Release v8.1.4 of BzMiner. All feedback is welcome ;)

What's in this release (v8.1.4 Hotfix)

• Fixed invalid shares when solo mining Kaspa (Thanks geezar & Dmitry!)

What's in this release (v8.1.2)

• LHR Engaged Notification
• Increased tbs precision
• Notify of unsupported Nvidia Driver
• Added support for Kaspa node >=11.15 protocol
• Olhash/Kaspa mining pauses when pool/node requests or is not synced
• Kaspa template script default wallet includes "kaspa:"
• Bug Fixes
  • Command line "pool" option not updating "pool" config variable
  • AMD/Nvidia only causing crash
  • Locked clocks command argument not overriding config option

What's in this release (v8.1.1)

• Accurate LHR detection
• Showing Cuda, Nvidia Driver, and AMD Driver version
• Notify of unsupported Nvidia Driver
• Distinguish between Hung GPU (overclock) and Cuda/AMD errors
• Fixed intensity (and other configs) priority order
• Only connect to failsafe pool on reconnect if current pool was not already connected
• Bug Fixes
  • Fixed auto protocol detection bug
  • EthProxy not connecting to some pools
  • EthStratum extra nonce (causing rejected shares)

What's in this release (v8.1.0)

• Added Nvidia GPU memory temperature monitoring for Linux
• Slight improvement to Ethereum and Ethereum Classic hashrate
• Improved ethash DAG generation for high overclocked cards

What's in this release (Hotfix v8.0.1)

• Kaspa pool support (https://kaspa.acc-pool.pw)
• Slight improvement to Kaspa Nvidia 30 series hashrate
• Added 2% Kaspa dev team fee
• Added support for Ubuntu 16.04
• Parallel Dual Mining by default
• Added "multi_mine_type" option to command line
• Fixed AMD RX 50 series invalid instruction error for Kaspa
• Fixed hung gpu BzMiner restart option
• Fixed Linux Cuda mixed dependency issue

What's in this release (v8.0.0)

• New coin: Kaspa (with experimental pool support)
• Lower Alephium Dev Fee (now 0.5%)
• Higher Alephium effective hashrate
• New Dual mine options (parallel, alternating, dag only). Alternating mining allows oc per algo
• New CLI option
  • --version - show BzMiner version
  • --avg_hr_ms - how long hashrate averaging should be (default is 30000 ms)
• New config options
  • multi_mine_ms - array of timings for alternate mining (used to be lhr_mine_ms)
  • multi_mine_type - 0 = Parallel, 1 = Alternate (can oc per algo), 2 = Mine only during DAG generation
• oc_ options can now be strings of a json array (to get around Hive OS not able to parse valid multi-dimensional arrays)
• Bug fixes
  • Fixed issue with nvrtc and nvml missing preventing gpus from mining
  • Disable edit mode in windows console (was causing miner to pause when clicked by accident)
  • AMD Polaris and Vega metrics now work on windows
  • Fixed auto protocol detection
  • Some pools getting duplicate worker name
  • Fixed dual mining Ethash taking a very long time to generate DAG (oc is reset while dag is generating)
  • Fixed global oc options to take precedence over device override options
  • oc's are not applied to disabled devices
  • Fixed poolside hashrate including rejected shares
  • Fixed potential crash when pool is not able to be connected to

NOTE: Requires either latest NVIDIA Drivers or use _cuda_tk downloads

• BzMiner requires Nvidia drivers supporting Cuda 11.5 or greater (Nvidia driver >= 495.29.05)
• BzMiner cuda_tk requires Nvidia drivers supporting Cuda 11.2 or greater (Nvidia driver >= 460.27.03)

Downloads

• bzminer_v8.1.4_windows.zip includes the CLI for windows
• bzminer_v8.1.4_linux.tar.gz includes the CLI for Linux

Use the cuda_tk version of BzMiner for linux if you do not want to install Cuda. Requires Nvidia driver 4.95 or higher

• bzminer_v8.1.4_linux_cuda_tk.tar.gz includes the CLI for Linux
