CPU Mining With the cpuminer-opt Free and Open Source Miner

21, May 2020

It has been a while since we last covered the cpuminer-opt software, but the good news is that its development hasn’t stopped and this should probably be your go to miner as far as CPU mineable crypto coins are concerned. Do note that cpuminer-opt is an open source mining software for processor mining that supports a lot of algorithms and that list is growing, though you will most likely be using just a couple of them nowadays. The miner has optimizations for older and newer AMD and Intel processors, so make sure you try the binary that is intended for your processor for best results or feel free to experiment.

The alternative that often comes handy as far as CPU mining is concerned is SRBMiner-MULTI that supports fewer CPU mining algorithms, but some of them could be more optimized compared to cpuminer-opt, and also has support for RandomX algorithms (mostly targeted at AMD Ryzen CPU miners). SRBMiner-MULTI however is also a closed source miner with a built-in developer fee, even if it is a verified and a trusted one, some people still prefer to use open source mining software only s far as crypto and not only is concerned.

Have in mind that cpuminer-opt is available as a pre-built and ready to be used binary only for Windows, it has its source code available for everyone, has no developer fees of any kind and is supported only with donations, so if you find it useful fee free to toss some coins to your friendly software developer JayDDee (joblo) on Bitcointalk to the following Bitcoin address: 12tdvfF7KmAsihBXQXynT6E6th2c2pByTT.

CPU vs AMD and Nvidia GPU Mining for Yescrypt Coins

13, May 2015

yescrypt-cpu-miner

Earlier this month GPU miners for Yescrypt getting released for AMD and Nvidia GPUs were released thanks to the work of djm34. These miners however still seem to be slower in terms of performance when compared to CPU mining for Yescrypt, so we’ve decided to give a quick test on what some up to date CPU and GPU hardware is capable of in terms of performance. There are two coins that rely on Yescrypt at the moment, these are GlobalBoost-Y (BSTY) and Unitus (UIS), though UIS is a multi-algorithm altcoin. Below you can download the CPU miner for mining Yescrypt that we’ve used for the tests and as for the GPU miners, we have already published them here on the website – the djm34 fork of ccMiner and sgminer with Yescrypt support as well as the latest ccMiner fork from SP.

Performance results for Yescrypt:
– Intel Core i7 5820K CPU: 5.22 KHS
– AMD Radeon R9 280X GPU: 0.793 KHS
– Nvidia GeForce GTX 980 GPU: 1.124 KHS
