The king is dead, long live the king!

XMR-Stak is now supporting CPU, AMD and NVIDIA GPUs in a unified miner.

Our new repository is https://github.com/fireice-uk/xmr-stak/releases

Please use our new miner, the old version is retired and unsupported.

Major polish and some speed improvements.

We (myself and psychocrypt) are proud to bring you yet another xmr-stak-cpu release! Big thanks to everyone who donates either hashrate or xmr as you enable the continuing support of this miner.

New features:

• Speed boost in low_power_mode
• Keccak optimisation giving a very small boost all around
• JSON API for automating monitoring of your miners
• Daemon mode to work around decreased hashrate when running in the background on Linux
• Manual AES override (useful for VMs)
• NUMA support (will make the miner faster on servers)
• Much smarter config suggestion

Changes:

• Donation level is now 2% to support the work that psychocrypt is doing

Fixes:

• Result errors were counted twice under some circumstances

Antivirus / browser warnings
Unfortunately some bot herders point their botnets to download miners directly from github, which leads them to be flagged by antivirus software. If you want to use the pre-built binaries, you might need to add them as an exception in your antivirus. Another way to prevent antivirus flagging is to compile the code yourself.

If you don't know if you need TLS support, go with -notls version.

DOH! Release

This release is a quick fix for three issues we identified:

• An outdated guard in config that didn't let you use double mode without AES even though the miner can do that now.
• Previous release was packaged with an outdated config.txt
• CMake scripts referred to amd not cpu

Easier config comes to CPU! Better hashing method selection.

This is my first collaborative CPU release with psychocrypt. Here are the highlights:

New features:

• Easier config - the miner will now suggest a config appropriate for your setup.
• Much better cmake build script - see readme for build options
• Better hashing method selection allowing more flexibility - want double hashing with prefetch without aes? No problem!
• Speed boost for miners that cannot configure large pages.

Fixes:

• Memory leak (thanks esfomeado!)
• Bug affecting systems with 32+ cpus on Windows (thanks malafaya!)

If you don't know if you need TLS support, go with -notls version.

New stack version v1.0.1

Changes:

• New option to print hashrate automatically
• More accurate pool ping time
• CPU feature detection by jquesnelle - it won't crash, but you will get an error.

Fixes:

• Bottom numbers in the hashrate report are displayed correctly now

Thanks to dimecoin for helping me with improving OS-specific large page guides.

First release

Network stack and hashing logic are versioned separately. A new network stack with the same hashing code would be versioned 'v1.0.0-2.0.0'

Windows binary release is included below.

If you get missing dll errors, please download and install MSVC Runtime.
