axiom-optimized-miner-new

NiceHash has released an updated version of their Axiom CPU Miner Launcher that provides a simple and easy GUI for running the optimized cpuminer-multi fork (source). The new releases apparently includes optimizations from sandor111 that further increases the performance for mining Axiom on CPU. Compared to the previous version from about a month ago we are seeing about 90% increase in performance on an Intel Core i7 5820K processor and apparently AVX2-capable CPUs seem to have the highest performance increase, though older processors will also get increased hashrate. So if you are mining Axiom on CPU you might want to try the updated miner with GUI to ease the mining on NiceHash and get paid directly in Bitcoin.

cpuminer-multi-1-2-dev-tpruvot

It has been a while since there has been an official release of the cpuminer-multi fork from tpruvot though he is working on his cpuminer-multi CPU miner with multiple algorithms support (source). This is the most functional fork of cpuminer that comes with support for the largest number of algorithms and a lot of optimizations for them to get the most performance out of your CPU. Do note however that some dedicated forks of cpuminer for a specific algorithm may still provide better performance, but if you want flexible solution with many algorithms supported then cpuminer-multi is the choice. We have compiled an up to date Windows binary from the latest source that comes with a lot of fixes and improvements regarding Lyra2RE and the new Lyra2REv2 algorithms as well as some other changes and extra functionality. If you have some spare CPU power that you want to use for mining then this is the miner you’ll need, do note that we have compiled our Windows binary with Visual Studio 2013 and for 64-bit Windows.

ccminer-1-6-6-git-tpruvot

While there is still no official release of the ccMiner version 1.6.6 frok from tpruvot since there were requests from readers, we have compiled a Windows binary from the latest (source). The latest version includes numerous improvements including performance optimizations, there is support for the new Lyra2REv2 algorithm now available as well as some other algorithms. Our Windows binary is compiled with VS2013 and CUDA 6.5 and supports Compute 3.0, 3.5, 5.0 and 5.2 GPUs, but do have in mind that not all of the supported algorithms may work on older Compute 3.0 GPUs. You can download and try it below, there is an example BAT file setup for testing the multiple pool support.
