Re: [ANN] cudaMiner - a new litecoin mining application [Windows/Linux]
Anyone here in my thread mining not just for fun, but seriously for profit as well? Having a farm of AMD cards in your garage or basement?
nVidia is looking to get in touch with miners to interview them about their expectations for mining related products. Just be aware that you would be helping nVidia with your information and not your favorite GPU manufacturer AMD
PM me with a brief summary of what you're mining and how and I can get you in touch.
Is this the reason you are keen on nvidia mining, if I may ask? Do you have expectations that they might surpass AMD on at least some aspects? nVidia is looking to get in touch with miners to interview them about their expectations for mining related products.

As someone stated above, I think the HC miners don't really care about the label they use, they just want performance, flexibility and stability. At least that's what I think.
Can I say for fun? I've always loved to build PCs from components.
I already knew CUDA and wanted to use my available hardware to the extent it was possible. OpenCL mining software would not do this - nVidia devices were a laughing stock. I used the early, promising cudaminer work as an excuse to upgrade my outdated hardware (dual GTX 260, and a GT 460). After the surprising LTC boom I invested in a ridiculously overpriced high-end nVidia mining rig purely as a proof of concept. Did not expect return of investment anytime soon. I improved cudaminer to drive the new rig with a weak CPU. I implemented other algorithms such as scrypt-jane to look for interesting profitability niches. I built a second rig and made a surprise hit with Keccak-hashing in Maxcoin (which paid for all the nVidia hardware several times over).
I am currently looking into expanding my second rig and await the upcoming Maxwell launch with great anticipation. Going to investigate the use of PCI express risers with nVidia cards also.
