New Version 0.2.2
UI: report submitted devfee-shares

Submitted devfee-shares are marked with a "*" like this:

Code:
>  GPU0 Sol/s: 720.2  Avg: 720.2  I/s: 386.9  Shares/s: 0.900  +++++++++*

Usually I won't upload a new version for such small changes. This one is an exception, since it's important for some users.

So far performance has been pretty good compared to EWBF. Reported pool hashrate is at about what I expect. Using this on 3 1080Ti rigs. It's stable so I don't have any complaints. I personally don't need miners to have an API as I prefer monitoring the pool API for workers and submitted shares. But for more people to start using this, it obviously needs a Windows version and an API to integrate into multi-miner/external programs, as well as something better such as higher hashrate or lower fee, etc..

New Version 0.3                                                                                                        
                                                                                                                              
con: support encrypted connections                                                                                        
                                                                                                                              
You can establish an encrypted connections to your pool by prefixing the hostname with 'ssl://' - e.g. ssl://mypool.com. Pls. check if your pool supports encrypted connections first and make sure you have set the right port for it.                      
                                                                                                                              
Encrypted connections are important for some users to protect their account and mining information especially if they put their rigs into untrusted environments such as data centers - so it's here now.

What about compiling openssl into the miner or bundling libcrypto.so.1.1 and libssl.so.1.1 in the tarball?

I'm not sure about openssl's licence currently, so I didn't linked it statically because of this. But yes, you're right, I'll come up with an easier to use version for Ubuntu users later.

Updated version 0.3
- Version 0.3 uses openssl-1.0 now

There is no need for ubuntu users to compile openssl-1.1.0 now.

Windows ver?

I'll start working on it shortly.
First I want to stabilize on internal design and features.

Please add --log option.
Temp. target would be a great idea.

testing now with 170x GTX 1060 (270h/s each with powerlimit 80W)

thanks

Concerning temp target, I'm working on a pid-controller for temperature.
Currently the output is designed such that's easy to parse for humans. I was thinking about a more verbose output for logfiles, not sure what's actually important for miners.

Using SSL with flypool has been no problem. CPU usage wasn't substantial on a Pentium with 6 GPUs but this could help on 10+ GPU rigs.

Don't forget, it reduces overall power consumption Wink

I'm waiting for window's version. I think it could be compete with EWBF's tool.

Actually Windows is the wrong OS for doing GPGPU.
Nobody does it usually for several reasons.

However since it was requested several times, I'll start working on a windows version shortly.
I wanna first stabilize the internal design, sry for the windows delay.

Will the hashrate be able to be increased in the future or is this about the best it's going to get?

It's pretty well optimized currently. However the hardware is still not on it's theoretical limits. I have some more ideas I want to test later. I don't have access to testing hardware this week, I hope to be able to buy some GPUs soon, this should improve the development.

Since I've read it multiple time now.... Smiley There seems to be a confusion with terms here. Some people are speaking about 'hashrate'. In the case of equihash - we are solving the generalized birthday problem, and produce solutions to it. So it's more accurate to speak about the solutionrate, we are not producing any hashes, this is why it's abbreviated as 'Sol/s' int the output. In case it's interesting for someone Smiley
