Lower fees, SSL, failover, and ready pool presets.

1.1.8 lowers the dev fee on both algorithms and adds TLS (ssl://) pools, pool failover, a --help screen, and a full set of ready-to-run batch files for the major pools, over 1.1.7. Pearl and qhash mining and hashrate are unchanged.

Fees

  • Pearl (pearlhash): dev fee lowered from 3% to 2%.
  • QubitCoin (qhash): dev fee lowered from 2.5% to 1%.
  • The fee is stated openly and can be verified on your pool - more of your hashrate is credited to you.

Connection

  • TLS / SSL pools. Prefix a pool with ssl:// (e.g. --pool ssl://prl.kryptex.network:8048) to connect over an encrypted port. Handy where an ISP filters mining traffic.
  • Pool failover. Give --pool several comma-separated addresses (--pool main,backup); if a pool drops, the miner switches to the next and keeps mining. A single pool behaves exactly as before.
  • Pool URL schemes. forge now accepts stratum+tcp://, stratum+ssl://, tcp:// and stratum:// prefixes, so a config copied from a pool's site works as-is.
  • Help and version. forge --help lists every flag with examples; forge --version prints the version.

Pool presets

  • Ready batch files for the major pools, by region and transport (TCP and SSL where supported): Kryptex, HeroMiners, LuckyPool, AlphaPool and BaikalMine for Pearl; LuckyPool and k1pool for QubitCoin. Edit your wallet and run.
