Call for support of fast NVIDIA NeoScrypt miner!

nicehash

Hi,

Keep on mining and support the devs! Make a donation for the release of much faster NeoScrpyt miner for NVIDIA GPUs: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1317772.0

p.s.: this should also be supported directly by the feathercoin maintainers/team.

Best regards,
NiceHash.

Through necessity the core FTC “team” (i.e. people doing some work for FTC) need to concentrate on the wallet and Feathercoind, which of course are used in mining. It also important to maintain a level of mining which makes it more expensive to attack than just mine …

I’m sure all FTC forum members are supportive of NIceHash’s efforts and great site. As Wellenreiter has said, FTC are small, but long term team, who are covering the basic tasks, such as, maintain the Wallet, Feathercoind development, compilation and download and a secure forum for “Community” discussion of FTC and related issues.

In other aspects, FTC has included multi-signature technology and highlighted other privacy technology which are necessary to maintain a distributed currency. We have in past and are currently still adjusting the forum and systems, to make FTC more of a DAO and moderate itself, or automatically reject spam etc, to reduce the need for human moderators…

All currencies with POW have relied on outside development of mining software and hardware such as ASICs and that is part of the original vision.

Sure thing you can support djm34’s CUDA miner, no problem with it. You can also support NSGminer to get the OpenCL support for NVIDIA and if it runs well, the CUDA support may be also developed. The UI part of NSGminer is more advanced, the protocol part allows solo and pool mining with no trouble. It’s up to the community to decide.

Thanks for that update on recent developments Ghostlander.

Hello here a repost from the pledge I am currently running on bitcointalk regarding faster neoscrypt kernel:
the donation target is 2.5btc and already 2.06btc has been collected so we are almost there. Please don’t hesitate to donate and support our development effort.

Hello,

I am about to release a new version of ccminer supporting neoscrypt, it is around 25% faster than the sp/pallas version compiled with cuda 6.5
and around 100% faster when compiled with cuda 7.5

This is a co-joint effort between myself and Nicehash which will contribute to the pledge as well

This means that it will be publicly available once the donation reach an amount of 2.5btc.

Donation will have to be made exclusively to that btc address: 16UoC4DmTz2pvhFvcfTQrzkPTrXkWijzXw
(careful it is a new address, not the old one, one should already consider that 0.1btc has been donated)

The goad for this pledge is of 2.5btc (included NiceHash contribution).
The pledge start now (obviously) and should end the January the 24th (ie 2weeks and half).

If the pledge is successful both windows and linux version (the source) of ccminer will become available.

If those 2.5btc target is met, then the miners will be released through NiceHash

Current speed of the miner:

The hashrate given in the image is for ccminer compiled with cuda 6.5, I am also planning to retune the miner with cuda 7.5
At the moment the hashrate for the 750ti is mostly unchanged while the 980’s lose around 40kh/s.

Thanks in advance for your participation. :smiley:
