x Warthog: Slight verus optimization
x Fixed dynex on AMD MI50 and VII cards
x New option: cpu_affinity
x Renamed warthog_cpu_threads
to cpu_threads
x Renamed warthog_unused_cpu_offset
to cpu_threads_start_offset
x Added additional command line options for choosing which algorithm each device mines
x Added additional config.txt options (for HiveOS) to allow for more than 3 algorithms
x Added summary table when more than 1 algorithm is mining. To disable use the "summary_table" option
x Fixed warthog pool extranonce ignoring extranonces with leading 0's
x Fixed verus on octominer cpus
x Fixed verus on multi-socket cpus
x janushash can be used instead of specifying warthog for algo name
x see notes below for details on these options
Available in both command line and config.txt
can be a single value, or multiple values
eg. command line:
--cpu_affinity FFFFFFFF FFFFFFFF
eg. config.txt:
"cpu_affinity": ["FFFFFFFF", "FFFFFFFF"]
if dual mining, make sure that the indexes of the option match the cpu algorithms, for example if dual mining ironfish and warthog, and ironfish is specified first (which has no cpu component), you would do something like this:
"cpu_affinity": ["", "FFFFFFFF"]
You may also just specify a single string that all cpu algorithms will use
"cpu_affinity": "FFFFFFFF"
if cpu_affinity is specified, cpu_threads and cpu_threads_start_offset are ignored, as both of these are inherently defined in the affinity hex mask
cpu_threads and cpu_threads_start_offset:
Renamed these options to be more general across all bz's CPU algorithms. if these are set to 0 and affinity is not specified, bz will attempt to use as many threads as possible, minus 1 or 2 threads depending on how many logical processors are available, this is for stability, as using all available threads can cause the system to lag
"algo_override" - list of algorithm names to mine
"url_override" - list of urls for each algorithm (this can be multi-dimensional for backup urls, just make sure entire value is in double quotes)
"wallet_override": list of wallets for each algorithm
"workername_override": list of worker names for each algorithm
"password_override": list of pool passwords for each algorithm
"pool_override": list of devices to mine each algorithm. this can be a multi-dimensional array. (make sure full value in double quotes)
"intensity": list of intensities for each algorithm (per device). this can be a multi-dimensional array. (make sure full value in double quotes)
example HiveOS extra config arguments (6 algorithms, first two devices dual mining (notice the [0,2] and [1,2], meaning first device will mine karlsen+warthog and second device will mine ironfish+warthog):

--- Dynex Notes ---
-- dynex_pow_ratio -- Bz allows you to dedicate individual cards to either POW or POUW on Dynex using this option.
This is an array of values, one for each gpu
In config.txt , an example for 3 gpus would be "dynex_pow_ratio": [1.0, 1.0, 1.0]
In command line, and example for 3 gpus would be --dynex_pow_ratio 1.0 1.0 1.0
In hive, extra config args (notice the quotes around the array), an example for 3 gpus would be "dynex_pow_ratio": "[1.0, 1.0, 1.0]"
A value of 0.0 will mine ONLY POUW
A value of 1.0 (Default) will mine both POUW and POW. It will choose a POW ratio that matches POUW
A value of 2.0 will fully mine only POW. Any value higher than 1.0 will not mine POUW
A value between 0.0 and 1.0 will determine how much POW is mined, values closer to 1.0 will mine POW more intensely, while values closer to 0.0 will mine POW less intensely
A value between 1.0 and 2.0 will determine how intensely to mine ONLY POW
A statistic in the status column of the tables called "pow slip" will show you how much POW hashrate above or below the POUW hashrate you are doing. If below (-), you should increase your pow hashrate. If above, you are wasting resources doing unecessary POW hashrate and you should lower your POW hashrate. NOTE: It is not possible to be rewarded for POW hashrate above your POUW hashrate!
-- Dynex intensity -- The "intensity" option in Bz will determine how much vram to utilize to mine Dynex. a value of 64 (highest), will use all available ram, a value of 1 will use the minimum amount of ram. Default is 0 (converts to 64 internally)
