PoCX v1.0.0 — Stable Release

The first stable release of PoCX, a next-generation Proof of Capacity framework. After 14 release candidates, the toolkit is production-ready.

PoCX provides everything needed for PoC mining: plot generation with CPU/GPU acceleration, multi-chain mining, plot verification, and a mock blockchain for testing — all with SIMD-optimized cryptography and cross-platform support.

Highlights:

• Full SIMD pipeline: SSE2, AVX, AVX2, AVX512, NEON
• GPU-accelerated plotting via OpenCL (dynamically loaded)
• Plotter v2 with ring scheduler for sustained throughput
• Mining aggregator/proxy for pool setups
• 8-platform binary releases
• All 10 crates published on crates.io

Pre-built binaries for all supported platforms.

Single Binary Design: OpenCL GPU acceleration is dynamically loaded at runtime.
The same binary works on systems with or without OpenCL installed.

Platforms:

• Linux x86_64 (glibc and musl builds)
• Linux ARM64 (glibc and musl builds)
• Android ARM64
• Windows x86_64
• macOS x86_64 / ARM64 (Apple Silicon)

Linux Compatibility Note:

• *-linux-musl builds are statically linked and work on any Linux distribution
• Use musl builds for maximum compatibility (Ubuntu 20.04+, Debian, Alpine, etc.)
• *-linux-gnu builds require glibc 2.39+ (Ubuntu 24.04+, Fedora 40+, Arch)

Binaries:

• pocx_miner - Mining client
• pocx_plotter - Plot file generator (GPU accelerated when OpenCL available)
• pocx_plotter_v2 - Next-gen plot file generator with ring scheduler
• pocx_verifier - Plot verification tool
• pocx_aggregator - Mining proxy/aggregator
• pocx_mockchain - Mock blockchain for testing

Configuration Files:

• miner_config.yaml - Miner configuration template
• aggregator_config.yaml - Aggregator configuration template
• mockchain_config.toml - Mockchain configuration template

Installation:

# Linux/macOS
tar -xzf pocx-*.tar.gz
