I think it does x11@8.4MHASH with sp-private #5. gigabyte windforce. And quark@18.4MHASH. lyra2v2@10.5MHASH

I get 18.5 quark on a EVGA 970 with +100 OC with the FOS version. Hard to justify paying .1 BTC. How much are
you holding back in your super-private version?

I guess my private #5 will do do 19 mhash on the same clocks. But you also get a boost in x11,x13,x15,nist5,lya2v2,neoscrypt. 0.1 btc is nothing. Alot if hard work to reach these kernal speeds.

I appreciate the hard work, I've done a lot in the past couple of months. I know a lot of it has been
cut & paste but there is original work also. But hard work doesn't sell a product.

For the 3% increase you are offering one would need 3 970s to break even. That would give 9%
increase for 10% of the price of a 970 compared to 100% increase for 100% of the price of a 970.
I'm not big enough yet.

exactly joblo ...

which is why if you had multiple cards - it would be well worth the effort to put in ... a single card user will ALWAYS find it hard to break even on a monetary level - which is why i have ALWAYS worked on my version of 'profitability' - not the current version everyone works off by converting back over to btc then fiat ...

in any case - you have done a HUGE amount of work with the cpuminer as well - and i would like to discuss a few things with you if possible on that end ... if possible anyway ...

i have purchased the versions ( notice plural ) of the private miners - and it has worked out very well ...

now my move has been done and i am in the unpacking and settling period - thefarm is down and i cannot mine with it unless i set it all up in the house ... not gonna happen! ...

but with regards to the purchase and breaking even - it took me about 25days to break even using thefarm and sps private miner - and thats because i have paid much more than the 0.1btc ( for multiversions and linux ) depending on what miner was running at the time ... but the average of 25days is NOT including electricity and rent for the property thefarm was in ... this is based on JUST the cost of the private miners ...

so i can say only this much ... if thefarm took almost a month to break even on 'just' the cost of the miners - and i paid much more than 0.1btc ... then the smaller miners with a few cards would break even in a much smaller period of time - and continue to make coin ( dcr or otherwise ) if the mining continued ... how much time that would take? ... i can only speculate ... but at the moment - mining versus 'profitability' ( the common version - not mine ) - this is the more 'profitable' time to mine than it was only two months ago ...

unfortunately for me - im missing out on that also until i can find a new home for thefarm ... and that looks like it wont happen for at least another few weeks ...

im much more interested in quark optimization - as im leaning more towards the change of algo to quark on granite ( grn ) and ozziecoin ( ozc ) from x11 ...
