Description
This implements the miner with support for both variants of block difficulty function on the GPU.
It also substantially refactors the miner infrastructure, using an abstract interface for multiple miner implementations for generating proof-of-work for both blocks and addresses.
Additionally, it modifies the existing miner interfaces to indicate that no valid nonce could be found, and to eventually allow cancelling an ongoing mining task once the network has already decided on a result (although there is not yet any code to make use of this functionality).
There are a total of three miner implementations:
This requires a number of additional development libraries to be installed in order to be built. On Debian-based systems, the following command should suffice:
sudo apt install libglfw3-dev libxrandr-dev libxinerama-dev libxcursor-dev libxi-devChangelog
