Updated sph-sgminer Fork with Luffa512 Algorithm Support

29, Jul 2014

sph-sgminer_luffa512

There is now a sph-sgminer fork with Luffa512 algorithm support available thanks to djm34 (source), the guy that just released ccMiner fork with Luffa512 support. We have compiled a windows binary from the latest source and have already tested it mining DoomCoin on an AMD Radeon R9 280X GPU to see what performance we are going to get – the result was about 143 MHS (faster than current performance on Nvidia GPUs). You can download and try the windows binary yourself from the link below. Do note that this version of sph-sgminer also supports most other new algorithms as well, so you an use it for mining not only DoomCoin. Also make sure to be using the latest 14.6/14.7 beta drivers from AMD in order to get the best performance and currently it seems that Nvidia GPU miners have some advantage in terms of performance for this algorithm.

sgminer-x17-windows

There is now a new fork of sgminer 5.0 beta that brings x17 algorithm support for mining crypto currencies such as People’s Coin (PPL) on AMD-based GPUs. The new fork is by the developer of the PPL coin (source) and it completest the GPU support along with the already available ccminer X17 fork by djm34 for Nvidia GPUs. We have compiled a windows binary from the latest source of the miner and tested it on an AMD Radeon R9 280X GPU getting almost 2500 KHS. You can download and try the windows binary yourself from the link below. Do note it is recommended to be using the latest 14.6/14.7 beta drivers from AMD in order to get the best performance.

Universal Molecule (UMO) Added to BlakeCoin Merged Mining

24, Jul 2014

The Blake-256 based crypto currencies merged mining now has another new addition, the new coin is called Universal Molecule (UMO), bringing the total number of merged mined coins to 6 (including BlakeCoin). UMO is still pretty new coin, but it is already available for trade on an exchange and the previously released coins are also traded on multiple exchanges, so if you still haven’t tried merged mining for BLC + 5 other Blake-256 coins, then you might want to check things out. The merged mining of Blake-256 is not a good idea on Nvidia GPUs, even though there is a miner available, it is not that good performance wise, however the AMD GPU miner is working well.

Blake-256 Algorithm GPU miners:
– Cgminer 3.7.2 with Blake-256 support for AMD
– Cgminer 3.1.1 with Blake-256 support for AMD
– CudaMiner with Blake-256 support for Nvidia
– ccMiner with Blake-256 support for Nvidia
