Hi everyone,

I want to introduce a new open source miner based on the avermore miner. It supports x16r/x16s/x17/xevan/tribus/aergo algoritms. All list of the optimizatins you could see on github by release changelog or by the commits.

Speed for sgminer-kl 1.0.9:
x16r / x16s average hashrate:
Vega64: 18.6 MH/s

x17 hashrate:
Vega64: 20.4 MH/s

phi hashrate:
Vega64 33.5 MH/s (-w 256)

tribus hashrate:
Vega64 88.6  MH/s (-w 256)

polytimos hashrate:
Vega64 40.0 MH/s

geek hashrate:
Vega64 29.2 MH/s

aergo hashrate:
Vega64 7.0 MH/s

c11 hashrate:
Vega64 22.6 MH/s

skunk hashrate:
Vega64 52.5 MH/s (-w 256)

Test done on:
Vega64 OC settings: core 1425/920, memory 1100/920
Miner settings: -X 256 -g 2
Windows 10, AMD 18.6.1 driver

It contains a 1% devfee to have a motivation to continue the work on the miner.

I look forward to hearing your feedback about this new release.

Bugtracker: https://github.com/KL0nLutiy/sgminer-kl/issues
Releases: https://github.com/KL0nLutiy/sgminer-kl/releases

sgminer-kl available for windows and linux.

Some optimization tips:

1. Set the following enviroment variables
Code:
setx GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 0
setx GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100

2. You can start from xIntensity -X 256

3. You can run 2 threads per GPU --gpu-threads 2
