Scrypt-N and Scrypt-Jane

[vortec4800]

Here's a dumb question: are Scrypt-N and Scrypt-Jane the same thing, or are they different?

Different but accomplish the same goal which is to increase ASIC resistance. Neither is better than the other.

I know they are similar in purpose, was hoping I could use the same miner for the two.

Thanks for the info.

IIRC cgminer/cudaminer both support scrypt-N/scrypt-Jane, could be wrong though...

CUDAMiner has support for Scrypt-Jane but not Scrypt-N. CGMiner has support for neither.

The most optimized 'Jane AMD miner is the YACMiner.

from cudaminer readme:

This application is currently supporting
1) scrypt mining with N=1024 (LiteCoin and many, many clones)
2) scrypt-jane mining (Yacoin and several clones)
3) scrypt mining with larger N (VertCoin)
4) NEW: MaxCoin mining (SHA-3 i.e. Keccak256) <<< SEE MAXCOIN SPECIFICS SECTION

looks like scrypt N/jane is supported by cudaminer to me, unless I'm misunderstanding the readme. Looks like you're right though about cgminer, not all that surprising though seeing as how it dropped scrypt support.

I stand corrected on the Scrpyt-N.

The CUDAMiner dev is definitely working his tail off these days. He has done a ton within the last month even.
