Updated ccMiner 1.6-git fork by tpruvot Now Available

6, Mar 2015

ccminer-1-6-git-tpruvot

Recently we have been compiling and releasing windows binaries of the ccMiner fork by SP that is optimized for newer Nvidia GPUs based on the Maxwell architecture, but tpruvot has been active lately and we have decided to compile and release a windows binary from his latest source. The windows binary we have compiled for ccMiner 1.6-git by tpruvot (source) is with support for Compute 3.0 or later Nvidia-based video cards, unlike the SP releases that are Compute 5.0 and 5.2. This means that if you are using older video cards you should go for the tpruvot release as the SP fork will not function on these, newer Maxwell GPUs however will get much better performance with the SP fork. Below you can find a quick comparison we did with the latest ccMiner 1.5-41 fork from SP and ccMiner 1.6-git fork by tpruvot using a GeForce GTX 980 GPU running at stock frequencies.

ccMiner 1.5-41 SP:
X11 – 9098 KHS
X13 – 7230 KHS
X15 – 6226 KHS

ccMiner 1.6-git tpruvot:
X11 – 8239 KHS
X13 – 6669 KHS
X15 – 5830 KHS

New ccMiner 1.5.1-git by tpruvot With Lyra2RE Support Available

11, Dec 2014

ccminer-1-5-1-tpruvot

We have compiled a new windows binary from the latest ccMiner 1.5.1-git by tpruvot (source) that comes with support for the Lyra2RE algorithm – the algorithm that VertCoin (VTC) is going to be forking to. There is an official ccMiner fork with support for Lyra2RE available, but it seems that tpruvot’s fork is slightly better in terms of performance. We are getting about 1180 KHS with a GTX 980 GPU running at stock frequencies and around 1140 KHS with the official Lyra2RE ccMiner on the same hardware. Do note that this is not an official 1.5.1 release from tpruvot, we have just compiled a binary form the latest source in order to be able to test Lyra2RE mining performance on the available test pool. Our windows binary is compiled with VS2013 and supports Compute 3.0, 3.5, 5.0 and 5.2 GPUs, you can download and try it below, there is an example BAT file setup for testing hashrate at the Hashlink’s test VTC pool with Lyra2RE support.

New ccMiner 1.5 Fork by tpruvot With Websocket API Example Available

4, Dec 2014

ccminer-websocket-sample

The API functionality that was recently introduced to the ccMiner fork by tpruvot (source) is now accessible through a websocket directly from the web browser. This means that you just need to open a HTML file on your computer to be able to monitor stats from the ccMiner that is running with the API enabled, no need to have a web server running on the same computer in order to be able to browse statistical information via the API. The sample websocket code included in the latest code from tpruvot just shows a graphical representation of the hashrate, but it can be extended to include other statistics as well from the available data provided by the API. We have compiled a windows binary from the latest code supporting Compute 3.0 to Compute 5.2 GPUs and you can download and try it from the link below. The included sample websocket.htm file is for showing you the basic hashrate stats, you need to run the ccMiner with the API enabled for the stats to work.
