MicroBitcoin (MBC) Rainforestv2 Optimized ccminer from SP

9, Oct 2019

If you might be interested in MicroBitcoin’s (MBC) Rainforestv2 mining on Nvidia GPUs you might want to check out the latest optimized spmod ccminer fork that offers significantly faster performance than the publicly available official version from djm34 (rfv2 ccminer). A quick test shows that SP’s optimized miner (closed source binary available for Windows only) is about 4 times faster than the public open source version from djm34 on a GTX 1080 Ti GPU, so significant boost in performance is to be expected on other Nvidia GPUs as well.

The only drawback with MBC is that it is currently listed on just 2 small exchanges with very little volume, although with a hashrate a few times faster than before there could be some profit to be made at least initially, so you might want to check it out. It has a huge market capitalization as the project is not so new, but the trading volume is pretty low at the moment. The cmminer SPMOD for rfv2 is compiled with CUDA 9.2 and is a 64-bit only binary for Windows, so make sure you meet the requirements to run the miner software.

Update: And very soon after the release of the miner MicroBitcoin (MBC) has successfully forked to a new algorithm – yespower2b… a CPU friendly one and not GPU mining oriented apparently, so the optimized miner was usable for just a couple of hours before the fork. MBC apparently needs to keep all their information channels more up to date about tings such as upcoming hard forks!

Updated X16r/X16s/C11/X17 Spmod-git #11 With Faster X17 Support

14, Sep 2018

A new update from sp on his open source and free fork of supminer (ccminer) now called X16r/X16s/C11/X17 Spmod-git #11 (source) with added support for the X17 algorithm. According to the developer the X17 hashrate is +10-15% faster than the ccminer alexis 1.0 opensource fork, so you might want to gie it a go for X17 altcoin mining. X16r and X16s performance has also been improved in the new version with 3-5% over what the previous release offered thanks to additional optimizations added to Fugue and Whirlpool that are a part of the X16r/s algorithms. We remind you that this miner is open source and comes with no developer fee built-in, meaning that all the performance you get is available to you and then there is also the source code available as well to learn from, modify and use to compile yourself.

Updated X16r/X16s/C11 Spmod-git #9 With Faster C11 Support

22, Aug 2018

One more update from sp on his open source and free fork of supminer (ccminer) now called X16r/X16s/C11 Spmod-git #9 (source) as it is no longer only for X16 algorithms. As the change in the name implies the the latest update adds faster C11 algorithm support and the optimizations to it should make it up to 33% faster than before, making the performance on par with the other fastest C11 miners such as T-Rex 0.6.1 and z-enemy 1.17. There are not only C11 performance improvements however in the latest update, it also comes with performance optimizations for X16 and X16S (faster bmw, shavite-cubehash), so better hashrate for these as well. The biggest advantage of this miner is that it is open source and comes with no developer fee built-in, meaning that all the performance you get is available to you and then there is also the source code available as well to learn from, modify and use to compile yourself.
