ARIAMINER-QTC v2.2.0 — optimized GPU miner for Quantus (QTC), AriaPool pool
===========================================================================

QUICK START — this is ALL you need:
    tar xzf ariaminer-qtc-v2.2.0-linux-x86_64.tar.gz
    cd ariaminer-qtc
    ./ariaminer-qtc --pool http://qtc-node.ariabrain.com:9412 --address qzYOUR_ADDRESS --worker RIG_NAME

  The pool URL must be the getwork endpoint above. A website hostname behind an
  HTTP proxy does NOT relay that port: the miner would never receive a job.

REQUIREMENTS
  - NVIDIA RTX 30xx / 40xx / 50xx, recent driver (one binary covers all three)
  - Ubuntu 22.04 or newer (any distro with glibc >= 2.34)
  - a Quantus address (starts with qz)

WHAT IS NEW IN 2.2.0
  - Faster than 2.1.2 on RTX 50.
  - Same start-up checks: the miner verifies its own hashing on your card and
    refuses to mine if anything differs.
  - Unchanged: 1 % dev fee (mining time), HiveOS package, Vast script.

EARLIER VERSIONS
  2.1.2  RTX 50, RTX 40 and RTX 30 faster
  2.1.1  RTX 50 start-up fix
  2.1.0  RTX 50 faster
  2.0.0  one binary, kernels chosen per card at start-up; RTX 30/40 faster; pool lock removed
  1.9.1  RTX 30/40 fix; per-card auto-tune; power and MH/s per watt in the log
  1.8.0  AriaPool-signed jobs (lock later removed in 2.0.0)
  1.7.1  dev fee 3 % -> 1 %
  1.7.0  RTX 50 faster
  1.6.0  first public GPU release

USEFUL OPTIONS
  --gpu-list 0,1       select cards (default: all)
  --kernel energy      force a kernel (auto|energy|compact), --retune to re-measure
  --hashrate-hint N    announced H/s at startup, speeds up vardiff
  --color always       colours and timestamps also when the log is piped or saved
                       (default: only on a terminal; --color never for none)

DEV FEE: 1 % of mining TIME (990 s yours / 10 s dev per 1000 s cycle), shown
once at startup and verifiable on the pool page (worker "dev"). The dev wallet
address never appears in the logs. There is no disable switch in the public binary.

POOL FEE: 1 % — displayed on the pool stats page.
