BzMiner v5.0

Release v5.0 of BzMiner. All feedback is welcome ;)

What's in this release

• New Algorithm!

  • Kawpow (Ravencoin) mining for both AMD and Nvidia cards

• New (experimental) LHR Strategy:

  • Dual coin mining (ethash + kawpow)

• Multi coin mining is now supported:

  • Devices can now mine as many coins as they have room in their memory for the DAGs

• New config options:

  • "lock_config" : prevents BzMiner from writing to the config file
  • "log_solutions" : whether to log each solution found to the output
  • "auto_detect_lhr" : whether BzMiner should attempt to detect whether a card is LHR or not
  • "no_color" : if true, output will not have color. Some terminals show the color characters and can mess up the display
  • "dag_dev_ref" : Instead of generating the DAG, copy the DAG from another device. Nvidia only currently. useful for high oc's
  • "calc_dag_crc": whether the CRC should be calculated for the DAG or not. has an impact on DAG generation time

• Other updates:

  • Some stability fixes (and entirely new pool/device architecture)
  • API's updated to support new architecture
  • Removed Nvidia driver dependency
  • shortened pool status message
  • added ability to copy DAG from another device instead of generating it

• Bugs:

  • fixed miner not reporting hashrate to pool
  • realtime device clock speed reporting
  • fixed amd dag generation with many devices
  • rejected shares showing up as invalids

BzMiner v4.7

Release v4.7 of BzMiner. All feedback is welcome ;)

What's in this release

• Minor display updates:

  • pool and table device ordered the same way
  • added nc column config parameter to display settings, to turn off coloring of column values
  • changed device clock speeds to current real-time clock speeds (instead of default clock speeds)
  • fixed table header for long urls
  • shortened pool status message
  • LHR detection (currently no LHR bypass functionality, only detection)
  • added display config option hide_unused_devices which will hide devices that are set to not mine (start_mining: false in config file)

• Fixed issue with many devices on single rig

• updated some config defaults

• removed thrash and stales_ok config parameters (defaults work best in 99% of cases)

• does not replace config file with default config file if file exists

• detect invalid config file and use default settings (but do not replace config file. delete config file and re-run for bzminer to generate new config file with defaults)

• Added whether device is using Cuda or OpenCL to config column

        "date_align": 0, // table date alignment. 0 = left, 1 = center, 2 = right. default is 0 = left
        "show_devices": true, // show the devices table
        "devices_title_color": 7, // set the color of the devices table title
        "devices_border_color": 8, // set the color of the devices table border
        "devices_columns": "#,name:nw,cfg,free,total,core,mem,fan,pwr,temp", // which columns to show for devices table. supported list below
        "show_pool": true, // whether to show the pool tables
