New Ethminer 0.9.41-genoil-1.1.6 pre-release Windows Binary

ethminer-genoil-1-1-6-pre-nicehash-stratum

Time for a new Windows binary of the latest pre-release version of Genoil’s ethminer 0.9.41 fork 1.1.6 (source). This time the focus is the addition for support of Nicehash’s Ethereum stratum implementation with extranonce subscribe for optimum performance when mining altcoins based on the Dagger-Hashimoto algorithm such as Ethereum (ETH). The binary is compiled with CUDA 8.0, supports both Nvidia CUD and AMD OpenCL mining modes, and is a pre-release version for testing the newly implemented features, you should not expect hashrate increase, though this version should do well when used with NiceHash, so you are welcome to test the new feature and report any issues you encounter. We have already done some comparison on what to expect selling your DaggerHashimoto (Ethash) GPU hashrate at NiceHash with the current price and mining directly for Ethereum and then selling the Ether coins for BTC. The results are below and it seems that even with the current low exchange rate as compared to what it was some days ago before the DAO hack it is still more profitable to mine ETH directly and sell it for BTC.

120 MHS mining hashrate ~ 1 ETH per Day:
– Ethereum Mining – 0.0159 BTC/Day
– Nicehash DaggerHashimoto – 0.0128 BTC/Day

Mining Rig Rentals Offering Dagger-Hashimoto Rigs for Ethereum

6, Mar 2016

mrr-dagger-hashimoto

The service for leasing and renting mining rigs for different crypto algorithms – Mining Rig Rentals has added support for the Dagger-Hashimoto algorithm that is used by Ethereum (ETH) as well as some other coins that have since been forked from it. There are two categories for Ethereum mining rigs available and we need to clarify the difference as there might be some confusion as to why. Dagger-Hashimoto(G) is for rigs that support Getwork while Dagger-Hashimoto(S) is for rigs supporting stratum, most of the Ethereum mining pools do rely on Getwork, though there are a few such as Ethpool that support stratum over their own miner called qtminer as well as getwork with standard ethminer. There is also the option to use a stratum proxy that will translate to getwork requests as an alternative to a pools directly supporting a stratum implementation for mining. The current stats show that out of 55 available getwork rigs 22 are available for renting or about half, but there are no rigs with stratum support currently listed at the service.

NiceHash Has Added Ethereum and Blake256 Support

22, Feb 2016

nicehash-blake256-ethereum

NiceHash – the popular service for renting or selling your hashrate for various mining algorithms with direct payment in Bitcoin has added support for Ethereum’s Dagger-Hashimoto algorithm (Ethash) as well as for Blake256r8, Blake256r14 and modified Blake256r8vnl (used by Vanillacoin) algorithms. Do note however that the Blake256 14-rounds used by Decred (DCR) is not yet supported, so be careful when setting up your miners for the Blake256 algorithms, regardless if you need buying or selling your hashrate on the platform. The usage for Ethereum (ETH) mining is pretty much the same like what you would go for with a normal ETH mining pool that does not have stratum support implemented.
