recent small change in the Decred (DCR) protocol has apparently resulted in the old GPU miners not being able to mine anymore, so an update is required in order to continue mining DRC coins. There is already an updated version of ccMiner 2.0 RC3 from Tpruvot for Nvidia GPUs as well as the Nicehash fork of sgminer version 5.6.1 for AMD GPUs. So if you are mining Decred (DCR) and want to be able to continue mining it make sure you update your mining software.
