BzMiner v11.0.2

07.09.2022

Release v11.0.2 of BzMiner. All feedback is welcome ;)

What's in this release

  • New coin: Ergo (0.5% dev fee)

  • New coin: Neoxa (0.5% dev fee)

  • New dual: Ergo + Kaspa (Nvidia only)

  • Improved Kaspa AMD performance (AMD, THANKS WOLF!)

  • Improved Overall AMD performance on all algos

  • Replaced kawpow with rvn. (kawpow still works for backwards compatibility)

  • Now supports both Kaspa pool protocols (and still solo mining)

  • Network stability updates

  • Updated tbs_watchdog to support time since last share rather than based on estimated tbs

    • by default, will use est. tbs percentage before watchdog is triggered (value of 100 would be 100x ext before watchdog is triggered)
    • appending s, m, h, or d will result in tbs only triggering after no shares found for specified amount of time
    • eg. "tbs_watchdog": "2.5m" will cause tbs watchdog to trigger if no shares found for 2.5 minutes
  • Updated uptime format (removed seconds)

  • Updated status column, put LHR in parenthesis

  • Added tsls column option, time since last share

  • Reset overclocks on exit

  • Added opencl_workgroup_size option

  • Added console inputs:

    • Esc : Shutdown BzMiner
    • Space : Refresh console output
    • Arrow Keys : Adjust intensity (up/down first algo, left/right second algo)
  • Fixed system time change causing mainloop to not respond

  • Fixed multi mining issue with reconnecting one pool causes all pools to reconnect

  • Fixed extra nonce issue on some algos

  • Fixed BzMiner exit sequence

  • EXPERIMENTAL: Timings (very experimental, and probably buggy)

    • Replaced log_device_timings with advanced_device_timings
    • Shows timings table (Nvidia Only)
    • Some timings may be incorrect, this will be fixed in a future release
    • stores timings in config.txt in device_overrides
    • Can set all timings by setting set_timings to true. THIS MAY NOT WORK! (only works for nvidia 10 series currently, but working on later cards!)
    • Example output:
"timings": {
    "set_timings": true,
    "rc": 98,
    "ras": 61,
    "rcdrd": 39,
    "rcdwr": 31,
    "faw": 20,
    "rp": 37,
    "wr": 40,
    "cl": 31,
    "ccdl": 3,
    "ccds": 2,
    "ref": 4,
    "rrd": 5
}
