Is there a reason that you disabled 2/3 of the algorithms to mine with? #417

I have various alt-coin algorithms which I use t-rex miner to mine with. Because I have an Nvidia GTX 1050 video card with 2GB of ram, and I can't mine MTP, or ETH, or those ones which require at least 4GB of VRam because of DAG size now. Your mining software is only one of two which will mine megabtx and my profit switching is actually selecting your miner on megabtx to mine with, cause it's the most profitable right now. Same thing with sha256-t. This is really sad, because I have a lot of 4GB GTX 1050 video cards that I'm using still, because GPU's are getting RIDICULOUSLY expensive. Please fix this!! hell, i'll be willing to even pay a 3% dev fee for those algos, but why take away mining profits, as shit as they may seem. You know...as well as I do, ETH, MTP, all those lucrative coins will eventually be outmine by ASIC's and become less profitable anyway...

We've had to do a major code refactoring recently, and if we hadn't removed megabtx, x25x and the others, it would've significantly increased the effort to prepare the next release. Only a tiny percentage of our users have been using those algorithms, so we made a decision not to spend days refactoring x-family kernels, but simply get rid of it. If you need to use an algorithm that got removed, please use an older version. Sorry about the inconvenience.
