• Renamed column option miner mh to miner_hr
• Renamed column option pool mh to pool_hr
• Fixed duplicate shares on large rigs

What's in this release (v11.0.3 Hotfix)

• Fixed dual Kaspa duplicate shares
• Fixed Ergo on AMD taking too long to generate DAG
• Fixed empty worker name not using a default
• Lowered default time for hung gpu, hung_gpu_ms
• Fixed Rejeced shares watchdog
• Added oc_reset_on_exit option
• Added --nc 1 to all script files (do not write to config by default)
• Fixed BzMiner exit taking too long

What's in this release

• New coin: Ergo (0.5% dev fee)

• New coin: Neoxa (0.5% dev fee)

• New dual: Ergo + Kaspa (Nvidia only)

• Improved Kaspa AMD performance (AMD, THANKS WOLF!)

• Improved Overall AMD performance on all algos

• Replaced kawpow with rvn. (kawpow still works for backwards compatibility)

• Now supports both Kaspa pool protocols (and still solo mining)

• Network stability updates

• Updated tbs_watchdog to support time since last share rather than based on estimated tbs

  • by default, will use est. tbs percentage before watchdog is triggered (value of 100 would be 100x ext before watchdog is triggered)
  • appending s, m, h, or d will result in tbs only triggering after no shares found for specified amount of time
  • eg. "tbs_watchdog": "2.5m" will cause tbs watchdog to trigger if no shares found for 2.5 minutes

• Updated uptime format (removed seconds)

• Updated status column, put LHR in parenthesis

• Added tsls column option, time since last share

• Reset overclocks on exit

• Added opencl_workgroup_size option

• Added console inputs:

  • Esc : Shutdown BzMiner
  • Space : Refresh console output
  • Arrow Keys : Adjust intensity (up/down first algo, left/right second algo)

• Fixed system time change causing mainloop to not respond

• Fixed multi mining issue with reconnecting one pool causes all pools to reconnect

• Fixed extra nonce issue on some algos

• Fixed BzMiner exit sequence

• EXPERIMENTAL: Timings (very experimental, and probably buggy)

  • Replaced log_device_timings with advanced_device_timings
  • Shows timings table (Nvidia Only)
  • Some timings may be incorrect, this will be fixed in a future release
  • stores timings in config.txt in device_overrides
  • Can set all timings by setting set_timings to true. THIS MAY NOT WORK! (only works for nvidia 10 series currently, but working on later cards!)
  • Example output:

"timings": {
    "set_timings": true,
    "rc": 98,
    "ras": 61,
    "rcdrd": 39,
    "rcdwr": 31,
    "faw": 20,
    "rp": 37,
    "wr": 40,
    "cl": 31,
    "ccdl": 3,
    "ccds": 2,
    "ref": 4,
    "rrd": 5
