lolMiner 1.79

[Lolliedieb]

Changes

• Added Karlsen support for AMD RX 400, RX 500, RX Vega*, Radeon VII* and RX 5000 generation GPUs. This is for the stand alone solver only and not yet for RTH+KLS dual mining. * RX Vega and Radeon VII requiereing an OpenCL driver with version number 3261.0 or higher.
• Slightly improved Karlsen solvers for Nvidia GPUs by approximately 0.5 (Ampere) to 3 % (Pascal cards)

Fixes

• Fixed a bug causing FISHHASH-TESTNET solver not submitting shares to testnet server
• Fixed a bug causing 1.78 added dual mining codes to not start up on some Linux systems
• Fixed a bug causing multiple algorithms (RTH, NEXA, Radiant) not to start up on some systems in Windows
• Fixed a bug causing KLS solver to sometimes segmentation fault in Linux
• Fixed a bug causing AMD RDNA2 & RDNA3 cards to have low poolside Karlsen hashrate on older drivers. Hint: please update to drivers with OpenCL version above 3261.0 to get best possible performance out of your cards, cause the fix did cost a bit of raw speed.

Notes & Tips:

• If you see the miner re-tunes the dualmode very often, because of clock change, try to spot a good factor and fix it via --dualfactor
• The IRONDUAL dual mode does cost a lot of RETH performance on Nvidia cards. Therefore often the automatic tuning tunes it to 0. Therefore we advice to set a good for you --dualfactor on your own.
