Detect or add support for emulated software-based AES #917

Closed jleni closed 6 years ago

jleni commented 6 years ago

We have registered many cases where people try to install QRL in unsupported older CPUs.

Although these CPUs will never be competitive with respect to mining, there are some factors that we need to consider:

The task would be to add a proper error message or ideally add support for software based AES to the qryptonight library.

While this issue is created here for tracking, I will soon open an identical issue in the qryptonight repo.
