Miner Release: This update is mainly targeted to miners. Pool operators do not need to update.

This update provides a boost for mining found by Whosoup. The boost amount is machine-dependent. I'd appreciate feedback from the users.

The new miner has a few options that can be used to tune/tweak the miner. Changing these should vary your hashrate, and you can search for the optimal parameters of your machine.

  • --seq=true will put the miner back into it's old mode of hashing. This removes the hash boost code, as it might not benefit cpu's with small caches.
  • --bs=128 changes the batch size to 128. The batch refers to how many parallel hashes to do at a time. This variable likely depends on your cpu cache size, and should be tuned. The default is 512, but that may change.
