Release v21.1.1 of BzMiner. All feedback is welcome ;)

-- What's in this release (v21.1.1)

x Ironfish: working again x Warthog: improved verus hashrate x Warthog: showing share difficulty x Warthog: http api providing janus score per device x Other small updates NOTE: There were some fundamental changes to warthog's implementation, and not a lot of testing has been done on this version yet, so warthog is temporarily back in BETA mode in this release. Feel free to stay on the previous bzminer v21.0.3 if this version does not work well for you

Thanks Son of a Tech for the BC-250! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0WNX0de8I1fgKUrjxiPaRA

--- Dynex Notes ---

• Fine tuning dynex_pow_ratio will likely give you better results than default settings
• intensity option will adjust how much vram is allowed to be used
• Intel ARC support still only for POW

-- 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)

-- Known Issues

• AMD polaris cards (eg. rx470, rx580) may not work with rethereum right now. Looking into this soon
• Only AMD opencl driver 21.50.2 and higher is currently supported, so update your amd driver if you run into opencl errors
• If you run into issues allocating larger Nexa LUT on Nvidia cards, please update Nvidia drivers
• Nvidia driver 530 - 535 have a bug that reports wrong clock frequencies. oc's should still be applied correctly. Please update to very latest nvidia driver (535 or higher) which appears to have fixed this bug
• If Nvidia memory temps are not showing, please update to latest nvidia driver
• Nexa is not working on Intel currently

NOTE: Nexa development is continued joint effort with Lolliedieb from lolMiner
