MVis-tokenminer 2.3.0

Release notes

Improvements for Solo Miners:

• Support for EIP-155 transactions (replay protection via chain id)

• Support for EIP-1559 transactions, which involves a new gas pricing model introduced with the London hard fork. To support that, a new section has been added to the INI file:

  [Gas]
  
  ; All settings in this section can be changed 'on the fly' (without having
  ; to restart the miner).
  
  ; set to true to send EIP-1559 style transactions when minting. set to false to 
  ; use old-style legacy transactions.
  EIP1559=true
  
  ; priority fee (miner tip) to use for mint transactions, in gwei. Only used for EIP-1559 transactions.
  MaxPriorityFee=1.5
  
  ; max gas price in gwei.  for EIP-1559 transactions this is the MaxFeePerGas setting. for 
  ; legacy transactions this can be used to put an upper limit on gas oracle recommendations.
  MaxFee=
  
  ; LEGACY transactions only: gas price to use for mint transactions, in gwei. 
  ; You can also specify "oracle" to use recommended gas price from web3.eth.getGasPrice
  GasPrice=oracle
  

Mining Pool URLs (and 3rd party nodes)

When specifying the mining pool URL, or the URL of your node, the host name and port number all go on the same line. This makes it easy to use some 3rd party nodes, such as Infura, which typically don't require a port number as part of the URL.

OLD FORMAT:

[Node]
Host=http://mvis.ca
RPCPort=8080
; StratumPort=8090

NEW FORMAT:

[Node]
Host=http://mvis.ca:8080

; Set this to true if the mining pool supports stratum protocol.
; Currently only https://mvis.ca does, on port 8090.
Stratum=false

; the RPCPort and StratumPort entries are no longer used
