Re: [ANN][DCR] Decred - Hybrid PoW/PoS | btcsuite Devs | Tons of New Features | Go
Very interesting project, unfortunate that Nvidia miners are not getting the same love as AMD
Do we need to crowd fund to get something valid released?
Maybe we just do not have enough Nvidia miners to Justify our existence.

Really, you're not being as picked on as it seems - CUDA is great when it comes to more complex algos, or algos that can benefit from Nvidia-specific optimizations that the compiler is unable to find by itself, but this is not the case for Decred. Really, you're talking about a minor bump I would guess, at most. The algo is dead simple - I've made the miner a few percent faster on AMD - but we're talking single digit percentages... and low digits. The Nvidia OpenCL compiler would really have a hard time fucking it up.
@wolf I tried the cgminer & ccminer both & they give me
970 1.52 GH/s on ccminer & 1.11GH/s on cgminer
750ti 530MH/s in ccminer & 431 MH/s on cgminer
so there is 75-80% loss in hashrate. Also as i remember, ccminer was running at much lower TDP% as shown in Afterburner, ~80% while cgminer was using 98-100% power. Considering all this i think there is a big disadvantage & some potential for optimizing ccminer for decred, unless the modification required for decred somehow lower the hashrate. But i guess ccminer devs are too busy taking potshots at each other, so we will have to make do with what we have or wait for decred team to release something.
Dude, of COURSE there is. That's 8 round Blake, this is 14 round Blake. Try to understand what the PoW is before benchmarking.
Since 14 is 75% more than 8... you're DEAD ON.
Customer is king. If he wants more hashes, give him more hashes. Let that cunt aim the original cgminer at some Blake256 scamcoin and he'll get more hashes.
Nice, a pool is already up. Rented some hashes to test but pool (suprnova) doesn't seem to work. Probably because it's some new algo, right? It's hard for a pool to implement new features, but i'm sure you will get it done before launch.
You cannot rent hashes for this algo yet.
Suprnova is working perfectly fine
I remember us having a beef about your pools. Lets hope you don't fuck up this time ok chap?
And please provide rentals else it's unfair to the people without GPU-rigs.
