TT-Miner 5.0.0 Nvidia GPU Miner Removes the Development Fee

6, May 2020

The latest TT-Miner 5.0.0 comes with no development fee, officially, meaning that the software will no longer mine 1% of the time for the developer like it was doing up until this version. While support and bugfixes should still continue further miner development could be stopped apparently. The latest major release TT-Miner 4.0.0 has added support for KAWPOW mining and now with version 5.0.0 this becomes the second KAWPOW miner with no dev fee, just like the official kawpowminer and this is a bit of an advantage that you might want to consider over other KAWPOW miners that do have 1% or even 2% dev fee!

If you like TT-Miner you are of course welcome to donate some coins to the developer should you wish to support further miner development, official developer donation addresses listed below:

BTC: bc1q0jvewuzg860dj7f9a6988l4ml5dc9ddzlq9e9m
XZC: aP7pMvUSgvSqswGcNxf4bBBMJbwpUEEto4
ETH: 0xb1C3d505DD3e6C737939AC686649fD79350D6D0d
RVN: RDXzfnKVBKF9uLWTCC5ao7CzWSYmh62NHN

Do note that if you get a missing DLL error when trying to run the miner on Windows you may need to download the latest Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015, 2017 and 2019.

TT-Miner supports ProgPOW, KAWPOW, Ethash, UBQhash, MTP, Lyra2REv3, Epic, EagleSong and Kadena (Blake2S) algorithms on Nvidia GPUs and is available for Windows and Linux as pre-compiled binaries, a closed source miner with no developer fee for all of the supported algorithms since version 5.0.0.

TT-Miner 4.0.0 Nvidia GPU Miner With KAWPOW Support And More

20, Apr 2020

The latest TT-Miner 4.0.0 comes with added support for the new algorithm to be used by Ravencoin starting May 6th – KAWPOW, a variation of ProgPoW, as well as the ProgPoW to be used by used by the Veil project for GPU mining with both available for trying out on testnet. The latest TT-Miner also brings support for Tecra (MTP), EtherCore (ERE) and Hanacoin (HANA), so a more significant major release. In order to avoid possible problems with running the miner make sure that instead of overwriting existing older version you are extracting the latest miner to a new folder.

Do note that if you get a missing DLL error when trying to run the miner on Windows you may need to download the latest Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015, 2017 and 2019.

TT-Miner supports ProgPOW, Ethash, UBQhash, MTP, Lyra2REv3, Epic, EagleSong and Kadena (Blake2S) algorithms on Nvidia GPUs and is available for Windows and Linux as pre-compiled binaries, a closed source miner with 1% developer fee for all of the supported algorithms.

Mining Super Zero (SERO) Using the ProgPoW Algorithm on Nvidia GPUs

16, Mar 2020

The ProgPoW mining algorithm is still not widely used by crypto projects, some of you migh remember Bitcoin Interest (BCI) as the first to switch their PoW mining to ProgPoW, but now the project is pretty much dying a slow death. And while we are waiting to see when and if Ethereum (ETH) will finally switch from Ethash to ProgPoW as a mining algorithm, there is another project that has been using ProgPoW for a while now – Super Zero (SERO) that you may play around with if you want to see the current status of ProgPoW miners. There are of course some other projects using ProgPoW as well, but among them SERO is pretty much the most popular one. We remind you that ProgPoW or Programmatic Proof-of-Work was designed in a way that it utilizes graphics processors to their maximum in order to provide an equal level performance without favoring a specific GPU manufacturer or being able to actually provide much faster hashrate if implemented on ASICs. Some good places to trade the coin include Citex, Gateio and Hotbit.

Recently GMiner has added support for ProgPoW mining for SERO on Nvidia GPUs, however that was a bit problematic as it required the user to install the respective Nvidia CUDA Toolkit for the video drivers you have used. The latest GMiner 2.01 has addressed this problem by including the required runtime libraries needed for ProgPoW support, so things are easier and less problematic using GMiner 2.01 for mining SERO on Nvidia GPUs using the ProgPoW algo. GMiner however is not the only mining software to support ProgPoW, it is just the latest one to add support, prior to that you could mine using MBMiner and also prior to that with TT-Miner. In fact TT-Miner (Trade-Tec Miner) was one of the first to introduce ProgPoW support along with the controversial and now not available anymore Progminer software.

Now, the big question that remains is which mine of the three should you be using if you are mining SERO with the ProgPoW algorithm on Nvidia GPUs? Well, performance wise all of the miners are doing pretty much the same in our up to date tests done on GTX 1080 Ti… it seems that ProgPoW support is based on the same kernel in all of the miners and not much has been further optimized (maybe not much is possible) since last year. So how can you make the right choice if hashrate is the almost the same on all of the 3 available miners, you should simply look at other things, like the dev fee that these miners have. GMiner and NBMiner do come with 2% developer fee for ProgPoW mining while TT-Miner has only 1% dev fee for all of the supported algorithm, so it seems like the best choice for the moment.
