Updated ccMiner 1.8-dev fork by tpruvot With Faster Lyra2REv2 and Decred

ccminer-1-8-dev-tpruvot

Here is another quick update of the ccMiner fork by tpruvot with a new Windows binary we have compiled from the latest ccMiner 1.8-dev (source) that comes with improved hashrate for Lyra2REv2 thanks to the Nanashi Meiyo-Meijin improvements as well as faster Decred hashrate thanks to Alexis Provos improvements getting integrated. There are some other fixes and some new features using nvapi, this release also includes support for the X11 Evo algorithm, so you might want to give it a try if you are currently using different forks of ccMiner for different algorithms. The Windows binary is a 32-bit one compiled with CUDA 6.5 and with support for Compute 2.0 to Compute 5.2 Nvidia GPUs and will also work on the newer Pascal Nvidia GPUs even though it is not CUDA 8.0 binary. So do give it a try if you are GPU mining anything other than Ethereum on your Nvidia GPUs at the moment…

Windows Binaries for the cpuminer-opt 3.3.6 CPU Miner

cpuminer-opt-3-3-6-windows

The cpuminer-opt is an optimized CPU miner (source) with added optimizations for many algorithms using the AES-NI instruction set, though the miner also works on older SSE2 capable CPUs with lower performance. Up until recently the cpuminer-opt was available only for Linux users, but starting from version 3.3 there is also Windows support and we have compiled 64-bit binaries of the miner for Windows for the latest released version 3.3.6. The latest update brings some fixes and improvement including fixed reporting of AVX support on startup and Cryptonight algorithm support now working on Windows as well.

In the archive below you can find multiple executable files that are compiled for different CPU architectures that support AES-NI instructions, so you are welcome to try them to see what works best for you. If your processor does not support AES-NI (CPUS introduced 5 or more years ago), then you might want to use the cpuminer-sse2.exe binary. The default cpuminer.exe is compiled for Intel Westmere, the first Intel architecture that has support for the AES-NI instruction set and cpuminer-amd.exe is bdver1 which should work on all AMD processors with AES-NI support. If you have a more recent Intel Sandybridge, Ivybridge, Haswell or Broadwell-based processor you can try the respective binary to see if that will squeeze some extra performance, or you can compile directly on your PC with the native instruction set supported by your CPU.

Windows Binaries for the cpuminer-opt 3.3.5 CPU Miner

cpuminer-opt-3-3-5-windows

The cpuminer-opt is an optimized CPU miner (source) forked from cpuminer-multi, but with added optimizations for many algorithms for use with the more recent CPUs supporting the AES-NI instruction set, though the miner also works on older SSE2 capable CPUs with lower performance. Up until recently the cpuminer-opt was available only for Linux users, but starting from version 3.3 there is also Windows support and we have compiled 64-bit binaries of the miner for Windows for the latest released version 3.3.5. Joblo, the person behind the project, has been quite active with the development lately fixing some issues with AES-NI support and we have been compiling all the new updates, so we have decided to post the latest one for everyone that is mining HODL, ESP, XRE or another recent altcoin with a new algorithm.
