Hi all, just pushed a new release - finally supporting the Beam hard for coming in 3 days

(and fixed a bug with the stratum)
Changes of 0.8.6 over 0.8.5- Added support the BEAM hard fork on block 321321 (approx July 15th), read below about the usage
- Fixed a bug with the BEAM stratum back end in case of formatted job descriptions (e.g. new Nicehash platform)
Note about the BEAM hard fork usageThere are now 3 parameters for mining BEAM, --coin BEAM-I, --coin BEAM-II and --coin BEAM
- Use BEAM-I for mining the current / old BEAM proof of work that is valid until the hard fork.
- Use BEAM-II for mining the new BEAM proof of work that is valid from the hard fork.
- Use BEAM for an automatic switcher between the two PoWs. This mode will detect the height and the fork height and will automatically switch over on the right block. Note that this requires the pool to send at least the height. On startup the miner will detect if the pool is compatible to the automatic switcher and display a message if all is fine.
The message is colored in command line: green - in this case the new PoW is guarantied to be supported; yellow - the height is send so the miner can switch over, but its uncertain if the new PoW is implemented; red - the pool does not send the required information.
In the last case the miner will show the message and then quit after 10 seconds. In this case select the right PoW manually with BEAM-I or BEAM-II. When at least the height is send, the miner will start mining in automatic mode.

Can You add an AUTO96_5 parameter?
Well won't be too complicated - what project is also on standard 96/5? I was requested to make it generally changeable - will look through my codes and allow it where its applicable.
hi bro. please add grimm support. lolminer is best with amd mining

Will likely allow the change of the pers-string for Beam Hash I with 0.8.7 release (in about a week).
Thanks for the tip, I downloaded 0.6 and it indeed works, although like 15-20% slower
Shit, was not aware GENX got a problem - will check this and fix with 0.8.7
