Updated ccMiner 1.5-git Fork by tpruvot With Extra Nonce Support

23, Nov 2014

ccminer-1-5-git-tpruvot

We have compiled a windows binary from the latest (source) of ccMiner 1.5-git fork by tpruvot as he has added support for the Extra Nonce feature used by services such as NiceHash or WestHash to maximize the mining performance. So if you are currently leasing your Nvidia GPU mining hashrate at NiceHash you might want to try out the latest code of this ccMiner fork. Do note that there is still no official release of 1.5 by tpruvot and this windows binary is compiled from the latest source available on GitHub. There are also some increases in performance as compared to the previous release, so you should notice a slightly better hashrate in some algorithms. The windows binary available for download below is compiled for Compute 3.0, 3.5, 5.0 and 5.2 Nvidia GPUs using VS2013 and CUDA 6.5, so make sure you have updated your drivers if you still don’t have ones installed with CUDA 6.5 support.

New Updated ccMiner 1.4.7.SP Fork with Optimized Kernels for Maxwell

17, Nov 2014

ccminer-147-sp-maxwell-optimized-new

We have compiled a new windows binary of the ccMiner 1.4.7.SP (source) fork with optimized kernels for Nvidia Maxwell GPUs supporting Compute 5.0 (GTX 750 / 750 Ti) and Compute 5.2 (GTX 970 / GTX 980) that includes some slight performance improvements for the Blake, Echo and Shavite algorithms as well as other more general optimizations that should result in slightly faster hashrate on some of the algorithms supported by the miner. The windows binary you can download below is compiled with VS2013 and CUDA 6.5 and is only for Nvidia Maxwell GPUs, it will not worl on older hardware – for older Nvidia cards you can use tpruvot’s ccMiner fork that should also work on Compute 3.0 and 3.5 GPUs.

The Latest ccMiner 1.4.9 Fork by tpruvot With API, Config and GPU Monitoring

13, Nov 2014

ccminer-149-tpruvot

The ccMiner for Nvidia GPU mining for crypto coins is finally getting more like cgminer for AMD in terms of supported features thanks to developers like tpruvot. The more recent versions including the latest 1.4.9 of his ccMiner fork (source) have introduced features such as the ability to control the intensity of the GPU load, basic API functionality to get stats available to other software, support for JSON-based config file and now also nvapi/nvml support for GPU monitoring and possibly control. We have compiled a Windows binary from the latest source since there is still no official one released with the latest features and you can find a link to download it below. The binary is compiled with VS2013 and CUDA 6.5, however it includes support for Compute 3.0, Compute 3.5, Compute 5.0 and Compute 5.2 GPUs and not only for the new Maxwell-based cards. The latest version also does include some of the optimizations from SP’s ccMiner fork optimized for Maxwell, so you can expect to get similar performance on Maxwell cards such as GTX 750 Ti or GTX 970/980 with this release from tpruvot. The only thing that we still haven’t figured out is how to make GPU monitoring work as we are getting an error message saying that it i not available.

Update: There is now an official release of 1.4.9 available with some additional fixes and changes in the API, so you can download it directly from tpruvot’s Github repository, link below is updated to point to it.
