• Support for getblocktemplate decentralized mining protocol (no proxy needed!)
• Builtin stratum and getwork proxy server
• Very low overhead free C code for Linux and Windows with very low CPU usage
• Integrated overclocking and fan control (including automatic adjustment, if configured)
• Heavily threaded code hands out work retrieval and work submission to separate threads to not hinder devices working
• Caching of submissions during transient network outages
• Preemptive generation of work prior to completion of current work
• Automatically detects failing pools and disables them
• Multi-device support (all or discrete selection)
• Summarised and discrete device data statistics of requests, accepts, rejects, hw errors, efficiency and utility
• Watchdog thread to restart idle threads but not crash machine if they don't respond
• Summary displayed when quitting
• Supports multiple pools with multiple intelligent failover mechanisms
• On the fly menu based management of most settings
• Trickling of extra work to backup pools if primary pool is responding but slow
• On the fly enabling/disable/restarting of devices
• Device temperature monitoring (for devices that support it)
• Reuses persistent connections when possible
• RPC interface for remote control
• Ability to cope with slow routers
• Lots of other stuff I can't remember. See options.
