Shares improvements v1.2

This is a recommended update for all users (all algorithms/coins) Depending on several factors some shares were lost, this update fixes the issue. On machines affected by this issue it will reflect a slight increment of shares on the pool side.

Changelist:

• Stratum connection stability improved
• Bugfix: edge cases with lost shares
• Command line intensity -i and --intensity argument now works with X22i
• Algorithm name command argument now non-case sensitivity

SUQA and bugfixes v1.0

Changelist:

• New coin supported: SUQA (X22i algorithm). Experimental SUQA branch merged into official branch
• Print hashrate per GPU enabled by default. Added new --hide-hashrate-per-gpu to disable it
• Total amount of shares sent to stratum added to the debug-info message
• -T and --timeout argument added to setup stratum connection timeout
• Added cuckoo CPU verification when a cycle is found
• Bugfix: Selecting a subset of gpus with -d and setting --device-gpu-threads per gpu didn't work as expected
• Timeout added when waiting response from stratum when a share is found, --share-timeout argument from the command line is available to setup it
• SUQA improvements compared to experimental branch:
  • Some speed improvements
  • Some CUDA error issues fixed
  • Command line intensity -i and --intensity argument now works with X22i

Better GPU errors management v0.98

Updating to this version is recommended for people having any of the following issues:

• After mining properly for minutes or hours no new cycles are found, 0 cycles/s forever
• After mining properly for minutes or hours a extremelly high amount of cycles and/or graphs are found (not really)
• BitCash mining dies after about two minutes (using zjazz 0.96)

Changelist:

• Improved GPU errors checking
• Miner restarts automatically if GPUs are not working properly (0 cycles/s issue). This behavior can be disabled with --disable-restart-on-gpu-error If disabled, instead of auto-restarting itself it will quit.
• Improved stratum management
• New dump output to file feature. Use -L or --log-file followed by the name of the file

Users feedback - Improvements v0.97

• Bitcash 3Gb GPUs support on Windows
• Linux CUDA 9.1 and CUDA 9.2 binaries
• First API version: ccminer-like. summary, pool, gpus and quit functions available. -b/--api-bind
• List of failover pools added. Use multiple times -o (--url)
• GPU timeout feature added: Application quits if new blocks from stratum are received and GPUs are not mining. Timeout value can be set with --gpu-timeout
• Improved stats, show hashrate detailed per GPU with --hashrate-per-gpu
• --cuckoo-intensity 18 bugfix
• Added some debug info messages. --debug-info to enable them
• User friendly GPU memory errors presentation
• Set the number of threads per device --device-gpu-threads
• Hashrate reliable % message added
• Per line ok/ko state message added
• Force GPU processing to stop when connection with stratum server is lost
• Time to wait before reconnecting configurable: -R/--retry-pause parameter added

EthMonitoring compatible v0.971

This is a fast update from previous v0.97 with some API fixes and EthMonitoring compatibility.

• EthMonitoring compatible: --no-color treated as a valid parameter (ignored by the miner). It makes zjazz compatible with EthMonitoring when using the miner as ccminer API
• API summary/gpus incorrect hashrate bugfix
• API added threads function, better ccminer compatibilily (gpus and threads API functions do the same)
• API: Connected message only printed if --debug-info is enabled

3Gb GPUs v0.95

This release is recommended if you want to run zjazz with 3Gb cards. Otherwise, you can continue using v0.93, no need to update.

• 3Gb GPUS support: Cuckoo memory usage improved from 2.8Gb to 2.19Gb
• Cuda 9.1 dll included on Windows package: no more dll not found errors

BitCash v0.96

• New coin supported: BitCash
• New cuckoo experimental feature --cuckoo-intensity
• Official Linux release (previously only available from the experimental repository)
• Improved stratum management
• Added extra error messages and minor fixes

First release v0.93

• First release
• Cuckoo algorithm (MeritCoin)
