- enforce server target dl
- support custom html headers (hpool support)
- error messages improved in case of an outage
- fixed a bug for 32bit versions where a wrong capacity has been reported
v.1.7.2
v.1.7.0
Scavenger - PoCC's Burstcoin reference Miner for Linux/Unix/Windows/MacOs/Android (32&64bit).
It offers:
- SSE2, AVX, AVX2, AVX512F and NEON support
- OpenCL GPU support
- DirectIO
changelog:
- back to rust stable toolchain for most platforms (use 'rustup default stable' to change your toolchain when compiling). Arm version only builds on nightly.
- updated all dependencies
- fixed a race condition for fast blocks
- added GPU async mode (transfer data to GPU and hash async)
- optimized thread handling: reduced the number of threads, CPU tasks now spawn on a threadpool. GPU threads can be reduced to a minimum. Recommendation: integrated GPU: 1 thread, dedicated GPU 2-4 threads. GPU mining needs less GPU Ram and startup time is faster.
- Run "scavenger - o" to hint the ideal gpu_nonce_per_cache multiplier for maximum occupancy.
- NB for dedicated GPU's: The speed of you GPU mainly depends on your PCIe speed. The GPU mining bottleneck is not computation but data transfer. Make sure your card is set for PCIe-16x and expect speeds around 10GB/s (1050 TI and higher).
- removed multi-chain switch

- DirectIO
changelog:
- back to rust stable toolchain (use 'rustup default stable' to change your toolchain when compiling)
- multi-chain switch
v.1.6.6

It offers:
- SSE2, AVX, AVX2, AVX512F and NEON support
- OpenCL GPU support
- DirectIO
changelog:
- fixed the handling of forks
- optionally define a target dl per numeric_id
v.1.6.4 Mali OpenCL bugfix release
Scavenger - PoCC's Burstcoin reference Miner for Linux/Unix/Windows/MacOs/Android (32&64bit).
It offers:
- SSE2, AVX, AVX2, AVX512F and NEON support
