New ccminer 2.3.1 from Tpruvot with Lyra2REv3 Support and More

31, Jan 2019

It has been a quite a while since the last update of tpruvot’s ccminer fork (source), but there it is a new version 2.3.1 available now that comes with support for Lyra2REv3, sha256q, exosis and Blake2b standard algorithms. The official binary is 64-bit Windows only built with CUDA 10 for SM3+ devices, SM 7.5 architecture is also supported, but doesn’t seem to bring any advantage, for others variants you can build from the source code as the miner is opensource. Do note that CUDA 10 support requires an Nvidia video driver version 410.48 or newer.

The most notable thing abut the new release is the support for Lyra2REv3 that will soon be used by the Vertcoin (VTC) after the upcoming hardfork expected to happen in less than two days. The fork should happen in around February 2nd as it is planned for block 1080000, so make sure you are ready with the required local wallet upgrade (if you are using one) as well as with a miner supporting the new Lyra2REv3 algorithm like the latest ccminer from tpruvot available for Nvidia GPU miners.

VertCoin Has Hard Forked to New Lyra2RE Algorithm

10, Aug 2015

VertCoin (VTC) has hard forked at block number 347000 bringing forth a new and improved Lyra2RE algorithm. This means that in order to continue using and mining VTC you will need to update your VertCoin wallet to the latest version as well as use a miner that adds support for the new Lyra2RE algorithm introduced with the hard fork. So far we only have working forks sgminer for AMD (source) and ccminer for Nvidia (source) from DJM34 that have support for the new version of the Lyra2RE algorithm, but we expect to see support added in other miners as well. You can download compiled Windows binaries for both miners from the links below and continue mining for the Lyra2v2 algorithm that VertCoin (VTC) is now using, also do not forget to update your VTC wallet. Do note that most coins will likely continue to use the older Lyra2RE algorithm for now, so this may cause some confusion as to what version of Lyra2RE is used by different altcoins other than VTC.

Mining Rig Rentals Now Offering Lyra2RE Support

3, Feb 2015

The service for leasing or renting your hashrate Mining Rig Rentals has added support for the Lyra2RE used by VTC (VertCoin) and some other crypto coins. There are currently 11 rigs listed at the service selling Lyra2RE hashrate, so the interest is actually not yet that big. The service Mining Rig Rentals has been the most active one in implementing support for new alternative cryto currency algorithms and thus it supports a lot of algorithms that no other similar service has available for users to either sell or purchase hashrate. So if you haven’t yet seen what MRR offers, then you might want to give them a try, regardless if you want to lease you mining rigs’ hashrate or rent some hashrate for a specific supported algorithm.
