stability improvement

• attempt to solve problem with 6+ gpu's on 2 core/thread cpu's
• force the miner to crash in case of a loss of correction (this was removed in the previous version as the problem had been solved, however, it appears some issues may remain).
  therefore in case it happens again, the miner will crash so it can be restarted in a loop

improved stability

• solved issue which were causing lost of connection and/or connection with pool.
• no more crash when this happens either.

performance:

2080ti gets now 5.5MH/s

1080ti 3.55MH/s
3.9MH/s with OhGodAPill

1070 at 2.5MH/s

improved hashrate for 20xx video cards

• improved hashrate for 20x
  2080ti gets now 5.5MH/s

1070 at 2.5MH/s (+100kh/s)

1080ti 3.55MH/s
3.9MH/s (+300kh/s) with OhGodAPill

• temporary fix to connection problems:
  when this happens, the miner will exist so it can be restarted with a loop in bat file or script
  example for windows (see also bat file attached to that release)

:loop
x64\Release\ccminer -a mtp -o stratum+tcp://zcoin.mintpond.com:3000 -u aChWVb8CpgajadpLmiwDZvZaKizQgHxfh5.worker -p 0,strict,verbose,d=1500 -i 16 -d 0,1
goto loop

implement a non mandatory donation system (default 0.25% 1 share over 400)
This donation can be turned off by using --no-donation flag
%age donated can be changed by using flag --donation N (in per cent)

mtp with speed bump

• correct issue with scratchpad size which was much larger than required

1070 at 2.5MH/s (+100kh/s)

speed bump

this is a test release. only windows binaries are provided for now

• top speed on 1080Ti funder edition: 3500kh/s (3690kh/s with OhGodAPill)
• top speed on 1070 : 2400kh/s

ccminer with MTP

• adjust default intensity to 20
• fix stratum difficulty
• fix share difficulty
• fix block difficulty

ccminer with MTP

• fix issues when compiling with linux for the new solo mining setup
• fix target size in kernel, the target was too small and was letting pass solutions which were bigger than the target (leading to "does not validate on CPU" message
• adjust timing at which hashrate is shown when solo mining

fix solo mining

• create a new setup for solo mining different of the one of pool mining.
• add hashrate report in solo mining
• increase default difficulty to 21
