The latest software update for the production of cryptocurrency SRBMiner to version 1.6.8 brought support for the CryptoNight V8 algorithm, which will be a new algorithm for Monero (XMR) instead of the original CryptoNight. Since at block 168555 (approximately October 18) in the networkMonero (XMR) hardfork will happen, make sure that you are ready for this event so that you can continue to get XMR. In addition, the updated version of the miner should work a little faster, thanks to improved performance for some GPU models. Also note that the developer’s commission is now 0.85% for both modes, normal and switchable. The new version also introduced a number of other improvements and fixes, a full list of which you can find below.
