v2.1.0

Recommended Update

This optional update introduces changes for both testnet and mainnet.

Summary

We've added the -testnetmining option, allowing easy switching of the bridge between networks. As new features will be rolled out in testnet over the coming months, you can also configure this option in config.yaml using testnet_mining:.

Lowered the default min_share_diff value from 64 to 4, as the variable difficulty (var_diff) system dynamically adjusts based on the miner's performance, making it more efficient to start with a lower value. Additionally, clarified the fallback mechanism where minDiff defaults to 0.1 if cfg.MinShareDiff is set to 0.

Changes

• add testnet mining support a94bd48
• bump version to v2.1.0 28ec11f
• fix possible varDiff issues and adjust default min_share_diff c23f179
• fix deprecated Node.js warning 4178aa4

v1.1.0 - Mighty Marlsen - Update 1

Stable release update 1 with the following features:

• Generate SHA256SUMS during release building process, after that they will be manually signed, and the detached signatures will be uploaded.
• Added stratum variable difficulty support which is enabled by default. Newly introduced configuration parameters are var_diff (default: true) and var_diff_stats (default: false). If var_diff is enabled, the min_share_diff (default: 64) is the starting difficulty.
• Hive template for SRBminer has been updated and documentation has been added to guide new users how to configure it.
• Non-supported miners have been removed from the documentation, once they will support karlsenhash they will be added in next release.
• Added support for Docker build from source rather than using pre-built images from Docker Hub.

Huge thanks to @rdugan for the initial vardiff support.
