Back in 2016 when HOdlcoin was new, the dedicated early HOdler 'samsmith' dreamed of owning a Xeon Phi so he could mine faster. He bought a 7120 coprocessor card but I don't think he ever could get it working.

Tonight I managed to compile the miner on a Xeon Phi 7290 under Ubuntu 16.04.4 and achieved over 2,400H/s, which is faster than I used to get when I rented IBM's dual E5-2699v4 "bare metal" cloud servers at US$500/month.

So wherever you are sam, this one's for you.
