Re: [ANN] sgminer v5 - new unified multi-algorithm on-the-fly kernel switching miner
Humm. I'm not sure why I'm showing you this, maybe because I have something to brag and I like bragging.
I made some small optimizations on the Wolf's neoscrypt kernel. Now it does 430khs on 280x, 450khs on r9 290, and 260khs on r9 270.
I'm thinking what I should do with this. There's no point to release this to public as this would just make net hashrate rocket and everyone would still get the same profit.
Either release it for free, or bury it and never release it.
Optomizing the kernel and skyrocketing the hashrate by releasing it does nothing but allow cards to get what they should really be getting anyway.
Burying it changes nothing.
Selling it, simply makes people that can't afford to buy it because of the low ROI on GPU's angry with you, and the whales that can afford to spread the ROI across many GPU's get fatter.
Also makes devs poorer. Just saying.
Selling it responsibly can be good for everyone involved - don't be a dick and sell a 10x faster miner, release most of it slowly, and sell one that's around 2x faster. That way, the public isn't too far behind.
Program it into a miner and have the miner auto donate 1%.. Easy enough. Level playing field AND you get coin.
