      fix crash with monero and strided_index · 1c0ef154
      psychocrypt authored
      Strided index 1 is not allowed for cryptonight_v8 and monero.
      In the case the dev pool is set to monero and the user tuned there settings for
      an other currency the miner will crash if strided index or memChunk is not
      fitting the requirement to mine monero.
      This PR detects wrong configurations and will set strided index and memChunk to a valid
      value but only for cryptonight_v8. The user pool settings will only be changed if monero or
      cryptonight_v8 is selected.

      fix invalid shares · 8e1e7447
      psychocrypt authored
      With rocm we fighted very long with invalid shares. This is now solved with rocm 1.9 and
      this tiny fix.
      It is not fully clear where a memory optimization is kicking in and break the kernel `Groestl` if the variables `M` and `H` are not `volatile`.
      The performance ill not change with this fix.
      
      The fix is tested with rocm 1.9 with a VEGA64 and a RX570

      - introduce monero oct 2018 fork as currency `monero`
      - remove monero7
      - change all dev pools
        - those miner monero7 to handle the fork to monero
        - if the dev pool can not handle the fork to monero the currency is fixed set to `monero` (we can only handle 2 different currencies for user and dev pool)
      - remove guards those prevent to use the currency `monero`

      OpenCL: avoid out of memory access · 16da9886
      psychocrypt authored
      During the initialization of the compile parameter for OpenCL it could be that the
      fixed size buffer is to small. To avoid this we are now using `std::string`.
      There is no problem by using `std::string` because this part of code is not perfromance critical.

      fix nicehash `invalid results` · 77160cf1
      psychocrypt authored
      If the first bit of the nonce is `1` (this is very often if we use a nicehash pool)
      than it could be that some OpenCL implementations handle the 64bit representation of the 32bit
      nonce on the device side as signed integer.
      During a right bitshift we pull wrong ones from the wrong higher part of the 64bit
      nonce representation into the 32bit part of the nonce.
      The result will be that the computed share is invalid.
      
      - explicit cast the nonce on the device to `uint` to avoid any side effects

      unify cpu cryptonight implementations · 931bd5fe
      psychocrypt authored
      xmr-stak has several implementations for multi hash per thread.
      The results into 3 intepedent implementations.
      Each time the algorithm must be changed the possibility to introduce errors is very large.
      
      - unify the different cryptonight CPU implementations
      - simplify the function selection array to find the specilized cryptonight implementation
      - add a intermediat pointer to access the large state (similar to the old multi hash implementation)
      
      As side effect this change increases the speed of the single and multi hash algorithm.

      add independent dev pool coin description · 0877e2f6
      psychocrypt authored
      - allow the dev pool to fork on a different block version than the user descriped coin
      
      All algorithm are centered around the user coin description.
      It is allowed to have two two different coin algorithms in the user coin description.
      It is only allowed to use algorithms for the dev pool coin description those are used in the user coin description.
      There are two ways to define a non forking coin.
        - set both user coin algorithm descriptions to the same algorithm and set version to zero
        - set the first algorithm in the user coin description to something you like to use in the dev pool
          and set the second algorithm to the correct representation of the coin. Set the version to 255.
          This will allow that the dev pool can mine on a different coin algorithm than the not forking user coin.
          Do not use an algorithm with different scratchpad size for the dev pool.
