Hi JK hope all is well; I just compiled 2.5 with VS17 and CUDA 10.
Guys just so you know compiling this miner isn't really difficult. You will learn alot just by compiling it yourself. I did this and I have 0 coding or programming experience.
I used these as guides to compile. Anyways 2.5 is working but you will notice a slight drop in hash rate most likely due to the new algo. Make sure to update before 10/18!
