Hi everybody,

I have almost completed the preparation for the Monero RandomX-fork. The good news: you probably won't have to do anything (if you mine something else than monero your action may be required - see the technical details below).

Technical details:
* I am still running some tests, but i will activate my changes 1-2 days after this post (i will make another post here then).
* I have changed the scripts to use xmrig instead of xmr-stak. xmrig makes a smooth change to randomX much easier and i hardly found any difference in the hashrate.
* Unfortunately, however, xmrig manages the different cryptonight-variants differently than xmr-stak. The script will try to adapt the settings to make things work, though. If you are mining something else than Monero: please check your hashrate and tell me if there is any problem after the change in the scripts (like i said i will post here again in 1-2 days when i make the change).
* In my tests i have found that the F2-type of VMs are the most  cost-effective for running randomX. This means that there will be no need to change the pool-settings for the fork (currently F2 is also the most cost-effective for mining monero). You can expect a hashrate of ca. 400H/s per used core. If you have a MSDN-Enterprise subscription this should net you 7-8KH/s (whether this is a lot or not we'll only know after the fork).
