New Claymore Dual Ethereum + Decred/Siacoin/Lbry/Pascal/Blake2s/Keccak AMD+NVIDIA GPU Miner

30, Mar 2018

Claymore has updated his dual Ethereum plus DCR, SC, LBRY, PASC, Blake2s and Keccak AMD and Nvidia GPU miner to version 11.6 bringing some performance improvements for slower Nvidia GPUS as well as increasing the usability of older GPUs with less VRAM along with new features and bug fixes. You can read what is the full list of changes in the latest version 11.6 below:

– improved hashrate for weak Nvidia cards by about 1%.
– zero devfee for 3GB cards in Windows 10, same as for all 2GB cards.
– applied some tricks to increase available memory for 3GB cards in Windows 10 so you can mine ETH a bit longer.
– now you can press “y” key to turn on “Compute Mode” in AMD drivers for all cards (Windows only).
– Linux version: removed openssl library dependency.
– improved “-logfile” option, now you can use it to specify a folder for log files, use slash at the end to do it, for example, “-logfile logs\”.
– added “-epoolsfile” and “-dpoolsfile” options.
– remote management: now “miner_getstat2” command also returns PCI bus index for every GPU.
– a few minor bug fixes and improvements.

Claymore’s Dual ETH GPU Miner v11.0 Now Available

8, Feb 2018

Claymore has released an update to his popular Ethereum dual miner for AMD and Nvidia GPUs with some new interesting and useful features as well as some small improvements. The new version 11 comes with two new algorithms that can be used in dual mining mode along with Ethereum or any other Ethash-based coin, these are Blake2s and Keccak. Another importan change is the reduced developer fee for dual mode that is now at 1.5% and the removal of the dev fee completely for video cards with just 2GB of video memory (you cannot mine ETH/ETC with these anymore, but the miner will work with other forks). The “-asm 2” option value now supports Tahiti, Tonga, Ellesmere, Baffin AMD GPUs and in some cases it can be a bit faster in ETH-only mode, so you can give it a try if you have a mining rig with any of these.

Updated ccMiner Fork with Keccak Algorithm Support

26, Jul 2014

ccminer-1.2-keccak-windows

The ccMiner fork from djm34 got updated to add support for the Keccak algorithm used by crypto coins such as MaxCoin along with some performance improvement for the Whirlpool algorithms. the Keccak algorithm is already supported by CudaMiner, but since it hasn’t been updated for quite a while and ccMiner has become the GPU miner of preference for Nvidia miners you can now mine coins using this algo with it as well. In terms of performance improvement for the whirlpool algorithm, with the new version we are getting 4550 KHS on a GeForce GTX 750 Ti, up from about 4400 KHS that we got with the previous update. On a GeForce GTX 780 Ti the hashrate is up from about 11500 KHS to 13000 KHS using the new code.

The windows binary available here is compiled for Compute 3.0, 3.5 and newer cards (32-bit version only) in a single binary, so it will not work on older cards. If you are unsure what version of Compute does your video card support check the included GPU Compute Capabilities List file. The binary is compiled with Visual Studio 2010 and is backwards compatible with Windows XP as well if you are using it on your mining rig.
