It seems that djm34, has been working on adding NeoScrypt algorithm support to ccMiner and he apparently already has a well performing work in progress fork of ccMiner. The Nvidia GPUs ccMiner fork with NeoScrypt support however is going to be made public if there is enough user interest and the crowdfunding reaches the total sum of 5 BTC in the form of donations going to the author. If the crowdfunding goal is not reached the miner might be made available only to the people that have donated. Also further improvements in the hashrate are probably possible, so the miner might get even faster over time.
Current speed of the miner:
GTX 750ti: 127 KHS
GTX 780ti: 212 KHS
GTX 980: 427 KHS
Donation will have to be made to that BTC address: 18UZRrybgjmR4M53Aca4Q8YBguqErZ5qaP
If you are interested in mining NeoScrypt-based crypto coins and this goes not only for Feathercoin (FTC), but a few more NeoScrypt altcoins and are using Nvidia GPU mining rigs you are more than welcome to support the project.

New Windows Binary of sgminer 5.0.1 Master Branch
26, Nov 2014
The master branch of sgminer (source) has been updated to version 5.0.1 including some of the latest things that were available only in the develop branch such as the NeoScrypt support (Wolf9466’s OpenCL kernel) that was recently added. We have compiled a windows binary form the latest source code available in the master branch and you can download it from the link below. If you were using an older binary compiled from a development source then you might want to update it to this one that is based on the latest stable source. Don’t expect to get some serious performance increases from this version, unless of course you are still using a very old development release. If you are using an older release of the dev version of sgminer for mining FeatherCoin (FTC) or another NeoScrypt-based crypto coin you might want to make sure you have the latest version and update.

When the new sgminer 5 develop version was updated to include the latest Neoscrypt OpenCL kernel from Wolf9466 a few days ago it has turned out that the latest performance optimizations do break compatibility with Nvidia cards as well as with the latest AMD video drivers. The solution was to use older AMD Radeon drivers to generate the kernel binary and them get back to the latest, but now there is an even easier workaround that was discovered by an user called insanid from the Feathercoin forum that does not require you to instal different drivers. All you have to do is to include the OpenCL libraries from an older driver such as 14.6 or 14.7 in the folder of the sgminer and the miner will generate properly the kernel binary file. Then you can either run sgminer for Neoscrypt with these DLL files in the folder or remove them and use the ones installed by the latest video drivers such as 14.9. To make it easier for you we have included the OpenCL DLL libraries in our windows binary compilation of the latest sgminer 5 development branch (source) and you can download the full package from the link below and try this workaround yourself.
