MINERS
⛏ lolMiner v1.70
* Improved Nexa mining performance by 6 - 8% on all supported GPUs (except AMD Vega / VII).
* Improved power efficiency of Nexa mining.
* Due to recent problems we advice to use the miner with --dns-over-https 0 when connecting to an auto-location pool. Else the pool mirror you receive might not be ideal for your location.
⛏ BzMiner v13.4.0
* Improved nexa hashrate/efficiency
* Fixed nexa extra nonce rejected shares issue (affected pool137 but possibly other pools too)
* Fixed nexa stopped finding shares in some situations
* Fixed hung gpu on amd with +zil (and some other algos)
* Fixed some initial nexa and nexa+zil amd crashes
* Fixed radiant not setting extra nonce correctly on some pools
* Fixed radiant and kaspa amd driver issues
* Fixed Ergo rejected shares (not updating dag for new blocks)
* New nexa implementation may require new overclocks. If you experience hung gpu's, please re-adjust your oc's
⛏ Rigel v1.3.9
* (Nexa) Add --kernel parameter to switch between different nexapow implementations (see notes below)
* Some GPUs saw an efficiency drop in v1.3.8 compared to v1.3.7. This release allows opting in for 1.3.7 performance level by selecting kernel #2 for the affected GPUs.
Example: --kernel _,_,2,_ <- this will enable the "1.3.7 mode" for the third GPU. The rest will work as before (v1.3.8).
If all your GPUs were working better on 1.3.7, then it's sufficient to set --kernel 2, it'll apply to all cards.
⛏ miniZ v2.0c4
* Added support for ZMP. *
* Added --memoffset2, --coreoffset2, and --power2 options for setting OCs for ZIL dual mining.
* Added --zil-init option for miniZ to generate, and log, Zil dag at startup.
* Fixed issue with invalid shares with ZIL mining.
* Fixed issue with CFX + ZIL mining.
* Fixed issue with 150,5 invalid shares.
* Fixed issue with progpow invalid shares.
* For zmp support you can write --url=zmp://[email protected]

MINERS
⛏ Rigel v1.3.8
* (Nexa) performance improvements (mainly Turing, high-end Ampere, and Ada GPUs)
⛏ lolMiner v1.68
* Added Nexa support for AMD Vega / VII and RDNA 1-3 GPUs
* The parameter --keepfree can now be used to keep a certain amount of memory free on each GPU on Nexa mining. This might end up in allocating a smaller lookup table, so the GPU memory has space left for other workloads
* The --keepfree parameter is now working for each GPU separately. Use a comma separated list of values if you want to assign different values for each GPU.
* Nexa mining will now allocate memory for each GPU sequentially and delay later cards startup slightly to help systems with small virtual memory.
⛏ BzMiner v13.3.0
* Finally added AMD for nexa support!
* Fixed +zil on AMD
* Improved dual mining switching (+zil, alternate, optimized, and parallel mining)
* Now showing estimated time before next switch when alternate mining
⛏ Nanominer v3.7.7
* RDNA3 support

MINERS
⛏ lolMiner 1.68
* Significantly improved Nexa mining performance on supported GPUs (e.g. up to +25% on 8G Ampere GPUs)
* Fixed a bug that can make the miner crash with error message "Authorization problem on all configured pools 1" during Nexa mining
⛏ BzMiner v13.2.1
* Fixed zil window not mining
* Fixed nexa on 8gb cards
* Fixed some rejects on some nexa pools
* Fixed reconnects causing hang (never reconnecting)
* Fixed zil core offset not applied when nexa lock is specified
* Fixed neoxa, meowcoin, ravencoin invalid shares
* fixed hiveos crashing bz when mining rvn
* Fixed pool stat caryover after reconnects

MINERS
⛏ Rigel 1.3.7
* (Nexa) Minor performance improvements
* (Nexa) Echelon protocol support
* (UI) Display GPU efficiency information (hashrate per watt)
* Miner fails to lock core/memory clocks sometimes

MINERS
⛏ BzMiner v13.1.1
* Improved Nexa hashrate/efficiency (Nvidia, continued joint effort with Lolliedieb from lolMiner)
* Improved main algo hashrate when mining +zil
* Improved mining startup time
* Stats now carryover between pool reconnects
* Now showing watchdog restarts and pool reconnects
* Added enable_igpu option (--igpu 1 on cmdline). should fix some rigs that have igpus and immediately crash
* Added optional Nexa community fund (disabled by default, can enable using community_fund options)
* +zil stability fixes
* Fixed parallel/split mining for non optimized algos
* Fixed visual high latency bug
* Fixed oc switching with +zil in some cases
* Fixed ergo initialization failure (and failures on other algos)
* Fixed mining starting before oc is set on Nexa
* zil_wallet, zil_pool options fixed

⛏ SRBMiner-MULTI v2.1.0
* Added support for INTEL Alchemist architecture (INTEL ARC 300/500/700)
* ZIL is now mineable in any single/dual algorithm combination [triple mining]*
* Added ZIL parameters '--zil-enable', '--zil-pool', '--zil-wallet', '--zil-password', '--zil-esm', '--zil-epoch', '--zil-oc-script'
* Added ZIL OC parameters '--zil-cclock', '--zil-mclock', '--zil-coffset', '--zil-moffset', '--zil-plimit'
* Added auto buffer mode for ZIL mining*
* Added parameters '--disable-gpu-intel', '--gpu-disable-auto-buffer'
* Added OC parameters '--gpu-cclock1', '--gpu-mclock1', '--gpu-coffset1', '--gpu-moffset1', '--gpu-plimit1'
* Removed parameters '--gpu-ethash-dag-cache', '--a0-is-zil'
* Renamed parameters '--a0-start-script' to '--a0-oc-script' , '--a1-start-script' to '--a1-oc-script', '--start-script-delay' to '--oc-delay'
* Added '--esm 2' which indicates that 'EthereumStratum/1.0.0' + nicehash mode is used for communication with the pool*
* Allowed separator ',' (comma) which can be used as an alternative for the current '!' separator in all parameters except in '--password'
* Minor bug fixes
