New sgminer 5.1.0 fork with Yescrypt Support Available

sgminer-5-1-0-yescrypt

You can now mine GlobalBoost-Y (BSTY) with AMD-based video cards thanks to a new fork of sgminer 5.1.0 from djm34 that adds support for Yescrypt (source) and we have compiled a windows binary that will allow you to try it out. The windows binary is compiled for x86, so it should work on wider range of systems using 32-bit or 64-bit Windows. Do note that Yescrypt GPU mining is still in early stage, so it might be a bit buggy initially and further optimizations in performance should be possible as this is a preliminary work to port the algorithm to GPU support. The coin does seem to handle well high intensity, so you should start low with 9 for example, also lower worker size such as 32 and 512 threads could be a good start. We are seeing a performance of about 700 hashes per second on a non-overclocked AMD Radeon R9 280X GPU with the settings above, but you are welcome to experiment.

To download and try the sgminer 5.1.0 Yescrypt GPU miner for Windows OS…
