There have been some updates in the Heavycoin GPU miner that bring out extra performance, so we have compiled a windows binary from the latest source. The results are quite good and we do recommend you to update the miner if you are still using the older version to mine HVC on AMD graphic cards. With the older release that we have compiled and published here we’ve got around 5.1 MHS from a single Radeon R9 280X GPU and with the latest binary we are getting up to about 7.2 MHS with the same hardware, so definitely a very good improvement performance wise. Below you can download cgminer 3.7.3 with support for HVC GPU mining compiled for windows.

Now, more than a day since the release of a GPU miner for AMD graphics for mining the previously announced as CPU only crypto Heavycoin (HVC) is available, surprisingly the price of the crypto is still at high levels. The release of GPU miner already made the mining of the coin with CPU pointless, and the coin is already not so easily mineable with GPUs with the network hashrate already pretty high. Mining HVC with AMD GPUs however may be worthwhile for some more time if you have some AMD Radeon cards to spare if the exchange rate does not start to drop. We still haven’t gotten a release of a HVC miner for Nvidia that uses CUDA, but the author of CudaMiner is working on such software. The interest in Heavycoin is still quite high and you should not be dismissing it so easily.

So long with Heavycoin (HVC) being a CPU only coin, now there is an OpenCL miner available for GPU mining the coin with a much faster speed than on a processor. We have compiled the modified version of cgminer 3.7.3 with Heavycoin support for windows and you can download the binary from the link below (source). We are getting about 5 MHS on Radeon R9 280x GPUs as you can see on the screenshot. We have tested the miner and can confirm it is working fine on the 1GH HVC pool, though it may also work on others as well. Due to the rapid increase in pool load you might want to try using hvcpool.1gh.com and hvcpool2.1gh.com as backup, also make sure configure the miner. And soon we may also see a CUDA miner for GPU mining Heavycoin also available from the developer of cudaminer as well. So no longer point in mining HVC on the CPU only anymore.
