Updated Windows Binary of the ccMiner 1.5.2-git Fork by SP for Maxwell

24, Dec 2014

ccminer-1-5-2-git-spmod

Here is a new windows binary compiled from the latest code of the ccMiner 1.5.2-git SP-MOD fork of the Nvidia GPU miner optimized for Maxwell GPUs by SP (source). There are some additional performance improvements and fixes in the latest code since the last binary we have compiled a few days ago, so you might want to update to get a bit faster and more stable mining performance. The version from SP is designed for running on Nvidia Maxwell GPUs such as GTX 750 and 750 Ti as well as the newer GTX 970 and 980 and it also includes some additional performance optimizations, though it might unction also on older GPUs. The windows binary release we have available here is compiled with support for Compute 5.0 and Compute 5.2 GPUs or with other words only for Maxwell-based cards.

ccminer-1-5-1-git-spmod

Here is a new windows binary compiled from the latest code of the ccMiner 1.5.1-git SP-MOD fork of the Nvidia GPU miner optimized for Maxwell GPUs by SP (source). The latest version includes the new features and updates from tpruvot’s 1.5.1 fork of ccMiner including the new Lyra2RE algorithm support from djm34 for mining VertCoin (VTC). The version from SP is designed for running on Nvidia Maxwell GPUs such as GTX 750 and 750 Ti as well as the newer GTX 970 and 980 and it also includes some additional performance optimizations, though it might unction also on older GPUs.

NiceHash and WestHash Now With Support for Lyra2RE

14, Dec 2014

A good sign that there is a lot of user interest in the new Lyra2RE that VertCoin (VTC) has recently forked to is that services for renting and leasing hashrate are starting to add support for it. Today NiceHash has added support for the Lyra2RE algorithm and while it may not be the most profitable algorithm according the stats on profitability it is still very profitable (SHA256 is the most profitable at the moment for some reason, making it interesting to sell hashrate than to mine Bitcoins directly). So if you are mining VTC directly and then selling it for BTC, then you might want to make it easier by directly pointing your hashrate to NiceHash or WestHash. Interestingly enough now that VertCoin is no longer Scrypt-N the interest for hashrate at services that offer you to rent an lease has gone low as people are apparently moving to Lyra2RE. It will be interesting to see if the interest in Lyra2RE and VTC will continue to increase or it will just be a temporary thing. If the difficulty continues to rise and the exchange rate of VertCoin does not start rising the profitability of VTC will suffer and people will start moving to more profitable coins to mine. As a result of people mining and selling VTC for BTC we already saw a drop in the VertCoin exchange rate today when some people apparently dumped the coins mined immediately after the switch of the algorithms while the difficulty was low.
