Nicehashminer: Request: Enable SHA-3 algo for GPUs

Created on 23 Jul 2017 · 12Comments · Source: nicehash/NiceHashMiner

Hi! Just a request. I've been experimenting with Awesome Miner and the NiceHash service and noticed that Awesome Miner switches to SHA-3 algo from time to time, giving good profits (higher than ClaymoreDual). Is there a chance that it could be enabled in NHML for the next version? I'm using nVidia GPUs.

AM is calling CcMiner SP-mod 1.5.81 for this algo.

Only reason I'm using AM right now is because of this.

Thanks for posting! It looks more profitable for me too on 1080 Tis, I'll look into getting this in an update ASAP.

After tweaking hashrates values and using the same ones provided by NHML benchmarks, SHA-3 is definitely more profitable than ClaymoreDual. I manually benchmarked keccak with ccminer.

Nice yes dont see a reason Keccak couldnt be enabled since it is supported for AMD and Nvidia GPUs and already using ccminer as part of the build (just needs added)

Also on the profitability page https://www.nicehash.com/?p=calc Keccak scores will need to be added (at least when I looked for Nvidia 1080 Ti GTX
