*** MAJOR CHANGES AHEAD ***

  • Application can now mine scrypt, N-Scrypt, and scrypt-chacha based coins
  • The command-line options for setting the algorithm have changed!
    --scrypt - Mine scrypt based coins
    --scrypt-chacha (this is the equivilant of what --scrypt used to do!)
    --nscrypt - Mine N-Scrypt based coins (vertcoin)
  • Scrypt and N-Scrypt have different kernels. You can use the N-Scrypt
    kernel for mining Scrypt if you like by passing "--kernel nscrypt" on
    the command line. The converse does not work though.
  • buffer-size is now fully completed, and thread concurrency is no longer
    needed. thread-concurrency is still a valid option if you want to use it.
  • Implemented new defaults if you do not provide a buffer-size or
    thread-concurrency. It will attempt to allocate 88% of the GPU memory.
  • lookup-gap now defaults to 4 if it is not set.
  • W/U is back on the hashmeter at the top of the curses display
  • Rejected count is now the number of rejected shares instead of the value
    of the sum of all the rejected shares
  • Fixed OpenCL 1.2+ patch regarding BFI_INT patch still being done.
  • cleanup code and extraneous files in project.
  • More updates to the readme.md and scrypt-readme for further documentation.
