T-Rex - 0.15.7

Usage
T-Rex supports command line arguments similar to that of ccminer:
kawpow:
Code:
t-rex -a kawpow -o stratum+tcp://us.rvn.minermore.com:4501 -u <wallet> -p x
MTP:
Code:
t-rex -a mtp -o stratum+tcp://xzc.2miners.com:8080 -u <wallet> -p x

To get the full list of supported options run:
Code:
t-rex -h


Dev fee
Dev fee is set to 1% (3% for Tensority). When the miner starts and stops mining dev fee it reports it to the console output.

Release notes
0.15.7
Bug fixes:
* (KAWPOW) "kawpow validation failed" rejects (especially on high intensity and low difficulty)
* Use %HOSTNAME%, %USER% environment variables in parameters or config file

0.15.4
Bug fixes:
* Miner name/version not shown at some pools

0.15.3
* Add algorithms: kawpow (upcoming RVN fork), progpow, mtp-tcr
* Add SNI support for SSL
* Improve stat table (now showing percentage of rejected shares)

0.14.6
Bug fixes:
* (Windows) High CPU usage on NVIDIA drivers 431+
* (Linux) SSL connections not working on HiveOS
* (Linux) "T-Rex instance wasn't validated" error despite firewall allowing all connections
* CUDA 9.1/9.2 versions of the miner will no longer work with RTX (Compute Capability 7.5+) cards
This is done because RTX cards either hash slower or don't work correctly (depending on the algo) on these versions, producing "result for ... does not validate on CPU" errors. Use the version built with CUDA 10.0 instead.

0.14.4
* Add x16rv2 algorithm (upcoming RVN fork)
* Add ability to auto-switch mining algorithm using new --fork-at parameter:
RVN fork: --fork-at x16rv2=2019-10-01T16:00:00
See the help file for more details

Default network timeout increased from 3 to 5 minutes
New parameter --hide-date to hide date part of the timestamp in the console
Prevent Windows from going to sleep mode while T-Rex is running

Bug fixes:
"does not validate on CPU" error on RTX cards (CUDA 10 builds)
Long dev fee sessions if system clock "jumps"
GPUs keep hashing even if the pool connection is lost

1) New parameter --ab-indexing to enable Afterburner-like GPU indexing
2) Web-monitoring page enhancements

Bug fixes:
CentOS 7 compatibility issue

Watchdog lets you update T-Rex using the monitoring web page or perform auto-updates if launched with "--autoupdate" parameter, and also restarts the miner if it hangs for any reason.

Add functionality to return to the main pool after mining on failover ones (see --back-to-main-pool-sec launch parameter)
Handle client.reconnect stratum messages (used by MiningRigRentals)
Handle clean jobs stratum flag correctly (resulting in fewer stale jobs) - this feature is supported by coinblockers.com
Add file handler to API. Allows to create custom files in miner directory via API.
Add functionality to keep your failover pools separately in a config file. May be helpful if you need to load pools from file. (t-rex -c pools.json -a x16r <your parameters>)

Bug fixes
Remove assert on NULL rpath in Linux.
Fix average hashrate reporting when using large -N values.

0.7.2
Added algo: x22i
Note: if the miner crashes on x22i, decrease your overclock, the algorithm is quite "unstable"
