Version 2.2.0

UPDATE: CNI corporate revoked their v2.2.0 release just late today so I am doing the same for Machinaris until they get their bugs fixed.

Changed

• Optionally launch of Gigahorse recompute server when in harvester mode if env var gigahorse_recompute_server=true is set.
• Fix for Bladebit GPU plotting jobs taking a minute to display on Plotting page on job start. Should now be seconds only.

Updated

Updated

• Chia to v2.1.2 - misc improvements, see their release notes.
• Gigahorse to v2.1.1.giga25 with C20 compression support.
• Flask to v3.0.0 - serves up the Machinaris WebUI.

Notes

• Regression in Chia binaries (since v2.0.0) ignoring the "-y" parameter on plotnft changes, has broken pool join/leave thru WebUI.

Version 2.1.0

Updated

• Chia to v2.1.0 - misc improvements, see their release notes.

Version 2.0.0

Added

• Request a new plot check, via 'Recheck' button added to Check results dialog on Farming page.
• Optionally exclude certain plot directories from replotting check to free disk space. Useful for drives only partially dedicated to holding plots.

Changed

• Deprecated stale blockchains, by hiding them from Worker wizards: BPX, N-Chain, Silicoin, Stor

Updated

• Bladebit to 3.0.0.
• Cactus to v2.0.0
• Chia to v2.0.0.

• HDDCoin to 3.0.0 based on Chia 1.8.2.
• MMX to v0.10.6.
• Wheat to v1.8.2.

Notes

• Reading CNI release notes from their betas, it seems they recommend to generate a brand-new config.yaml to add all their new settings. So please perform a blockchain config reset, if you will be farming compressed plots.

Good day, Machinaris v1.8.2 is now available:
