snider 69376b886f feat: Rebrand xmrig to miner and vendor XMRig ecosystem
Complete rebranding of all components:
- Core miner: xmrig -> miner (binary, version.h, CMakeLists.txt)
- Proxy: xmrig-proxy -> miner-proxy
- CUDA plugin: xmrig-cuda -> miner-cuda
- Heatmap: xmrig-nonces-heatmap -> miner-nonces-heatmap
- Go CLI wrapper: miner-cli -> miner-ctrl

Vendored XMRig ecosystem into miner/ directory:
- miner/core - XMRig CPU/GPU miner
- miner/proxy - Stratum proxy
- miner/cuda - NVIDIA CUDA plugin
- miner/heatmap - Nonce visualization tool
- miner/config - Configuration UI
- miner/deps - Pre-built dependencies

Updated dev fee to use project wallet with opt-out (kMinimumDonateLevel=0)
Updated branding to Lethean (domain, copyright, version 0.1.0)

GhostRider (Raptoreum) release notes

XMRig supports GhostRider algorithm starting from version v6.16.0.

No tuning is required - auto-config works well on most CPUs!

Sample command line (non-SSL port)

xmrig -a gr -o raptoreumemporium.com:3008 -u WALLET_ADDRESS -p x

Sample command line (SSL port)

xmrig -a gr -o rtm.suprnova.cc:4273 --tls -u WALLET_ADDRESS -p x

You can use rtm_ghostrider_example.cmd as a template and put pool URL and your wallet address there. The general XMRig documentation is available here.

Using --threads or -t option is NOT recommended because it turns off advanced built-in config. If you want to tweak the number of threads used for GhostRider, it's recommended to start using config.json instead of command line. The best suitable command line option for this is --cpu-max-threads-hint=N where N can be between 0 and 100.

Performance

While individual algorithm implementations are a bit unoptimized, XMRig achieves higher hashrates by employing better auto-config and more fine-grained thread scheduling: it can calculate a single batch of hashes using 2 threads for parts that don't require much cache. For example, on a typical Intel CPU (2 MB cache per core) it will use 1 thread per core for cn/fast, and 2 threads per core for other Cryptonight variants while calculating the same batch of hashes, always achieving more than 50% CPU load.

For the same reason, XMRig can sometimes use less than 100% CPU on Ryzen 3000/5000 CPUs if it finds that running 1 thread per core is faster for some Cryptonight variants on your system.
