Ive got the original Myriad-Groestl srcxxx github optimized files if anyone is interesting in forking them - basically changing the name (since theyre open source to begin with) and then posting it to github. Send me a PM if youre interested.
Hi HR, thank you for keeping us up to date with your stats. I will have a look on the original Myriad-Groestl srcxxx optimized bins. I thougt these bins only work on his pool. Maybe i can change this to get it work on every pool. Since difficulty is dropping again i could be profitable again to put a bit more power to my cards.
He originally developed two different optimized kernels that significantly increased hashrates over the previous sph-sgminer (
https://github.com/prettyhatemachine/sph-sgminer ). His miner, grs-sgminer, allowed you to use the "-k groestlcoin" switch on any pool, or the "-k optimized" switch that only worked on his pool.
My understanding is that he depreciated the github files for his original grs-sgminer that allowed you to use either switch. I could be mistaken though, but the idea that I have is that his current grs-sgminer only works with his proprietary "-k optimized" switch. If that's the case, then I think it would be interesting to fork his original grs-sgminer making available new installs once again that permit the use of any of the non-optimized kernels on any pool of the miner's choosing (grs-sgminer, using the "
-k myriadcoin-groestl" switch, more than doubles the hashrate of sph-sgminer with only about a 20% increase in electrical usage - not bad at all).

It was grs-sgminer's original "-k groestlcoin" kernel
that doubled sph-sgminer's hashrate,
not the "-k myriadcoin-groestl".
The "-k myriadcoin-groestl" kernel quadruples the original sph-sgminer's hashrate! (I even understated it to you DigiByte in the PM I sent by saying it tripled the hash rate . . . it's actually a quadruple!)
More specifically, with a 7950, sph-sgminer ran at about 5 Mh/s, grs-sgminer with -k groestlcoin at about 10 Mh/s, and grs-sgminer with -k myriadcoin-groestl has a hashrate of 20 Mh/s.
