Fixed an issue causing crashing with some RTX 3060/3080/3090 cards
Implemented new "turbo" kernels (-clkernel 3) for AMD Polaris cards that can work with the current DAG sizes over 4 GB. Note that -clkernel 3 uses double the VRAM and will provide slightly faster hashrate with slightly higher power consumption. You can use the -rvram command-line parameter to specify how much VRAM to be left unused
Increased the maximum supported DAG epoch to 600 (i.e. until about Sep 2023)
Implemented full hardware control for AMD RX6900/6800/6700 cards under Linux. Note that with these cards under Linux you need to specify relative core voltage: e.g. - cclock -50 will set the core voltage to be 50 mV under the default value
Added ROCr kernels for Vega, Radeon VII and Navi cards. With these kernels you will be able to run these cards with Linux drivers 20.45 and later but the performance will be lower than with the older PAL drivers and kernels. We recommend using AMD Linux driver 20.30 for all cards except RX6900/6800/6700
Fixed an issue causing crashing with some RX6900/6800/6700 cards under Linux (there is no need to run these cards with -clkernel 0 anymore)
Added support for AMD Windows drivers up to 21.8.1. Note that Radeon VII cards will not work with drivers 21.6.1 or higher - you need to use older drivers for proper operation of these cards
Added support for AMD Linux drivers up to 21.20 (use older drivers for Vega or Radeon VII cards as they will not work with 21.20). Note that the latest 21.30 drivers are not supported (and the initial testing shows that even the older Polars cards are not working properly with them, so avoid 21.30 for now)
Numerous other fixes and small improvements

Re: [BCN] Bytecoin. Secure, private, untraceable since 2012
FYI: I have captured this message on Poloniex. Maybe important message for guys who use merge mining.
The following coins will be delisted on August 29th: GIAR, BITS, SHIBE, XLB, DIS, CNL, YIN, YANG, NL, FCN, QCN. Please withdraw your balances of these coins as soon as possible. Posted by busoni@poloniex at 2014-08-27 18:11:48
Thanks a lot for the info, indeed, it's very important message
I don't know if these two events (multi-sig txns and BCN launch) were somehow connected with each other but no doubt both of them have influenced on Crypto Currency world.
I agree that multi-sig is great. That's good for BCN community that devs have implemented multi-sig txns as they make txns with the use of escrow completely transparent and protected from fraud
Noob question but what is ''multi-sig txns''? how does it work?
What did you guys expect? You don't even come across these names here on this forum. If you ask people here which pool do they use, you will most likely get "minergaaate" or "extremepooool". Honestly, nobody gives a sh*t about those small pools. Furthermore, they don't even know about them, because they're too lazy to check page 1.
Sad but true...
I think the main reasons why the pools are small that, in the first, they is no good promotion and, in the second, the pools were created a lot later after Minergate and Extreme pools. So, if there would be good promotional campaign the situation could change. BTW Xmining is good to mine pool, IMO, but tastes differ
I totally agree and I also think XMining pool is very good, I mine there myself.
What about freeyy.me pool? Have anyone tried to mine there? It seems to have the smallest h/r but, IMO, that's because there are few people who have heard about it
One of the reasons why I mine Bytecoin is that it require less energy to mine this coin than Bitcoin. So, Bytecoin is more ecological coin than BTC. IMO, it's an important advantage in the area when environmental issues have risen to the fore
Agree
Well, nowadays Bytecoin is like Bitcoin in 2009 - it's up to date coin which is true anonymous and recently have got more user-friendly interface with gui wallet.
Technology evolves over time and now there is CryptoNote Technology with its ring signature and private keys which make transactions even more anonymous. Indeed, BCN became more friendly to new users as gui wallet has appeared.
Is that wallet legit? Don't see much info about it anywhere else.
Edit: Crashes upon opening
Good question. IMO,it's legit but there is a dispute about its name cause it was already used by another guy so it leads to misunderstanding using the same name for another project
Did I get it right, if there is two ways to secure a place on hitbtc: 1) to be the currency with the highest number of votes (no it's impossible to vote for the coin) 2) to get 2 or more Market Makers. Who are that market makers?
Wow, I've forgotten about hitbtc. I don't know who exactly are market makers, but here is what I've found - https://hitbtc.com/mm According to this info MM are members who signed market-maker contract and you must pay for the contract and to get some privileges.

I am not surprised that there is 13M BCN already, I've expected about 10M BCN media fund. So, I am glad it's more than I was thinking

I am curios will this dispute ever end ? It's going to become permanent to argue which coin is better
I've just found that currently simplewallet can be refreshed before the block chain is fully synced (in bytecoind). Another small but great usability update from Bytecoin!
Didn't know that. Thanks a lot for sharing this useful info
I think the same. In this situation it's good for Monero to buy the 2nd place. IMO it's great benefit for any coin to be added to hitbtc. So it's better for BCN to be added to hitbtc asap .
I am sure that there are a lot of people who are interested in BCN and we don't need to buy the place. If you are sure your coin is the coin of the future and you want to spend money for good you shouldn't buy any places you'd better to fund different projects to make your coin better, to upgrade it,
As for Monero, I can only say that XMR developer team is doing all their might in promoting their coin everywhere instead of spending their time trying to improve its code.

BCN is great. Even gmaxwell (Greg Maxwell) is has BCN wallet. This matter a lot as he does not invest in coins with a bad reputation
I am very surprised to see that Monero has more votes than Bytecoin.
shocked !
I am not surprised .. look on the value trade on Poloniex. I am surprised (positive) that BCN is on such a high position. https://hitbtc.com/vote - we are before Darkcoin.
Me too. BCN unlike other coins is going up slowly but confidently.
Well, I understand you but it's weird that bcn fork is on a higher position. This is a little bit unfair, IMO.
