I have Nvidia gtx 970 , gpu miner for Nvidia is released ? .
No miner released yet. The miner is a fork of an older version of cgminer with a rewritten kernel. It's been built for both AMD and NVIDIA cards, but it's likely that an optimized miner for NVIDIA cards will take a little finesse and a fork of ccminer.
I hope you guys can port this to FPGA like Blakecoin. I understand that it's not the same iteration of Blake-256, but FPGA mining would be excellent for Decred.
People don't realize just how promising Blake-256 is for the long run. It's fast, secure, and easy cheap to manufacture asics for when the time comes.
For the time being, it should help people to maximize mining returns due to its low power consumption and high hash output watt.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_large_numbersHigh hashrate per watt is always a good thing and having one secure algo rather than a chained algo like X11 was the right call.
I personally would like to see 8 round Blake-256 used so merge mining with the other coins using Blake-256 would be a possibility, but regardless, I'm excited about your project and the possible implications it will have for crypto as a whole.
I pulled this from the Blakecoin thread to elaborate on the advantages of the Blake-256 algo:
AdvantagesDesign
simplicity of the algorithm
interface for hashing with a salt
Performance
fast in both software and hardware
parallelism and throughput/area trade-off for hardware implementation
simple speed/confidence trade-off with the tunable number of rounds
Security
based on an intensively analyzed component (ChaCha)
resistant to generic second-preimage attacks
resistant to side-channel attacks
resistant to length-extension"
