Xrig is a high performance cryptonight miner for AMD cards. It is optimized for large-scale use of RX Vega and sets out to fix all the shenanigans of mining on these cards, but will run well on any AMD card.

Gpu mining part is based on xmrstak.

FEATURES:
* CryptoNightV7
* High performance
* Designed for large-scale use of RX Vega, but will run any AMD card
* High level of automation necessary for managing many cards
* Rich API
* Hardware monitoring (fans, temperature, clock speeds, performance levels)
* OverdriveN capabilities (set your under/overclock profile in config.json - replaces Wattman and OverdriveNTool)
* Fixes the different shenanigans of mining on the Vega's (e.g. the "underclock toggle" and gpu reset)
* Windows and Linux support
* Pre-compiled binary has 1% dev donation

WORK-IN-PROGRESS:
* Sumokoin pow change
* Kernel optimizations
* Option(s) for automatic fine-tuning of each individual card during mining. This should maximize the utilization of each card and increase the hashrate over time
