Release BzMiner v8.0.0 · bzminer/bzminer

Release v8.0.0 of BzMiner. All feedback is welcome ;)

What's in this release

• New coin: Kaspa (with experimental pool support)
• Lower Alephium Dev Fee (now 0.5%)
• Higher Alephium effective hashrate
• New Dual mine options (parallel, alternating, dag only). Alternating mining allows oc per algo
• New CLI option
  • --version - show BzMiner version
  • --avg_hr_ms - how long hashrate averaging should be (default is 30000 ms)
• New config options
  • multi_mine_ms - array of timings for alternate mining (used to be lhr_mine_ms)
  • multi_mine_type - 0 = Parallel, 1 = Alternate (can oc per algo), 2 = Mine only during DAG generation
• oc_ options can now be strings of a json array (to get around Hive OS not able to parse valid multi-dimensional arrays)
• Bug fixes
  • Fixed issue with nvrtc and nvml missing preventing gpus from mining
  • Disable edit mode in windows console (was causing miner to pause when clicked by accident)
  • AMD Polaris and Vega metrics now work on windows
  • Fixed auto protocol detection
  • Some pools getting duplicate worker name
  • Fixed dual mining Ethash taking a very long time to generate DAG (oc is reset while dag is generating)
  • Fixed global oc options to take precedence over device override options
  • oc's are not applied to disabled devices
  • Fixed poolside hashrate including rejected shares
  • Fixed potential crash when pool is not able to be connected to
