LBRY Credits LBC Mining Algorithm
Basic implementation of the Veltor algorithm with. Mining the LBRY Credits (LBC). Get to mining LBRY Credits however you should be all set.
Mining LBRY Credits (LBC) Using CPU an AMD GPU is a new blockchain-based decentralized content-sharing platform geared towards content creators (filmmakers, musicians, writer, or software developers) who want to have full control over their own work. There are no ads, no corporate censors, and LBRY takes no portion of your income as a content creator and consumers can also benefit as there is finally an alternative to the big media stores. It has been in development for a while, but just recently it was launched in Beta, though you still need to request an invitation in order to be able to get early access. The LBRY network uses its own crypto token called LBRY Credits (LBC) that you can already mine, even if you still have not received your early access to the platform for the moment (while waiting to get it).
Not to mention that there is also an operational market for LBRY Credits on Bittrex, so that you can also trade them when you mine some. Innitially mining was only possible with a CPU miner released by bitbandi () with compiled Windows binaries by the miner author available.The CPU miner however is not very useful anymore as a GPU miner has been released shortly after in the form of an sgminer 5.4.0 forked to support the algorithm used by LBRY ( ) that is much faster, you can find a downloadable 64-bit Windows binary release below that you can try if you are interested. Do note that the sgminer for LBRY currently works only on AMD GPUs, but with this big interest we are hopefully also going to soon see a GPU miner for Nvidia GPUs as well. There are already two mining pools available with more probably to follow, the first one was made available by Suprnova (not yet updated for the difficulty adjustment of the GPU miner and the GPU miner can provide lower hashrate as a result) and the second one is by Pool.mn that already adjusts difficulty for the significantly higher hashrate of GPUs.
How Mine Nexus NXS Faster. A quick update with a new Windows binary compiled from the latest ccMiner 1.8.3-git fork from tpruvot () with some improvement in the LBRY mining performance based on Alexis Provos work and basic implementation of the Veltor algorithm with some other minor fixes. The release below includes two versions of ccMiner, one is 32-bit binary for Windows that is compiled with CUDA 7.5 and with support for Compute 2.0 or newer Nvidia GPUs, and another that is 64-bit Windows binary compiled with CUDA 7.5 for Compute 3.5 or newer Nvidia GPUs. We have tried compiling the 32-bit version of ccminer with CUDA 6.5, but the resulting version did have some issues with LBRY, so we have compiled with 7.5 as well and it worked fine.
Tpruvot has made an official release of his updated ccMiner fork () version 1.8.1 along with Windows x86 and x64 binaries available for download. The x86 Windows binary is compiled with VS2013 and CUDA 8.0 RC and the x64 binary is compiled with CUDA 7.5, it is best to use the latest video drivers to have support for CUDA 8.0. The new ccMiner 1.8.1 adds support for mining Siacoin (SC) on Nvidia GPUs using CUDA, SIA uses Blake2-B algorithm, though at the moment different pools still seem to rely on different protocols for mining and not all of them are yet supported by ccMiner. The miner supports the SIA Nanopool RPC (getwork over http) as well as the getwork over Stratum implementation of Suprnova, but not yet the Siaminingpool stratum protocol (you should still be able to mine there via getwork).
The hashrate seems to be slightly better than that that uses OpenCL and also works on Nvidia GPUs. The new version 1.8.1 also comes with small improvement in the LBRY hashrate improvements (by alexis78) over the previous. So if you are mining LBC with Nvidia GPUs, then you might wan to update to the new release in order to get slightly better hashrate.
The Lyra2RE support has also been updated with the with the Nanashi Meiyo-Meijin improvements, so it should be faster than before. While is still in Beta and you need to request an invitation in order to be able to get early access to the platform (currently only available for Mac OSX and Linux), people have been via the dedicated sgminer fork or on CPU, but today tpruvot has updated his ccMiner fork () with the final 1.8 release that adds support for LBRY Credits mining on Nvidia GPUs as well. We have compiled a Windows binary of the latest ccMiner 1.8 source code from github and you can download and try it for mining LBC from the link below. It is a 32-bit Windows binary compiled with VS2013 using CUDA 7.5 for Compute 2.0 to Compute 5.2 Nvidia GPUs, though it also works on Nvidia Pascal GPUs. We are going to be testing the miner with different CUDA versions to see if there is a better working combination and if we find such we are going to update the binary. If you are in a hurry to get to mining LBRY Credits however you should be all set to start with this release and enjoy the good performance that Nvidia GPUs provide for this algorithm.
Below is a quick benchmark with a few Nvidia GPUs using this Windows binary as an idea to what you can expect in terms of hashrate for mining LBRY Credits. Mining hashrate for LBRY Credits: – GTX 970 – 127 MHS – GTX 980 Ti – 156 MHS – GTX 1070 – 242 MHS – GTX 1080 – 313 MHS –.
