Hi all, I've been in discussions with a couple of very talented OpenCL (AMD) and Cuda (Nvidia) developers who both think there are decent optimisations to be had from spending some time on existing mining software.
Both have done similar projects for other coins, and, lets just say there was a large gap in the reward vs effort spent on these optimisations. There was a bit of reluctance from both developers to spend huge amounts of time on this.
So I thought about a crowd funding exercise, similar to the way we've funded other projects which have been of benefit to the DRK community.
How many of you would be interested in showing a little support with some DRK, along side myself, to give a nice boost to both AMD and Nvidia mining for x11? In a similar fashion to the Kristov Atlas review, the more we can raise, the more time can be spent on this exercise.
Nothing formal has been set-up at this stage, I'm really just gauging people's appetites for improvements on the mining software, if we all think this is a good idea I'll set-up an address and we can get the ball rolling.
