Really!!

No one can help me? 

I should have known this, and shouldn't have even posted without doing this first, but a computer restart fixed it, and it's mining away now.

I was able to compile it in VS2012 Professional and actually run it on my puny Quadro 4000 (Fermi based) and tested it for scrypt-jane. I Could run it with -l F4x3 and received a fairly low 0.41 khash/s. Sadly interactive mode didn't seem to work, so I can't use it on this computer (I use it for normal work too).

Edit:
For comparison, normal scrypt is running with around 83 khash/s.

Is it mining better or worse???

Because my machines are only for mining so if its not seeing an improvement i'm not updating them.

Same. Just waiting for a guinea pig to say whether or not todays drivers do anything for mining

What does having a scrypt-jane cryptocurrency having an Nfactor of 6 and N of 128 potentionally mean? I mean could cudaMiner be optimized for that for higher hashrates?

Just patiently waiting for the update with scrypt-jane
Wanna jump on ya coin quick. Its actually a bit more profitable than ltc right now if I mine ya and convert to btc= $$

I have to strongly recommend to mine yacoin using Linux on Kepler devices (Compute 3.0 or 3.5). For Linux, github has always been the preferred way of getting the source code.

The Windows version (for some bizarre reason) does not achieve comparable performance on the same kernel launch configurations.

I will attempt to optimize scrypt-jane mining for Fermi later, but that may take a bit longer.

Solo-Mining is a lottery.  Only when you average several days or weeks you get a reliable estimates of your expected income. And even that estimate may change, as people start jumping on yacoin with CUDA, driving up the difficulty. Today for example the dominant pool had a failure of its stratum port, losing more than half of its hash rate. That's more profit for us solo'ers, right there.

Typically you download a RPM or .deb package for the CUDA toolkit from nvidia, and if there isn't one for Ubuntu 13.10, there may be one for 13.04 or 12.10 or 12.04 at least.  In my experience versions for older Ubuntu releases still run on more recent Ubuntu installations.  Installation requires root privileges.

If the driver shipping with the toolkit doesn't install easily (it requires installation from a text console, without the X server running and it needs linux kernel headers etc...), maybe try getting nvidia-331 with apt-get. There is a ppa repository called xorg-edgers (and another one called  X-Swat) which may have even more recent nvidia driver versions.

Good luck!

I think a lookup-gap will allow me to GPU mine even with N factors of 15,16,17,18 but the requirements on the number of CUDA cores will increase. You can always trade memory for more computation power (and extra electricity waste) - but at some point that power will become the bottleneck.

after running the cuda installer you should have ausr/local/cuda-5.5 folder and the ./configure script of cudaminer will hopefully run through.

There may be other required dependencies, such as libssl-dev, libcurl-dev, ...
