Re: [ANN] cudaMiner - a new litecoin mining application [Windows/Linux]
Why is YAC suddenly deemed "dead"?
Everyone has an opinion
I'm actually buying hardware specifically for YAC at this time. Beave162 and I have been tweaking and tuning for a few weeks now. Returns have been good so far - the coin is slightly undervalued right now, so everyone is being advised to hold them Difficulty is also dropping as some miners seem to be searching for alternatives. Meaning that you can expect more YAC per day with the same hardware.
Out of curiosity: what hardware did you select for optimal YAC mining? In my opinion, GTX 660Ti cards are pretty solid scrypt-jane miners at a good price/performance point.
My current setup are the R7 250's with 2GB I've mentioned numerous times previously. We've found that the R7 240's with 4GB actually outperform them by about 15% even with a lower clockrate and lower numbers of shaders. This is attributed to the larger memory size allowing for a more aggressive workload. I don't think we've even found their best performance settings yet as we're still trying various combinations. ~2 accepted shares per minute per card for $100 vs ~1.7 for the 250's.
