SWARM.1.6.6

1.6.6

This is a beta version.

1.6.6 is linux version. Windows not finished yet. Needed to get a patch for bugs out asap.
use 1.6.5.

FRESH INSTALL MANDATORY
Linux Version ONLY

-Wrote small help article for AMD users in help files.

-Fixed Clamore -Platform issue (AMD)

-Added argument -OnboardCard. Default is no. Specify Yes if
using amd and rocm-smi detects integrated card. Quick fix
will find better fix in near future

-re-wrote config folder. config now contains miner control
files in json format. Adding commands, difficulty, oc
and pre-start commands are now done there. Updates
in future will be planned to no longer cause any loss of
user data.

-added install git for CPU compiling.

-Fixed $RAW=0 placement to prevent double stacking of
hashrates, when total API failure occurs.

-Converted all config files to json for future use.

-Changed all miner files for new OC tuning.

-Changed stats file to come before miner launch.

-Ensured background agent is started before -delay
so users can specify delay for OC tuning.

-OC tuning is now launched in their own screens.
OC_NVIDIA is for NVIDIA
OC_AMD is for AMD
This prevents lockup of any of SWARM's processes
And lets users check for oc issues.

-Miners now lauch from one single script, made
on demand: startup.sh.

-trex updated, x22i added.

Disclaimers:

If AMD mining has issues, remember there is an -AMDPlatform argument, to specify your platform.

Updates are safe.

Then copy your settings over after update. They will be DELETED if you set
-Update "Yes"
All WildRig miner files were changed. Make copies of files before updating!
Then copy your settings over after update. They will be DELETED if you set
-Update "Yes"
Naming folder will not transfer over: Algos were added.

-Changed TRex version in update.

-Removed hashrate 0 on certain pools
-I want to support smaller pools
-Some smaller pools have different algos

-CCMiner API attempted fix:
-Attempted fix of ccminer

Then copy your settings over after update. They will be DELETED if you set
-Update "Yes"
All T-Rex miner files were changed. Make copies of files before updating!
Then copy your settings over after update. They will be DELETED if you set

-Fixed Dual Mining For HiveOS (Stats)
-Forgot to push cpu export for XMR-Stak- Pushed Now. XMR-CPU should work.
-Added New Feature To Timeout System:
Strike outs reset to 0 if miner hasn't ran in last hour.
It still is previously set to reset strikes if a good benchmark occurs.

-fixed get-pool.txt to exclude algos not listed.

-new t-rex added.

-Added kill process to screen shutdown
-hopefully will stop processes that don't shutdown
when background miner screen changes.

-Default -Rejections changed to 50%

-Added Case-Specific Additions to Hashrate Arrays
-Will assist with multi-platform dual mining

-benchmark command now has the following additions:
-benchmark will remove backup hashrates of algo
-benchmark will remove backup power of algo
"-benchmark timeout"
will clear all pool/algo bans

SWARM.1.6.3

1.6.3

Note: first miner that starts is usually dagger on nlpool. It doesn't work (pool issue). I leave it in miner in case it does start working. It's also a good test on new strikeout system.

If miner starts, and there is no hashrates on dagger- That is why. Don't be dissuaded by it.

-Added Stak-CPU
-Cryptonight miner for cpu (includes v8)

-Improved Strikeout System
-Less chance of incorrect Strike
-fixed small Typos

-hs_units
-fixed typo causing KHS to stat for hs_units

-less chance of 0.00 hashrates for benchmark.
-no negative rejections

-SGminer
-api changed
-prioritized api to get RAW for SWARM first
-less chance of timeouts

-clear hash log
-no incorrect hashrates
-this may increase chance of timeouts depending on miner load

-fixed typo with benchmark
-benchmark and interval should work correctly.

-fixed benchmark command
-benchmark should now erase bans correctly.

-nicehash pool
-Stat_Algo parameter will now work
-Stat_Algo default is live

-start of integrating excavator into SWARM
-not functional

-fixed windows version
-some better stat work
-ensured paths are correct

-updated wiki
-added strike system
-added windows version details

SWARM.1.6.2

Disclaimers:

Dagger does not work on NLPool- leaving it miner regardless in case it does. It's
a good test for new timeout system.
This is mainly update for NVIDIA, and small bug fixes. AMD update coming soon.
Some miner files were changed, so was stat system. Probably ideal to fresh install.
CryptoDredge did not release a cuda 10.0 version of his miner
only cuda 9.1 and 9.2. If you use -cuda 10 and want to use
his new miner- You have to manually update.
CryptoDredge was updated.
Cnv2 added for NVIDIA
To reset bans- run benchmark [algorithm]

-Found Bug preventing miner startup on windows- fixed.

-New Argument -Rejections
-Default is 20 (Do not need to specify if you like 20)
-Rejections is the amount of % rejections in order to consider a bad benchmark/strike
-Only flaw to this system, is if rejections are too high: It deletes stat
and forces benchmarking, so pool ban can be enforced.
-Higher the number, the lower chance of enforcement. 100 is maximum.

-New Strike system for benchmarking
-miner no longer sets any stat to 0
-results in more accurate stats.
-strike 1: Notifications
-strike 2: Algorithm ban on said pool
-strike 3: Algorithm ban across all pools
-resets every [x] hours where [x] is -timeout argument

-Ensure stats are cleared before each miner
-prevents cross stat contamination

-Stats will default to 1.000 on HiveOS
-allows user to know miner is running,
but API is awaiting stats.

-Watchdog does not closes down main program (hiveos)
-prevents shutdown of new restarted instance

-Changed ccminer api
-reduces chances of timeouts on SWARM.
-background first gets summary for total HashRates.
-background then tries to get threads.

SWARM.1.6.1

1.6.1

HiveOS users- Install as you would normally.
Windows Users- Download .zip file, extract, modify .bat file- Run. After connected- Rocket Launch Miner as if you would running HiveOS version (this starts a flight sheet for stats).

Disclaimers:
-WattOMeter feature causes increased load. Use with discretion with multiple platform use.
-OCTuning feature causes increased driver load. Use with discretion with multiple platform use.
-New Core Program! Front end looks same, backend totally different!
-I have read that using the method to oc tune I use on windows side +
msi afterburner will cause crashes.
-I was having stability issues with NVIDIA miners on windows side-
100% positive it was the miners themselves. I haven't used windows in awhile for tuning them.
-Set a shortcut to startup, and miner will restart at reboot.
-Last rebooot time for windows may be wrong (will fix).
-Load is by % on windows.
-Platform Windows argument must be specified.
-Did not do API for lolminer- Have no pool to test it.
-Cryptodredge threads API for me was timing out a lot. If you experience the same-
message developer.

-Added -AMDPlatform argument. Internally set at 1. If you have issues- try 0
-Divided up main core program into smaller functions for smoother runtime.
-Added difficulty parameter to miner files.
-Changed logdata screen to 'background'
-background screen shows relevant stat information going to hive (like agent-screen).
-Miner automatically parses -GPUDevices(1,2,3)
-Removed all other -Devices arguments, they are now depreciated
-Not all AMD miners will work with -GPUDevices: They're flawed design, not mine.

move to "unix" folder to use.
-Added xmr-stack for AMD.

SGMINERS:
-Other than Avermore are not plug and play. I moved the other sgminer into "project" folder
Move back to use
-Other SGMiners may require the modification of Build > Unix > Hive > startupamd.sh to use
-Other SGMiners do NOT work for all AMD cards. See their github/bitcointalk thread.
-Other SGMiners may require a knowledge/expertise of sgminers to use.
-Depending on your system, you may need to compile these sgminers yourself
-Please DEAR GOD someone find an sgminer dev that knows how linux work!
-My Github is filled with sgminers I had to repair to work in unix environment. They work
For My RX580- I can't make any gurantees they work for other cards. That's why I moved them
Out Of Main Folder

XMRig:
-In order to properly parse stats --Nocpu argument was use. HiveOS custom miners
do not allow for stats of multiple platforms.
