Today I am releasing version 3.0 of FindTheMag, a Gridcoin mining tool

FindTheMag is a powerful tool which helps you find the most profitable BOINC projects to mine/crunch. It is open source and runs on Linux/MacOS/Windows. FTM can also directly control your BOINC !boinc client, giving you more control over the crunching process than BOINC typically gives you.

Context: Gridcoin !gridcoin is a CPU and GPU-mineable cryptocurrency which has you process data for scientific research projects instead of calculating hashes. Finding the most profitable BOINC project can be tricky because every BOINC project awards credit differently, all hardware achieve different levels of efficiency on each project, and you must calculate the credit:magnitude ratio for any given project. Gridcoin is the most ASIC-resistant coin in existence.

This new release comes with a number of enhancements and all existing users are encouraged to upgrade.

Changes:

• Massive stability improvements, particularly when communicating with BOINC client. This should eliminate pretty much every crash condition encountered by FTM 2 users.
• Fix a number of bugs in stats calculation and output
• Table printed to user is now more useful and you can customize various aspects of it
