if you provide source and everything, i don't see the issue with being newbie, would be good to start your thread, i see that your first work is on bitcore right?
Bitcore was my first try with github, I'm kinda newbie in CUDA developement, to be true, I haven't written single CUDA kernel from scratch, for me it's easier (and much more faster) to mod existing open-sourced code (or at least try to do it). It's more like self-educational hobby for me, not business, in Equihash particular case I won't release source at that moment, I've implemented some thread-synchronization tricks that can be unstable in long perspective and give wrong results, so I need testers with different equipment
My cheers go to tpruvot, who keeps ccminer up-to-date, he makes 99.9% of work, I'm just another shitty dev digging his code.
