Chris,

1) I know you are busy adding new features and algorithms to the programs.  But I was wondering if there is any plans to merge the features of cudaminer and ccminer into just one program? Kind of gets confusing trying to remember which version to run for what coin etc.  Not a big deal but was just wondering if this is in the pipeline or if you plan on keeping them separate programs.

2) Also since you had originally said you were going to try and release the new killer groestl by EOM.  Have you figured out a way to do that yet being able to protect your code?

3) Have you taken a look at MNR https://bt.irlbtc.com/view/577437.0 Hefty1 implementation minus the voting?  I'd imagine the HVC code with only slight modifications could work on MNR too.  Have you given this any consideration?

4) THANK YOU so much for all your hard work!

Hah, no worries.  That's just on my desktop which has 2x750s and 1x670.  750s are at about 9800khs.  My other rigs are all maxwell and work fine. That coin looks to be dead already so i'm gonna skip it anyways.

yeh i will compile it now
christian if you put nvml into it, can't you get it to query the card for compute version then just get it to change from that?

EDIT:

soo i compiled it with #define MAXWELL_OR_FERMI 1, and compute 3.5
on groestl i am still seeing a 600khash/s drop

5.5  
i will leave it to run for a while as it may not have adjusted to diff properly? no idea

UPDATE:

ok so its been running a while now, it is exactly 600khash/s drop
2.8MH/s down from 3.4MH/s

so the drop is exactly the same even with overclocks

this might sound daft, but did you test it on x1 risers? if not i wonder if the table implementation is having a cut back on speeds due to the risers?

@cbuchner1

I know this was brought up a while ago but wanted to ask again.

Have you thought about adding an hard pay to your miner yet to help support it. I know some people might not like it but I like how Claymore did his XPM miner. Hard coded at 10% but you can turn it off and it slows down the speed of the miner. I have no problem paying him the 10% fee that I find. He updates regular so I think the method works.

I see it as a win/win situation. You get paid for your time and hard work and we get coins that we would not have gotten as fast without your miner. I don't know if your ccminer is based on another miner but I have seen another where part of the fee went to the original miner's creator also.

The version you compiled originally was already compiled for maxwell. I guess the other poster was confused cause i said my 670 was giving crazy numbers but my maxwell cards were fine.

Let us all know if there is improvements please, and thanks for testing these things, I know it takes some time.

So what improvements does v0.6 of ccminer have?

I would have to imagine that right now Christian is about public enemy #1 for new coin devs. If there is a flaw in your coin he seems pretty adept at finding it.

There aren't a lot of guys running around that have his level of skill doing this, because it isn't like I (or most of the others just mining) would every find flaws like this.

These are new algorithms though, so I think this is all part of the growing process that others have already gone though.

It does make it all stronger in the long run, because at least Christian lets everyone know there is a flaw.

Imagine the outrage that would happen if this went unnoticed for months and the coin was at a more successful point when this came out. People would freak out.

I also notice that Groestlcoin gets it daily jump up the profits list on CoinWarz, and that can't hurt for visibility purposes.

It just showed up as #2 in the daily profit ratings, and since you can't deactivate seeing the Groestl algo coins with the Scrypt coins, there are a lot of people mining lots of Scrypt laying eyes on this new algo for the first time.
