kept old lyra2RE for coins still using it (careful the original lyra2
had a bug, this one is corrected only in the new version)
implemented next_diff trick for pools
Moved the develop code to master. Moving forward all updates will be
done on master unless it's work on a major feature.
This update contains all previous develop code as well as a few new ones
that weren't pushed yet:
* Added neoscrypt compatibility for xintensity/rawintensity
* Neoscrypt now uses correct TC if not specified or set to 0
* Reworked the application of pool settings on algorithm switch which
should resolve TC/Intensity changes between algos such as X11 and
neoscrypt
Added X14 and cleaned up the X13/X15 kernels so all 3 offshoots are in
sync. New option "--hamsi-short" or "hamsi-short":true to add a small
boost. May not work on all GPUs.
Updated Algorithm switcher to change on pool rather than on algorithm.
This way if, for example, 2 pools use the same algorithm but different
GPU settings, the settings will be applied when changing pool.
Additionally:
* Included a "common" algorithm type in API pool/profile listing. For
example using "marucoin-mod" will return "X13", "darkcoin-mod" will
return "X11", scrypt + nfactor != 10 will return "NScrypt", etc...
* Added "kernel" config option to be backwards compatible with other
miners' configs.
* Added a few algorithm aliases: x11mod -> darkcoin-mod, x13mod ->
marucoin-mod...
* New config keyword: "includes", which holds an array of include files.
This is to counter the JSON limitation not allowing multiple values with
the same name, thus preventing inclusion of multiple files.
Also squashed:
config: add log messages to set_algo() and set_nfactor().
algorithm: use set_algorithm_nfactor() when setting default nfactor in set_algorithm().
Otherwise algorithm->n defaults to 0.
P.S. Did I already mention how this could have been C++?..
Had two bugs:
1. Will not compile due to unknown algorithm_t size.
2. nfactor is set to 0 (bad calling, fix later).
So squashed two commits:
1. algorithm: move algorithm_t definition to header.
2. config: if --nfactor is specified, properly set algorithm->nfactor.
Doc in `doc/configuration.md` (has to be started sometime, no?).
Configuration function has to be lamely-named set_algo(), because
set_algorithm() is already declared in algorithm.h (prevent namespace
conflict).
algorithm has to be added as global variable due to the way the
callback is done (by CCAN/opt, which in itself is nice).
This can be cleaned up significantly by (at least) introducing a
global configuration struct, but there is no reason to do it now
just for this - better a wholesale manana.
