Release v14.2.1 of BzMiner. All feedback is welcome ;)

-- What's in this release (v14.2.1)

  • Improved Ironfish hashrate
  • Improved dual Octa + Ironfish hashrate
  • Added show_pending option to see shares that were found but have not received a response from the pool
  • Fixed dual +Ironfish percentages
  • Fixed rejected shares on ethstratum protocol for ethw, etc, and octa

NOTE: Currently the improved Ironfish hashrate is not supported while solo mining. This will be addressed in an upcoming update

-- What's in this release (v14.2.0)

  • Significantly improved Ironfish hashrate/efficiency
  • Improved Radiant efficiency/hashrate
  • Improved Nexa efficiency/hashrate
  • New Coin: Octa
  • New dual options: Octa + Ironfish, Octa + Kaspa, Octa + Radiant, Octa + Alph
  • Showing difficulty of solutions found for ethw, etc, octa, zil, radiant, ironfish, and kaspa
  • Cleaned up some log outputs
  • Reduced dual mining rejected shares
  • Fixed +zil stability issues
  • Fixed autofan overcompensating on some cards (resulting in bouncy speeds)
  • Fixed ramp_up feature
  • Fixed some windows stability issues
  • Fixed crashing on exit

NOTE: Nexa development is continued joint effort with Lolliedieb from lolMiner

NOTE: Nvidia driver 530 and higher has a bug that reports wrong clock frequencies. oc's should still be applied correctly

NOTE: Some people have been having issues with the latest version of hive running BzMiner. It seem to possibly be related to older than 30 series Nvidia cards. If you experience BzMiner freezing when it starts, and your on the latest hive update, currently the only fix is to roll back to a previous Hive version. Currently looking into this
